D. Get Up to 30% Cash Back Automatically!
The final thing we want you to do before we send you out there to shop, shop, shop is to start making money!
Yes, you read that right. Making money. Before you start spending it.
Here are three great FREE programs that will give you Cash Back on your purchases - that’s right, Cash Back by check or PayPal!
These are the top three we’ve picked out of dozens online – we know you’ve seen those other ones, too. Based on our own shopping experience, the three below offer a fantastic selection of shopping options, have a great track record as businesses and we trust them to pay us on time. Trust is very important, because you want to be sure you’ll get your Cash Back! Some of those other programs have made us wait a year!
We average hundreds of dollars per quarter Cash Back just by using these links (and that doesn’t include free shipping and other discounts and perks like Stackable Couponsand Deal Layering that we talk about in other posts). If you want proof, we’re happy to supply information from our own accounts.
How does this work? Simple. Stores pay these sites to send you to them. The sites turns those commissions into cash back rewards by giving some of the commissions right back to you. In cash. No forms to fill out, no strings attached.
Make $5.00 instantly: CLICK HERE to Join Ebates!
Our favorite Cash Back site is Ebates. You can get Cash Back and coupon discounts at more than 800 big-name online stores. As long as you log into Ebates first, each time you make a purchase, you accumulate refunds – and they keep track of them for you. This is just an example, but if Nordstrom has 18% Cash Back one week, and you spend $200, Ebates will deposit $36 in your account! Just for shopping at one of your favorite stores!
Another Cash Back website that we use and trust is ShopAtHome.
Like Ebates, ShopAtHome also gives you $5.00 for signing up (isn’t free money great?!). They have 2,000+ stores and lots of services, including catalogs and discounted magazines
Both Ebates and ShopAtHome pay quarterly. As of May 2008, ShopAtHome only sends checks – Ebates sends PayPal payments and we like that better because it’s faster but that’s just our preference, they’re both good programs.
So now, you’ve got $10 just for signing up with Ebates and ShopAtHome, right? And soon you’ll have more money pouring into your account from your everyday shopping. Sweet.
Now, here’s a unique program because it saves you money on your eBay purchases!
It’s free to join, and like Ebates and ShopAtHome, they pay Cash Back on your online purchases; it’s an easy way to save a lot of money. Plus, on your eBay purchases, they pay you up to 36% of the Seller’s fees! Here’s the link to sign up and start saving on your eBay purchases.
Here’s how eBay Cash Back from BigCrumbs works:
Let’s say you buy a $100 item on eBay. Whoever sold you that item has paid several different Seller Fees – for this example, we’ll use a total of $27.84 (it can be expensive to sell on eBay!). Once you’re a BigCrumbs member, click through their website (that creates your tracking ticket), and Big Crumbs will give you back 36% of Seller Fees – in this example, that’s $10.02. You’ve gotten 10% Cash Back for clicking a link! Please read BigCrumbs’ FAQ to be sure you do everything correctly (and because the costs to eBay vendors change from time to time, make sure to check their Seller Fees page).
Shopping Secret about these Cash Back Websites: Make a list or look over your receipts to see the types of items you purchase and that will help you figure out which of the Cash Back Websites are best for you. They are all free to join and participate in, but since they pay once you’ve collected a certain amount of Cash Back it’s good to start out with one or two, just like with frequent flyer programs or Rewards credit cards.
