For better or worse, the holiday season is once again upon us, and while there are certainly reasons to be apprehensive from a frugality standpoint, there are some nice promotions being run by many of the cash back sites out there. 

If you aren’t using a cash-back portal when shopping online, you’re potentially missing out on some nice (free) rebates. For participating merchants, access their website through one of these shopping portals and shop normally — simply by including those few extra mouse clicks, you may earn a nice one to four percent back on your purchase.

Ebates Holiday Promotion

Ebates — which offers a $5 signup bonus — has kicked things off with bonus cash back at a bunch of merchants including:

  • Barnes and Noble - 8% (from 4%)
  • Drugstore.com - 7% (from 6%)
  • Overstock.com - 6% (from 4%)
  • Borders - 8% (from 4%)
  • walmart - 2% (from 1%)

FatWallet Holiday Bonus

Cash-back site FatWallet.com has its own holiday bonus, with extended cash back at an incredible number of merchants. I can’t even begin to list them all, but to name a few:

  • Banana Republic and Gap - 5.3% (increase of 2.0%)
  • Orbitz - $4.00 (increase of $1.00)
  • Home Depot - 6% (increase of 3.0%)
  • Drugstore.com - 9.0% (increase of 2.0%)
  • Stubhub - 6.0% (increase of 2.0%)
  • TigerDirect - 4.0% (increase of 1.0%)

The airlines, of course, offer their own shopping rewards portals that reward you with “miles-back” rather than cash-back. A few airline promotions this holiday season include:
