6% Cash Back on Lego through Mr Rebates
The best % I've seen since I signed up. Easy to use, and cash back is on top of anything Lego has to offer.

TFTL, however 6% is pretty generous, before I sign up would you share any hidden stuff, nobody gives anything for nothing!
So they must be getting something, mailing list, bombarded with advertising or WHY?
What's the catch?
Cheers Graham
I've earned over $200 cash back since I joined 3 years ago. Normally they only offer 2% at Lego, but since it only takes me an extra 10 seconds to shop through them rather then just going to Lego direct, and since my average order with Lego is $100--I can spare 10 seconds to make $2.
I'll just create another email account "justin case"

In most cases, you go to mrrebates/ebates and find the store you want to shop at. You then click on that store to create a tracking ticket. You are then taken to that store but if you look at the URL you will see some extra stuff which is the referral coding. This guarantees that your purchase will be credited to the rebate site and more specifically to you as a user of that site.
Sometimes I'm paranoid that the tracking ticket won't work right. I generally go to the online retailer first, say, LEGO S@H and fill my cart. Once I'm happy with my selection I then go to ebates and initiate a ticket to S@H. Then I click cart and checkout. That way I don't inadvertently click something that cancels out the ticket.
And it works with the LEGO VIP club too. Here's an example: Purchase $75 from S@H and get free shipping. You'll also get 75 VIP points (what's that worth, $3.75?). You'll also get a percentage back on the full amount of the purchase (minus shipping if you don't hit that threshold). In the case of mrrebates that's an extra $75 x 6% = $4.50. Ebates used to offer 1% back on LEGO but LEGO generously increased that to 2.5% on a permanent basis. Might have to do with being the second largest toy company in the world. :-)
With ebates you have to earn $5 by the quarterly payout. Otherwise it gets held over to the next quarter. I am paid via Paypal and don't have to do anything. Their customer service has been splendid and the whole idea is sort of a no-brainer. Essentially, stores are willing to give away a little bit of money in order to encourage you to shop there. It's like a year-round discount program.
I've used ebates for LEGO and Target mainly. The discount for TRU is a measly 1% and I try not to shop there on principal anyway. Yoyo.com routinely offers 4% back and Kmart and Walmart are available too. The only wildcard is Amazon which has some pretty good cash back but usually not on toys.
You could certainly be a member of both sites and take the best deal at the moment for wherever you're shopping. I've chosen not to simply because I don't spend much online and don't want my quarterly payments to take 9 months to accrue to the minimum by spreading my spending out. But if you spend a lot online it would make sense to sign up at both sites and take advantage of the best deal when you're ready to shop. Katie gave her mrrebates referral ID. If you'd like to use ebates as well you can click http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=uCGQ2WdJaZgUHBRjPw1TqQ== to credit me as a referrer.
I hope this wasn't tl;dr. :-)

I think what they have done is set up with TLG's affiliate program (which anyone COULD do - with enough business) - Nudge, nudge, wink, wink Lawrence!!
I'm glad you had time to write a book this morning
One thing different with Mr. Rebates is you can request a payout (whatever manner you prefer--paypal or check) whenever you have reached a $10 balance. You can submit your request at anytime and it will get sent out at the first of the next month. It takes 3 months from the date of order to be available, so that is a bit annoying at first, but if you spend on a consistent basis then after awhile you always have something coming in.
Katie
Happy shopping y'all!

This is on top of:
Free shipping
Free set if you spent $99
Free $10 gift card if you spend $149
and VIP points
If you're going to make a purchase anyway, why not save even more.

This is also open to international buyers as far as I can tell.
I got in on the triple points as well - very nice - comes up as 21% off and a free set with each order!
Graham
I don't see names, just email addresses. But that's awesome that you were able to use it to save even more. I just realized that I can save money on my airline tickets as I usually shop through expedia or cheap tickets, and didn't even think about using mrrebates. 2-3% off on a $1,000 transaction, and that starts to add up.
Thanks for using me as a referrer.
Katie
Oh, and as a side, note--this is absolutely awesome. I made a purchase recently for $101.70 and spent $95 of VIP points on that order. My total ended up being $6.70--NOW get this, when I got me rebate on that order it was for $6.10 for an order value of $101.70. So, my VIP points that I redeemed did not affect my rebate.
Oh, YEAH!
