Ebates.com Says Members Surpassed $1 Billion in Spending Through The Site

Ebates announced in a press release yesterday that since the company's inception, its members have spent over $1 billion (yes, that's billion with a "B") through the rewards program's website!

The company's CEO, Kevin Johnson, says that Ebates' sales are way up, 50% over last year, and that they're expecting a record holiday shopping season. It seems counter-intuitive that you'd see a segment of the market doing BETTER than expected right now, but I think higher gas prices pushed people into shopping online more this year, and that people are realizing that with a tighter budget they need to break down and take advantage of the great online deals (with comparison shopping, coupon codes, and cash back) that have been here all along.

I was happy to see that a testimonial I submitted about Ebates was quoted in the press release. They have a great program with a unique set of features, excellent cashback rates, tons of participating stores, and a dedication to customer service. With around ten years of experience, and $1 billion-with-a-"B" in member purchases through the site, while maintaining a positive rating with the BBB...you can see why I feel very comfortable in recommending them to others.
