Our Verdict
10% is sweet. It likely won’t stack with a portal, though, since it needs to be an app purchase. I’m usually targeted for Bucks offers, but not this one.

As other comments have mentioned, some phone app portals (Ibotta, Ebates, etc.) work together with the app bonus. Would just like to add another portal that should work: Drop. Almost always 1.5% for eBay.
Maybe a silly question, but can you then turn around and use the ebay bucks to purchase gift cards?
Yes, just did that a few weeks ago.
Yes, I believe that still works.
Not eBay gift cards, meaning you can't bank the bucks. You have to use them on something during the period, and generally eBay bucks promotion don't occur during the bucks redemption period.
No luck this time.
Was targeted for a 8% ebucks promo a few days ago (didn't use it)
Still waiting on a 10-20% off coupon.
Same. Seems like it’s been a while.
how often do they come? havent seen one in a while? doc you know the cycle when these coupons come?
Usually at the end of the month and or/quarter. Let’s hope for one on the 28th.
Just FYI... ibotta usually stacks with bucks offers...
Correct, it's always worked for me.
So will ebates app.
Interesting, thanks
Must one complete the purchase from within the eBay web page hosted inside the ebates app, or can one then open the eBay app and complete the purchase that way? I ask because if you must use the hosted eBay web-page from within the ebates app, I would think the eBay Bucks would track as "online" and not "in-app" since that's really what it is (or so it appears).
I have the ebay app on my phone so when it opens the mobile page, it asks if I want to view in app, which I do and I see ebates at top left (on ios) like I do when I click through ibotta.
One note is that ebates has select categories that that are strict on for ebay while ibotta seems to be a little more generous on what they count as qualifying.
