Amazon rebate sites are tools you can use to launch your products using the rebate technique. This means: you launch the product on the rebate site, customers purchase your product and you send the money back to them in exchange for the purchasing + a review.
Table of Contents
These platforms are designed to offer rebates on Amazon products, helping sellers increase their sales velocity and rankings while providing buyers with attractive discounts. We'll provide an overview of each platform, including their key features, pros and cons and overall rating based on user feedback and functionality.
As we always warn when dealing with a rebate content, remember that Amazon penalises rebate practices, as they consider you're trying to game A9's algorithm (and you certainly are!).
As usual, enough talk, let's go
Vipon
Vipon is the category leader, with +2M registered customers waiting for your rebates, deals and discounts. It's a go-to for budget-conscious Amazon shoppers. Vipon offers regular updates on new deals and easy to navigate and claim offers. However, discounts may not be as high as direct rebates from other sites but, hey, they're the leaders.
Pricing starts at $100 / month with up to 3 promotions per market and unlimited coupon delivery.

Rebatekey
RebateKey is known for its reliability and a broad selection of products with attractive rebates. It's a favorite for both buyers looking for deals and sellers aiming to increase their product exposure. However, if you are an Amazon customer looking for rebates, you must know rebate processing can sometimes be slow and that they don't always approve all the rebate proposals.
Rebatekey's platform is really easy-to-use and the claim process is 100% secure. For the buyer the tool is free, while the seller must pay $2.95 commission per sale. Same pricing that Rebaid, as it's their direct competition.

Snagshout
Snagshout is a rebate and cashback site where you can find up to 100% discounted products. But, on the other hand, they have limited high-value rebates compared to some competitors. Why? Because, simply, the leaders are Vipon, Rebaid and Rebatekey so you may wanna check the alternatives. However, Snagshout pricing is higher than it's competitors, as it's $5 + 6.0% per confirmed order. But it's free for customers.

Conclusions
Each of these Amazon Rebate sites offers unique benefits and some limitations. Your choice will depend on whether you're a buyer seeking great deals or a seller looking to promote your products. Honestly, there is not one of this services that we would trust 100% as they're made to game the algorithm so it's a risk for your account.
If you're asking us which one's best we would say Vipon because, if you're considering rebating, they have +2M customers.
Platforms like Rebaid and RebateKey are excellent for high-value rebates, while Vipon and Snagshout are great for a wide variety of deals. Viralix / Juice.deals is particularly useful for sellers looking for additional promotional services like their email marketing tool or the keyword booster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which rebate site offers the highest rebates?
Rebaid is known for offering some of the highest rebates, sometimes even up to 100%.

Yes, these platforms are generally safe for both buyers and sellers, but it's always advisable to read through their policies and user feedback.
Can sellers directly influence their product rankings through these sites?
While these sites can help increase sales velocity, which indirectly impacts product rankings, they should be used as part of a broader marketing strategy.

Do these sites offer international deals or are they limited to specific markets?
Most of these sites focus on the US market, but some also offer deals in other regions. It's best to check each site for their specific market coverage.
Can my Amazon Seller account get suspended if I use rebates?
Yes. I already discussed this here:
So, from my expert perspective, I'd wtick to Amazon Vine and Viral Launch as a Jump Send alternative. Why? Well, while the appeal of broad customer databases and the prospects of accelerated sales is tempting, it's imperative to weigh the risks, especially concerning Amazon's stringent policies. I can't recommend to any of my clients or readers to play russian roulette with it's business. So, it would be prudent to continually monitor Amazon's policies and adapt strategies accordingly.
Amazon has a solid view on this kind of sites and they consider them as a violation of the Seller Agreement, so use them at your own risk
However, we consider it a violation of the Amazon Seller Code of Conduct if off-Amazon rebates, discounts, and other schemes are designed to drive customers to products that are listed and sold without those incentives on Amazon […] Specifically, it is a violation of the Amazon Seller Code of Conduct to manipulate search rank to artificially boost your products’ search ranking, including through ‘two-step urls,’ ‘super urls,’ ‘funnels,’ ‘treasure hunts,’ ‘search-find-buy,’ and any other form of false or misleading behavior. A service by any name that’s intended to artificially boost search ranking or portray a discounted sale as full-price, is a violation.
