DotRebates.com Review

Please click here to visit the site; membership is not required and the service is free to use.

Earn For: Shopping, signups, referrals
Limit One Account Per: Individual 18+.

Notes:
1. Unique in that you are not required to register for an account in order to receive a rebate -- just shop through the site's links to your desired merchant, then come back to the site and click File Rebates. Provide the details of your shopping transaction (the date, merchant name, and order total). At the bottom of the File Rebates page, in the field that says, "Have a Promotional ID Code? Enter it here:", if you enter the code Comparerewards.com you will get an additional 10% rebate. Every time...it does NOT expire!
2. The program says they aim to pay members for their shopping transactions within a week, rather than holding your rebates in a pending period for 30 days or more like some other programs.
3. They're offering a bonus, extended through March 31, to double your cash back up to $20. This bonus will be held for a brief pending period (15 to 25 days) and is limited to one per IP address. More info is here.

My Take:
Interesting. Different. Their shopping rates are on the average to low side, but when you consider that some rewards programs make you wait weeks, even months, for payment...it may be a trade-off you're willing to make. And with the $20 promotional bonus through the end of March, it may be worth trying out. The site's a little skimpy on merchants right now but they're adding new ones weekly. Remember to enter the promotional ID code Comparerewards.com when filing your rebate in order to receive an extra 10%. Please post a comment about your experience when you use DotRebates; thanks!
