Sneak peek – Check our press release early

CANADIAN INTERNET STARTUP SOARS PAST 10,000 MEMBERS

Canadian shoppers cash in with Great Canadian Rebates

GreatCanadianRebates.ca — the first Canadian website offering cash back rebates for online purchases — signed up member number 10,000, just 15 months after launching its service.

 

 

“This is a phenomenal accomplishment for us, and it also means a lot of Canadians have much more money in their pockets,” said GreatCanadianRebates.ca co-founder Mathew Pearce. “It’s a bonus on top of the best deals on the web.”

 

In fact, one member in Surrey, B.C. has saved $2,519.84 so far, Pearce said. The biggest cash rebate on one purchase totaled $203.13 on a $6,100 sale at Canadian Tire. The average member has been using the website for six months and has earned $35.18.

 

Members earn cash back rebates when they sign in and make purchases on retailing sites through the GreatCanadianRebates.ca site. Each company offers a specific amount in cash back rebates in terms of a percentage of the total purchase or a fixed amount. Most merchants offer rebates in the 3% to 10% range, but some retailers offer as much as 50% in cash back rebates. American Express is offering $30 for applying for its credit card.

 

Canadian favourites like Chapters.Indigo and Canadian Tire, along with global giants like Apple, Expedia, Sony and American Express are just some of the more than 300 retailers offering cash back rebates through GreatCanadianRebates.ca. Pearce said members have spent the most money at Dell Canada, Canadian Tire and WestJet. Members using GreatCanadianRebates.ca and Expedia have saved more than $12 on every hotel room booked though the site.

 

The site is free to consumers and is simple to use. Cash back savings are paid to members bi-monthly via PayPal or cheque.

 

Pearce said 48% of GreatCanadianRebates.ca’s customers are from Ontario, 13% from B.C., 10.9% from Alberta and 7.8% from Quebec. The service has customers in every province and territory in Canada.

 

GreatCanadianRebates.ca also has a blog keeping members up to date on the latest deals being offered. GreatCanadianForum.ca allows members to share insider knowledge and compare deals.

 

GreatCanadianRebates.ca is 100% Canadian-owned and operated and has been profitable since shortly after its launch in April 2006.
