Apps That Pay You, Cashback Programs

MobiSave App Review – Good Cashback Opportunity or Not?

The MobiSave app is one of many out there that you can use to earn cashback on purchases that you make. Its a pretty cool concept and is basically free money…. but the question is whether or not its worth your time? Is MobiSave any good? Is the money you can make worth the time spent? Are there better options out there?

In this MobiSave app review I’ll be answering all of these questions. I’ll also be going over how the app works and how much money you can make with it.

MobiSave App Review

If you don’t already know, I’m a big fan of cashback programs. I mean why not make a bit of extra money back on the purchases you are going to make regardless right?

MobiSave allows you to do exactly this. This place gets paid for promoting the buying of products and passes along some of that money to you. They get paid by brands to promote products and pay you a small amount of this money.

If you are familiar with the Ibotta app, which is one of my favorites by the way, then you probably already know how this process works. But if not I’ll go over it. It is simple to get your cashback.

How It All Works

Ok, so on the app you will be able to skim through products that you are able to get cashback on. You can browse through these by category, search for specific things, or just look at everything that is offered.

Once you find something that you want to buy you then go to the store and buy it as usual. Some products require a code, so you will have to make sure that there is a certain code on them before buying in order to get credit.

Then you upload a picture of your receipt through the app. The app has its own camera feature which makes this very simple and convenient. After doing this you don’t have to do anything else. Once the purchase is verified you will be credited with the specified amount of cashback.

How You Get Paid

Payments are made though Paypal. This is nice because its plain old cash that you can then use to buy anything you want to. Its better than gift cards in my opinion, which are commonly the form of payment with cashback programs like this.

And if you don’t have a PayPal account don’t worry. They are free to set up and it doesn’t take long at all.

Another nice thing about cashing out is that they do not have a minimum cash out amount at the time. Many places like this will require you to have $10 or $20 in your account before you can get it out. But not here!

What Items Can You Get Cashback On?

MobiSave mostly offers cashback on items that you can get at a grocery store. These usually include food items but you will also be able to save on some personal care and household items as well.

There will be some cashback offers where you can buy a product and it doesn’t matter the brand, however, most offers will require you to purchase a specific brand-name. This is common with all of the many cashback programs I have reviewed.

Complaints on MobiSave

Well of course there is always the complaint of not making much money. Its nice to be able to make money doing what you are going to do regardless, which is shopping… but don’t expect to make much in the way of cashback.

Another complaint is that they just don’t offer all that many deals. MobiSave is a rather new app and they aren’t as big as the others out there. This means they don’t have as many offers which means not as many ways to get cashback. This is a complaint that will mostly likely go away as they grow and add more and more to what they bring to users.

One of the biggest complaints is finding the right product. MobiSave requires some products to have a code on it as I mentioned above. This is a special code, that from what I understand, MobiSave has the stores put on for them that allows app users to find the right products. However, you might be able to find the same product but the code isn’t on it, which means its no good.

Conclusion on MobiSave – Should You Get the App?

Well first off.. MobiSave is definitely not a scam. I just want to say this because I know there are always people suspicious of apps like this. They provide a legitimate service and you really can make cashback on purchases with the app.

That said… I don’t think this would be my top recommendation at this point. The Ibotta app just has more offers available and will be able to benefit people more. They also don’t have the ridiculous code requirement thing that MobiSave has. But I’m not saying that MobiSave isn’t good…. they are.

Apps That Pay You, Cashback Programs

Making Money With Ibotta – Should You Give This App a Try?

Ok.. so if you are wondering is the Ibotta app a scam, the answer is no. I like the app and you really can earn some decent cashback on normal purchases at times. Making money with Ibotta is simple. Overall Ibotta is one of my top picks when it comes to cashback apps and programs.

In this review I’ll be going over how the app works, the cashback possibilities, bonuses that can give you some decent money, some downsides and more.

* Read My Updated Ibotta Review Here

Ibotta App Review

The Ibotta App pays people to shop. You can go about your normal online or in-store shopping and potentially earn cashback on your purchases. There are lots of cashback programs out there like Extrabux & Coupon Cabin, but Ibotta ranks at the top of my list.

