- Direct link to offer.
Key Terms
- Expires July 16, 2019.
Quick Thoughts
As always, you’ll want to check Cashback Monitor for rates on other portals, but some of these rates look pretty enticing. Here are some of the highlights:
- IHG – 9%
- Walgreens – 9%
- Walmart – Up to 10%
- JCPenney – 9%
- Saks Fifth Avenue – 14%
- Advance Auto Parts – 15%
- eBags – 15%
- American Apparel – 15%
- Bloomingdale’s – 10%
- Sephora – 9%
- Bass Pro Shops – 10.5%
- Boxed – 10%
- Dell – 12%
Many of these rates will stack nicely with other offers, particularly Amex Offers and other statement credits on Amex cards. For example, I think there are currently Amex Offers for Advance Auto Parts, Boxed and likely several others too.
On the statement credits front, the $10 monthly dining credit on the Amex Gold card can be used for Boxed purchases, the twice-yearly $50 Saks Fifth Avenue statement credit on personal Platinum cards can be used again now that it’s past July 1 and the twice-yearly $100 Dell statement credit on business Platinum cards can also be used again now that it’s the second half of the year.
Be sure to check the terms of each retailer before clicking through. For example, Walmart is listed as up to 10%, but that higher rate is only on select categories like baby, beauty and pet supplies. Similarly, the Microsoft Store is offering up to 10.5%, but only for digital movies, TV shows, apps and game purchases. Software earns 2.5% and hardware earns 1%, so buying a new laptop or tablet won’t earn you 10%.
If you have an Ebates account that earns Membersihp Rewards rather than cashback, these rates are even more rewarding.

Up to 10% at walmart…………why not tell me BEFORE I BUY my % off???
If you go to the Walmart page on Ebates, it tells you on the left hand side what percentage you’ll earn in each category so that you know before your purchase.
