In a press release today, Ebates (aff) reported an increase in year-over-year sales of 17%. They say their average order size is over $100, and that year-to-date they’ve seen an increase in appliance purchases of 209%, department store/mass merchandisers of 121%, and health & beauty of 64%. (See the release for more data.)
They have over 1000 merchants now, says the press release. Wow.
Kevin Johnson, Ebates’ CEO, is quoted as saying, “Many of our members can afford to pay full price but they’re all too smart to do so.” You’re darned right! NEVER pay full price, people!
I’ve been a member of Ebates for years and I LOVE them! They have great cashback rates and excellent customer service. I enjoy getting my quarterly Big Fat Check (actually got my latest one in the mail today for $88). Recommend ‘em highly!
