Ebates just Paid me $1073.07

I just received my quarterly payment from Ebates, which includes my referral bonus for the time period of Oct - Dec 2011, which I earned a $750 bonus for referring more than 50 people to Ebates.  Of this $1073.07, only $38.07 was from my own personal shopping.  The rest was from referrals and referral bonuses.  Here's an updated screenshot of all my cash back payments I received from Ebates in the last 14 months.  If you want to start earning cash back on all your online shopping, plus save money by using online coupon codes, then join Ebates here.  You'll then be able to participate in the referral program like I do, and start earning referral bonuses like this.

Mr Rebates just paid me $560.90

Ah, the first of the month!  The magic day when I receive my Mr Rebates cash back money.  Most of this money if from my referral bonus earnings, which is the referral bonuses I earn when someone whom I have referred to Mr Rebates makes an online purchase earning themselves cash back.  Then I get an additional 20% of the amount of cash back they received.  My 20% is paid from Mr Rebates' pocket, not from my referral.  They still get the entire amount of cash back as stated on the Mr Rebates website for the store they were shopping at on that day.

I didn't request any money in November or December 2011, so this is actually Nov, Dec, and January's available cash back (after the standard 90 day hold period).  Even though it's three months worth of referral rebates I still really happy with the amount!  That's more than I made in all of 2011.

And even after receiving this payment my pending balance is still over $500, which means I'll be paid another $500 in the next 90 days.  And my earning just continue to grow as I refer more and more new shoppers to the Mr Rebates program.

Mr Rebates 2011 Referral Wrap Up

2011 Mr Rebates Referral Commissions per Month Earned

Here's a nice little summary of the number of new referrals I made in 2011 to the Mr Rebates cash back website.  It also showing the amount of referral commissions I earned per month.  My total referral commission earned for 2011 was $1313.04.  This is only my referral commissions, it does not include any of my own cash back rebates I've received for my personal or business online shopping.

I've entered the data in the month it was earned, then it sits as pending for 90 prior to being able to be paid out to me.  So the numbers for earning correlate with payments 90 days later.  Although sometimes I don't request the cash back to be paid out right away when it's available.

What I like about the Mr Rebates Referral program is that once you refer a new member, you continue to earn referral bonuses every time that new member shops online through Mr Rebates.  As opposed to the way Ebates pays their referrals bonuses ($5 after the shopper makes their first $25 purchase), I like this referral model much better.  I am still earning commission today from someone that I referred back in 2009.  If you are lucky enough to sign up someone who shops online A LOT, then you can earn a lot of referral commissions from that one shopper.

Also, over time, as you refer more and more people, your commissions should continue to increase per month, just from the numbers standpoint.  For example, if about 20% of your referrals place an order a month, and you have 100 referrals, then you'll earn commission on about 20 different orders.  But now fast forward a few years and let's say you now have 500 referrals under your account.  If you still average about 20% of those people ordering something that month, now you are earning commissions on about 100 different purchases.

I'm not sure what my average number of referral purchases is per month in comparison to how many referrals I have, but maybe I'll make a chart for that too.  It would be nice to use for goal setting purposes.

I earned a $750 Bonus with Ebates Referral Program

I'm so excited to have just surpassed the next level for the referral bonus period on Ebates for Oct-Dec 2011.  My dashboard says I've referred 52 new members, which will qualify me for the $750 bonus to be paid out on Feb 15th.  The next bonus level is for referred 100 new members, and will only a couple weeks left in December  there's no way I'll refer another 50 people to make it to the next level.  But I'm really excited about the extra $750 I'll be getting!  This level can also choose a free ipad 2 with 16 GB memory, but I recently purchased an iPad2, so I'm going to just take the cash.

And remember, the bonus is in addition to the $5 per person that you normally earn.  So for the 52 people I've referred, I will earn $260 in regular referral commissions + $750 in bonus money, for a total of $1010.  Not bad for simply helping other people save money on their Christmas Shopping!  Here's a pic of my dashboard today:

I recently used Ebates to order a few magazine subscriptions for family members for Christmas and got a whopping 52% cash back from Magazines.com.  I ordered my husband a subscription for Muscle & Fitness Magazine, which was already discounted.  The regular subscription price was $42.97, and I got $22.34 cash back for that order.  Then I also ordered a subscription for my mom to the Arizona Highways magazine.  The regular price was $24.00, and I got $12.48 in cash back.  Not a bad way to save some money on Christmas gifts!

My Mr Rebates Pending Payments is almost $600

My pending cash back rebates on my Mr Rebates account has surpassed the $500 mark and is almost $600.  These pending rebates will become available to be paid out to me over the next 90 days.  Every day that goes by, some of the money moves from the "pending" column to the "available" column, as 90 days passes from when the online purchase was made.  This 90 hold is placed on all rebates to ensure that people don't try to scam the system by buying products, collecting their cash back rebates, and then returning the items purchased.

Once you have at least $10 in "available rebates", you can request for your cash back to be paid out to you by either check or Paypal. Here's a YouTube video tutorial on how to request your Mr Rebates payment.  After your request, your rebates will be sent on the next 1st of the month.  I usually request it on the 30th or 31st and they send my money by Paypal the next day on the 1st.

Of this $581.80 that's in the pending rebates, only $14.98 was from my own online shopping.  The rest is from referrals, whom I have about 150 referrals on my account right now.  That means that anytime any one of the 150 people who have joined Mr Rebates from one of my referral links buys something online using Mr Rebates, they get cash back for their purchases, and I get a bonus from Mr Rebates equal to 20% of the cash back paid to the referral shopper.  My 20% bonus money is paid by Mr Rebates, it doesn't come from the referral shopper's portion.  The referral still gets ALL of their cash back that is due to them.

The referral program is a win-win for everyone.  You are helping people save money on their online purchases by showing them how Mr Rebates has thousands of coupon codes and gives out cash back rebates for shopping online.  And you are getting a referral bonus for showing them how Mr Rebates works!
