Sites That Reward You For Shopping

If you do a lot of shopping online you will want to take a look at the sites below. Some will give you a certain cashback or rebate amount back for clicking on links through thier webites. And were not talking just mom and pop places either. Big names are in there such as Best Buy, Old Navy, Sears, Macy's and many more. So take a look at the ones I review below and choose one or two or three for yourself.

MYPOINTS

More than just a shopping portal MyPoints gives you points instead of cash. You can then turn those points into free gift cards for big retail chains such as Target or Borders. But you can also accrue points through a variety of other methods. One such method is recieving and clicking on emails you recieve (just open a free email account specifically to do this). You'll normally get 5 points for each click through. Then if you complete and offer or sign up for a service you get more points. You can also complete surveys to get more points. The opportunities are endless. A great site with lots of ways to get those points. I have been a member since 1999 and have recieved all items requested.

EBATES - Join Now and Get $5 deposited into your account right now!

This website gives you a percentage back of the total you spend at a website. Simply join, search for the store you want to buy something at, click on the link in ebates, and buy something at the store you searched for. That's it. Ebates tracks the amount of what you purchased and gives you cash back on the total. The amount you can get back depends on the store but I'd say you'll average around 5%. They pay by check or paypal. I have been a member of Ebates since 1999 and have recieved all the cash payouts I have requested. I absolutely love this site.

CASHBAQ - Also offering $5 for new members

I just recently joined this site so I can't give a review on the performance of the site other than to say that they gave me $5 for signing up. The reviews of the site I read online were all positive though. This site works in exactly the same way as Ebates and actually offers a higher % back than Ebates on some stores.

MEMOLINK

A MyPoints clone that I just recently joined. You get points for things you do on thier site, shopping and in emails then can turn those points into giftcards. They seem to have plenty of opportunities to get points especially if your willing to take surveys or shop.

BIGCRUMBS

This is another rebate site that gives a percentage back. The cool part of this site is that you can sign up as a crumb saver or crumb earner. Crumb savers earn cashback on what they buy and what the people they refer buy. Crumb earners also earn cash back on what they buy at stores (less a % back than savers) and on what the people they refer buy, but they also earn on their referrals referrals so the potential to earn more is greater.
