How To Get Cash Back When You Shop Online

If you follow these steps every time you shop online you will save and make money! Interested? Okay here we go!


Step 1: RetailMeNot and Coupon Chief

Coupon Chief has over 50,000 coupons for over 15,000 stores! See my post all about Coupon Chief for more information on how you can submit coupons that you find and make money when someone uses them!

RetailMeNot.com has thousands of coupon codes for 65,000 stores listed in an easy to find search tool. Just search for the store you want to shop at. For this example, let's use Macy's. After a quick search I found a code for 25% off my purchase. It tells me the code is 25OFF. Write it down.

Step 2: Visit a few Cash Back Sites and see who is offering the best deal. My favorites are EbatesShop At Home, Big Crumbs, and Mr. Rebates

I would suggest signing up for all four sites. You can comparison shop them to see who has the best rebate and it only takes a minute.

All of these sites work the same way. 
  1. Before you shop online go to the Cash Back Site you chose first. For our Macy's example, I found that three of the four were offering 5% back. So I will choose Ebates.
  2. Find Macy's on Ebates and click to the Macy's website through Ebates
Step 3: Decide what you want to buy and enter the coupon code you found in your cart. 

Let's say our Macy's purchase was $100. The coupon code we found will save us 25% so our total is now $75. Complete your purchase. Make sure you don't click out once you have clicked in through Ebates. Wait until your transaction is complete. 

Step 4: Wait for your rebate! 

You just made 5% of $75. It may not seem like much now, but trust me it will add up FAST!

You will get a rebate from Ebates every three months. So they add up fast. The other Cash Back Sites also work in this way. The rebate will go right to PayPal or you can have a check sent to you.

It is so easy and I have saved - and made - a lot of money shopping this way. I hope you found this useful! Happy Shopping! :D
