Ebates membership

Good Afternoon,

I'm writing because I am having an issue with my membership. I have been using Ebates (now Rakuten) since 2016 and I only used one account: [protected]@gmail.com. I have chosen to use Ebates over other websites such as befrugal.com, etc. because of their good and reliable reputation. A long time ago, I had an issue with fraudulent accounts being setup under my name and with my personal account information being used. However, this seemed to have gotten straightened out and I haven't had any issues since. I have been shopping the past three years under one account only ([protected]@gmail.com) and have not had any problems with fraudulent activity. However, now my account has been made inactive because other accounts were setup in the past. I have explained this was not an error on my part and that I have only been using this account since 2016 and that if there is something going on with another account or something that I am unaware of, that I need to know about it because this was never authorized or given permission for. I feel I am being punished for something that I did not do and something I didn't authorize or give permission for. Per my account, it can be seen that I only go through one account to make my purchases. I have been a consistent customer and chose to use Ebates for my shopping needs. I am requesting that my account be reinstated as I have made several purchases in the past few months and have earned cash back. I would greatly appreciate your help with this and I hope you have a blessed day!

Ebates ebates

When I buy less expensive items, there never are any issues.

When I buy something expensive and it's 10x the points, it's always a fight to get my money. It seems from my searches online that when it comes to computers and computer equipment/peripherals, they seem to pay the least.

They always blame it on the company that you bought from but I recently had a company tell me that they were tired of their BS and that they had authorized the transaction. I ended up getting my money from Ebates after fighting with them for two months.

I have decided to use them for smaller Amazon purchases since they always seem to pay for these trips, but I will use another service for more expensive items. It's happened to me several times and when you do some research, HP and Dell when they are 10x the points are filled with complaints. Most of these people get told what I was told: ''It's the company's fault. Ebates wants to pay you''. Dell gave me a refund for the money that I was supposed to get from you, so I doubt that they weren't willing to pay from their end!

It's a shame that Ebates has gone downhill since being bought out by Rakuten.

Is Ebates legit?

Our verdict: Complaints Board's thorough examination reveals Ebates as a legitimate entity with notable strengths. Despite a 20% resolution rate on customer complaints, which invites a closer look, Ebates stands out for its commitment to quality and security. Clients considering Ebates should delve into its customer service record to gauge compatibility with their expectations.

Ebates earns 94% level of Trustworthiness

Perfect Trust Endorsement: Ebates achives 94% ligitmacy per Complaints Board. Highly recommended, yet always stay vigilant.

We found clear and detailed contact information for Ebates. The company provides a physical address, phone number, and 2 emails, as well as 3 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

The age of Ebates's domain suggests that they have had sufficient time to establish a reputation as a reliable source of information and services. This can provide reassurance to potential customers seeking quality products or services.

Ebates.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Ebates.com has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.

Several positive reviews for Ebates have been found on various review sites. While this may be a good sign, it is important to approach these reviews with caution and consider the possibility of fake or biased reviews.

We looked up Ebates and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • Despite a high level of trust, our investigation found issues with Ebates's service, including poor customer service, lack of accountability, and responsibility to resolve complaints. Customers may face long wait times for responses, receive generic or unhelpful answers or no response at all. Only 20% of 0 complaints were resolved.
  • There was some difficulty in evaluating or examining the information or data present on the ebates.com. This could be due to technical issues, limited access, or website may be temporarily down for maintenance or experiencing technical difficulties.
  • Ebates protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.

Ebates your tv ad

The grammar in your TV ad is atrocious! Certainly you know that "...where you shop AT" is not english. Only people on the lowest social class rung use such grammar. Many potential customers cringe when they hear "at" in your ads and discount your message. Please remember...most people won't bother to contact you. Most people will simply cringe & ignore your ad.

Ebates cash back

I ordered an hp computer through the ebates website on Black Friday since they were offering 11% cash back. There were no pop ups and all instructions were followed. I have never had an issue with ebates before this purchase. They are telling me that they will not honor the cash back after I spent so much money. I don't understand what is going on but the rep that contacted me via email said she cannot do anything and I am not happy at all.

Ebates cash back

I ordered an hp computer through the ebates website. For Black Friday/ Cyber Monday they were offering a 10% Cash back promo. I followed all the proper instructions, ordering from ebates link, not having pop up blockers or using other promo codes. The laptop was very expensive and only ordered because of ebates advertising 10% cash back the next day. Of course the next day came and Ebates did not give me the money. I contacted them and sent them my invoice and on their website it has my shopping trip code #. Even with all this they are claiming that they will not give me the money. This is fraudulent advertising and bait and switch. They receive the kickbacks for me using their website but refuse to honor the cashback. Absolutely horrendous company-stay away!

