Ebates and other online cash back portals are my secret weapon during the holidays. I cannot understand for any reason people do not use them to earn cash back when buying gifts or buying anything such as travel. Using coupons online is a must for saving money, but why not earn cash back on top of coupons, and promo codes? Programs such as Ebates actually pay you for cash back and they are giving you an extra $10 incentive now for signing up and clicking through their links which only takes a few extra minutes.
Everyone spends money around the holidays so you want to maximize all of the means of cash back and rewards possible using certain credit cards but first doing this with an online shopping mall such as Ebates to stack up the cash back. One truly great thing is that Cash back for purchases is unlimited with these programs. You can get paid for clothing, shoes, airline tickets, hotels, furniture, food, flowers and gifts, and anything you find that you can click on in their portal!
Here is how you sign up for Ebates to get the $10 Gift Card and Start Earning Cash Back-
Steps to get the Ebates Bonus:
1. Join Ebates Here (It’s Free and never any fees)

Sometimes nothing really makes sense. We have have our entire lives tried to throw out heavy change when we have it in our pockets being one of the main reasons we have switched to credit cards. Now there is a battle brewing over who has the heaviest credit card. Pretty soon if they get any heavier you will need a trainer to carry around the weights. These cards are definitely cool to look at but I am not so sure I want to carry too many of these around in my wallet just to show off. I would much rather use Apple Pay and get the transaction over with. Heavy seems to be the new Black with some card owners who love to show off their credit card fashion before it all goes digital.
Plastic credit cards normally weigh around 5g while the heaviest of luxury cards starts out at 28g. Some of these are made with plastic and some of metal.
#1: Chase Ritz Carlton weighs 28g with a heavy annual fee of $450. You at least get some elite benefits and possible free hotel nights to keep your heavy card inside.
