I currently use ebates, and right now they are offering 4% on Dell S&P, which I think is hot. But they take forever to mail out checks. How long does fatcash take and how is it in comparison.

Thanks

HOT DEAL! :p

Fatcash has a FAQ. It will take about the same amount of time with either due to the way returns are accepted. For example, if a merchant accepts returns for 60 days, add 3 weeks from the shipping date to that return period to figure when the cash back money is clear. So technically it can take up to 6 months to get money back from either program.

I'm happy with ebates. I usually get the cash back on the next quarterly check if the item was shipped over a month before the next check mailing date.

(edit) Also, since the next mailing date is 11/15/03, a purchase you make today won't be sent until the Feb 2004 ebates check.

Fatcash usually has better rates.

FatCash has pretty much higher rates on everything than eBates does. So, for now, I've switched to FatCash.

used to use eBates, but it seems they take long and FatCash is the way I go now. I switched ever sinec eBates lost one of my Dell System purchases and cost me a $25+ check.

I've been using Ebates for a few years, and have made a lot of money back. I haven't found any reason to switch or had any problems. I like getting my check every three months. Just my two cents!
