Cashback Programs – Get Paid to Shop Online, I got back $400!

June 4, 2010

If you’re an online shopper you must sign yourself up for the cashback programs. I have received $400 over three years, that’s $400 you’re missing out on!! How it works it you get a percentage of your purchase back in the form of a check through the third party program. You must click on the link in the third party’s site for it to redirect you to the actual site you will make a purchase from (ie: Nordstrom, Sephora). These sites are able to pay you with a portion of their commision that they get from the stores that you make a purchase from. Depending on the third party’s agreement with the retail site your cashback percentage varies. For this reason I am signed up for a few cashback programs.

Also, if you’re an ebayer there’s a cashback for you also! By using Bing cashback as you can see my $80 purchase at Sephora.com (12% cashback) gave me back about $15 so that makes me purchase really $65. It’s almost like I have a Sephora discount code to use.

The ones I use are in the order of what I believe give the best cashback are: Continue Reading »
