Bitcoin Forum

Since our launch of CoinRebates (http://www.coinrebates.com) a year and a half ago, we've processed over 3,000 rebates and paid out over 25 BTC. We've received good feedback from our users, and while it seems like a great way for bitcoin newbies and veterans alike to earn some extra bitcoin, many in the community either haven't heard of our service or won't use it.

We're currently seeking feedback for CoinRebates. Have you heard of this service? Would you use it? If not, why not? Any suggestions or ideas for improving our service would be greatly appreciated.

Would it be possible for you to support Amazon? I often buy things off of Amazon and it would be nice to get this kind of rebate for doing so.

Unfortunately, Amazon is unwilling to work with rewards programs like ours at the moment.

Yes, I've seen CoinRebates, it looks like a very simple scheme but as other people have said on your other threads, pretty US oriented.
Also, the bitcoin cashback don't seem to be as high as fiat cashback sites offer for the same stores.
How does it work anyway?
Obviously someone has to pay the cashback, it must be the store or is it the provider of the goods to them? I ask this because most stores seem to have certain items, like Apple products, on which cashback discounts don't apply.

I haven't used Coinrebates before. It's mainly because There are limited stores and merchants that supports Coinrebates reward system and unfortunately, Majority of this stores will have  issues shipping to my country.


Like others, If You can get more merchants to support Coinrebates, I will definitely try out the service... Everyone likes those cashbacks ;) until then, I'll continue using Ebates

The way it works is pretty simple. We earn a commission from the store every time a purchase is made through our site, which we then share with the user. Certain items might not be eligible for rewards because they are either already discounted or yield too small of a profit for the stores.

What merchants are you using with Ebates that we don't have?

I think yes, but im not sure haha.. I used coins.ph wallet, correct me if im wrong, is coinrebates it just like, when you get some load from your coin wallet, then there is 1% (im not sure)points given back to your wallet automatically? Thats the thing came to my mind when i heard rebates haha  ;D

No,never heard of the service but seems cool.So basically,I buy whatever I want from one of those listed sites and you pay for them using bitcoin or what exactly you rebate for ? Or you just give free bitcoins for shopping via your portal ?The tagline that is
is confusing.

This is something similar to Purse.io, right? How come they work with Amazon and you can't?

It's kind of similar, but not really. Both CoinRebates and Purse.io lets shoppers save money. Purse does this by leveraging a bitcoin/Amazon gift card marketplace. CoinRebates does this by sharing merchant commissions in the form of bitcoin rebates.

Whenever you buy from the listed sites by using our tracking links, we will pay you the advertised rewards in bitcoin.

I can see how our tagline is confusing. We will consider changing it to make it clearer. Thanks for the feedback.

this is my first time to hear about coinrebates because i am not even trying to buy product and then get cashback but if there is more store online that will accepting bitcoin, then it is a good opportunity for us to use it. i am sure that it will give other benefits for bitcoin user since they used their bitcoin to shopping. i hope in future, there will be many store online that want to work together with coinrebates so we have many option for store online to shop.

To be clear, most of the stores we're partnered with do NOT accept bitcoin. You are eligible to earn bitcoin cashback regardless of what method you use to pay. If you're only interested in paying with bitcoin, here are our partnered stores that accept bitcoin:

Its my first time to heard about coinrebates.com sounds like an online shopping where you can a reward once you buy a reward to their r shopping site. If ever I decide to buy something in your shop there is also I can gain trust on this matter?

I do have coin rebates from my online wallet if am loading my personal mobile number using wallet and the directly converts the payment to regular load being loaded to the cellphone network. Its was very amazing that even if you spend your bitcoin on these simple ways it gave benefits for you and at the same time there's profit.

Would it not be possible to affiliate yourself, and then pay out based on what you earn from that? Like if someone buys something through your link and you get $5, you split it with the user.

Amazon is very selective with who they accept into their affiliate program. They are not fond of rewards websites, and I suspect they're even less interested in working with sites associated with bitcoin, which is too bad.

But we are affiliated with plenty of other big retailers. And yes, the commissions we earn are shared with our users. If there are any stores you'd like to see us working with, please let us know!

Nice, I use cashback weekly since years I didn't know one with bitcoin. Great idea, I am going to enjoy this one  :D Yeah not easy to find Amazon in such sites, and when you find it is only for some items categories and usually it won't last for long... You can get some good deals using sites like this one.
Q: is there any affiliate program at Coinrebates ?

There is! You earn 10% of what your referrals earn. Go to https://www.coinrebates.com/account/referrals to get your referral link.

I do like these type of reward systems, Coinrebates is pretty much US related so not useful for me in the EU, if something similar was available in my region I would use it.  It would have to be good to compete with the likes of topcashback.

What do CoinRebates actually do? The decision whether I would use it or not comes firstly and foremostly from its usefulness.

If you buy stuff online from any of our partnered stores, you will find CoinRebates useful since you'll practically be getting free bitcoin.

Perfect ! Thank you for the info, I am more excited to use it now and will start to promote soon. Because promoting such sites is good as we earn for each pruchase made by our refs and for ever. And in my country for some type of items people buy more online than offline and you know when you often buy online those sites are a gold mine ;)
