Ebates.com reports that its combined mobile apps usage has seen an increase of nearly 500% year-over-year. Earlier this year, Ebates.com released a 2014 Mobile Shopping Survey that discovered nearly half (45%) of Americans shop from a mobile device. The research found that among the most popular items the nation buys when shopping with a mobile device, clothes ranked at #1 (51%), followed by books at #2 (39%), music at #3 (34%), shoes at #4 (31%), and games at #5 (27%). Additional Ebates survey data shows that more than one third of the country (37%) plans to use cash back shopping sites to receive money from all online purchases this holiday shopping season, and more than one quarter (26%) say they use their mobile shopping apps to compare prices while in stores.

The Debut of Mobile Monday

Ebates launched its first Mobile Monday promotion on November 24 to overwhelming success. Tens of thousands of shoppers downloaded the Ebates app on their smartphones and tablets and spent an average of $148 shopping at the stores included in the promotion. Today's promotion features approximately 30 leading retailers that will be offering up to 20 percent cash back to all Ebates app shoppers on the top stores.

In addition to Mobile Monday, Ebates is offering special promotions to save on holiday purchases throughout the month of December. Shoppers can download the free Ebates.com app at Google Play and the App Store.
