EBATES is another lazy way to make (really save) some extra money. It is one of the older cash back shopping portal/applications. Basically ebates acts as a shopping site portal and it has agreements with certain sites to get kickbacks if users buy specific items and ebates gives you a portion of the kickback. I do not do a ton of online shopping but I always check ebates first. It is simple to go there first and just buy stuff normally after that. It is a pain that you need a minimum amount to get a payout and they only payout 4 times a year but it is still money I would not have. I had a decent refund from buying a grill on Amazon ($13.60) and getting contacts from Vision Direct ($9.04). Note - check other portal options too - Discover credit card has a shopping option and offered a good percentage discount on Vision Direct right after I ordered the last set of contacts. You can sign up for ebates through ebates.com or use the following referral link http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=0XtxDZX%2BMYb9zto%2FiUL7jg%3D%3D&eeid=28585
