Free Shipping Friday the 13th!

Wow, I'm surprised that so many people are so superstitious. Yes, today is Friday the 13th, which somewhere along the line became an ill-fated day full of bad omens and worse luck. Still, as I sit here examining today's free shipping offerings, I notice a surprising void: not one single merchant seems willing to end their free shipping deals on Friday the 13th. Literally, I look at the list and see plenty of coupons ending on the 14th, and I saw some ending on the 12th yesterday, but apparently offering a final day of free shipping on the 13th is just taboo. Here at Ebates, we are fearless when it comes to bringing you cash back, so bring on the black cats and ladders - we'll keep on helping you save!

Here is the rest of the week's deals:

Saturday, November 14th
- Free Standard Shipping on any order at Prescriptives. Code SLPKIT

Get Even More Cash Back From Your Favorite Stores!

Skip The Mall. Earn Cash Back With Ebates!

Well folks, it's officially November. If you're still in disbelief that both the end of the year and the holidays are around the corner, join the club. You see I'm a procrastinator. Someone who shops at the last minute (I'm talking airports while waiting for my flight) and usually when I'm strapped for cash. This year I'm committed to having both ample cash in my pocket and all my presents purchased before they announce my flight is boarding. This is easily achieved now that November is Cash Back Month, during which our top merchants will have increased or doubled (some more than doubled) cash back. Aside from increased cash back, there are also plenty of sales, deals, and special coupons. So stay tuned and relax! It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Here are just a few stores stores with increased cash back. See more here.

HSN                 Was 3.0% Cash Back           Now 6.0% Cash Back

Macys              Was 3.0% Cash Back           Now 5.0% Cash Back

Lancome           Was 6.0% Cash Back           Now 12.0% Cash Back

Shutterfly          Was 10.0% Cash Back          Now 15.0% Cash Back

Sears               Was 2.0% Cash Back            Now 4.0% Cash Back

Gap                  Was 2.0% Cash Back       Now 10.0% Cash Back

Sephora            Was 4.0% Cash Back           Now 8.0% Cash Back

Happy Holidays From Ebates!

Free Shipping Friday

Here we are again, it's the eve of Halloween, which means it's also the eve of the end of the month. You know what that means - sales aplenty! If you're like me, you'll probably be running out Sunday morning to get all those great deals on leftover candy in the stores. But if you want your savings to come on Halloween itself, look no further than the Free Shipping page; there are more deals there than I can even wrap my head around, let alone try to pick the best. So take a look for yourself, chances are between the holiday and the end of the month, your favorite merchants might have some special sale running.

Find all the best deals from your favorite merchants at Ebates.

Celebrate Savings With Double Cash Back At HSN!

When you think of HSN, you probably think of a shopping television network that sells a variety of products from the quirky to the seriously discounted. And while this is true for HSN, the range of products that they sell is quite staggering and goes far beyond storage solutions and hand-held clothing steamers. Shop HSN and find chic clothing and accessories (including designer collaborations), top-rated electronics, food, sports and beauty products and much more.

It's not just variety that makes shopping at HSN appealing to even the most seasoned shopper, it is their endless amount of deals, coupons and in celebration of Columbus Day, they have doubled to 6.0% Cash Back. I was lost in the deals in cookware (they have some amazing prices) when I stumbled upon an amazing deal on a product that I absolutely needed, perhaps more than a Wolfgang Puck Skillet. Today's Special Value at HSN is this Foot Petals Kit for just $29.95 with 6.0% Cash Back. The kit includes solutions for every shoe dilemma: from sliding forward in sandals to sore feet in stilettos, this kit has you covered and comfortable.

Check out all HSN coupons and deals or all of our Columbus Day Sale merchants!

Free Shipping Friday

Greetings again friends, here we are yet again at another Friday, and another wonderful round of free shipping deals. As you may or may not have realized, we are inching ever closer towards the end of the month. That's right, we all blinked, and suddenly this coming Wednesday is the last day of the month. Unfortunately for our time here, that means I won't even begin to try to outline the number of free shipping offers that will end on September 30th.

However - there is one major benefit I have to share you, and that is the fact that Wednesday also marks the end of the period in which you can earn cash back that will be credited to your account in time for the November 15th payment. That also means you should take some time this weekend to make sure that your address and other personal info is in order, so that we can assure that we'll be able to pay you the precious cash back that you so dearly deserve.

Have a great weekend!

