Earn Cash-back from Referrals

A friend of mine just signed up wtih Mr. Rebates and now she is one of my referrals. She made a purchase right away and was awarded her cash-back rebate. But now that she is a referral of mine, I ALSO receive a cash-back rebate. So not only do I earn money for my own purchases, I will earn money whenever SHE shops online!

This is what is looks like when you get a referral rebate. You can't see the store that the purchase was made from. You can only see the total amount of her rebate.

If you click on the Referral 20% Buy Bonus Buy link under Store, you can see the email address of which friend placed the order but the rest of the information remains confidential.

So sign up with Mr. Rebates and then share the program with a few friends and get on your way to earning Cash Back for shopping online.

OfficeMax Rebate

So in my search for a new printer, I began looking at all the office supply stores and comparing prices. I narrowed down my choice and loved the sale that OfficeMax was offering. So when I was done researching and had decided on OfficeMax, I logged into my Mr. Rebates account and began my shopping trip from there.

Several items helped me choose OfficeMax. First, the OfficeMax Mr. Rebates Cash Back offer is usally 2% but was raised to 3% for back-to-school shopping. I also had $80 in MaxPerks (which are store dollars they reward for certain purchases). The printer I chose was on sale for $100 off at OfficeMax plus they were offering $50 MaxPerks. They offer free shipping with a $50 order so that was taken care of. I also had a coupon sent to MaxPerks members for $30 off a purchase of $100 or more. Finally, I added in some pens and highlighters that will reward 100% in MaxPerks.

Thursday I received the confirmation from Mr. Rebates of my cash back reward for this purchase.

So here's how my transaction ended up:

The original printer cost:    $299.99

                       On Sale:   -$100.00

      MaxPerks Coupon:     -$30.00

       MaxPerks Applied:    -$80.00

    MaxPerks awarded:      -$76.94

Mr. Rebates Cash Back:     -$6.82

                Final Cost:       $126.26

Remember this order also incluced six boxes of pens and three sets of highlighters!

Earn cash back when you shop online

If you shop online, you should be earning some kind of reward! There are lots of programs out there that offer points, but Mr. Rebates offers you CASH BACK. All you have to do is sign up for a free account and begin each of your shopping trips at the Mr. Rebates homepage.

Now, what's the catch? Well, as with all good things, you'll have to wait a bit. Your cash back rebates sit in the Pending Accounts column for three months. Once they are "cleared" they move over to Available Rebates. Once you have $10 or more, you can request a check to be mailed to you!

So, do you think three months is too long to wait? How much are you going to buy online between now and then? Would you rather skip it because you don't want to wait that long? Or you could sign up and start earning cash back on all your purchases between now and then. You could build up a little bit of a balance and get a nice little check in the mail in November to help out with your Christmas shopping!

Does $10 seem like too much? Well, sign up today and you'll get a $5 bonus to help you get started!
