Ebates scam

Would someone tell me if clickrewards actually delivers what it promises? I guess I'm never going to get my money from ebates

If anyone cares - below is a synopis of a LONG and rather discouraging correspondence with ebates.

Hello again,

Well the only conclusion I can come to is that you are collecting money from your companies as affiliates and then scamming your customers - this is really unfortunate as I had heard good things about your service.

Need I say your response has been underwhelming - first denying that I purchased through your website - then when presented with proof that the purchase WAS made through your website my credit appeared in my account for a day or two. It then mysteriously disappeared (shortly before your cut off date for sending checks out) and despite multiple letters to you it has never been corrected.

Rest assured that I am mad enough about your deceit that I will do what I can to make sure you do not collect money from other unsuspecting businesses that you promise to people like me and then keep yourself!

Sincerely,

A Very Very Disappointed Customer
