Today\u2019s post is a Rebatest Review that covers everything you need to know about how the site works.\n<\/p>\n
Now, I shop online a lot and I mean A LOT. It\u2019s not because I buy a lot of stuff either \u2013 it\u2019s just that I find shopping online<\/a>, well, just more convenient.<\/p>\n Sure, I like going into stores occasionally to have a browse of what\u2019s there, but for the most part, I do my shopping online.<\/p>\n In fact, I\u2019d say that I make 95% of my purchases online. I shop for food online, clothes, cat food, and more.<\/p>\n And I\u2019d say one of the sites that I use the most is Amazon. I shop there for shampoo, books, makeup, skincare products, cat litter and much more. I\u2019m a member of Prime, so I like that I get fast, free delivery on most items.<\/p>\n Now, if you\u2019re anything like me, and the millions of other people in the world who shop online, then you\u2019ll definitely want to use cashback sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cashback sites give you money back on what you spend. Most often, this is a percentage amount. So, you might get 10% back when you shop at Sephora, for example.<\/p>\n Sometimes cashback is offered as a dollar amount, like get $5 back when you spend $50 or whatever.<\/p>\n Now, there are tons of cashback websites and apps out there, like Mr. Rebates<\/a>, Rakuten<\/a>, and TopCashback,<\/a> many of which we\u2019ve covered here on Money Pantry.<\/p>\n Rebatest takes cashback to a whole new level. It\u2019s actually a product testing site that gives you 100% cashback on your Amazon purchases.<\/p>\n You read that right.<\/p>\n Rebatest says that you can get up to 100% cashback if you share your honest opinion and testimonials.<\/p>\n But is this too good to be true?<\/p>\n Well, in this post, I\u2019ll answer that question and more.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll cover\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Rebatest is a product testing and cashback website. It gives you up to 100% cashback on Amazon<\/a> and all you need to do is provide your opinion and testimonials.<\/p>\n In this section, I\u2019m going to give you a step-by-step guide for using this site to get rebates.<\/p>\n The first step is to sign up for Rebatest.<\/p>\n In order to sign up you must be:<\/strong><\/p>\n Anyone who meets the above requirements can sign up.<\/p>\n The site is free to join and doesn\u2019t charge any fees. <\/strong><\/p>\n Now, what\u2019s interesting about the site is that it is offering a $50 sign up bonus or \u00a330 if you\u2019re in the UK.\u00a0 It\u2019s not as simple as just signing up and getting the money though. You have to sign up and complete 10 tasks to receive the $50 or \u00a330 bonus.<\/p>\n Okay, so once you\u2019ve signed up, you can start searching for products. Like I said before, the site is offering cashback for Amazon products. As you likely know, Amazon offers items in a TON of different categories, so you\u2019ll be able to find lots of different things on Rebatest.<\/p>\n Categories available on the site include: <\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to search for the items you want. You can do this in one of two ways:<\/p>\n When you find an item you\u2019re interested in, you\u2019ll need to apply for it.<\/p>\n You see, Amazon sellers list their products on the site, and then you apply to test them. You\u2019ll need to wait to get the seller\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n To apply, you just need to click on the product you want. Then, you\u2019ll be taken to the product listing page. Next, click on the orange \u201cAppy Now,\u201d button.<\/p>\n The next step, after the seller approves your application, is to purchase the product.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n Okay, now that you have got the product, the product testing<\/a> part comes into play. You\u2019ll need to test it out and give your feedback in a trial report. The website recommends you wait 3 days to write the trial report after the order number is approved by the seller.<\/p>\n To give your trial report, you\u2019ll need to click on \u201cWrite a Report,\u201d in \u201cMy Application.\u201d<\/p>\n The trial report only needs to be short and will only take you around 5 minutes or so to complete.