Free Shipping Friday

Ahh, it's good to be back to Free Shipping Friday. I don't know about you folks, but I know it felt like a little bit of my life was empty not having this wonderful collection of deals on the blog last week. This coming week, as you all know, will include the end of the month, which means there are plenty of deals to go around. By my rough estimate at the time of writing this, I believe there are almost 250 Free Shipping codes, so rather than trying to pare those down to a manageable list (I mean, come on, it would still have to be at least a hundred offers), I am just going to say click here and see the magnificent wonderland of free shipping that we have here at Ebates!

Did you know? #46: Back to School is Upon Us!

As a former teacher, I definitely miss having summers off. What I don't miss, however, is having to give up the complete and total freedom of summer every year when vacation came to an end and I knew I'd be back into the cycle of not sleeping, grading papers, writing lesson plans, and mainlining coffee all whilst trying to help shape tomorrow's young minds.

Luckily, having made the move to Ebates, the words Back to School take on an entirely different meaning now. Now, rather than sleepless nights and constant headaches, I can look forward to laptop sales galore, school supplies discounted more than you'd believe, and great deals on apparel.

Free Shipping Friday

As I sit down to write this week's installment of Free Shipping Friday, there is one fact that is borderline overwhelming: as today is the last day of the month, and tomorrow is the first, this weekend is rife with free shipping coupons. So many, in fact, that to try to pick the best of the litter would be damn near impossible. So, call it a cop-out if you must, but I can't even begin to try to tackle highlighting my faves of these two days, and then following the first, the list immediately tapers off because, come on, let's be honest - who really schedules a coupon to end on the third of the month? So I give you this link, and I say: peruse at your own leisure, that's where you'll find all the about-to-expire free shipping deals.

Either way, enjoy!

Disney Fans Unite With 11% Cash Back At Disney Movie Club!

Considering TV has turned into one giant reality show filled with drama, drunkenness, and things best left in the bedroom, it's no wonder smart stylish women (such as myself) are turning to Disney for a lighthearted change. While I have always been open regarding my love of Hannah Montana, or Wizards of Waverly Place, there are still a few amongst us who secretly TiVo Jonas for fear of ridicule. Here at Ebates we love what you love, and in support of WFD (women for Disney) we're offering $11 Cash Back at Disney Movie Club for first time shoppers.

Aside from sitcoms, Disney Movie Club is home to classics like Sleeping Beauty (my all time favorite) Escape To Witch Mountain, and Mary Poppins to name a few. As part of Cash Back Bonanza at Ebates, we're highlighting the best ways to earn top cash back. So whether you've been meaning to stock up on The Suite Life On Deck, or if you're looking for a great present, do it with Ebates!

Get even more cash back with our Cash Back Bonanza!

We Call It A Cash Back Bonanza, But You Can Call It Another Day At Ebates

You're an Ebates member. You shop our merchants and get cash back on all your purchases. You look for coupons and find deals like free shipping, money off, and the like. It's obvious you're savvy, so I'll spare the speech on what you already know. It pays (literally) to shop Ebates.

But do you know just how much it pays? Maybe not.

Being on the West Coast and in the spirit of the frontier, here at Ebates we're having what you would call a cash back bonanza. No, Little Joe and Hoss won't be making a special appearance, and our offices don't resemble the Ponderosa, but the amount of cash back you can earn may cause you to cowboy up. For the next two weeks we're going to highlight the best and most profitable ways to earn cash back. Aside from your normal shopping habits (like I would stop shopping for shoes-ha!), take a moment to browse merchants like DIRECTV, where you'll earn a whopping $40 Cash Back, or PerfectMatch.com where you'll earn 25% Cash Back on initial membership. Even the most seasoned of shoppers may not be aware of how much they can save and earn with Ebates. Consider the next two weeks a refresher course in cash back, and go ahead. Git 'er dun!

Saddle up to the Ebates Cash Back Bonanza!

How to Score a Great Deal at eBay

You hear us talk all the time about saving money and finding deals with Ebates, but generally we're fairly abstract. The other day I made a purchase that saved me a grand total of about $350 off the retail price. Here's how:

As you may know, I'm a bit of a musician when I'm not blogging, and I decided a while ago that it was time to pick up a new bass amplifier.

I went to Musician's Friend, which always gives me a pretty good idea of what the going retail price is for musical gear. I found out that the amp I was eyeing (the Gallien-Krueger 800rb) was going for about $800. Armed with this knowledge, I headed over to eBay. After doing a quick search, I found the exact same amp, six months old, still with the original packaging for $500. While Musician's Friend offers free shipping on most orders over $49, you usually end up paying for shipping at eBay. Luckily, thanks to the 3% Cash Back I earned at eBay, I was able to pay the shipping with the cash back I earned.

What will you find at eBay?

