I made a list and my opinions, anyone can help me to update the list and give us the best way to get our real cashback.

1. Shop Discover , Chase Ultimate Mall and other Bank Portal
So far, this is the only shopping portal I feel most reliable. I got 80 percent of cashback in the next statement. They do not has the best cashback offer, but they always get my money back to my pocket.

Disadvantages: any one can share some personal experiences about the bank portals ?

2. Ebates
I did more than 10 transactions through their link. I got some money from them. I am not really care about the pending time if all the right amount can show on my account.
But, I made a 1000 dollar purchase on ashford.com through them one month ago. Nothing show up. I cant find a way to contact them about my transactions.

3. Topcashback
They offered a free Blu ray movie couple months ago. I did couple transactions through them. At least all my cashback is pending on the account now. It just taking forever.....

4. BigCrumbs
I did one amex gift card transactions . Two months passed, nothing showing on my account. I hate them!!!! Waste my money. I spend extra money to liquidate the amex card too.


Questions:
Which shopping portal allow user to use a merchandise gift card to make a purchase and get cashback ?
I do some gift card purchase to earn my grocery store gas points. I know topcashback do not give cashback if I am using a gift card to purchase. Which portals allows me to use the gift card to make a purchase and get cashback at the same time ??
