[Expired] [Targeted] Ebates: Double Cashback In Store & Get $20 Bonus When You Spend $100+

Deal has expired, see more Ebates deals by clicking here.

The Offer

$20 bonus is targeted, sent out via e-mail with the subject line ‘This holiday weekend! $20 Bonus + 2X In-Store Cash Back’

  • Ebates is offering a $20 cash bonus when you spend $100+ with one of the in-store merchants they offer. In addition they are also offering 2x cash back on in-store offers.

The Fine Print

  • Bonus earned on qualifying orders totaling a minimum of $100 and must be eligible to receive Cash Back. Cash Bonus offer is valid for orders made between 12:00:00 AM PT on January 18, 2019 and 11:59:59 PM PT on January 21, 2019. Limit one Cash Bonus per eligible member. Cash Bonus offers are non-transferable. Please allow up to 2 weeks for your Cash Bonus to be added to your account.
  • Double In-Store Cash Back ends 1/21/19 at 11:59pm PT. Offer valid at participating US stores only. Purchases are subject to applicable store policies

Our Verdict

If you spend exactly $100 then it’s basically 20% back plus whatever the merchant is offering as well. Should be able to get some good deals if there is something you want to purchase anyway. Seems the $20 bonus is targeted, but the double cash back isn’t. Saks Fifth Avenue is at 4% back, if you spent $100 exactly on the Platinum you would get:

  • $4 back from double cash back
  • $20 back from the bonus
  • $50 back from the Platinum credit

Basically $100 in goods for $26, although most of that value is coming from the Platinum credit.

In NYC they were preparing for a major blizzard. However 44 degrees and NO snow came! NO one is outside, except every local NYC government snow plow! Retailers are desperate for business

Will be heading to Bed, Bath, & Beyond in a little while to stock up on eBay GCs. 🙂

I know it’s in the exclusions, but do mcgc and vgcs track at staples?

Staples is only online and this offer is for in-store. In the past, Ebates has shut down accounts for using OD/OM in-store and purchasing VGCs. Personally, I turn off the in-store link when buying OD/OM in-store. I usually buy 3rd party GCs at OD/OM with a CIC and stack the Ebates in-store.

OD/OM are in the targeted offer too. I went today and picked up some Amazon GC. Ours were all cleaned out of our local grocery GC though.

The last time OD/OM had the discount on VGCs, it coincided with ebates double cash back so I went for it (though there was still a cap of $10 per transaction so it was still only 3% effectively). All of my purchases tracked no problem.
