<p>ooh I forgot to use MrRebate! :(</p>
<p>I do not know about MrRebate, etc. and the other ones…brief explanation???</p>
<p>I use ebates.com. You set up an online account, and start your internet shopping at their website. Ebates sends you a check for your rebates periodically…the amount of the rebate depends on where you shop, how often you shop online,etc.</p>
<p>DH and I already used one of these coupons for an early dinner. We had a great meal, so it was an absolute bargain! This was our first experience using restaurant dot com and it was a very good experience. One coupon down, and with four more to use!</p>
<p>Bloomingdales Friends and Family weekend, 20% off total order with free shipping, code FALLFRIENDS11. Discount worked on several things usually excluded from promos, including Hunter and Longchamp. Plus 3% through ebates.</p>
<p>And this is my 1,000th post!</p>
<p>Dillards [Dillard’s</a> - Official Site of Dillard’s Department Stores - Dillards.com | The Style of Your Life](<a href=“http://www.dillards.com%5DDillard’s”>http://www.dillards.com) has 40% off already reduced for clearance items through the weekend.
Yesterday I got two Jones New York solid color tee-shirts for $3.99 each (great for wearing under sweaters in the fall) and a pr. of JNY khaki shorts for $6 at the Dillards in our local mall.</p>
<p>Coach outlet at Tanger Outlet on Long Island had 50% off many items with an additional 20% from coupon at the door plus additional 5% for $1 donation to breast cancer research or 10% for 5$ donation for a total of 80% off total purchase. I didn’t care, but the bride went nuts.</p>
<p>Northeastmom, I’m glad it went well using your first certificate!</p>
<p>I bought a dress at Ross for $19.99 yesterday and only noticed when I got home that the original price tag said $240. The brand is Vertigo/Paris. I’ve never heard of that but I was very impressed by my terrific deal.</p>
<p>Yes, ebates just sent me my ‘big fat check’ (they write this on the envelope 
). DH thought it was very exciting. He’s easily amused. ;)</p>
<p>I still use upromise dot com even though we are (finally) done with schools for DS.</p>
<p>I have to ASK for a check to be mailed to me which I do about once per year but otherwise I like them. I don’t switch to other ones mentioned due to inertia…</p>
<p>The % back seems to vary by site and changes often so it’s a moving target to me to use the ‘best’ one.
I like that upromise has restaurant dot com listed as well, so I can get cash back on my big $2 when I buy an already 80% off dining coupon that they run periodically. Fun!</p>
<p>abasket, thanks!</p>
<p>So…any big differences in the way they operate between MrRebate and ebates???</p>
<p>I’ve only done ebates and upromise, so I can’t compare them with Mr. Rebate. ebates and upromise are very similar, but ebates sends “the big fat check” without request. It’s just easier for me.</p>
<p>I signed up for ebates because I needed to order a baby shower gift to be shipped from Target - I ordered through their site link - suppose the ebate will show up eventually in my account??? I do a fair bit of internet shopping especially this time of year so I figure it’s worth a try…!</p>
<p>How long does it take for an ebate to show up on your account after you purchase online???</p>
<p>abasket, I usually get an email about the rebate. You should get one in a couple of days. If not, just sign into your ebates account and see if it is there.</p>
<p>Just my two cents but I always check to see which site is offering a greater percentage cash back and 99.5% of the time it’s mr. rebates, typically by a significant margin. Enjoy whichever you choose.</p>
<p>Another good deal at Lands End. This time I ordered from their Canvas section. I bought 4 pairs of men’s jeans for 14.99 each (sale price). Using a code I was able to get $10 off the $60 with free shipping. Total should have been $50 for 4 pairs of jeans (shipping included). It gets better…it turned out that they only had 3 pairs in stock so they still honored the free shipping and $10 off on the order which now was $45 before the $10 discount. This means that I am paying about $11.65 per pair with free shipping! Oh, and on top of all of this I plugged in my shopping your way rewards number and went through ebates (Mr. Rebates is 1% more back if you use them).</p>
<p>My son will be traveling for interviews in the next few months, so I have been looking for a nice carry-on bag for him, at a good price. I finally found a Travelpro 20" Carry-On Rollaboard for $80 at Tuesday Morning. I looked at Macys, Bloomindales, Costco, Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Ross before finding this one. The only thing it lacks is what I would consider sufficient padding for a laptop in the front pocket, easily solved with a padded sleeve. And it carries a lifetime warranty!</p>
<p>I’ve recently been trying to buy everyone in the family one good sturdy piece of luggage - something big enough, but small enough to carry-on. So far I’ve purchased all but one at TJMaxx - unique pieces, fun colors (I kind of like my suitcase to stand out a bit so I can recognize it quicker than 100 pieces of navy/black) and quality brands.</p>
