Just got a "big fat check" from ebates that I wasn't expecting. Logging it, it comes from a purchase I made 8/28/2015, just over 14 months ago. Not sure why it shows up now...

Hah I got another one today too. Seems they are making good on some cash back that they might have missed before.

I think that is pretty darn good of them to do that. Love my Ebates Visa and deals galore for CB all year long. No AF too.

I think this is one of the (many) cases where I got credit for ebates but not for the ebates Visa, and I would guess I complained at the time and got paid. So might be an unearned duplicate but not going to bother to check!

I hardly use the card as I find other portals better for the merchants I use.

You might want to remove the hyperlinks out of there. I clicked it and it took me into your account details FYI, it says Fr....k when I hit it..It was a harmless click cause I was curious if my might have got my mysterious missing Ebates card money so I thought I would click that link that says Ebates to login to my account.

They had sent me an email that they were sending a check for the "credit card bonus" portion of my charges.

I just wanted to say that I love the Ebates + Ebates Visa combo cashback.

They just added Jet.com too, where I do a lot of online shopping. I was using Upromise for Jet, but their tracking is way too inconsistent and their waiting/pending times seem a little too long.

I know which is weird . I mean a whole year + later. My refund checks have been on point with their published schedule thus far.

As others have said, this appears to be some audit process, where they have corrected where they gave 1% rather than 3% on ebates Visa purchases. So $81 I wasn't expecting, but fine.

This really has me going back and scouring my account, sometimes I tend to gloss over stuff then after some time has passed I realize hey some of my money back didn't post. I know they got me a few times on the in store cash back with the linked card, and then you have to email them receipts which after time past you may not have. I'm now doing better tracking on a spreadsheet and which card I used, cause I like all my money, now if they would just bring Apple back I would be elated, it's just iTunes now so the reward base is better with the Barclaycard Apple on that one. I did get some older Bloomingdale purchases just recently posted though

In my case, I only used ebates for Amex Gift card purchases (which no longer get rewards) and as these were $4-6K each order,, generating significant cash back, I do remember complaining at the time when they didn't post correctly. It's just possible I missed this one, as I was getting fed up having to complain each time. But now I assume I am either whole or more than whole