Free Shipping Friday

Greetings all, I hope you're having a wonderful Fourth of July weekend already, and I know it must be a wonderful weekend if you love saving some money! For as excited as I get about fireworks (and I'm a man who loves his fireworks), I do get a little lightheaded at the number of emails I've seen from various merchants about holiday specials. You must have all gotten the same emails, so don't forget that with most of those deals, you can get cash back from Ebates! So here we go...

Friday, July 3rd
- Free Shipping on $40+ order at Current Catalog. Code 961NDD

Sunday, July 5th

I know it only seems like I'm including deals from early on in the week, but alas, with all the holiday weekend sales, things kind of taper off on the "standout coupon" front by the time Wednesday rolls around.

Free Shipping Friday

Hello again, here we are again. Sorry I missed you all last week, but I was out of the office most of the week taking care of things, so I kind of left you in the lurch for finding your own free shipping deals.

This week, I am posting as usual, however, I won't even begin to try to scrape the tip of the iceberg when it comes to sales. As you know, this weekend is Memorial Day Weekend, and Ebates has some merchants who are offering Increased Cash Back for our Memorial Day Sales. In addition to these merchants, it seems like almost every other merchant we work with is having some sort of sales or online coupons that will help you save even more, so I want you to go out there and see what kind of deals and online savings you can find. You know you can always get the latest Free Shipping Coupons by clicking on either Max Cash or the Free Shipping Truck, but this weekend don't just limit yourself to free shipping -- you have some of the biggest sales of the year this weekend, so get out there and start saving money!

Sexy New Deals from Sexy Stores!

So it's almost summer time, folks, and that means it's time to wear less clothes. While some of us (yours truly included) should never really wear less clothes, even I have to have a bathing suit for those rare days when I can go to the beach with anything less than a sweatshirt on. Considering that I haven't worn a swimsuit in the last five years, let alone bought one, I'm long overdue for some new board shorts or something, and it is my lucky day, because Ebates just kicked off a week of increased cash back on all Lingerie and Swimwear.

Being a single and unattached hetero male, the lingerie sale doesn't help me all that much, but I tell ya, I'm just giddy over the thought of saving money on some new swimwear. You ladies have your pick of six different merchants to find some new underthings, but it looks like Sears is my destination for what I need. So check out the Lingerie and Swimwear page where you can wear less while saving more!

Old Navy Coupons and Cash Back Savings

Folks, you know me. I love Old Navy. Chances are if you're reading this, you love Old Navy. I also love Old Navy coupons, and while they are rare, every now and again one comes down the pipeline.

In addition to flat seven dollar shipping from Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Piperlime, there are all sorts of deals to be found on clothing, accessories, underthings, swimwear, and more. Plus, if you have an Old Navy card, you'll be saving even more money with increased online rebates both from Ebates and from Old Navy.

So head over to the Ebates coupon page, see if there are any Old Navy coupons that you can take advantage of, and start saving more with coupons and 1% cash back!

Looking For eBay Coupons? Find Them Here!

As stated in my eBay obsessions blog, there's no limit to what one can find when browsing the world's largest market. Designer cashmere scarves? They got it. Vintage Flapper dresses? Done. Mesopotamian jewelry? Obviously. In fact, eBay is so extensive they even have coupons. Yes that's right, I said eBay coupons.

Try to contain yourself.

For those coupon junkies out there (guilty as charged) you may be wondering just how and where do coupons take center stage on eBay. As we all know, eBay works as an auction site, with the price of any item being set by the seller (called setting a reserve or buy-it-now feature) or by the highest bidder (yay-you won!). Because eBay does not own the millions of products auctioned off on its site, there are no sitewide coupons, but there are in fact eBay coupons. How? Well, there are two main ways to find coupons and other deals on eBay.

The first involves a seller reducing their item(s) or selling an item at lower than retail cost. Say I purchased a wine rack in a department store for $50, and have it listed at $25. As long as I can prove the original price, my item is 50% off. If you're interested in who's got what, and for how cheap, click on the green Deals button to see sellers with discounted items, or which sellers offer free shipping deals. The second way to use eBay coupons is to search them out. Type in coupons into the search feature, and over twenty thousand options appear ranging from cereal to Las Vegas buffets. With over thirty five coupon categories to choose from, there's ways to save on everything. Like everything purchased on eBay, when you shop through Ebates you'll receive 3% cash back. Add that to your coupon savings and watch the savings add up!

See all Ebates Online Stores and find even more ways to save!

Friendly Reminder: Gift Cards at Ebates!

Hey there dear readers, I have had a few comments and e-mails here and there about some purchases not tracking correctly due to gift card purchases. This is a common issue with Ebates users, so I figured I'd take a little time this evening to clear up exactly what is going on.

