EBATES!     In 15 days I have made $90 in cash and $30 is pending travel.      You start at the EBATES website and simply shop like normal online.  The referral link within Ebates makes you money. How it's legit:  1) Amazon says "hey EBATES send me people to shop"  Ebates loads up the % back and posts it.  You start on the Ebates webiste and click the Amazon link, it sends you to Amazon KNOWING you will earn cash back.  2) You shop on Amazon like normal (be sure to stay in that referral link) and BAM % back in your EBATE account the next day.    It is THAT easy!  *** Note: There is a Chrome Extension that follows you when you are online, so if you go to Amazon without starting on EBATES, it knows and will show you a pop-up "do you want to earn % back thru EBATES?  Click here to activate" 3) Cash is sent to your Paypal account (or paper check) every quarter.   This alone pays for our spending money for our Thanksgiving Cancun Trip.    Here is my sni

Ok Ninjamoms, you know me...I will give you the good and the bad. We spent Thanksgiving week 2018 there, 7 days.    My kids are 8 and 4.   Note most all inclusive resorts have the same amenities, all you can eat/drink, high shelf liquor, 24 hour room service, etc. I will be touching on the things we LOVED that set Moon Palace Grand apart from the rest.   YES: 1) The rooms are huge!  We had an adjoining family suite- 1 King bed in one room, 2 Doubles in the next.  Jacuzzi in both rooms,  large bathroom...  it was literally too big.  2) Mini bar w/FULL hard liquor pour spouts (hello Captain and Coke all day everyday). They will bring you wine/champagne if you ask for it.   (as always travel with dollar bills for tips) 3) The food on site was probably the best I have eaten in Mexico. 4) You have access to the other 2 resorts on the property (Sunrise and Nizuc).  Sunrise has a Japanese restaurant (hello Sushi) (photo below) And you take a quick 3 minute bus ride from lobby to
