Have you ever used ebates or know anything about them? It sounds great, but there must be a catch.

Thanks!

My wife has been doing ebates for several years. There is no catch to it, other than those outlined in their Terms & Conditions. She says it can be a bit time-consuming doing the click-throughs from the ebates site when you're actually buying stuff. How well it works for you, of course, depends on whether the participating merchants actually have stuff that one needs at any given time. It won't make you rich but it is, essentially, free money, so why not?

Reminds me of Groupon

Thanks ghostrider. Carrie, I get the local Groupon emails, but there never seems to anything that appeals to me. Maybe I'll try ebates. With another email address so I don't get spammed to death in my regular inbox.

Always a good idea, but I think ebates generates no third-party spam - you have to get emails from ebates itself, but they don't farm out your email address.

We get very little spam of any sort - that's one thing AT&T has going for it - so any volume of spam at all is going to be noticeable here.

That's great--thanks!!
