Online Shopping Site Offers Cash Rebates

The Great Canadian Rebates website offers rebates for shopping online at your favorite retailers. The Canadian innovation also has lots of US memberships and offers.

Here's how it works:

Registration is free and there are no membership fees. Just for becoming a member, GCR will deposit a toonie into your account.

After you're registered, you can start earning cash back rebates by shopping at hundreds of your favorite merchants. For every purchase made through the Great Canadian Rebates website, GRC gets a commission from the merchant and, according to them, they pass most of that commission on to you in the form of a cash back rebate. The rebate is paid by cheque or can be directly deposited into your PayPal account on a bi-monthly basis. Most rebates will be posted to your GCR account within 72 hours, however, it may take up to 30 days from the time of the purchase for the rebate to appear.

There's a minimum 45 day wait period before you'll actually be paid a rebate. That's so GCR can collect their money from the retailer and ensure that merchandise hasn't been returned. If you do return a purchase, the rebate earned will be debited from your account. The rebate will remain if the return is only an exchange for a different size or to get an item in a different color.

Great Canadian Rebates updates their coupons, sales and deals daily. There are over 300 retailers affiliated with the site. Walmart, Dell, The Bay, Sears, Expedia, Home Depot, Apple Store Canada, Chapters, Indigo, Hotels.com, Sony Style Canada, Groupon, MBNA and American Express are among the many retailers you'll find on the site.

You won't get a rebate on shipping and handling fees, taxes or any part of your purchase paid for with coupons, gift cards or store credits but otherwise, almost every purchase made through Great Canadian Rebates qualifies for a cash back rebate. You earn an average of five percent cash back through the website and even more by using their coupons and sales links.

You'll also earn referral bonuses of 10 percent on each of your friends who join Great Canadian Rebates. All orders must be placed through the website and not over the phone.
