- Rated 5 out of 5by Mary, 6 years agoGreat little add on. Just with normal shopping you can get a 25 or 30 dollar check back when the pay period ends. If you do a lot of shopping, it goes up!

posted 6 years agoIt's never to late to start saving with Ebates! We're happy you gave us a shot. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14468774, 6 years agoVery intrusive on privacy. Of course the add-on requires to see what you are browsing to be capable of finding other prices, but this requires a lot of trust in the developers.
Moreover, when trying to login through Google Ebates requires these permissions:
"Ebates wants to access your Google Account
This will allow Ebates to:
Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all your email from Gmail"
...why would they require to send/delete email from your account is far beyond me.
Bottom line: Great add-on but requires a lot of trust into the developer... but considering they are attempting to takeover your email account, I see no reason to trust them.
One star will stay until this privacy issue is resolved.Developer response
posted 6 years agoThis feature helps us identify a store's order confirmation email so we can get Cash Back added to your account quicker. Unfortunately, this message originates from Google, and Ebates is unable to adjust it to reflect the feature’s actual use. We will never use this feature to create, send, delete, or modify emails on your behalf.
You can "Unlink" your Gmail Account Permissions with Ebates here: https://www.ebates.com/account-settings.htm and still be able to use your Gmail address for Cash Back shopping with Ebates. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13466190, 6 years agoEbates seems to be a good thing for online shoppers. I have been building an amount to make a purchase of "something nice". I will review again when I actually use my "points" to buy something.