See, many of our merchants consider gift cards to be an exception to any type of discount. I can speak personally from my years of experience in retail when I say that many retail establishments don't even offer employee discounts on gift cards, since there is no type of markup or profit on the sale of them. Therefore, it is somewhat rare to find merchants who are willing to offer cash back or discounts on gift certificates.

But don't give up hope, gentle readers! You can still give yourself a little gift of cash back when you buy gift certificates for your friends, you just need to make sure they are in the list of pre-approved merchants who offer cash back savings on gift cards. So show someone you really care while earning a little cash back on the sly!

Did you know? #25: Take an Additional 20% off at Gap through Friday the 6th!

Greetings good readers, and do I have some exciting news for you this morning -- for seventy two hours Gap.com is running an Ebates-exclusive coupon offer: simply enter the coupon code EBATES20 at checkout, and you will receive an extra 20% off your order at Gap.com.

Before I continue, let me be perfectly clear on what this savings applies to. When you enter this coupon code, it will apply only to Men's, Women's, and Maternity. This means that you will not get 20% off GapKids or BabyGap. Naturally, that means you will also not receive any discounts outside of the regular everyday low prices on Old Navy, Banana Republic, or Piperlime. When we say Gap.com, we mean Gap.com.

Now that we've gotten those specifics out of the way, let's step back and think about what kinds of great deals you can get from Gap...

Exciting News: Staples increased Cash Back

Greetings folks, as the title blatantly gives away, there is a small change that can make a big difference to a number of our users: Staples, the office supplies super store, has just increased their cash back to 4%, which is double what it has been for the entire time I've been here at Ebates. So now is the perfect chance to stock up on a year's supply of office supplies and any other electronics needs you might have. I can say personally that I'm excited because I am in the market for a new desk chair, and now I not only get to take advantage of Staples' wide variety of chairs, but I also get twice as much cash back as I would have before.

So check it all out for yourself now. It's the perfect time to take advantage of post-holiday sales combined with increased cash back. That was easy!

Free Shipping Friday

Huge Savings on a Huge Drive!

In what's apparently a lapse of any and all sense whatsoever, Buy.com has just blown my mind with a massive 1TB Fantom hard drive for $89 after rebates - a historical price when it comes to external hard drives. To put it bluntly, this is the best deal on data storage that I have ever seen. Just imagine how many songs, movies, documents, and family pictures you could store on this thing for practically pennies per gigabyte. Yowza!

The Fantom G-Force hard drive might just be a humongous hard drive in a box to most, but when examined, it's tiny exterior yields a few surprises as well. For starters, it has a dual interface for both eSATA and USB 2.0 connectivity, which is a great bonus for those looking for increased stability and transfer speeds via eSATA. The drive inside also packs a 16MB cache in addition to its brisk 7200rpm rotational speed, meaning you'll be transferring files at nearly identical speeds to your internal drives if hooked up via eSATA. All for under $90!

I'm sure Buy.com is hoping to make a little bit of cash from suckers forgetting to fill out their $20 mail-in rebate, so be sure to get it all set ahead of time. Just navigate on over to the .PDF file beforehand and get it squared away before the drive even comes. That way you can just pop on the necessary UPC and documentation and get one of the best deals around. Just head on over to Buy.com and search for "1TB Fantom" and add it to you cart (it's currently out of stock, but should be back soon!). I know I will be, as this deal is just too good to pass up. Stay tuned for an update on the drive, and remember: this great price will only last through the 4th, so act fast!

Free Shipping Friday

As is always the case, dear readers, I can't believe it's already Friday. Furthermore, I can hardly believe that we are now a mere six days away from Christmas. We've been crying "Free Shipping" so much this week that it hardly seems like we need to do a specific Free Shipping Friday feature, but I am a man who believes firmly in tradition and consistency, so I am going to do a special installment focusing primarily (not entirely) on the latest and best in deals that will allow you to get your gifts in time to wrap them and have them under the tree when that long-awaited Thursday arrives.

Remember, before I start listing, that not all these deals will guarantee shipment by that ever-important gift giving holiday, but as all savvy shoppers know, you don't shake a stick at free shipping whenever you get the chance to take advantage of it.

Friday, December 19th

- avenue has a free upgrade to Express Shipping, so you don't pay any extra to get your purchases in a hurry.

Monday, December 22nd

- For anyone who loves a makeup, skincare, or fragrances as much as they love a great deal, you can get free second-day shipping and a free sample trio (which you can gift or keep for yourself) just by entereing the code 2NDSHIP at checkout when you shop at Prescriptives.