If you are unfamiliar with how these programs work and a little suspicious of it all then here you go: Brands want more people shopping their products. So they pay places like Ibotta to refer people to buy their products so they can sell more. When Ibotta does refer buyers to a certain store for a certain product, they receive a commission for doing so. And as an incentive to get people to buy the products they promote in the first place they offer cashback.

So brands pay Ibotta to get you to shop and Ibotta pays you a portion of that money. And this is all done without raising prices. You still pay the same price you just get some cashback on top of it.

How It Works

To get cashback with Ibotta you can download the app or just access their site on your computer. Its best to get the app because it makes it a lot easier for in-store cashback. The app is free to download and use. (You can sign up here and enter my referral code heqkmpy to get $10 free in your account)

After signing up and getting the app you will be able to start receiving cashback on your purchases. There are 2 main ways that you can do this. You can receive in-store cash back or online cashback. I’ll go over each.

Online Cashback

This is something that Ibotta has really improved upon. They used to be mainly for in-store shopping but they have really come around and now offer lots for both in-store and online.

To get online cashback its pretty simple. Ibotta will show you all the available online stores that they offer cashback for. You can search for a particular store or browse by different categories if you want to. There are all sorts of places you can shop at in all categories.

Below I took a screenshot of some of the offers available right now to me as I write this. These are their “featured offers” which means they are the best deals at this moment. And as you can see some of the cashback percentages are pretty darn high. You can get as much as 21% cashback here…

When you click to shop at these online stores you will be directed to their sites where you will be able to shop as normal. After that nothing has to be done and your account will be credited with cashback after the purchase is verified.

In-Store Cashback

Shopping in the actual physical stores is what some people like and so do I. Particularly, I like this app for grocery shopping since this is something I always go to the store to do and there are a good number of offers available for grocery items.

To shop in-store you first need to select the store you are looking to shop at. In the example I’ll be showing you I’ll choose Sam’s Club. After selecting the store you will be able to go through all the available offers. You can view all of them, search for certain ones, or browse by section.

Just to give you an example of what you are looking at here, here is a screenshot of some of the “Meat & Seafood” offers at Sam’s Club right now…

As you can see above these cashback offers are for specific brand items, as most are. However, there are also offers that are general. Such as ones where you will get $1 of any brand of milk. This seems to be common for milk and eggs, which is nice because everyone buys these.

The amount of offers there are depends on how big the store is. With a massive store like Sam’s Club there are all sorts of product offers in the Personal Care, Household, Kids & Babies, Pets, etc categories.

When you find an offer that you like you will click the + button next to it and it will claim it for you. Then after you do your shopping you can do two things to get credit for it.

You can upload your reciept through the app which is really simple. Just snap a picture and that is it.
You can link a loyalty card to Ibotta and every time you shop at the store with your loyalty card you get credit

Getting Your Cashback

You will be able to withdrawal your money through PayPal or Venmo, or you can choose to get a gift card with your earnings. They offer gift cards for Amazon, Walmart, Kohls, iTunes, Bed Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, Buffalo Wild Wings, and a lot more.

There is a $20 minimum for most of the different ways to cash out.

Earning Extra With Bonuses

They offer some nice bonuses that can help you earn some extra. These usually include things like “earn an extra $2 when you redeem an offer for (this brand)” and things like that. Sometimes they are nice bonuses. The best bonuses however come from referring other people to join Ibotta.

You can earn some decent money referring friends to join and as you can see I always make sure to complete these bonuses…

If you add all those bonuses up that is $135 just for referring friends to Ibotta. On top of this you also get $5 for referring friends when they redeem their first offer.

Downsides to Using Ibotta

There aren’t really any major downsides to it. Overall its one of the best cashback program out there in my opinion and for good reason.

Some people will complain about there not being enough offers and things like this but if you look at other cashback programs Ibotta is pretty darn good. You aren’t going to be able to get cashback on everything but you can still get cashback on a heck of a lot.

