About MR Rebates

MR Rebates is a cashback portal founded in 2002, making it one of the earliest players in the cashback space. Since then, Fatwallet was acquired by ebates, and newer cashback sites such as Splender and Giving Assistant have appeared one after another. Mr.Rebates has remained standing, probably because its tracking is reliable and purchases are less likely to go missing. Also, among all cashback portals, I think MR Rebate has one of the cleanest and simplest interfaces.

Sign-Up and Welcome Bonus

If you sign up for MR Rebates through a referral link now, you can receive an extra $5 bonus after your first cashback posts.

After signing up, you can see $5 pending in your account.

Basic Features

Earning Cashback

Just use the search bar on MR Rebates to look up the store where you want to shop. For example, if you search for Walmart, you can see Walmart’s store page. Click Shopnow to enter Walmart, complete your purchase, and that purchase can earn 5% cashback.

Click Tracking

After you click from MR Rebates to another merchant, the click record will appear in Click Summary. If the cashback does not track properly, you can use that tracked click when submitting a claim. You can also add your own notes next to each click, such as what you bought, which makes it easier to manage and track your cashback.

Cashing Out

Once the cashback in your account exceeds $10, you can request a payout. MR Rebate offers three payout options:

  • Paper check by mail
  • PayPal payment
  • Amazon gift card

After you request a payout, the check will be sent the following month. Redeeming for an Amazon gift card does not provide any extra discount, so cashing out by check or PayPal is usually the better deal.

Notable Features

Weekly Promotions

Each week, MR Rebate selects some merchants and offers boosted cashback rates. During shopping season in particular, 10% cashback is pretty nice.

Referral Bonus

Unlike most cashback portals, MR Rebates rewards the referrer with 20% of the referred user’s cashback. If you know friends who do reselling or buying on behalf of others, refer them to Mr.Rebates and you can earn 20% of their cashback total.
