Re: Opinions, please: eBates MoeMoneymaker
Gee, couldn't you have linked instead of posting the entire agreement? 
What is wrong with the agreement? I like eBates. JCPenney is one merchant you can get the extra discounts with and that is my favorite store. You can unenroll easily in the emails and you are really unenrolled. I got tired of the emails and had no trouble unenrolling. How can you complain about a site that hands you 2% of the purchase price for a Dell computer for just going through their site to make the purchase? The only complaint I have is that it was very difficult, as I said, to get the Dell store to not keep crashing and it crashed when I went to it through eBates and was very unstable going to it directly but it didn't crash.
Now if eBates has some scam where it deliberately crashes the merchant's store so you can't ever get the rebate promised then that is very bad but I have no evidence of that as the Dell site was down half that evening and very shaky when it wasn't down.
At one point, I called Dell and tried to make the purchase over the phone and the lady said I could even get the eBates over the phone but I couldn't use both coupons from eBay only one allowed. Both allowed only online.
What is this Moemoney something? I didn't install that and wasn't asked to and you still get your rebate. I never heard of the Moemoney thing until now. I was linked directly to eBates from the eBay site where I purchased the Dell coupons and I only had to provide an email address and then I was automatically linked to the Dell store. That Moemoney thing does look nasty but just don't install it. You don't need to use eBates until you are ready for your purchase and if the merchant is a member then you go to eBates after you have your purchase ready and you link to the merchant's store through eBates only for the length of time it takes to make the purchase. Then get rid of eBates cookies and later unenroll in the emails.
Edited: Ugh! I had that wrong 10% as the rebate in this post also. It's a 2% rebate.