Another complaint that you will hear is not getting credit for online purchases. This can potentially happen and has to do with the tracking code that tracks your purchase getting messed up. This is a complaint you will see for every cashback program out there and unfortunately just happens at times. I personally wouldn’t worry about it though.

Conclusion on Ibotta – Should You Use It?

Well if you do shopping and you would like to earn a little bit of cash back on your shopping then ya I would use it. I don’t see how you can go wrong with getting cashback on something like shopping which we all do already. Using a cashback app is out of the question… if you aren’t using one you should be and Ibotta is my top choice.

The reason I like Ibotta so much is because they are trusted, they have good support if you ever have problems, and they offer good cashback amounts compared to others.

You can go to Ibotta.com here to sign up. Remember to enter my referral code heqkmpy (if its not automatically entered) if you want a $10 bonus in your account.

Cashback Programs, Cryptocurrency

CoinRebates Review – Can You Really Earn Bitcoin For Shopping?

CoinRebates is a pretty cool cashback program that pays in bitcoin rather than through PayPal, or gift cards, etc. With bitcoin on the rise I can definitely see why this program is becoming more popular. However, it might not be as great as you think it is.

In this CoinRebates review I’ll be going over what you need to know, such as how it works, how much you can actually make, some downsides and more.

CoinRebates Review

If you are familiar with other popular cashback sites like Extrabux, TopCashBack, the Drop App, etc, then you probably know how places like this work. They will actually pay you to shop online at ordinary stores that you probably shop at regardless. The reason they are able to pay you is because they get paid by the stores to refer buyers to them. So they get paid when they refer you to the stores and then they give you a small portion of that amount back to you, the buyer.

Whats nice about places like this is that you still pay the same prices on items and get cash back, or bitcoin back, on top of that.

Of course what makes CoinRebates different from just about every other cashback program out there is that they don’t offer cashback…. they offer bitcoinback.

How It Works

When you join this site you don’t have to enter your name, email, or any of that. All you have to do is enter your bitcoin wallet address so that they can pay you. Its very simple and only takes a second to paste it in there. If you don’t have a bitcoin wallet then I would suggest creating a free on on Coinbase, which is also what they suggest.

After you do that you are able to shop where you choose. They have a long list of stores that you can shop at. They offer bitcoin back at all the big places like Walmart, Wallgreens, Target, Expedia, etc. You can browse through all their offers of you can browse by specific category.

Just to give you an example of some of the places they offer bitcoin back for, here are the features stores…

And as you can see they don’t list the amount they will give you in bitcoin, they list it in “bits”. Take for example AliExpress above, they offer 2 bits for each dollar that you spend. And don’t worry I’ll get more into how much this actually is soon.

But anyway… once you find a store that you want to shop at all you have to do is click on it and you will be directed to that store. Then you can shop as you normally do and that’s it. They will deposit bitcoin in your wallet automatically after getting proof of the purchase.

How Much Will You Actually Make?

1 bit equals 0.000001 BTC. So if I go shop at AliExpress right now as I am writing this I will make 0.000002 bits for each dollar that I spend.

Now how much is that really worth? Well of course that depends on how much bitcoin is worth. You might be thinking that you can make some decent money here since bitcoin continues to go up in price but don’t count on it. They will lower the amount of bits they give accordingly, meaning that as bitcoin increases they will decrease the amount of bits given.

So when you are actually doing the shopping here and getting bitcoin back, there really isn’t much of a difference, if any, from other normal cashback programs.

Why Use CoinRebates vs Other Cashback Sites?

The reason I like CoinRebates is of course because they pay in bitcoin. So while 0.000001 btc might not be worth much today, it might be worth a heck of a lot in 5 years from now. With the price of bitcoin going up like crazy this only makes sense.

So while you won’t be getting paid much when you actually get paid your bitcoin, the investment opportunity that you have here is what I like about this place.

Any Downsides?

One downside is that you can only shop online. They don’t offer any way to get bitcoinback through in-store purchases.