Ebates poulan pro 46 in. 2-bin soft-sided bagger/collector

I went online to look for this Lawn Tractor Bagging System at Home Depot. Home Depot wants $249.28 as of 11/3/2018 for it. Being I am a Ebates member a window opens up on my PC Screen from Ebates showing that if I buy it from Walmart I can save $19.59 and buy it for $229.69 so I proceed to buy it from Walmart problem is that when I click on that window it brings me over to Walmart where it says Walmart is charging $242.02. No matter what I do $242.02 is the Walmart price. Ebates is wrong with this one so I did not buy the product. Wish there was a direct number to call Ebates to let them know about this when something like this happens. I would like to buy the item at $229.69 as Ebates shows.

Ebates blocked account and ebates kept the money! dishonest!

Ebates allows multiple accounts in one household, so we have 3 accounts in one household, recently, after each account have earned over $300 cash back, Ebates blocked all accounts, after email customer service and called them, after two weeks, they send one email to tell us the accounts are terminated! This is steal money from consumers after lure them sign up, then block accounts as they find any excuses. Stay away from Ebates!

Ebates ebates member services

My brother and i had two Ebates accounts and we used obviously same address and PayPal accounts for payment. They just deactivated both our account without any reason and didn't give us our cash back for our purchases and the money we already had in our cash back account . We tried to contact them but they didn't reply back to our emails. Then recently i made a new account with my different email and made a purchase but they didn't give me the cash back and welcome bonus and when I contacted them they were rude to me and replied back to my email in a very unprofessional way. Some person named LAURA wrote " my account was associated with the member's account they previously deactivated. EBATES ended it's relationship with me not just with my email addresses. And my future accounts will be deactivated too so I should find another cash back site"! It's not like i did something illegal or did anything offensive then why do they have problem with me not just with my emails? It's so rude of them and very unprofessional behavior! They should've just said the reason nicely and deactivated my account in a professional way! Very disappointed!

Ebates cash back

I made a purchase at Walmart, a purchase at Amazon and a purchase at Bath & Bodyworks and I went through my ebates app to get my cashback. The only one that shows me getting cash back is Walmart and I think that is not fair. These purchases went through and were paid for. What is the purpose of going through ebates if it is only going to give you cash back whenever it feels like it. There were cashback offers on these three stores and they are still available to date.

Ebates ebates misleading advertising & fulfilling their obligation, website malfunctions not seamless very bad customer service

The below s just 1 message of at least …
The below s just 1 message of at least a dozen! customer service must be from a third world country! email replies are extremely delayed, they ask you to screenshot, jpeg, etc.. your purchase for proof but sadly they do not know there own system due the fact it does not allow you to enter any of those things! they don't rectify your issues even after sending them proof excessively! no working with 1 person to resolve there issue! a purchase is suppose to be seamless but their website does not work well! even doesn't allow you to input specific information so they block you from sending them proof of purchase which customer/consumers shouldn't occur!. hello, I would like a special supervisor to correct this issue & look into the last rep. below!

* ebates customer service if you refer it it in that fashion! I made an entire purchase for $39.99,.35 cents in tax
The credit applied to the purchase was my credit just as my credit card! — absolutely nowhere in any form does ebates list any such restrictions what so ever! — you folks never even accounted for my 1st purchase of $16.03 with groupon! pure insanity, & you folks are running a ploy & obviously operate without any telephone customer service & are not accountable for anything! — instead of holding on to people who sign on with ebates, obviously rather pull this then have potential long standing customers you rather hassle them with crazy nonsense obsticles & are not honest with ebates advertising & what it portrays to people!

Ebates No cash back awarded

I have been a customer of Ebates from September, 2011. I have a numerous issues with my cash backs. Everytime the cash back is more than a $1 or $2, I can not get it back for different reasons. There is latest scam that I going through.
I have made a purchase "In the swim" store in the amount of $1065.30. The Ebates promiced 6% cash back on this purchase. Month later I still can not get back the money. That is what Ebates replied to me:
"Thank you for your patience while we looked into this matter for you. Unfortunately, it has been determined by In The Swim that this order was placed in a manner which gave the credit for the sale to another affiliate of theirs. As a result, Ebates has earned no commission for this sale and Cash Back cannot be awarded."
However, I have all of the evidences that my order was placed correctly and directly on the "In the swim" website, not of their affiliates. I have a tracking ticket from the Ebates, I have a receipt from the In the Swim store, but NO MONEY BACK>

Please feel free to respond to any email that you have from us if anything remains unresolved. We are sorry for any delay that you experienced while we were working on this.

