I got an email today that the Ebates shopping portal is offering double cashback (up to 15%) at select merchants to celebrate Black Friday
If you don’t know how Ebates (or shopping portals) work, basically you go to Ebates, and they have a cashback amount for every merchant. As long as you click through to the merchant from Ebates, you should get the applicable percentage in cashback into your Ebates account (after a couple of weeks). So let’s say you were going to buy a new basketball at Dick’s Sporting Goods (at 3% cash back). It cost $43.21 after tax – you’d earn $1.30 into your Ebates account after a few weeks.
Although it’s advertised as “up to 15% off” it looks like most of the deals are just double cashback. Some of the better deals are Walmart at 2% (usually 1%) and Amazon at 6% (though only certain categories are 6% – others are 3% or no bonus at all). Also Kohl’s, Old Navy and Office Depot at 6%

Typically (but not always) gift cards are excluded – check the fine print. Remember that there are also 5 holiday shopping portal bonuses going on that might make better deals – use a comparison site to check around
- Alaska (1,000 bonus points)
- American (4,000 bonus points)
- Delta (1,000 bonus points)
- Southwest (3,000 bonus points)
- United (5,000 bonus points)
Combine with $25 Ebates referral promo?
Currently Ebates is offering a promotion of $25 if you refer a friend (the new friend gets a $10 bonus). So if you haven’t signed up, or know a friend or family member who hasn’t, now would be a good time! Thanks in advance if you use my Ebates referral link, and you can share your links on our dedicated post at the PWaC miles and points Facebook group
