- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14779228, 6 years agoI like Ebates, but this browser add-on is too overreaching. I don't need non-disappearing pop-ups on every merchant site I visit advertising the cash-back rate. Nor do I need to see cash-back offers in search results (I cannot believe this is touted as a feature). There is, apparently, no way to turn either of these features off? I'll still use the site, but this add-on is spam.
April 28 update: This response is telling. The button is an "R." I don't want activation hover on any site - is your solution to create a whitelist that covers all Ebates/Rakuten merchants? And there is no "Do not display Product Search Recommendations" option in the settings - https://s.put.re/FNnXcqat.pngDeveloper response
posted 6 years agoWe definitely want the Button to be helpful, not a nuisance. Here’s how to disable the pop-up reminders and search recommendations:
1. Click on the Cash Back Button icon (the “E”).
2. Click on “Settings” at the bottom of the drop-down that appears.
3. To hide the Activate Cash Back reminders, check the box for “Do not display Activation Hover on these sites.”
4. Enter the URLs of sites you don’t want reminders for. When you’re done, click "Save.”
5. You may also check the box "Do not display Product Search Recommendations" - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 6869700, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14727596, 6 years agoI love getting money back for shopping that I would normally do. You don't have to do anything special, just shop thru the ebates portal and you can save a lot of money in coupons as well as the cashback. People are silly not to take advance of this.

- Rated 1 out of 5by LastLonewolf, 6 years agoI noticed that the response by the developer to "Firefox user 14468774" question about PRIVACY CONCERNS was not fully answered. The developer said "We will never use this feature to create, send, delete, or modify emails on your behalf." But did they say that they would never READ YOUR EMAIL? No they did not. Other rebate add-ons do not go anywhere near the permissions that this add-on does. Very concerning. I was going to install but I think I will just use Ebates without using this add-on.

posted 6 years agoWe appreciate your concern. A cool feature of the Cash Back Button is to provide members with quick access to their order confirmations. Allowing access provides us with the ability to identify order confirmations and provide a link from your Cash Back Balance page. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14673784, 6 years agoRead a lot about Rakuten and how it works before signing up. I'm delighted that most of the retail stores I shop at are listed with cash-back discounts. I am glad to have discovered Rakuten. They also add occasional coupons which saves you money when shopping.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14175756, 6 years agoI don't shop that much,but when I do I use Ebates for most of my discounts,and what a savings I get ordering in bulk.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13757065, 6 years agoEasy to use, and easy to keep track of things as the button changes colors when you have it activated.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14640603, 6 years agoLove ebates, it's like getting money back for spending money.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14580677, 6 years agoAs an older person who isn't very computer savvy, I find Ebates a very easy program to use. It pops right up when coupons are available on my purchases.