- Not to be outdone, if you place your Origins.com order by December 22, 3:00 PM, EST, and they will get it there by Christmas, use Offer Code Free2DayLS for Free 2nd Day Shipping

Today Only! Save A Ton on this Mouse

Your computer's mouse is often overlooked. I know mine is. In fact, the only time most of us even think about the mouse is when it isn't working properly.

However, today has changed the whole way I think about that silly little device that I spend half the day with my hand on. Today I found a killer deal at Buy.com on the Kensington 72282 SlimBlade Media Mouse. It's a one day only sale, so I will be brief. Basically, this is a sleek wireless mouse with a trackball in place of the roller wheel between the two buttons as well as a built-in media controller on the bottom of the mouse itself. This means it doubles both as a mouse and a remote control for your computer if you play a lot of music or movies on it. Plus, this mouse which usually retails for $59.99 is on sale today for $20.99 plus 1% Cash Back from Ebates. There is another additional discount listed on Buy.com's site for use with Paypal, but let me be perfectly clear on this:

If you make your payment through Paypal, we cannot gaurantee that you will get Ebates cash back for the purchase.

What makes it better is no matter how you decide to pay, you get it all shipped for free! So, act fast. I won't lie - I just bought one for myself. It's a great deal on a highly rated mouse that should last you for years to come!

Free Shipping Friday plus some Very Exciting News!

Hello again good readers. Today is a very special installment of Free Shipping Friday from Ebates.

I'm going to be completely straight with you here, folks; if you are shopping this weekend (up through Monday, really) there is absolutely NO reason to pay for shipping. It's true around this time every year, but no year more than this has this been the case. There are amazing sales all over the place, and I'd say with at least ninety five percent certainty that all of our top fifty merchants have some sort of free shipping deal. Some are site wide, some are if you buy some specific item, and some are for minimum purchases. Regardless of what it is, I will say this as plainly as I can: don't pay for shipping this weekend. From something as small as an iPod to something as big as a new HDTV or a sectional, you should be able to get it shipped at no extra charge.

The other exciting news for you as shoppers is that this coming Monday, the 15th, we will be celebrating Cyber Monday II: the Return of the Savings! Since Monday is the last day for most merchants to offer guaranteed standard shipping before Christmas, it is a day that a lot of us last-minute shoppers knock out that last online shopping. To lend us procrastinators a helping hand, Ebates is going to be doubling cash back on at least 100 merchants for one day only, so that you get a little extra money in your stocking (or your pocket, if you're not a big stocking fan).

So make sure you make your list and check it twice, because our savings will be on all products both naughty and nice.

Save big this weekend at J&R's Weekend Sale!

Ah, the first weekend of December. The cool, crisp wintry air, the fallen leaves, and the first real glimpse of the holiday season. It was exactly one week ago that we had the huge, crazy rush of Black Friday (along with its equally busy sibling, Cyber Monday), and it seems to me this weekend is going to be one of two things:

A continuation of last weekend's madness, as all the rational people who weren't crazy enough to get up at 4 a.m. for sales head out to the malls and shopping centers.
The final relatively mellow weekend before last-minute shoppers trample over one another for the last Elmo Live to be had before Christmas.

Either way, the beauty of Ebates is that you don't have to wade through the lines and play the guessing game of what's going to sell out first. With our (literally) virtual bevy of stores and items, you can always find a great sale almost any day of the week. This weekend, J & R is having a superb sale on all things electronics. Whether you're looking for a new, portable hard drive to take all your movies and music on the go, or picking up a travel mouse and a Wusthof 8418 8 Piece Knife Block Set, J & R surprisingly has it all on sale!

Poking around the five pages of deals, a few things jump out to me as a great deal. Firstly, the Buffalo Technology 300GB 2.5" hard drive. Just a few weeks back, I picked up a similar 320GB drive from another website for over $85, and I haven't seen anything come close since. This is simply a great deal on such a small, spacious drive, and is a perfect companion for anyone on the go. With it you can take all your movies and music with you, making updating your iPod, watch movies, and show off family pictures on the go easier than ever before. It's small enough to fit in any purse or briefcase, and at just $69.99, is a great deal considering the instant rebate, no tax, and free shipping.

Equally impressive is the Olympus Stylus 12-megapixel digital camera, on sale for $149 (down from $349.99). Many photographers have said that 12-megapixels is right about where there's almost no discernible difference between physical film and a digital pictures, meaning your pictures will come out just as good (if not better) than your old point-and-shoot ever did. Better yet, the Stylus 1200 includes Olympus's TruePic III Image Processor, found in many of their expensive top-of-the-line SLR cameras for a fraction of the price. It's a great holiday bargain for anyone looking for an upgrade/replacement for their camera, so give it a peek!

