How does the Rewards-bar work?

The Rewards-bar is a shopping toolbar that pays you back when make purchases online. When you download and install the Rewards-bar on your computer, a toolbar will be placed at the top of your browser (similar to a Yahoo! toolbar). This toolbar will allow you to find the products and services you’re looking for and earn rewards points when you make purchases.

Rewards-points are earned whenever you make a purchase through any Rewards-bar merchant. As your rewards-points grow you can redeem them for gift certificates at leading merchants like Amazon.com, Target, eBay, Barnes & Noble and many more).

However, rewards-points do vary from merchant to merchant, some allow you to earn more than one point for every dollar - spend $1 dollar and earn 12 rewards-points. To see how many rewards points you will earn from any purchase, before making the purchase, simply select the "earn rewards points" pull down menu in your rewards-bar and pick a merchant.
