Rebatest Online Shopping Review

Rebatest Online Shopping Review

We are no stranger to chasing after the best deal.  We’ve tried all sorts of online rebate websites and we have those that we really like and those that we feel like are a total waste of time.  So when we were asked to give an honest review of one of the newest platforms, Rebatest, you can imagine how excited we were to get in and get our hands dirty on this site and see what it was all about.

Rebatest is a platform that will take all of  the sellers rebates, the best deals, coupons, discounts and connect them with people who are willing to buy the item, use the product and then submit order number and a product report and  back to the seller.  Once the seller has gotten the product report and confirmed back to Rebatest that it was received and completed as agreed upon, then the rebate which in some cases is up to a full 100% of the purchase price is given back to the buyer.  The money is put into their Rebatest cash account on the platform and they can transfer it to their PayPal account and get their money.  

It’s a no-brainer way to purchase items that you already were planning to purchase or wanted to buy, and essentially get them for free.  All you have to do in return is fill out order No. and a product report and offer your honest opinion about the item and how it works.  It is a great way for sellers to be able to test out new products and get the products into the hands of more people.

Before I join any online rebate platform (the list is long and varied) there are some quick criteria that must be met.  First, they have to be free to join.  I’m not going to spend my hard earned cash to buy into some program and then hope that they actually pay out.  Not happening.  Rebatest passes this one.  It’s free to join and free to use.  Second, they have to have a low amount for incentive/rebate payouts.  Some sites out there will make you wait until you have $100 or more in your account before you can get a payout via check or PayPal.  That’s not cool.  How long would it take to get to a $100 balance and how many products would I have to buy to get there?  No thanks.  Luckily Rebatest has no barrier in the account before you can transfer.  That’s not hard and I can transfer money anytime and anywhere.  The third criteria that must be met is earning reward points must be easy to do and make sense.  You would not believe how many sites out there make earning points so complicated you can’t even figure out how many points you have or how many random videos need to be watched or how many surveys need to be filled out in order to earn points.  If it’s too hard or too complicated I’m not doing it.  I’m also a busy person and don’t have seven hours a day to sit around and fill out long, complicated surveys through a bunch of other sites that also require me to set up an account and sign up for something else.  No thanks.  I’d rather not earn any points than do that.  Rebatest also passed that criteria.  Their point system is simple and easy to understand.  Here are a few ways you can earn points on the platform:

Add your phone number to the account, follow the rebatest Instagram and facebook pages, update your user name, share rebatest on social media, sign in on the web daily, convert your sent out invitations to an order, subscribe to a rebatest newsletter, submit a trial report, make a purchase on Amazon, and register on the site.  All of these things are simple and easy to do and don’t require hours of time wasted doing things that make no sense.  Boom!  Done!  Easy peesy.  I like easy.  I can do easy.   I have time to do easy.  

As far as signing up for an account on Rebatest is concerned, that was easy too.  It took just a couple of minutes and even the most technologically un-advanced person could do it.  The platform is easy to use and user friendly, which is something I appreciate when using a site.  Navigating the site is easy and the site looks clean and fresh instead of looking like one of those sites that were poorly built or have a lot of small print on them that makes it confusing and hard to navigate.

As far as the product selection is concerned, it’s awesome!  So many of those other sites have just a few products to select from and half of them are things I’d never buy or want to try.  Or, they are products I have never heard of from some no-name company that I don’t trust or recognize.  Not so with Rebatest.  In fact, I found a $55 pair of Under Armor running shoes that were offering a 100% rebate to try them.  I already know and love Under Armor running shoes and merely needed to replace a pair that I already have that are worn out.  You can bet that’s one of the products that I am going to “test” out and then review.  No brainer.  In fact, I’m pretty jazzed to start doing a lot of my Christmas shopping on Rebatest to see how much of my Christmas shopping I can get done for free basically.  Not everything offered will give a 100% rebate, but they are still offered at a discounted price that is better than what I would be paying otherwise.  The key is to just purchase things that you were planning to purchase or wanted to purchase anyway.  I’m seeing things on the site that are steeply discounted and will save me money by going through Rebatest instead of other channels.  

We should add here that before you can apply the product, you register and log into your account. This is an important step in verifying that you are a real person and not a robot.  Then once you have done that, the seller can approve your application to try their product.  Once they have approved your application then you can purchase the item on Amazon and submit your order number first.  You will always submit your order number first for confirmation from the seller before you submit your trial report.   

Once you have gotten your product and tried it out, you will need to submit your product report for verification.  This could be a fairly time intensive and complicated process, but not on Rebatest.  They have made it easy, intuitive and simple to submit your product report.  To do that, you can either follow the instructions that will be emailed to you (they are concise step-by-step instructions) or you can also log into your account on Rebatest and go to your user application panel and submit your trial report directly.  After you have done that, then you are done.  Now you just have to wait for the rebate to be applied to your account.  Also, it should be noted that Rebatest has some safeguards in place to protect the rights of both the sellers and the buyers.  They want to protect everyone against fraud and the ability for buyers to buy a product from Amazon, receive the rebates from Rebatest and then return the products back to Amazon for a refund from the seller.  We know, we wouldn’t have thought to do that either, but some people are cunning.  So Rebatest will deposit the sellers rebate in advance so that buyers know that the rebate is in fact there and they must withdraw it within 30 days.  Also, once rebates have been withdrawn, the items can not be returned to Amazon for refunds.  This policy will help protect against these fraud situations and protect everyone involved.  We think it’s pretty smart.   

It’s as simple as that.  Now all you need to do is find the next great bargain for the next item you want to try out and report on.  It’s a simple process that can be repeated over and over again.  Also, remember, you can make as many transfers to your PayPal account as you want.  There are no limits for transferring your Rebatest account balance to PayPal and you can transfer anytime and anywhere..  

Again, we have tried lots of different rebate sites before, and honestly, most of them are hard to use, difficult to navigate, sparse on products that can be tested and reviewed and not worth the time spent trying to get the discount, rebate or reward points.  We didn’t have that experience with the Rebatest platform.  As we stated before, the platform is easy to use and navigate, the product selection is vast and varied, signing up was easy and user friendly and the login member portal once you’ve signed up is also straight forward and easy to navigate.  There is not a lot of headache and time spent trying to earn reward points and the whole experience was quick, easy and worth doing.  If you are looking for products to buy at a discount, review, test or get for free once you get the rebate, then you will definitely want to try out the Rebatest platform.  You will be so glad you did.