Something else is that this site is rather small and you will more than likely have a hassle getting support if you have any problems, as with just about any site like this nowadays.

On sites like this it is a common complaint from people that claim they don’t receive credit for purchases. This doesn’t happen too often but does happen from problems with the tracking code that tracks your purchases. So just be aware of this because it could happen but is not reason to avoid this site.

Conclusion on CoinRebates – Good Opportunity?

CoinRebates is a nice opportunity in my opinion. I do like it better than many of the other cashback sites because it is more of an opportunity to invest rather than just make a small amount of cash.

If you were thinking about using this site then go for it. Just don’t think you will make much. The only real point I see in using it is the hope of the small amount of bitcoin you earn potentially being worth much more in the future.

Something else you might be interested in is Ibotta. It is one of my favorite cashback apps out there and is particularly good for in-store grocery shopping.

If a little cashback isn’t for you and you are looking for more, you might be interested in this program. I’ve been a member since 2015 and make a full-time income online with it now.

Apps That Pay You, Cashback Programs

Dosh App Review – Worth Downloading or Scam App?

Welcome to my review of the Dosh App. If you are thinking about downloading this app and earning some cashback on normal purchases then you are going to want to read this first.

In this review I’ll be going over a few important things that you should know beforehand… things like how it works, how much cashback you will get, complaints and more. If you know me then you know I’m into getting cashback and have reviewed multiple other cashback apps/programs. So I’ll also be comparing it to others so that you know if its your best choice or not.

Dosh App Review

Dosh is a cashback app that pays you a little cashback on ordinary purchases. Dosh is partnered with a bunch of stores, restaurants, services, etc and gives you cashback for spending money with them. They offer cashback for both online purchases and in-store purchases which is really nice.

One of the best parts about this app is that it is extremely simple to use. There is no need to upload receipts of anything like that. They make it easy and hassle-free for people to get the cashback they deserve.

How It Works

After downloading the app for free you will have access to all their cashback deals. As I said, they offer both online and in-store deals.

Online

The online cashback deals are pretty straightforward. You shop through them. You are directed to the actual online store. Your purchase is tracked and you get your cashback.

The online cashback offers are great and all but its the in-store offers that Dosh is really great for. You don’t see many good cashback programs/apps that offer many in-store cashback deals but Dosh does.

In-Store

The in-store deals are location-based obviously. In the app you will be able to view all the local cashback deals. You can sort them by distance which is nice and convenient. The amount of deals you will have available is of course dependent on how many stores are in your area, but generally speaking I would say Dosh brings a fairly large amount of local deals to people using the app. They are definitely one of the better in-store cashback apps out there for this reason.

What is really nice about their in-store cashback program is that you do not have to scan or upload receipts. You will just have to scan your credit/debit card and the purchases made with it at participating stores will be tracked automatically.

Another thing that is nice that you don’t see all that much with cashback programs is how Dosh offers cashback at fast food restaurants. For people who buy fastfood a lot this could be a big deal.

Referrals

Like most of these apps, Dosh will pay you to refer other people to join. You can earn up to $15 (this changes at times) to refer other people to join at no cost to them. If you would like to help me out you can join through this link here: Dosh.cash/join

You will also get a $5 bonus if you use my referral link to join which is nice.

And thank you if you do!

How Much Cashback Will You Get?

There is no set amount of cashback that you will get. This depends on the place you are spending money at. You will find some places that offer 10% cashback and other places that only offer 2%.

I would say that you can generally expect to earn anywhere from 2-6% cashback, which is actually pretty darn good. As I said, I’ve reviewed many cashback programs before… TopCashBack, ExtraBux, ShopAtHome.com, Complete Savings, Less For Me, Drop Rewards App, etc… Usually you can expect to earn 1-4% cashback on most of these sites. So the amount that Dosh pays back is on the higher side for sure.

Once you get $15 in your account you will be allowed to withdrawal the money via Paypal or direct deposit. They are quick about getting you your money.

Complaints

Lack of Stores

For in-store purchases as I’ve said it is very dependent on where you live. If you live in a very rural area this might not be that great for you. But if you live in a city there is a good chance there will be plenty of offers.

