那么多年ebates开始做都快做烂了的东西，现在怎么又井喷了那么多家小公司。。
我猜是cashback也量化了，形成了电子市场，商家估计按各家refer的成绩来给动态
commission了，然后各家都用动态价格来bid用户，所以回馈率老是变来变去。当然它
们同时也收集了大量用户消费习惯和商家竞争局面的数据，再卖回给商家。
ebates前几年已经收购了肥钱包，估计这个市场继续会有兼并潮，最后剩没几家。

You have taken the first step towards shopping smart by joining Ebates! Now
when you shop, just remember to start at www.Ebates.com. You can click on
over 700 top stores like Staples, Expedia, Amazon.com, Dell, JCPenney, and
Barnes & Noble.com. And since you came from Ebates, you'll earn Cash Back on
every purchase.
It sounds too good to be true, but it isn't. We save our users millions of
dollars each and every month by passing the sales commissions retailers pay
us for sending them our members. Imagine if you could get every salesman you
deal with to give you commissions that he'd normally keep. That's how we
give you Cash Back. But we don't stop there. We also have teams of coupon
and bargain hunters searching night and day for coupons, free shipping
offers, and great deals on your behalf.
Is it too good to be true? No. It's the real deal and you save every time
that you shop online through Ebates. Try it and see your savings grow!
What's the catch? There's no catch!! We don't mark up prices, and we don't
mark up shipping and handling charges. Nor are we a "clearinghouse" for
overstock or discontinued items. The only difference from the deal you'd
normally get from a merchant is the Cash Back you'll earn. Otherwise, the
store you visit is identical in every way to what you normally get. You'll
still have access to the same products, low prices, and special deals as you
would if you went straight there without starting at Ebates.
When will I see my savings? The great bargains, coupons, free shipping
offers and sales are visible at checkout. The Cash Discounts that you've
earned as a loyal Ebates shopper can take up to 30 days. And they will be
sent to you every 3 months.
Here's just a small sampling of the kinds of deals that we offer:
goodguys.com
Click Here Enjoy Free Shipping and No Sales Tax...on Everything! Plus 2%
Cash Discount!
buy.com
Click Here Get free shipping on qualified items. No minimum purchase. Just
look for the free shipping icon!Plus 2% Cash Discount!

personal information at Ebates remains private and secure!

记得那时候家里堆满了cdr，dvd什么的。还有圣经小册子，做filler哈呵呵。
buy那时风光无限，还收购个yub导购网站呵呵。那时候比amazon风光。
可惜哈，竞争是马拉松哈呵呵。
