Have you noticed this banner on the Ebates homepage?:
"I need to fatten up my what?"
If you're new to Ebates, this can be confusing. No, we're not asking you to lock a check in a tiny cage and gorge it with grain and full-fat milk. We're telling you that September 30th is the deadline to earn Cash Back for your next Big Fat Check!
To earn Cash Back, you have to sign in to Ebates, then click on a merchant link to shop. The percentage listed next to the merchant's name is how much Cash Back you'll receive when you make a purchase. Remember, though, that you have to click through Ebates to get the Cash Back!
We send out Big Fat Checks quarterly, but you must have at least $5.01 in Cash Back from purchases made through Ebates in order to receive your check. This quarter, the Big Fat Checks will be mailed on November 15th.
Ebates is run by human beings, and occasionally errors are made. Do we have your current address? Is your PayPal account still active? If for some reason you don't receive your Big Fat Check, we have a very attentive Customer Care department. You can submit a question here and you'll get a quick response.
Ah, the Big Fat Check. Guess this means you'll have to hurry and buy those new shoes you've been eyeing before September 30th! The things you've gotta do sometimes...
