Update 2/29/24: Bonus has been reduced to $40 from $45.
Update 2/5/24: Keep in mind some merchants state ‘When determining if signup or referral bonuses meet activation rules, Cash Back from orders with the merchant isn’t counted’ these will not count towards the $10 you need to trigger the $45 bonus.

The Offer
Direct link to offer (my referral link)
- Shopping portal Rebatesme is offering a bonus of $45 when you sign up for a new account using our link and accumulate a minimum of $10 in cash back earnings via online purchases through RebatesMe within 90 days
Our Verdict
Previous high was $50 but that was last offered in 2022. $45 is a great bonus and after you earn $10 that will be enough to cash out as well. One thing I like about Rebatesme is that they  paid out on the Motley Fool promotion, where other portals did not. You also get increased cash back on your first order. Personally think this is an easy bonus worth doing. Please do not share your referrals in the comments below as other links aren’t for $45 currently.
I’ve successfully received the $45 signup bonus for this account.
How it works is once you receive $10 worth of pending cashback offers, the signup bonus will activate and be pending. Once the $10 of cashback settles on your account and becomes payable, the signup bonus will be payable as well. You do not need to have the $10 of cashback completely payable on your account before 90 days, it just needs to be pending.
Rebates me website is not loading for me but just saying “502 Bad Gateway” on two different devices and in incognito mode. Is it the same for anyone else?
working here
Me too now
1/27 Signed up with the $45 referral
3/12 Made a $45 purchase through Student Beans @ 40% CB, didn’t track
3/20 Submitted missing CB inquiry through the website, crickets
4/27 Sign up bonus expired
5/20 Emailed support after 60 days regarding CB inquiry and expired bonus
5/21 Support credited both $18 CB and a new $45 sign up bonus
I waited the maximum amount of time quoted in the initial email response to my missing CB inquiry before reaching out to support. Email support was very friendly and helpful. All in all slow to resolve, but relatively painless.
DOC should stop posting this scam from RebatesMe. Even if you made required purchases in first 90 days those purchase will go to pending status and will post after new account bonus deadline. There is no way anybody can earn new account bonus
$45 signup bonus was manually added after I compained over email. Before my email bonus status was “expired” despite earning over $10 in cash back (that is still pending since Feb)
My $45 signup bonus expired too, despite having over $10.xx in cash back within 90 days also pending since Feb. I reached out over email and I’m waiting for a response. Will update, hopefully I’ll get the same result as you!
They told me “You’ve qualified for the bonus. Once your eBay cash back is available on 7/31/24 I can fix the sign up bonus for you.” did you get this same result?
These fucking scammers won’t pay me out my referral bonus because my merchant didn’t confirm the cashback until a few days AFTER the deadline WHICH ISN’T MY FUCKING FAULT! They also said it was one of their “excluded” merchants for referral cashback earnings and then linked me to these help article https://rebatesme.zohodesk.com/portal/en/kb/articles/orders-from-which-merchants-do-not-qualify-for-the-activation-of-sign-up-and-referral-bonuses
Obviously, EXTREMELY shady as there is NO UPFRONT DISCLOSURE!
I’d avoid this site at all costs and cease promotion of it on DOC.
They had a promotion with Webmoney: make a transfer, get $30 cashback. The transaction was made on 01/28/24 and is still pending. Rebatesme never credited this cashback and today canceled the sign up bonus. Sneaky guys.
Not Webmoney but WesternUnion, sorry 🙂
I got an $80 off for PrivateVPN.. anyone know if just getting the 1 month subscription would trigger it? i don’t see any language against it.. but RebatesMe seems like a scam site.. and none of my pending purchases from January have posted.. ugh
All of my cashbacks are still “Pending”. Even the first one from Jan. 28
same here.. this site is lame
Their terms are crazy confusing. They say:
Your cash back will automatically be moved from pending to payable 90 days from the purchase date to allow time for the merchant’s return/exchange period to expire. If you don’t earn a minimum of $10 in cash back within 90 days of your join date, the Sign Up Bonus will be nullified
How am I going to earn a minimum of $10 if the purchases are still pending?
Tomorrow is day #90 for my first purchase.
Let’s see what happens.
This company is fraudulent, in my opinion. Don’t share your personal information or waste your time with them.
I signed up for their promo last month, made two large purchases that tracked, but no record of the purchases ever showed up. I’ve asked them to close my account and purge their computers of all records of me.
Anyone know how to cancel? It says you can cancel via the customer interface but I’m not sure where that is or how to access it