Whatever you're looking for, there's a ton of good stuff on sale over at J&R this weekend. Most importantly, with under 20 days left until Christmas, everything you order on sale should be able to make it to your house before the 25th with their Free Shipping! So act now, before prices go up and shipping gets more pricey as the shopping days dwindle down! Oh, and don't forget that with Ebates you'll get 3% cash back on all those great sale items!

Free Shipping Friday

So here we go again, dear readers. It is that time again, and this posting is not only the first Free Shipping Friday composed on the new platform, it is the first blog by yours truly written strictly on this new-format blog. But you're here for savings, not for me talking up the blog, so here we go:

Friday, November 21st
- Mikasa has free shipping on all orders $99 or more, this is a great chance to get all those beautiful home decorations and other accents for the holidays, and get them sent for nothing!

Saturday, November 22nd
- Not to be outdone, Macy's also has free shipping sitewide on orders $99 or more. If you're like most of us here at Ebates, you know how easy it is to find $100 worth of great stuff at Macy's, so why not get it shipped for free?

Sunday, November 23rd
- For all you health and beauty buffs, Sephora is offering free shipping on all orders over $25. I'm sure I don't have to remind you that they are part of our Holiday special promotion, and are currently offering 8% cash back, but I guess I just did.

Monday, November 24th
- I feel as if I've talked about this one a few times, before, but Fossil is giving you free overnight shipping on all orders. That's about as good of a free shipping deal as you can find, so it bears repeating.

- For you fashion friendly folks, YOOX is offering free standard shipping on all orders. Now you can get the top designers at lower prices sent to your door at no additional charge.

Wednesday, November 26th
- Continuing in the "keeping you beautiful" vein, Giorgio Armani Beauty has complimentary shipping on any order. Just enter code EBATES11 at checkout, and watch the savings roll in.

- Here's one just for the ladies, or at least I hope so: you can receive free shipping on any order of $100 or more at LaneBryant.com with code 006952785.

- It seems I just can't get away from health & beauty this week: Shu Uemura is also offering free shipping on any order.

Friday, November 28th
- I just had to include one that was a little more friendly to the fellas, so you should know that EastBay - one of the best sporting goods websites out there, has free shipping on all orders of $75 or more.

I will give you folks a word of advice, and it's so important I'm making it bold: As you all know, next Friday is "Black Friday" and not only will I not be in the office, but every store under the sun (and some under the moon) will be having amazing sales. I suspect almost all of the stores with sales will have some manner of free shipping deal, so check in at Ebates and with the individual merchants to see if there are free shipping opportunities where you are shopping.

Another Installment of Free Shipping Friday

Greetings again dear users, and welcome to yet another installment of Free Shipping Friday. As always, if you wish to bypass my witticisms about each store and would rather consult the list, just click on our pal Max Cash or the Free Shipping Delivery Truck. But, for those of you who appreciate a little extra Bill in your day, I personally thank you and say "Let us get on with the savings!"

Saturday, November 15th
- Bealls has free shipping on any order amount if you use the code FREESHIP. Restrictions apply, though if free shipping comes on any order amount, I can't imagine what the restrictions could be.

- In our earth-friendly culture, Gaiam recommends that we save gas by shopping online, and they will reward that favor to mother earth by getting free shipping on any and all orders over $45 with code AFGAS. Unfortunately, mother earth doesn't extend her love to oversized items. You still have to pay full shipping on those.

- The HBO Store is offering free shipping on all orders over $60. So, if you want to make sure you order the Sopranos Box set before it goes out of stock, and get it shipped for free, do it before the end of the day on Saturday, or else you will be out of luck!

Sunday, November 16th
- If you love your body, treat it to something nice. We suggest going to Kiehl's, where they will ship any and all of your purchases for free, provided those purchases total more than $45. Just use coupon code KHLSDAY08 and give your skin a big hug for me. If I gave it a big hug myself, I might have a lawsuit on my hands.

Monday, November 17th
- As the weekend ends, so does the chance to earn free shipping on all orders over $25 from L'OCCITANE. They're natural, they're organic, they're shipped free. After the 16th, only two of those statements will still be true.

- For the vinophile that you know and love, The Wine Enthusiast is offering free shipping on their line of EuroCave Wine Refrigerators. If you're going to spend money on a great product like this, and give yourself the gift of the ability to store up to five hundred bottles of wine at cellar temperature, then you'd damn well be getting it shipped for free. Or shipped for free to me, as a gift. Thanks in advance.