And of course when it comes to the online offers there are plenty for everyone.

Doesn’t Work With Every Credit Card

Dosh does not work with every credit card brand out there. As I am writing this they work with Visa, Mastercard, American Express. People have complained about it not working with Discover. This may change in the future however.

Glitches in the App

Then of course there are complaints you will find about glitches that there are in the app. These are inevitable when it comes to technology like this so I was expecting to see this. But overall I would say they do a good job at keeping their app running smoothly.

Conclusion on the Dosh App – Worth Your Time?

Overall I really like what the Dosh App brings to the table. It provides both in-store and online purchases and makes it very easy to receive cashback from in-store ones, which usually isn’t the case. It also offers a good amount of cashback has a lot of offers available for in-store purchases which you don’t see all that much….. So, ya… its a good app.

[thrive_link color=’teal’ link=’https://link.dosh.cash/YCLI/tiX9hpt9lJ’ target=’_self’ size=’medium’ align=’aligncenter’]Download Dosh App Here[/thrive_link]

Another app that you should take a look at is Ibotta. It is one of my favorite cashback apps out there and is particularly good for in-store grocery shopping.

If a little cashback isn’t for you and you are looking for more, you might be interested in this program. I’ve been a member since 2015 and make a full-time income online with it now.

Apps That Pay You, Cashback Programs

The Drop Rewards App Review – Is It Worth Your Time?

Welcome to my review of the Drop Rewards App.

If you are looking to get some cashback on the purchases you make, which you should be looking to do, then the Drop Rewards App is one of many cashback apps out there that gives you the ability to easily do this. But is this app any good? Is it legit? Or is the Drop app somehow a scam that is going to be a waste of your time and put you at risk? In this review I’ll be going over all you need to know…

Drop Rewards App Review

The Drop App is a pretty cool and helpful app, but its nothing new. Its pretty much the same thing as the Dosh app. Basically what this app does is automatically grants you cash back on your purchases. Whats nice about it is that you just hook it up to your credit or debit card and that’s it. It will track your purchases and give you cashback when its able to.

With this app you can get cashback on all sorts of purchases: stores, restaurants, you name it. But you won’t actually get “cash”back right away. You will earn points which can then be redeemed for rewards of real value.

The Point of It?

They don’t tell you on the website but I’m guessing the purpose of this app is to do market research, to track customer spending behaviors and habits. This data that is collected can then be sold.

This is different from your normal cashback programs like ExtraBux, TopCashBack, and Dosh.

This is the reason for most cashback apps of this kind, but again, this is just a guess.

How It Works

Its pretty darn simple. After downloading the free app you will have to link your credit/debit card to the app. To do this you will have to login to your bank online through the Drop App. There are some banks that I’m sure this will not work for but if you are with a major bank then this won’t be a problem.

When you initially link a card you will get 500 points for doing so. For the second card that you link you will receive 2,000 points.

After linking your card you simply go about your normal purchasing as you would do before you downloaded the app. Nothing has changed here. Drop will automatically track your purchases and give you points. The points will not go into your account instantly but you will receive them within 5 days they tell you.

Update: Drop now requires you to either accept or decline offers. This can be a pain and makes more work on your part.

After you accumulate enough points you will be able to redeem them for a variety of gift cards. There are plenty of gift cards that you can get so no on should have a problem here. You can redeem your points for gift cards to Amazon, Dunkin Doughnuts, JC Penny, Best Buy, and plenty more.

How Much Can You Earn?

This depends. You will earn points based on the amount of money you spend and the rates vary greatly depending on where you are spending your money.

For example if you shop at Walmart (right now) you will earn 2 points for each $1 you spend. But if you shop at Sam’s Club you will earn 30 points per dollar. And if you ride with Uber you will earn 15 points for each dollar spent.

It all depends.

Good & Bad

I would say the best thing about this app is that you don’t need to scan receipts or anything like that in order to get your points. That can be a hassle and this totally eliminates it. All you have to do is hook up your card to it and the purchases are tracked.