<\/p>\n It contains four parts, including:<\/strong><\/p>\n You need to make sure you leave a helpful and relevant trial report. You must also make sure that it is not too short \u2013 less than 20 words is too short \u2013 or your trial report may be refused by the seller. And it must offer your genuine opinion (positive or negative).<\/p>\n Once the seller has approved your order number and trial report, the site will send you a rebate. You\u2019ll get the rebate to your Rebatest account within 48 hours.<\/p>\n Then you can withdraw the money to your PayPal account. Now, it\u2019s important to note that you will need to leave one verified review in order to be able to withdraw your money.<\/p>\n While the main focus of the site is to test products and get rebates, there are a couple of other features on offer.<\/p>\n The website actually offers a referral program where you can earn money when you refer friends to Rebatest. It\u2019s a pretty easy way to make some extra money<\/a> if you know someone who would also be interested in getting rebates for the stuff that they purchase on Amazon.<\/p>\n Refer a friend who finishes at least one review for a rebate order, and you\u2019ll get a $5 bonus. Both you and your referrals are eligible to earn a reward of $5 cash for each Qualified Referral that you refer.<\/p>\n The site also has a number of activities that you can do to earn Contribution Points, which are needed to apply for product testing opportunities. For each month, the site offers different activities that users can do to win a bonus of up to $100.\u00a0 This includes things like giveaways and a Contribution Points Wall.<\/p>\n At the time of writing, there was a giveaway on the site where you could earn $20 for a TIKTOK post that gets the most likes.<\/p>\n Contribution points can also be used for completing actions.<\/p>\n Here are some examples: <\/strong><\/p>\n Okay, so now for the important part\u2026<\/p>\n Is Rebatest legit?<\/p>\n Or is it just another scam?<\/p>\n Well, I always like to see what other users think of a site before I give my opinion on it. Generally, aside from trying out a site myself, I\u2019ll always head on over to Google to hunt for a Better Business Bureau profile or a Trustpilot page. Both sites offer a good indication for me as to whether or not a site is actually legit.<\/p>\n Now, Rebatest doesn\u2019t seem to have a profile on the BBB<\/strong> at least at the time of writing anyway.<\/p>\n It does have a page on Trustpilot though. <\/strong><\/p>\n It has 168 reviews and a 3.9-star rating. This is a rating of \u201cGreat.\u201d<\/p>\n When I was browsing through the company\u2019s page though, I did notice that there was an alert from Trustpilot, which read:<\/p>\n I\u2019m not sure exactly what this means, but perhaps Trustpilot is investigating the legitimacy of the reviews left. So, whether or not that \u201cGreat\u201d rating that Rebatest has on there is actually legit is not clear.<\/p>\n Now, as for what the reviews from Trustpilot actually had to say, there was a mix of positive ones and negative ones.<\/p>\n One reviewer said:<\/strong><\/p>\n Another person said something similar, writing: <\/strong><\/p>\n A few people complained that they did not get the full cashback amount to their PayPal account. But I do know that Rebatest mentions a 4.4% PayPal charge quite clearly on its site. So, it\u2019s pretty transparent about the fact users won\u2019t get 100% of their cashback.<\/p>\n Now, there were also positive reviews of the site on Trustpilot.<\/p>\n One user says:<\/strong><\/p>\n Another reviewer wrote:<\/strong><\/p>\n So, overall, the reviews were pretty mixed.<\/p>\n I did also notice that, according to Trustpilot, Rebatest hasn\u2019t replied to negative reviews for the past12 months. So, it seems like the company is perhaps ignoring some legitimate concerns from its users.<\/p>\n I also read up on user reviews from Quora and Reddit. On both sites, opinions of Rebatest were mixed.<\/p>\n One user on this Quora page<\/a> wrote:<\/p>\n On Reddit, where opinions were also mixed, some people praised Rebatest.<\/p>\n One user on this Reddit thread<\/a>, says:<\/p>\n Other users aren\u2019t so positive though, so again the reviews of Rebatest on Reddit are pretty mixed.<\/p>\n So why exactly does Rebatest give out huge rebates, like a 100% cashback in some cases?<\/p>\n Well, it\u2019s simple really.