Tuesday, November 18th
- Drugstore.com has free shipping on all non-prescription orders over $25. They also have increased cash back for the holidays, so you'll be saving money left and right.

And, one more early heads-up... through Monday the 24th, you can get free overnight shipping on all orders at FOSSIL. I love pretty much everything they sell there, and I love free overnight shipping almost as much. It's a win-win! Everything is coming up Bill.

- JCPenney has free shipping on most orders over $69. You have to check out the site for restrictions. Still, since they have so many retail locations, you can return items in person for free too!

Tuesday, November 11th
- Sephora has got free shipping on all orders over $50 with code SHIPPING50. They are part of our Holiday Deals event, so you can get free shipping plus 8% cash back. Don't forget about all the great deals on free gifts they have too!

Wednesday, November 12th
- Blair is offering free shipping on all orders with no restrictions or price limits

Thursday, November 13th
- Jos. A. Bank is offering free shipping on all orders over $175, and with their high-end, high fashion products, it isn't hard to reach that total, so take advantage of the savings!

Free Shipping Friday

Oh so good to see you all again. Another Friday is upon us, and while all the water cooler chatter is about last night's debate, all the Ebates blog chatter is about helping you folks save with Free Shipping on some of your favorite stores this week. Luckily, we're early enough in the month that I can easily pick out and write up a handful of the best free shipping deals for this week, but you can always click on Max Cash or the Free Shipping van to go to the complete list. So, with no further ado, let's get down to the deals...

Friday, October 3rd
- Eastbay has free shipping on all orders over $99 - use code LKS18P99, so you can buy your favorite baseball gear just in time for the playoffs, or get some football gear to help inspire your team to make a turnaround at this early point in the season.

Saturday, October 4th
- Best Buy is shipping all the new iPod Nanos for free. I have to admit, despite my general aversion to the shrinking of all things electronic, these new Nanos are pretty darn cool. Now you can get it from a store you know and love, and get it shipped for nothing.

- Before compiling this list, I will admit, I'd never heard of Boscov's, but after looking around their site, and seeing that they have the good taste to offer free shipping on orders over $50, I have to admit, I'm pretty impressed. They've also got a great selection of "As Seen on TV" products, which I have a secret love for.

- The Great Indoors is footing the bill for shipping if you buy a rug. They are a great destination for anything and everything needed to spruce up the ol' home front, and through the end of the day on Saturday, they'll ship a rug for free!

- For you project lovers, or for those of you who just love a good deal on electronics, Radio Shack has free shipping on all orders over $25.

- Just in time for Halloween decorating, the Oriental Trading Company is offering free shipping on all orders over $60 if you use the code RLS100. Stock up, save, and make your house the envy of the neighborhood while you're at it!

Sunday, October 5th
- Jos. A. Bank, one of the biggest names in men's fashion, is offering free shipping with no minimums through the end of this weekend. It's the perfect time to check out their Fall line and save some money on the shipping.

- Continuing in the trend of high-end fashion and free shipping, Saks Fifth Avenue is also offering free shipping through the end of the weekend on all orders $200 and up. I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again after this, but you and I both know how easy it is to spend $200 at Saks, why not put that to use with free shipping?

Tuesday, October 7th
- Kohl's has free shipping on all orders over $75. This is a great chance to take a risk on a product you might otherwise pass over; with free shipping, and so many convenient locations, you won't lose a dime on shipping charges if you change your mind.

Friday October 10th
- For the ladies (or the men, if that's your kind of thing) American Eagle Outfitters will ship any and all of your bra purchases for free, with free returns as well.

- Draper's and Damon's, a trusted spot to go for women's clothing in all sizes and styles, has free shipping with code P1947. Just enter those five characters at checkout, and any and all of your shipping costs will magically disappear!

Free Shipping Friday

Welcome to yet another installment of Free Shipping Friday here at the Ebates blog. When I sat down earlier this morning to start this blog, I did it as I always do: I went to our coupon page and pulled up the list of Free Shipping coupons that were about to expire. Then I remembered: September ends this week.

While the simple flipping of a page on my calendar isn't that big of a deal, what it means is that there are a TON of coupons that are about to expire. So I did a little research, and here are the results: there are exactly 84 free shipping coupons that expire on September 30th. Let me spell that out again, just for good measure: eighty four coupons. In other words, if you want it shipped for free, there are more options than most of us could dream of. Looking over the course of the upcoming week, there are ninety-six free shipping coupons before I come back to write this blog again.

So, with the realization that it would take me the rest of the day to write up all these great free shipping deals, and even the task of whittling that epic list down to a more manageable number would be too daunting, I'm going to let you set out on your own.

All you have to do is click this link, and you will to go my list, pre-sorted, of coupons that are about to expire that offer free shipping.

It's really that simple. Check it out for yourself; you never know what you might find.

Monday, September 22nd
- Your favorite and mine, Bloomingdale's, is offering free shipping again. Just spend $200 and they'll see to it that you get your product without paying for the transit.

Wednesday, September 24th
- Delia's is offering free shipping again. This isn't uncommon. However, what is uncommon is that they are offering free shipping on all products with no minimums.

Exciting News from Ebates!

So I got an interesting little piece of information the other day from Jen, our Online Traffic Coordinator, about some recent additions to our merchant list. The information didn't have so much to do with any specific merchants who have joined the Ebates family recently. Rather, my excitement stems from the sheer volume of merchants that we now have to offer you wonderful people.

"But Bill," you say, "Ebates already promotes the fact that you have over nine hundred merchants. What more could you be excited about?"

Simple, gentle reader. As of this past week, Ebates has now bumped our number of total merchants offering you the best in the world of online rebates to one thousand! That's right... let it soak in a moment... you can now save money on nearly every facet of shopping from food to clothing to technology to toys to (of course) whimsical garden gnomes.

So what kind of shopping blog would this be if I didn't find a great deal to help you celebrate? If you're at all like me you know one time-tested way of celebrating any great achievement (like adding the thousandth merchant to your website) and that is to crack open a nice chilled bottle of champagne. And ohhhh readers, do I have a wonderful deal on a great bottle for you today. As you know, if your champagne isn't from France, it isn't really champagne, it's just a sparkling white wine. Well, ladies and gents, this is an honest-to-goodness bona fide French champagne, and it doesn't cost much more than a good quality bottle of regional wine.

From LeClerc, I present to you the Briant La Croisette; a single-vineyard champagne made exclusively of chardonnay grapes, and produced in a batch of only 3,500 bottles. While it is still available, you can get a bottle of this fine champagne from The Wine Messenger for just $44, and if you find smaller purchases to get your order total up to $50, you can get 5% off with code EbateSummer508 through August 31st. That's a deal so good I can almost taste it!

Mike's Best Deal Ever

Hey! What's YOUR Best Deal Ever? Keep sending 'em in!!

I'd like to tell you about Mike and his Best Deal Ever on Ebates. Mike is a videographer in San Francisco who produces hundreds of DVD's on any given week. Not one to slack on presentation, he prints a custom label on each DVD.

Living in the Bay Area, Mike spends most of his income on exorbitant rent and parking fees. He needs the best deals he can find on things like cat food, lens cleaner and, of course, ink!

When I told him about Ebates, he scoffed and said, "I already get the lowest prices at Inkgrabber. I don't care about this Ebay- I mean Rebates- I mean..."

"Listen, Mike," I butted in. "You don't understand. I know you're getting an ok deal on your ink already, but you should really look at Ebates. You get Cash Back!" Mike, unconvinced, returned to his editing (syncing "YMCA" to overserved, arrhythmic groomsmen isn't easy).

A few days later, I noticed a pile of fourteen new ink cartridges in Mike's studio. "Where did you get these?" I asked.

"Actually," Mike explained, "I got them on Ebates!" Intrigued, I listened as Mike went on to explain his Best Deal Ever:

First, Mike went to Inkgrabber for a Combo Pack of his regular ink (a generic type that's good for fliers and DVD printing). At Inkgrabber, he normally paid $6.42 per cartridge for a pack of 7.
Then, he went to 4inkjets.com through Ebates, and found the same ink for $5.71 per cartridge for a pack of 14.
Next, Mike visited the Coupons and Specials page on Ebates and found a 10% off coupon for 4inkjets.com! This brings down his cost to $5.14 per cartridge.
On top of the already lower price PLUS the 10% off coupon, Ebates gave Mike 17% Cash Back at 4inkjets.com! That brought his cost per cartridge down to $4.27!
Oh, and to top it all off, he got Free Shipping!

Let's review: Mike used to pay $6.42 for each cartridge, but through Ebates he pays $4.27! He got a total of $12.24 Cash Back just for buying his regular ink! Suffice it to say, Mike is now a loyal Ebates shopper and can buy ink, live in the Bay Area and still afford to feed his cat.

Special tip from Mike: "Generic ink can save you a ton of money and is perfect for most printing needs, like flyers, letters and even photos. If you require precise color accuracy in your prints, stick with name-brand inks. If you can handle a little variation in color (most people would only notice the difference from a side-by-side comparison of prints), then save with generics!"