Ebates No customer service and lost my ebate

I been using ebates for a year now. I don't do a lot of online shopping so I never really got a rebate back. This Christmas season I decided to use ebates to maximize my cash back. I order over 110 dollars worth of perfume from perfumania threw the ebates site and got back 10.XX in my ebates account as cash back. When I recieved my order one of the bottles was cracked. Just so happened to be a cheap clearance perfume so I called perfumania who was very helpful and just gave me a ten dollar refund. After about a few days I recieved email from ebates informing me I lost my total cash back on my whole purchase . I would of excepted to loss part of it cause I was refunding 10 dollars a out of my over hundred dollar purchase but to lose the whole cash back was wrong. I contacted ebates immediately and recieved a email right away that someone who contact me in 2-3 days with a answer . Well guess what a week later and nothing I emailed again and still nothing this is not good customer service. before I would recommend ebates to all my friends but now no. Because if something goes wrong with your order and u need to return something u will lose ur entire cash back No matter how big ur order is .Which is pretty much making u decide to keep a broken product or lose ur rebate . Do not use ebates and if u do don't Judge ur total discount with the cash back in it because you might not get it back .

Ebates - PUTTING ON ALL PLATFORMS, SOCIAL MEDIA SITES WARNING CONSUMERS AND REPORTING TO THE BBB

Gave referrals to friends and family, they refuse to provide compensation for it. I referred multiple members of my family and friend and they never gave bonuses. Nor was given my own bonus for multiple purchases. And I agree...How is it policy abuse if each person makes their own account and purchases. Never once received cash back for my purchases. It says pending for weeks then one day just disappears. Not a legit company they are bogus. Waste of time. Do not have a way to chat ever, it ALWAYS is unavailable. If you send a message you don't get a response. Don't waste your time. They're BOGUS AND SCAM

This was a clear case of abuse of our referral program. We have proof of this, and we have explained the matter to Anne. Ebates.com is a member in good standing with the BBB, having an A+ rating. We also have over 150, 000 fans on Facebook. Ebates.com has been paying members for their online shopping for over 12 years. We frequently monitor our referral program for abuse of this type. We will continue to discuss the matter with Anne if she wishes to do so.

Ebates changed offer no reply

I bought an item from Dyson thru the Ebates web site. It said free shipping. Dyson charged me shipping but I assumed Ebates would make it right. Wrong. 4 emails later and nothing. They have changed the offer on Ebates, too. Don't assume Ebates customer service will honor the coupons/offers they present on their web site.

I have been a member of ebates.com since 2007. I have always received a check after every quarter, which is every 3 months. I was supposed to receive a check Febuary 15, 2009 and when that did'nt happen, I e-mailed them several times to find out why. I have never received a reply. I would just like to know what is going on? The check that I am waiting for is for the amount of, $71.55 . I can't believe that no one is returning my e-mails.

Ebates Wasn't Paid rebate

It took me over a year of making purchases online before I "qualified" to receive money from Ebates. My total I am supposed to be paid is a little over $28. I was supposed to be paid on Feb. 15th according to their guidelines. Feb. 15th came and went and I received no payment. I sent a couple of emails to their Customer Service, after about 5 days I got an email saying I would be paid soon. Then today I check my account on Ebates and it says I was paid by Paypal on the 19th, but I never received payment from them. This is a very dishonest company, do not use them, instead use MSN live search which I've had no problems receiving money from making online purchases.

Ebates Undelivered rebate

Back in February of last year I received email from Ebates promoting sale event at Circuit City and promising a rebate in the amount of $10 for a purchase there. I did make an online purchase in the amount of $40.65 and so rightfully was expecting Ebates to honor its promise (and obligation). However, it did nothing of a kind and 3 my emails to it were not even replied.

They were suppose to send out a check in February 2013 for that amount, never received a replacement check! Now it is June, 2013 and still no check or communication to me from the company. They are liars and promise rebate checks to consumers that order items through their site.

I went directly to ebates website and did everything I needed to do. I was suppose to get a amount from snapfish and even used ebates discount code for free shipping. I have complained several times and I get the same pre-formated response that I used an invalid code but the code came directly from ebates website. I have even asked different questions and their reply is the exact same pre-formated response from someone named Thomas. One complaint was sent to "Where is my refund" and the other I sent to "other questions" and both came back with the same pre-formated response both from Thomas. I think this is their standard answer when they don't want to uphold their part of the deal. Does someone know a number I can call to complain? I will probably use Mr. Rebates from now on.

I have never had a problem with Ebates. I have been getting Ebates since about the year 1999 and have always received my checks. I think you had a scam email and will never see the money. I also think if you gave them your Paypal account info then for sure it was not Ebates, I believe they only mail out checks. I could be wrong for that matter but I don't agree with the "SCAM" claim. I have been dealing with them for too long. As a matter of fact I just went into Ebates the other day and searched Home Depot and Sears, both of which I made no purchase but received an email on each search telling me not to forget that I have a pending rebate if I make a purchase on those websites. Ebates always takes care of me.

Are you sure the email was legitimately from ebates.com? I've never had a problem with this site. Hmmm... And, did you go "through" the ebates.com site to make the purchase? If you only clicked from the "email" perhaps it wasn't a legitimate email from them. ?

I have been a member of e-bates for years and always get my checks. a couple of times a rebate wasn't credited and when I called they investigated and the rebate was issued. I have never had any problems dealing with this company
