It's VERY simple. Whenever I want to buy something online I just go to Rakuten FIRST and then I type the store I want in their search box and click their link to open the store in another tab. I've earned my most cashback last year by shopping at Kohl's, Walmart, and Macy's. Also, when I book a vacation online with sites like Orbitz, Hotwire, Travelocity, etc I will make sure I go through Ebates.
When it's payout time you can get 20% more cashback by choosing to be paid by an e-gift card to stores like Old Navy, Kohl's and more. Other options for getting paid is by good old fashion check and PayPal.
