If you stop here often, you will know that one of my favorite ways of creating value is through the use of Ebates. I was able to save $32 on my first set of purchases in March and continue to rack up savings along the way.
Since I last wrote on this topic, the app/website has officially changed their name to Rakuten, which was the parent company of Ebates in the past. If you do you research and diligence on this savings opportunity, you will notice that the current users are huge fans of the ease of use and how broad the savings opportunities offered(over 2,500 retailers) but express an interest to have the company accelerate the cash out timing of the savings earned.
Knowing that I treat all of my financial performance on a cash basis (meaning: I don’t take credit for the savings until the cash is in my hands or my controlled accounts), I watch this carefully…But I write this article to let you know that now is the right time to consider becoming a member since the next Big Fat payment date is set for Aug 15th, which is less than a month away from today.
The savings for a new member can be at least 40% off your initial purchase or $10 minimum cash back on a $25 purchase, this doesn’t account for any additional rewards from the vendor or a cash back credit card that you might use to earn points.
The ability to effectively plan is a key to being able to save and earn money, with Rakuten….the ideal time is now!
I am a finance professional with over 20 years of experience and very passionate about all topics related to finance; enjoying the aspect of teaching and educating others along the way. All in all, I will show you how big this money tree can get over time as I get the branches (Earn, Save, Invest) as high as possible…Click here to see my financial progress to date: How high is the Money Tree?
