Cashback for Everyday Items
Most people are familiar with the basic concept of ‘Cashback’. Basically you purchase something and in return receive a small amount of cash back. The most popular form of cashback is via a credit card where you will credited a small percentage of the money you have spent on your card. Typically this is betwen 1-5% and is usually capped as well.
Well you can now adopt the same principle to anything that your purchase online for FREE! There are quite a few ”Cashback” websites around, but there is one that clearly stands out from the crowd is TOP CASH BACK.
Register free for an account and just purchase the things you would normally buy via their website. Once logged in you can search through a massive list of online retailers such as Dell, eBay, M&S to name just of few of the major ones. Next click the link on the TopCashBack site to direct you to your chosen retailer, then simply buy the items as normal. Once your transaction is complete the cashback earned will appear on the TopCashBack website and once cleared can be withdrawn into either you bank account, Paypal account or posted as a cheque.
The actual payment process is still dealt with the actual retailers (i.e. Dell) and not TopCashBack, so there is no concern for online fraud. Additionally anyone who signs up for a FREE account with TopCashBack will also receive from me an e-book about shopping safely online for absolutely nothing.
This really is an excellent site for saving money on a wide variety of everyday purchases like food from Tesco’s, entertainment from Game.com to one off purchases such as car insurance from Admiral or Esure.
In 2008 I used the site periodically, mainly for larger items such as travel insurance, a laptop and other gadgets, and received £130 in cashback. This year I am so pleased with this service that I have now set the TopcashBack site as my homepage and installed their toolbar so that absolutely everything I buy online will be done via TopCashBack to maximise this completely free Money Saving Concept.
I will be posting more on this topic soon to show how you how to get the most from TopCashBack and also how you can boost your account without purchasing anything, so check back soon or sign up to my blog for notification.
Below is a screenshot of my TopCashBack account summary as proof the money is has saved me so far in 2008.