<\/p>\n Amazon is a huge platform and there are thousands of products on there, right? So, if you are a seller, it can be hard to make your product stand out among the competition, and to get people to, you know, actually buy it!<\/p>\n One of the things that makes products on Amazon stand out is reviews.<\/p>\n I know that one of the first things I look at when I\u2019m shopping on Amazon is the reviews. I mean, if a product has negative reviews, it puts you off buying it.<\/p>\n You likely look at Amazon reviews<\/a> before you purchase something to. Many people do. That\u2019s why sellers want to be putting out good products.<\/p>\n Brands need people, like you, to test out their products and provide honest feedback. That way, they can improve and develop products.<\/p>\n So, Amazon sellers offer a limited number of new products every month on Rebatest.<\/p>\n Since your feedback is valuable, sellers are willing to give away items at a huge discount or even for free in the case of 100% cash back rates.<\/p>\n They can improve their products, and, as a result, hopefully get better reviews for their products in the future.<\/p>\n How much money you receive depends on the number of items you test and the cashback percentage that\u2019s offered.<\/p>\n Now, it\u2019s really important to note that you aren\u2019t actually, \u201cmaking money,\u201d with Rebatest.<\/p>\n Instead, you use your own money to purchase items on Amazon and the site gives you a rebate for it. This means that you are getting the product for free or at least at a discount.<\/p>\n In terms of how much money you can get, I saw lots of offers for 100% cashback. It\u2019s important to note though that the site pays through PayPal, and you\u2019re charged a 4.4% fee. This means that you don\u2019t get the full amount of cashback advertised.<\/p>\n Okay, so let\u2019s take a look at some pros and cons of Rebatest.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll start out with the good aspects of the site.<\/p>\n What I like about the website is the fact that it offers so many different products. You\u2019re not stuck with just one category here. So. if you\u2019re looking for a few different items in multiple departments, then it\u2019s good to know that you can find them on offer on the site.<\/p>\n Most of the time when a site says, \u201cUp to\u201d 100% cashback, it means that you\u2019ll find a few cashback offers for 100% and the rest will be far less. You may have noticed this yourself on cashback sites.<\/p>\n With Rebatest, however, there were tons of cashback offers available that gave you a 100% rebate. So, it\u2019s good that you can get such large rebates!<\/p>\n A lot of sites are only available to those in the USA, so it\u2019s good to know that the site accepts users in the UK too. This means that the site is accessible to more people.<\/p>\n Okay, so now let\u2019s cover what I don\u2019t like about Rebatest.<\/p>\n When you visit the Rebatest homepage and see all of these 100% cashback offers, you think, great!<\/p>\n I can get all of my money back here, and I can essentially get a ton of stuff from Amazon for free. Sweet, right?<\/p>\n Well, not exactly. I said at the start of the post, is the site too good to be true. And in this instance, it is.<\/p>\n The thing is, you have to purchase the product on Amazon yourself, using your own money. And then you get a rebate. But, there\u2019s one pretty big caveat.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t get all of your money back!<\/p>\n This is because Rebatest pays you via PayPal. And there\u2019s a 4.4% PayPal charge. So if you got a $100 rebate, you\u2019d actually only receive $95.6% of your money back.<\/p>\n Now, that\u2019s still a 95.6% cashback rate, which is pretty great. It\u2019s just something to be aware of. Rebatest does mention this fee on its site.<\/p>\n Another thing that can push down the true cashback value that you get is sales tax and shipping costs, both of which are not covered by Rebatest.<\/p>\n Make sure you factor in the PayPal fees and any other fees or tax into the rebate, so that you know how much money to expect to receive back.<\/p>\n I found the website was pretty clunky. There was a lot of information for users on there, which was good, but the actual design was a little messy.<\/p>\n For example, there was a scroll bar on the bottom, because the width of the site did not adjust for my computer screen. It\u2019s not a huge deal, but it\u2019s still a little annoying.<\/p>\n\n
