     1. Ebates. Ebates is doing an excellent job of bringing you great rebate rates. They have increased their rates for many merchants over last year, and with various short-term promotions and the Tuesday double cashback merchant promo, shopping through Ebates is better than ever. Ebates pays by check or PayPal quarterly, with a $5 payout minimum. You can get a $5 bonus by joining and making your first purchase.

     2. FatWallet. FatWallet had a very impressive showing again this year. While they offer rebates for fewer of the merchants on my chart than Ebates. FatWallet pays rebates to your PayPal account with no minimum, after a waiting period of 3 to 4 months to allow for returns and adjustments. They're also offering an extra $5 bonus for first-time shoppers.

     3. Jellyfish. One of the newest rewards programs, Jellyfish is establishing itself as a true competitor this year. . You can request your Jellyfish rebates by check or by PayPal, any time your account reaches $10, after a 3 to 4 month pending period (like FatWallet).
