If you were to search the web for these types of sites you would come across a bountiful. It’s unrealistic to utilize more than you can handle. For one…it becomes time consuming when you are trying to find the better site to click-thru….and time is money and a whole lot more for mothers, fathers, and people who have a full plate already. Secondly, even if you found a site you haven’t used, and decide to sign up with, you must think about how often you would utilize that particular site. If you don’t think you’d utilize it often enough…then the money in your account would sit there for some time before you would be eligible to cash it out. Where as, if you consistently use another site the money would add up faster making it so you could cash out on your saved money earlier and getting it back in your pocket.
All of the sites below, are websites where you go to their website, find the store** you are wanting to purchase from, and click on the store through that website.
**Not all stores are on all sites, and some aren’t on any, and yet; some offer a higher rebate/points per dollar than other sites do. It’s worth doing your homework to see which site will give you the most bang for your buck.
Some of the sites give you additional ways to earn points either by reading their emails, searching the web, using their toolbar, or taking surveys. Some offer coupons.
There is a site I have recently discovered. It’s called
cashreporter.com. This site will do the work for you when comparing what site offers what for cash back. All you have to do is type in the website you are looking to make a purchase at, and if it’s on a cash back site, the search will pull up which cash back sites you’ll receive cash back thru
and the amount that site offers for cash back.
My suggestion to you is if you don’t belong to any of the sites below, familiarize yourself with each site below, sign onto them all….doesn’t matter if you’ll never use the site down the road….just sign on so that when you do use cashreporter.com your already registered at each site…saving you a lot of time in the long run and you’ll be well informed of each site’s policy beforehand.
If you don’t want to sign on with them all, I can tell you from experience, the sites I use the most often are Ebates, Mr. Rebates and My Points b/c they offer more stores it seems than the others and their cash back seems to be higher than the others for the same stores I shop at. Now, if you have a Discover Credit Card…Cash Reporter references their cash back program quite often I’m finding. And, Discover’s program seems to offer a higher cash back percentage than any of the major sites (ebates, Mr. Rebates, My Points…the sites that have been around the longest) listed for cash back.
These are all sites I have utilized with success 🙂
Cashbaq:
This site automatically sends you your money when you meet the cash out requirement.
My Points:
Mypoints.com offers many opportunities to earn points, which can then be redeemed for different items, including gift cards. When shopping (clicking) through their site to the store you are making your purchase at you will earn points for each dollar spent. Points per dollar vary from store to store. I recommend downloading and using the My Points toolbar as you earn points for searching the web through their toolbar. Opting in to receive their emails (you must click on the advertisement in order to receive credit) will earn you 5pts each or more if you sign up for an offer. Printing and redeeming coupons each month will earn you points. I have cashed in points for itunes gift cards and restaurant cards without incident. At the time of this positing (1/15/11), I have over 32000 points available to cash in on when I am ready to. The points truly add up fast if you work the program.
Ebates:
Shop any of the websites on their website to earn cash back on your purchases. They pay. I have received checks in the mail and money into my PayPal account over and over again. This is one of my favorite click-thru sites. Each day they have a store which offers double cash back.
Become a Swagernaut!
It’s truly fun to be a Swagernaut! Download their toolbar or search directly from their site to earn Swag Bucks. Swag Bucks can be redeemed for prizes from a multitude of categories, including gift cards. They also can be used to enter “Swagstakes” -their sweepstakes. I love this site…I love hunting for swag codes :-). The home page of this site, near the bottom of the page, has their widget. The widget makes it easy to find out if there’s a code out there up for grabs. As an alternative, I have the widget placed at the bottom of my blog. I personally haven’t cashed in any of my swagbucks but I do have a close friend who does so all the time, without incident
I use this site regularly. In fact, it was my favorite for clicking thru during the 2010 Christmas season as it was giving back more on my dollars spent at the stores I shopped.
