I’m about to get my first check from Ebates, the site that gives back for shopping. After an initial a $5 sign up credit to your new account you’ll earn a percentage back from every purchase you make from qualifying retailers. There are 1200, (nope not a typo) participating stores like Ebay, Barnes and Noble, JC Penny, Lighting Direct and the rebates ranges from 1 to a whopping 11 percent. Featured this week, Macys and Banana Republic and Athleta, Gap's cuter more athletic sister. It' s one of my favorite online stores for incredibly cute but expensive athletic and casual wear. They’ve recently put loads of items on sale, some as much half off and the Ebate is 11 percent. Gonna stock up and wait for my next big fat rebate check
