My experience using Ethbates

I wrote about Ethbates a few weeks ago.  At the time, I hadn’t used it yet.  Of course the nugget was that they had Amazon listed as a partner.  Ever since the Jetblue portal went on life support, there hasn’t been a good way to earn cashback via Amazon shopping.  The instructions say to do this to earn on Amazon:

Please follow these directions to receive crypto back for Amazon:

  1. Click on the “Go to Store and Earn Crypto”
  2. Purchase your items at Amazon.com
  3. Screenshot or email us your order invoice to hello@ethbates.com.

So that’s what I did.  I forwarded them the order email from Amazon and after 9 hours or so, I got an email back from them:

Hi Vinh,
Thanks for shopping with Ethbates.  Please allow up to 72 hours for after you item ships for your pending BUY to show up in your account.
It was for a used router from Amazon warehouse for $242.  All of that was done on a Friday.  By Monday, I saw 7278.90 pending in my account.  Yes this was only 3% instead of the posted 5%.  Then a few days later, Amazon was removed from their site.  Then then tweeted me saying it’d be back, so now it’s back with these terms:

I still don’t quite know what to buy with my BUY tokens.  I figure I’ll load them up and figure it out later.

  1. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could
    connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one
    or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  2. I don’t think they are tracking correctly. I’m supposed to get 5% back with home Depot and it took up to three weeks to track with me opening up multiple tickets. When it finally tracked its not 5%. I really want to use them but it’s too much hassle compared with other portals .
