How to get eBags cashback, step by step
- Open MaxRebates's eBags page and click through to eBags from there. That click is what ties the order to your account, so start every eBags order this way rather than from a bookmark or a search result. The rate as we last read it was 3%.
- Shop in that same tab and session. Don't leave for a coupon site and come back, and turn off any other cashback or coupon extension before you check out: the last click before the order is the one that gets credited, and another extension's click can take it.
- Check out in one go, using only codes MaxRebates itself shows for eBags. A code from somewhere else can void the cashback on many stores.
- Wait for it to confirm. Pending for 90 days to cover store return policies, cancellations and commission collection; it often takes up to 90 days for cash back to become payable, depending on the product and the merchant. Returning part of the order, or cancelling it, changes what gets paid.
- Get paid. MaxRebates pays by: Check or PayPal, in US dollars, and sometimes other options such as a donation to charity. Minimum: $10.00 per payment, with a $2,000.00 maximum. Timing: On request, once the cash back is payable. A PayPal payout should arrive within 7 to 14 business days.

How these eBags numbers were produced
- Read directly from each portal's own merchant page, never copied from another comparison site.
- A rate we could not read is reported as unread. It is never converted into a zero, and a failed check never overwrites a previously good number.
- "Up to" and new-customer-only rates are labelled as such and are not allowed to win the top spot over a lower rate that everyone actually gets.
eBags cashback FAQ
Which portal pays the most for eBags cashback right now?
MaxRebates, at 3%. That's the rate a returning shopper gets, which is how the table ranks: an "up to" ceiling or a new-customer rate never takes this spot over a lower rate everyone gets.
How long does eBags cashback take to pay out?
On a click-through portal there are two waits, one after the other: the portal has to confirm the order with eBags, which mostly tracks eBags's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying eBags's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
