Ebates will show you the percentage of money back that you can receive when you make a purchase from that specific retailer. Then, all you have to do is click on their link and it will track your purchase to figure out your cash-back amount.For example, if you are shopping online and making at purchase from Old Navy (this is how I shop for my kids clothes online) you would first sign into your Ebates account and then search for Target.
