Get a signup bonus!

I’ve been a member of Rakuten/Ebates since 2007 and have already received over $700 cashback—for doing nothing but entering the store website through Rakuten and referring a few members.

Almost all of the stores I shop through offer cash back through Rakuten – even certain departments at Amazon! Maybe that means I shop online too much, but I’m grateful for the cash back either way!

If you use my link, you will receive a $40 bonus when you sign up and make your first purchase over $40 (full disclosure—I will receive a bonus too). Once you’re a member, use your link to refer your friends!

If you’re going to shop online, you might as well get cashback for it!
