Make the most of your Cyber Monday with cash back sites!

November 28, 2010 by

Cyber Monday is just around the corner and many stores are jump starting their Cyber Monday sales today. Make the most of your online shopping this holiday season by using a cash back site!  It’s nice to get some cash back on purchases you’d be making anyway!

The two sites that I use most often are Ebates and Shop at Home.  The way that both sites work is very similar:

1. When you are ready to shop online, visit Ebates or Shop at Home and look for the retailer on their site (they have 100s of retailers and pretty much the only one I haven’t found that I use regularly is Amazon). When you click through that store’s link, it will create a “tracking ticket” and then take you to the retailer’s site.

2. Once you get to the retailer’s site, complete your purchase just like you normally would.

3. Within a few days, you should receive an e-mail letting you know that your “cash back” has been credited to your account.  It can take up to 30 days before your cash back credits to your account.  Make sure you keep a copy of the order confirmation that you received through e-mail.  In case you don’t receive credit for your offer, you can contact their customer service and provide them with your order confirmation, and they will credit your cash back to your account.

Which “cash back” site is best?

I like to get the most for my money, so I usually visit both sites and look to see which site is offering more cash back.  From my experience, typically Shop at Home offers higher cash back amounts, but Ebates sometimes has double cash back offers that can’t be beat

Both sites are currently offering a $5 bonus if you sign up:

Ebates ($5 bonus when you make your first purchase or $10 gift card to Home Depot, Beauty.com, Red Envelope, or Magazines.com)

ShopAtHome Banner
Shop at Home

How does payment work?

Ebates sends cash back payments every three months as long as you’ve earned at least $5.01 cash back (excluding any bonus payments).  Payment can be made via a check that they send directly to you or via Paypal.  Here is the payment schedule:

*February 15th (for purchases posted between October 1st and December 31st)
*May 15th (for purchases posted between January 1st and March 31st)
*August 15th (for purchases posted between April 1st and June 30th)
*November 15th (for purchases posted between July 1st and September 30th)

Shop at Home sends cash back payments on a monthly basis when you must have earned at least $20 (this includes your sign on bonus and any referral bonuses).  Right now, they only pay by check, and they send the check to your home address.  Here is the payment schedule:

*January 31st (for cash back earned by November 30th)
*February 28th (for cash back earned by December 31st)
*March 31st (for cash back earned by January 31st)
*April 30th (for cash back earned by February 28th)
*May 31st (for cash back earned by March 31st)
*June 30th (for cash back earned by April 30th)
*July 31st (for cash back earned by May 31st)
*August 31st (for cash back earned by June 30th)
*September 30th (for cash back earned by July 31st)
*October 31st (for cash back earned by August 31st)
*November 30th (for cash back earned by September 30th)
*December 31st (for cash back earned by October 31st)

Will I get a bunch of SPAM/junk e-mails if I sign up for these sites?
I have been with both sites for awhile now and haven’t had any problems with junk e-mails.  I usually get one e-mail from each site weekly highlighting the top deals and any bonus cash back offers.

I have received payment from both sites, so I can assure you that they are “legit” – if you have any questions, let me know!

Have you checked out Groupon yet? It’s a great way to save big on gifts this holiday season!

Right now, when you enter the code SLICKSAT in your Groupon account, you’ll get a $1 Groupon credit on your account. Here’s how you enter your code:

1. Log into your account here (or create one if you don’t have one already)
2. Click on “My Stuff” and then “My Gifts” and “Redeem a gift card” Enter SLICKSAT in the box and if the offer is still valid (it went quickly last time), a $1 credit will appear on your account!

(Thanks Jane!)

Here are some of my favorite Groupon offers today: (these are “universal” offers so even though they are offered in a specific city, you can use them online or at stores everywhere)

$10 for $20 Worth of Decadent Sweets at Chocolate.com:  This offer is available in Salt Lake City

$10 for $25 Worth of Nuts, Dried Fruit, and More from Nutty Guys – Their gift trays would make great gifts during the holidays or would be great to use for entertaining, too!  I bought one for myself and gifted two others yesterday (this is the limit).  This offer is listed in Sioux Falls.

$20 for $40 worth of Books from Simon & Schuster’s Online Store:  This offer is available in the Houston market

$10 for $20 worth of holiday cards or photo books plus four free accordian desktop calendars at Kodak Gallery:  I found this offer in the Salt Lake City market (if it doesn’t show up as the main offer, look to the right)

Get the Entertainment book for $12.25!

November 27, 2010 by

We love the Entertainment book! Each year I look for a deal on it and it more than pays for itself within a month or two because of all of the great coupons, including Buy One, Get One free offers!

Right now, the Entertainment books are on sale for 30% off.  Then, Shop at Home has a 50% cash back offer for Black Friday.  So, with the 30% off and the 50% cash back, you end up spending just $12.25 for the Entertainment book.  The regular price is $35, so that’s a great deal.  Shipping is free, too!  Please note that the price of the book may be slightly higher or lower because pricing varies by area.

Here’s the breakdown of how you can take advantage of this great offer:

1.  Log into your Shop at Home account here.  If you don’t have a Shop at Home account, you can create one here (you will get a $5 sign-on bonus, too!)

2.  Once you are logged in, click on the Black Friday bag on the main page.  Shop at Home has bonus cash back offers this weekend in honor of Black Friday and you have to click on this bag to see/take advantage of those offers.  The cash back offer for the Entertainment book is 50%!!

3.  Click on the Entertainment Book link from Shop at Home.

4.  Once you get to the Entertainment Book page, enter your zip code at the top to pull up the book for your area.  Click on “Buy the Book.”

5.  Complete the check out process.  A page will pop up that says “Annual Renewal program.”  Make sure the box is not checked for this option.  If you check this option, you will save $5 today, but they will automatically send you a new book every year.  If you do that, you will pay full price for the book in future years and you don’t want that!!   Be careful because it pops up again on the screen where you put your payment information in! (I only issue all of these “warnings” because one year I actually signed up for this by mistake!)

You’ll pay $24.50 for most books today and get $12.25 cash back from Shop at Home (you will get $17.25 if you are signing up for the first time because of your bonus!)  If you are not familiar with Shop at Home, check out this post here for more information.
