Just to offer perspective on the big picture.
Got my degree in Business Administration. Wanted to start my own company, thought degree was worthless but I finished. Never thought I would need it.
Ran business. Stopped doing it. Started a job at the "bottom" in government. Again, didn't need...
I did call and was told they sold out in 2 mins. I said I clicked the shoe in 2 seconds, how did it sell out? She said, "What do you expect when 100s of thousands of people are clicking at the same time?" Thanks, Eastbay.
It is legit. Basically these websites give Ebates.com a referral fee and Ebates shares part of it with you. It adds up and after 60 days, you can get a check or PayPal deposit. Another good site is Fatwallet.com.
Between both sites, I have received over $750 in money back. Again, not a scam...
