Got a reminder email this morning about the current refer a friend bonus opportunity over at Ebates.  The normal bonus is $5 for referring someone to Ebates (though they often have promotions), but they currently have a promotion where you’ll get $25 for every referral that joins through your link.

It’s free to join and you’ll want to be a member of Ebates in order to take advantage of their shopping portal bonuses.  They aren’t always the highest, but they are often enough that it’s useful to have an account.

And while I assume they have protections in place to prevent abuse, there’s nothing that would stop you from referring say a spouse.

Ebates refer a friend fine print

  • Subject to the Referral Program Terms, Ebates will pay you a $25 Referral Bonus through your Ebates account for each Qualified Referral during the period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on April 30, 2019 (“Offer Period”).
  • Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Referral Program Terms, this offer is valid only if the referral signs up and completes their qualifying purchase during the Offer Period.

Where to share your Ebates referral links

Like we did for our Chase Sapphire Refer a friend links and Chase Ink Preferred refer a friend links, we will share Ebates referral links over on the Points With a Crew miles and points Facebook group

If you haven’t joined the Points With a Crew miles and points Facebook group yet, you’re definitely missing out – we have over 5,000 members talking miles, points and travel on a daily basis.
