Our Verdict
I think a lot of people are thinking this is sitewide, but it’s not. There is obviously the huge exclusions list and additionally you only earn cash back on the categories listed. Overall very mediocre deal.
Hat tip to 2per4life & Alec P
Ebates credit for Amazon never gets added to my account, even when I shop a supported category. I always have to manually request it to be added, very annoying.
I believe Swagbucks has a very similar limited scope 8% on Amazon
