Title: Cashback from many online retailers
Post by: TheBoy on 16 February 2009, 13:39:57
This has come up on another thread, thought it may be beneficial to mention it here.

Sign up via the Discount Shopping link in my signature, and start earning cashback on those online purchases you would make anyway.  I've used a few cashback sites, but this one seems to work the best for me.

I make a fair amount on the 40% of ebay's commission when I win auctions/Buy it Now.  OK, this is 2p for a 99p win, or 14p for a 2.99 win, but it all adds up.

I have had £14 for signing up to the free lovefilm trial (and cancelling before the 30 days are up), not to mention seen the films they sent me ;D

If you think it will be useful to you, sign up.  I'd appreciate it if you signed up via my link below, that way I get £1 once you have made your first £5 saving, but you can sign up directly with the site if you wish.

No spam from them, just 1 weekley newsletter (think you can opt out, but I read it, as it has a few 'easy money' tips).

In the 6 months I've been using it, I've made £70 in cashback :)


OK, I get £1 once you've saved your first £5 if you sign up via the link in my Signature, but thats not the reason I mention it.  I have made nice savings, and hope fellow OOFers can too :y

I will sign up ofcourse..... :y

I feel i must mention a cash back firm called Quidco....these people for me are outstanding.

Made a couple of hundred just by changing energy suppliers...taking a contract phone out and signing up too a couple of sites.

All of which i would have anyway regardless.

I wont post a link as im not saying its better than TheBoys link just an alternative...a bloody good one at that. :y

Yup, there are a few different sites.  I posted this one as it was the best for me.  Also, most people I've introduced have also made good financial gains from it.  Worth shopping around to see what suits you, and nothing wrong with signing up to a few (I have) :y

dunno, you'd have to try it, unless to get nectar points you go in via their site.

Personally, I like the cash, I have a few 10s of thousands of nectar points, but never anything tickles my fancy

The link I've tested is tried and tested by myself, not heresay.

I have a shell credit card (though Citi are bloody useless) and a Shell loyalty card, so get double whammy at shell.  I have an Asda CC, but they are reducing discount from 2p to 1p per litre next month.

I have tesco cards and nectar type cards - Mrs TB nicks all clubcard points though! "You eat it, you can pay!"

Try the link I said - no harm having both. Generally, I find mine to be slightly better (but check, as not always) :y

I'm making over £1.50 a week just by doing some pointless irrelevent searches daily ::). Gives me something to do on those long, irrelevent conference calls ::)

These ones do seem to take a week or so to show up on your CBK list, and come in in bunches.  Not convinced every one I've done has tracked either, but its still free money :y
