Ebates: $30 when You Refer a Friend

20090515refer_header

Do you Ebate?  Well, if you don’t I have a deal for you too good to pass on.  If you already use Ebates, this deal is also for you. Ebates is currently offering $5 for every friend you refer and starts using their service.  Not only will you get $5 but so will your friend.  On top of that, if you refer more than three friends, YOU and YOUR Friends will get $10 each instead of only $5.

But to get your referral fee, you need to get your friends to start using their service.  The great news is that right now there’s an easy and practically free way to get started on Ebates.  As I blogged last week, JCPenney is offering $10 off $10 or more purchase code.  What you can do if you are new to Ebates, and what you can share with your friends you would like to refer is:

Sign up for Ebates. Once you are signed up, select JCPenney as the first place you will shop online. When you are in the JCPenney website, select an item or items close to $10 in value.  Use the code GR8DAD to deduct $10 at checkout.  You will need to pay shipping which starts at $4.50 BUT, that’s easily covered by the Ebates Referral Fee.  Basically you are getting your JCPenney purchase for free, the referral fee covers the shipping and because you shopped through Ebates you will get 4% back on your purchase from Ebates.

I think that’s a pretty good deal and I want to thank Crystal, the Money Saving Mom, for spelling it out so well for us.  Want to learn more about Ebates and how it works?  Check out my initial post about it here.
