Obviously, no love for me... I sent an email early this morning inquiring about it, but haven't heard a response yet.

I got mine 145-120= $ 25 on feb 17th . They removed $120 of referral money from account citing fraud. :mad:

I got mine early this time...

I just wish they paid more frequently...

Opening multiple accounts?

I finally received a response to my email--they said that I have two accounts, and as such, they can't pay me until they consolidate them. If I have two accounts, it's news to me!

Nop. Referred 12 people, who made small transactions and I got referral amount but they have questioned me how they manage to find small transactions( walmart music downloads) and they wouldn't give me any referral money.I was offered 20$ for as settlement which I refused. I did as per their terms and conditions but the guy Dylan just mocked and told me that I must have read that its at their discretion whether they would give me money or not . So they refuse to give me.

I've had two accounts for ages, no problem - am I not supposed to? of course I didn't get any referral credit for opening the second one. I use one for personal and one for family to keep things separate.

As to referring 12 people all of which made small purchases ? all from walmart music downloads? ... that I can see them being suspicious about. Of course if all 12 are real people and they actually made those purchases, you should simply have them verify those people exist and made the purchases. They used to require referrals earned at least $5 or $10 in cashback before you received the bonus, did they do away with that?

The current referral rules state referred person has to "make a minimum purchase of $20 within 90 days of joining." Previously I think you are correct it was they had to earn $5.

Yes current referral scheme is different from previous one.New terms clearly say minimum $20. I don't think they had any condition for minimum a referral person must spend last august. " You need to have minimum $5.01 which excludes any referral amount" to cash out , that is it( It talks only about you and not referred person. Referral money gets deposited in your account only when referred person makes eligible transaction.I had clearly asked them in mail also that time how much they need to spend 30$ or 100$ or what.This was their reply.

"Your referral bonuses are pending a qualifying cash back purchase through their accounts. So far, the purchases have not posted to your account as well as your referrals. When these variables are in effect, you will receive the promotional bonuses."

Transaction were made and referral money got transferred into my account that time. I have already offered " Dylan their customer service manager" the phone number of 12 people and also told him that all people have used their credit cards but He is adamant not to give me referral money.

" Most important thing is , they allowed that money to sit over there and I kept using their service only to find that after 6 months when it was time to pay me back (feb15) they removed that time"

Do they both pay out to the same PayPal account, or do you receive two checks, or one and one? They're saying that I have two accounts, because Mr. Kipper and I each have ebates accounts, but both email addresses for the accounts are tied to 1 PayPal account.

One is paid by paypal and one is paid by check. I didn't realize this until I got paid on both accounts in Feb, which is probably the first time both got paid out at the same time - I use fatwallet, mrrebates, and mileage malls as well, so not that many transactions go to ebates, just when their rates equal or exceed what other sites offer or the value I give to miles at that time...

I didn't intentionally set them up this way... Paypal wasn't even an option when the first account was opened, and I guess I just never changed it.

I didn't know you could share paypal accounts, I just realized you can link multiple email addresses to one paypal account the other day. I am surprised that ebates can determine that they are linked (which I understand from your post that they did know).

One would think that linked email addresses would be knowledge only you and paypal would have. slightly disturbing. someone pays your paypal account and they can see all your other linked email addresses??

It is rather disturbing to me that they can know that somehow.

Same here!
 

I have not receive my payment yet and ALSO my payment was 130.79 but now its 30.79 I'm not sure what happen but they are not getting back to me. I am upset about it.

Contact them about it. If you referred yourself, or others in your household with the same address, and then tried to use the same computer to complete offers for those people to receive your bonuses, it is quite possible they removed those bonuses from your account.

Received mine on 2/13. Definitely contact them. Kipper is 100% correct. If using multiple accounts in the same household, I always kick off TOR just so there is no matching of IP addresses.

That's funny cause my husband made one and also my sister in law and brother made one. I was excited to tell them around the holidays about ebates. She too did not get her payment. Contact them but Cathleen told her the same as you guys told me. I got 30 BACK from all that holiday shopping only and she got none. QUITE upsetting.
