Save money through Ebates and Fatwallet
Fatwallet (http://www.fatwallet.com) :
For the past year, I have been scouring Fatwallet for deals prior to making any online purchases. Fatwallet has user forums where members p
ost information with coupon and promotional codes that you can use at various online retailers. Users also give advice on various financial and consumer matters from using airline miles, credit card offers and the best online money market accounts.
Some retailers partner with Fatwallet by offering promotions like 1-3% cash back by starting your purchase at Fatwallet. So for example, whenever I purchase items at buy.com, I close the browser, re-open it, sign into Fatwallet, search for buy.com and click on the link that brings me to buy.com. The purchase is tracked and the appropriate rebate is posted to my Fatwallet account and after a few months it is available as a check that Fatwallet sends out.
Ebates (http://www.ebates.com):
Similar to Fatwallet, Ebates offers more sponsored discounts from retailers like J&R and Home Depot. The site seems more official than FatWallet and has less user forum activity.
However, it does have more retailers and I have been using more often lately. For example we bought a freezer from Home Depot this past weekend and instead of going in-store and hunting down a orange apron staffer, I ordered it online and saved myself an extra $15 or 3%. By starting your shopping at Ebates you can save hundreds of dollars a year at retailers you shop at regularly like Staples, Expedia and Apple.
