About RebateInformer?
RebateInformer, also known as RebateGiant, is a browser extension designed for use with Internet Explorer. It functions by monitoring the websites visited by the user and searching an extensive affiliate database for available rebates and coupons relevant to the products being displayed in the browser. The plugin identifies and analyzes the websites visited, aiming to uncover potential deals associated with the merchant's product offerings. If a relevant deal is found, RebateInformer will apply an affiliate code to potentially earn affiliate-based commissions in the event of a purchase. Additionally, the plugin strives to offer the best price for the specific product or present alternative options, even if they are offered by different merchants. It is worth noting that RebateInformer includes bundled software, such as the Inbox.com Toolbar for RebateInformer, during installation.
