One thing that deters me from online shopping is the fact that I'm impatient and hate waiting for packages to arrive. At the same time, I hate letting "free money" with
cash back from
Ebates go to waste! There are several stores on
Ebates where you can get the best of both worlds.
Shortly before Christmas and the arrival of my second child, I was in search of a new camera. Being the frugal shopper that I am, I wanted to find the best value. Aside from product reviews and ratings, what I was looking for were
discount codes, free shipping offers, gift with purchases,
rebates, and (of course) the highest percentage of
cash back through
Ebates.

I settled on a camera that I found at
Best Buy that was on sale and came with a free memory card.
Best Buy only has
1% Cash Back, but because
Best Buy offers in-store pickup I was able to purchase it online through
Ebates and have it in my hot little hand the very same day. I didn't have to pay shipping and I didn't have to wait anxiously for my package to arrive, yet I still earned
cash back.
For in-store pickup at
Best Buy just follow these easy steps:
1. Place your item in your cart and click the "Pick Up" button (this button is selectable only for products with store pickup availability).
2. Click "Select Store."
3. Enter your ZIP code or city/state and click "Find Nearest Stores."
4. Click "Select" next to the store with the item in stock where you'd like to pick up your purchase.
5. After you get through checkout, wait to receive two e-mails from Best Buy:
Order confirmation e-mail -- Verifies they've received your store pickup order.
Store pickup notification e-mail -- Confirms that your order is in stock and available for pickup. It will also walk you through the steps you'll take when you get to the store.
(This e-mail arrives within 45 minutes on average during store hours.)
There are four stores on Ebates that offer in-store pickup:
Best Buy,
Home Depot,
Walmart, and
The Container Store.
The next time you are shopping for a big ticket item like a new dishwasher or a lawnmower, don't forget about in-store pick up, and remember to shop with
Ebates! Don't lose out on all that
cash back!
