There are two main goals of the Mr. Rebates' Mobile website listed below:
Shopping
The main function of Mr.
Rebates' Mobile is the Shop page where a selection
of name brand stores that have been certified for cash back tracking on a
mobile smartphone optimized store.
As a Mr. Rebates' member, you
simply login to your Mr. Rebates'
account here on the mobile site, navigate to the
Shop page, click on a cash
back store and make a purchase. Cash Back will be reported just as it
does on the Mr. Rebates' main website.
Account Management
Mr. Rebates' Mobile also includes an abbreviated
My Account page that helps Mr.
Rebates' members quickly check their cash back rebate totals on the go.
You can also Request Payment via check or Paypal for your convenience.
Many stores that are listed on the main Mr. Rebates' website either do not have a mobile friendly
website and/or do not track the cash back correctly due to the different technology that smartphones use.
Mr.
Rebates' Mobile has identified the top stores that have both a mobile
friendly site experience and track cash back correctly when a purchase is
made with a smartphone.
We understand that mobile shopping can be challenging due to the size of a
smartphone and the typing needed to checkout of a mobile store. Here
are some tips to make things a lot easier when you shop on mobile websites:
Mobile Shopping Tip #1
If you have time beforehand or frequent a certain store, register with
the mobile store on your desktop PC and create a username and password that
saves all your information.
Typing in your information on a desktop
PC is much easier and faster than typing it in on a smartphone and after you
enter it once, you will not have to type it in again with your username.
For example, if you were shopping at the Gap
mobile store, you can login with your Gap account you created on your desktop
PC and have all your checkout info appear instantly upon checkout thus saving
lots of keyboard entry time.
Mobile Shopping Tip #2
Make sure you have the "Autofill"
option turned on in your mobile browser so that your checkout information can
easily be populated in the mobile browser based on information you have
already entered in the past.
For example, on the iPhone Safari
browser, you can enable "Autofill" by going to the "Settings > Safari" option
and turning on the "Autofill" option.
Mobile Shopping Tip #3
There are also some handy
apps that store all your personal, password and credit card info in a secured
way. These apps populate your mobile browser with that personal
information when you checkout of a mobile webstore.
A good example of
a password manager app is called Roboform and is available
for both the iPhone and Android phones.
Some stores will prompt you to download their official apps when you navigate to their mobile website. Please note that cash back tracking is only applicable to the store mobile website and not their downloadable app. Bottom line: Use the store mobile website and not their app for cash back purposes.
