I contacted customer service by email with a request to re-issue a voided check and got a response almost instantly. Within a few minutes (after verification) I was notified that my check would be re-issued soon. Awesome customer service!
I have been using Ebates for about 2 years now and I am completely satisfied with their customer service, the website in a whole and I think it is a fantastic idea. I am a huge online shopper due to the majority of my days spent sitting at a computer for 8 to 12 hours a day, and it is amazing to get cash back for shopping. I would recommend this site to everyone
Short and sweet version!
Miranda is a real person not a computer she replied to every email and helped with everything I needed quickly with no extra questions asked! Great job.
Ebates is the best! Great prices and customer service! And best of all - big rebate checks!
Love the Ebates toolbar button. Never forget to shop through Ebates again!
My issue was handled in a friendly but professional manner. I was very pleased at how quickly it was resolved as well.
I'm sorry I don't have time to really write a review. Suffice it to say that my issue was minor & Danielle treated it like the most important issue on her desk. I guarantee it wasn't. All I really needed was answers to a couple of questions & actually got that and cash back that I wasn't even asking for!
Absolutely top notch customer service. Whenever I shop, it will be through Ebates!
Ebates is not a scam. But they do receive money to advertise items, which often results in higher prices for users. They also take a portion of the affiliate kickback. So there is incentive to promote items with high affiliate kickbacks. Items with high kickback to item price ratios most often did not sell well on the primary sellers site. (Normally because they were overpriced). Using Ebates you can get 3% as a rebate in a few months or you could save up to 40% right now using an e-commerce search engine like http://www.ayedeals.com
Ebates.com is ridiculously easy to use, and it covers big well known retailers as well as small boutique ones! It doesn't take any effort from the customer when using it and it brings you real money! How can you not use it?:-)
I had an issue with an ebates order and ebates helped me fix it in a way that saved me alot of time.
PS: the star rating on the system is not working.; it only says 1 star, but it should be 5 stars. I tried to click on the 5 stars but it wasn't working and there seems to be a system error. Thank you.
I always check Ebates for the company I'm about to order from. Love the fact they give coupon codes as well as giving you cash back on purchases. I have received 2 checks from them!
I dealt with Tiffany in CS and she was patient, responded quickly and exceeded my every expectation
Ebates is the best kept secret in the USA! While many people have heard of it, they do not understand how simply the concept works and are skeptical about any advantages to be gained. Well, let me say that they are missing out on a wonderful opportunity to 1) make money while shopping and 2) be a part of an amazing program run by highly professional people who have the work ethic and thoroughness of yesterday. Not only do they provide daily notifications of increased % refunds, but they notify the customers each time they earn credit toward their "big, fat check" (quarterly). If you have the chance to do one thing in the immediate future, I highly recommend signing up to be a part of Ebates. I promise that you will not be sorry.
False and deceitful practices. Shipped refurbished product when the description clearly stated "Brand New". Never responded to repeated enquiries.
WORST SHOPPING EXPERIENCE!
After finding that a couple of orders I placed online did not go through my Ebates account I contacted Ebates customer service. With only one or two questions by email the customer service department was able to find the problem and solve it to my satisfaction. They certainly did not have to go the extra mile to help me but I'm glad they did!
Had a Cash Back transaction that did not register with Ebates and so made and enquiry with customer service who then proceeded to look into my case. Sure enough they were able so solve the issue and get me my Cash Back amount in my account.
Thanks Ebates
Buy.com was a good site, once the change happened the site was on borrowed time.
I got a Rakuten mastercard to get $80 in points and purchase a very nice watch.
Took two months to get the card in my hands, I only got $60 in points and the watch was sold out never to return.
After days and two calls, get an email from the highest level of customer service, which agreed that I didn't get my card on time to get the $20 in points, but refused to give them to me.
I order a 70d, I again don't get the promo points just the $8.19 for the purchase.
Then order is placed on hold, because they can't confirm the address of their own credit card, and mind you I have no changes both addresses have been on file since the BUY.com days.
There used to be deals on BUY.com, I remember ordering 50% of parts for building my editing computers years ago, but now you would be lucky to get %10 below going price by using all your points. The deals are gone, the customer service is gone and so am I.
Closing the new mastercard as its the least helpful card for rewards ever.
Heide in customer service is so wonderful. I did not receive my Big Fat Check in the mail. Not because it wasn't sent out but perhaps it just got lost int he mail. She got back with me within minutes to let me know another check would be sent out in a few weeks. That is exceptional service in my mind! Ebates is such a wonderful program. I love that you actually get money back just for shopping at your favorite stores! How can you not sign up? Thanks Ebates for doing a wonderful job!
This website is great! I receive a cash back check every few months from my purchases. Never noticed a difference in the price when using this website. At least for the stores I visit this never happened(Macy's, gap, old navy, julep, Aldo, The bay and several other of this type). The customer service responds very quickly to every question. Overall, a five star website and service.
My ebate check was mailed but never received. I contact ebates to inform and the team immediately sprung to action. Customer Care reached out to me w/in a few days to verify some information and approximately one week or so, I received an email that they will issue a replacement check. Alexis and her colleagues were prompted, friendly yet professional. Outstanding customer service!

Answer: Hi Mike, This is a great idea. I'll make sure that our leadership team is aware of this suggestion and I'll see what we can do to make it happen in the future. We know that Ebates is the best Cash Back shopping service, but we appreciate your confirmation of this fact.
Answer: I can't answer about the owner ripping people off. All I know is I have ordered from Rakuten numerous times and have nothing but praise for them. I haven't read the bad reviews but I've gotten nothing but good products.
Answer: I can't tell you I would buy again. I had no help from rakuten when needed. They said they are not responsible for the sellers since they work as an online shopping center. I would suggest you buying at Amazon. I never had problems with them. Regards
Answer: I dont know there some wierred how come I just order some jewelry.com and I order two earring only and its just 30.00 dollars. But when I use debates the price went up to high.
Answer: If it for some reason doesn't show like it should, I contact ebates. I include a copy of the email with the information from the order placed. Normally I wait until the purchase has arrived. This gives ebates and the store to put the transaction in your account.
