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!

Ebates just paid me $368.84 to my Paypal account

I just received notice that Ebates just sent $368.84 to my Paypal account!  Yipee.  This is for cash back and referral commissions earned from July 1 - Sept 30th.  I wrote here about how I got enough referrals for the $250 bonus.  Other than the tell-a-friend referral bonus of $250, the $368.84 also consisted of $105 in regular referral commissions ($5 for each qualifying referral), and $13.84 in personal shopping cash back rebates, mainly on back to school clothes for the kids.

Here's a screenshot of the emails I received notifying me of the payment they sent to my Paypal account.

October 2011 Earnings Report

Cash Back Website Referral Commissions - October 2011

• Mr Rebates New Sign Ups - 20
• Mr Rebates Referral Cash Back Earned - $173.31
• Ebates New Referrals (who made a $25+ purchase) - 15    I had many more new signups, but I don't earn any referral commissions unless the new sign up makes at least a $25 online purchase, so I only report the sign ups for Ebates who are "qualified".  Each one of these "qualified referrals" earns me $5.
• Ebates Referral Cash Back Earned - $75

Also Ebates just started a new referral bonus period that will run from Oct 1- Dec 31.  This is a great time for Christmas Shoppers who have never heard of cash back websites to sign up.  With my 15 qualified referrals in October already I'm doing well for this bonus period.  The bonus incentives are as follows (in addition to the $5 per person you normally get).  Please note you only are paid for the highest level you achieve (NOT cumulative).
Refer 5 people = get extra $75
Refer 10 people = get extra $150
Refer 20 people = get extra $300
Refer 50 people = get extra $750 OR an iPad 2  (this is my goal for this 3 month period!)
Refer 100 - Get $1,500 total bonus
Refer 200 - Get $3,000 total bonus
Refer 300 - Get $5,000 total bonus
Refer 400 - Get $7,000 total bonus
Refer 500 - Get $9,000 total bonus

OK, that's insane!  I wonder if anyone refers 600 people and qualifies for the $11,000 bonus!!!

My pending rebates just surpassed $400

I logged into my Mr Rebates account today to look at my referral earnings and I was happy to see that my "pending" cash back rebates has surpassed the $400 mark.

September 2011 Mr Rebates Cash Back Referral Commission Report

September 2011 Earnings Report
I just updated my Cash Back Website Referral Commission Report with my new September 2011 numbers.
Mr Rebates Cash Back Website Referral Program:
I had 24 new signups to the Mr Rebates Cash Back Website, and I earned a total of $213.12 in referral commissions from other people shopping (and earning cash back for themselves) during the month of September. My own cashback shopping is NOT included in that number.

The $213.12 is significant because it is the first time I have exceeded by goal of having an average of $150 per month in referral commissions by the end of the calender year 2011.  However, I did have one shopper who made a big purchase and also got a big % in cash back, so my referred shopper got a cash back rebate of $352.41, giving me a referral bonus of $70.48 just from that one shopper's purchase. If I would not have had that big commission my earnings would have been closer to $142, which is almost to my goal of at least $150 per month, which is still a great improvement.

I attribute my increase in referral sign ups (resulting in more shoppers, and thus more cash back referral opportunies from their purchases) to an increase in my postings about cash back deals and coupon codes on my blog Cash Back Websites.  I started that blog as my main way to get the word out about these great cash back programs, helping others save money on their online shopping purchases, and earning me a little bit of online income.

Ebates Cash Back Website Referral Program
I reached the $250 bonus level for the Ebates Cash Back Referral program's quarterly bonus incentive contest.  I referred 27 new sign ups (over 4 months), which I get $5 per sign up, plus because I referred more than 25 people, I qualified for the $250 cash back bonus. The referral bonus period was for a 4 month period. Normally it only last 3 months, but they extended it one month, which really helps me get to the $250 level. (otherwise I would have been a few short and would have qualified for the $100 bonus). You can read more about this cash back bonus here.

How Much are YOU making from Cash Back Website Referral Programs? 

I've earned a $250 Bonus!

Thanks to Ebates who extended its Refer-A-Friend Bonus period by one month (until 9/30/11), I've made a few more referrals and will qualify for the $250 Bonus Level. Yippee!  With one day left in the bonus period, which ran from 6/1/11 - 9/30/11, I've referred a total of 27 new signups that made a purchase of $25 or more. They all got their $5 sign up bonus (or $10 giftcard if that option was offered), and I'll get $5 for each of them also ($135 total). In addition to the $135, I'll also get the $250 BONUS prize, for a total of $385 for referring 27 new shoppers (that's like getting paid $14.25 per referal).  Yipee! I hope they offer another bonus period for 10/1-12/31 - that would include a lot of Christmas shoppers who may never have heard of cash back websites before!  I love being able to earn money online simply by showing people how THEY can SAVE MONEY using coupon codes and cash back rebates! Its a win-win for everyone!

Here's a screenshot of my referral page on Ebates, as of 9/29/11.

I referred 27 new signups for Ebates Cash Back who made a purchase of $25 or more, earning me a $250 Referral Bonus!

Tell-a-Friend Bonus period extended until Sept 30, 2011

I'm so excited that Ebates decided to extended this Tell-a-Friend bonus period that was schedule to end on August 31, has been extended, and will now end on Sept 30th, 2011. As you can see from the picture posted above, I currently ended the period of 6/1/11-August with 21 new referrals, qualifying me for $100 gift card. But I was only 4 new qualifying members away from the $250 bonus level. Now that the date has been extended one more month, I'm hoping I can get these last 4 in Sept, and make the $250 bonus level!

That also gives newcomers a chance to get in on the bonus period too! Start referring your friends by telling them about this great way to save money on things they are already buying online!  You only need to refer 3 friends, who join and make a $25+ cash back purchase online, and you'll get a $30 referral bonus. And that's in addition to the $5 per person you'll get for the regular Tell-A-Friend program.

A new member qualifies when they sign up and make a $25+ cash back purchase. Not a member of Ebates cash back website? Join for FREE here and start getting cash back rebates when shopping online at more than 1200 online stores, plus save even more with coupon codes and exclusive deals.
