By downloading the Ebates app or extension, coupons and cashback deals will automatically be applied to your purchase at checkout. Once you start collecting cash back from multiple websites, your cashback balance will accumulate and you’ll be paid via Paypal or check! The best part is that you’ll earn $25 for every friend that signs up and makes a purchase with the app and they’ll also receive $10. Friends don’t let friends pay full price, right?
