Ebates is a unique online service that provides consumers with an interesting method of reaping additional rebates.  In the online world many websites receive part of their funding by referring visitors to a shopping site.  The visitor that is referred may purchase something from that site and upon the purchase if the retail site can identify the referring source through cookies, they may pay an affiliate commission to the website.

With this well established business process in mind, Ebates has established a system where they provide coupons to their members.  When those members shop, they login to the Ebates portal and they make their purchases through Ebates’ affiliate links.

Ebates then provides a portion of the commission that they receive on the sale to the consumer in the form of an after the fact payment like a Rebate.  Consumers can obtain sizable discounts in this manner from many well known and recognized retailers across the internet.  Membership in Ebates does require the establishment of an account and the installation of software which works to track you purchase through the Ebate system such that the commission can be verified and paid to you accurately.
