Cashback Sites

I'm not going to discuss this in depth as I'm not actually a pro at this...but a while ago I asked about this concept via Twitter and I received a huge response - people who'd saved for a whole holiday through these sites. So I'm going to give it a go. 

It's hard, as you have to almost re-train your brain to remember to go through these sites but once you're used to it, it's second nature. And it does mean you have to sign up to a whole new set of sites...but I have never-ending streams of junk anyway!

Top Cashback sites (free to join):

1) Quidco - retailers include Next, Asos, Debenhams, M+S, Tesco (and you can get it as an App, too)

2) Top Cashback - retailers include Expedia, Argos, O2

3) R Points - retailers include Boots, Boden and M+S

How do you make money? It's quite simple, very similar to affiliate schemes most bloggers are on. Certain companies pay these cashback sites for drawing customers through their sites (Quidco has almost 3 million members), and the cashback sites then pays you a part of this commission. You can use on sites like Marks + Spencer, or Asda, where you might do your weekly shop online anyway...so why not give it a try? I'll let you know how I get on, too.

  1. My husband got me on to this! We've just moved house and have saved over £250 between argos furniture and virgin packages. Amazing!

    1. This is so good to know! I feel I have to retrain my brain though, to start shopping!
