Last week there was a sale on goupon for ebay certificates. I blogged about that here Groupon eBay deal $7 for $15 gift card 1 day only! but forgot to mention to sign up at Mr Rebates and start there to maximize your savings. This is the way the example breaks down if you haven’t signed up yet.
You sign up at Mr Rebates and get a $5 sign up bonus. Then you type in Groupon in the search box. That gives you a 6% cashback rate so on a $7 groupon purchase you would of received a 42 cent rebate. The ebay coupon saved you 53% since it allows you to buy an ebay purchase at $15 with no expiration date for a cost of $7.
$ 15 Ebay purchase
$ 5 Mr Rebates sign up bonus
$ .42 Mr Rebates actual rebate
$15 Groupon cost only $7
—————————–
$1.58 net cost (You spent $7 minus $5 bonus sign up minus .42 actual rebate) plus you get the $15 ebay item you purchased. Now that is how to save money. Also, if you use a rewards credit card you can stack that on top of the purchase.
