eBates double rewards for online shopping

Here's another great reason to start your holiday shopping online now. eBates has doubled some of their rebate offers with retailers like Macy's, Nordstrom, Borders, Dell, and others. It's unclear how long some of these offers will last.

If you are not familiar with eBates, it is a Web site that gives you a cash kickback for shopping at their partner stores. You sign in on their site, shop through links on their site to hundreds of retailers, and get a percentage back of what you spend. Joining is free.

With so much competition among retailers for limited shopping dollars this holiday season, eBates has some really good rebate offers. Shop at Macys and you get 8% cash back, Nordstrom is 6% back, Dell is 1-4% back, and Borders is 8% cash back. There are tons more rebate offers for just about any mainstream retailer you can imagine.
