Yeah, this is basically a no brainer for anyone who purchases stuff on the internet. Ebates doesn't cover every website out there, of course, but for the ones that it does, you get money back, even if it if only 1 percent.
So if you are going to buy stuff anyway, what the heck, it IS just like free money with very little effort on your part.
Oh, and for those people who think this is just some sort of money making proposition to benefit me, just go directly to
http://www.ebates.com and sign up directly that way. I really don't care. I thought some people might find this program an excellent way to keep more money in their pockets.