Of course this opens up a concern with the safety and risk or linking your card to the app, but I honestly wouldn’t worry about it too much. I don’t see anyone complaining about it.

Another complaint is how Drop now requires you to accept or decline offers. It was much simpler when it was automatic but now you actually have to go in and manually accept or decline.

Conclusion on The Drop App

The Drop Rewards App overall is a pretty nice app. Its not like you are to make much but its an easy way to get rewarded for the shopping you already do.

The choice of using this app is up to you. I’m not going to tell you to use it and I’m not going to tell you not to.

Also, since you are into cashback apps I would suggest taking a look at Ibotta, which is one of my favorite cashback apps. It is particularly good for grocery shopping.

If a little cashback isn’t for you and you are looking for more, you might be interested in this program. I’ve been a member since 2015 and make a full-time income online with it now.

Cashback Programs

Is ShopAtHome.com a Scam? – [Honest Review]

Welcome to my review of ShopAtHome.com.

If you are interested in making a little extra money with this site but are hesitant to join and a bit suspicious of it all then you are going to want to read this over first. Wondering is this place legit or is ShopAtHome.com a scam? I will answer these questions and tell you all the important things you need to know beforehand.

ShopAtHome.com Review

ShopAtHome.com is mainly a cashback site where you can earn cash back on purchases you make. They get paid commissions to refer customers to stores and they give people like you and I some of those commissions as incentive to shop through them in the first place.

They are also offering paid surveys now. This means you can also earn money by completing simple short surveys online, which is popular way to conduct market research. They get paid by big companies to do research on the market and once again they pay people like you and I an amount of that money as incentive to complete the surveys in the first place.

How To Earn Cashback

Earning cashback is pretty easy. ShopAtHome.com is partnered with a bunch of big stores all over including Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc. The first thing you will have to do is search for the store that you want to shop at. Once you find a store you are interested in you will see a “shop now” button and you will have to click on that.

You will then be directed to the online store to shop as you normally would. After getting to the store there is no need to go back to ShopAtHome.com or anything. Just complete your purchase as you normally would and you will be credited.

How much can you earn back?

This depends on the actual store, but with most of the big retailers, like those mentioned above, you are looking to earn 1-4% cashback.

There are also local deals where you can earn higher amounts of cashback. These will include all sorts of small restaurants and stores. There aren’t much here though.

How To Earn With Surveys

Paid surveys are a newer feature on this site. It used to be only for cashback shopping but now you can complete short paid surveys and earn money.

These surveys are generally 5-25 minutes long and can be on just about anything.

How much can you make with the surveys?

The surveys offered here are nothing out of the ordinary. They are your typical surveys that you will find on Swagbucks, Inbox Dollars, etc. You can usually expect to earn anywhere from $0.25 to $2 with these.

Getting Paid

When you earn money it goes into your account at ShopAtHome for safekeeping. Once your balance reaches the minimum cash out amount of $20 you are able to claim your money.

You can choose to receive it by check in the mail, Paypal, or by Amazon gift card.

Complaints

Overall this is a good site and there aren’t many complaints. However, here are a few that you should know…

Not Getting Credit for Purchase

One complaint you will find is from users not getting credited for purchases. This has to do with the tracking code used to track your purchase online. Sometimes things don’t work how they are supposed to and this means your purchase doesn’t get tracked.

If this happens, which hopefully won’t, you can get in contact with support to get credit for the purchase.

Disqualified From Survey

You won’t qualify for every survey that you attempt. There is a pre-screening process at the beginning that you might spend a couple of minutes on only to get disqualified. This is a pain but you will find this problem at any paid survey site.

Conclusion on ShopAtHome.com – Worth Your Time?

It depends on what you are looking for as to whether or not this place is worth your time. They are legitimate and you can earn easy money, but it really isn’t going to be much. But then again, when it comes to the cashback shopping you are going to shop regardless, so why not get some money back right?

However, I would probably say that ExtraBux is a better site for cashback shopping. They make things easier than ShopAtHome.com. The advantage that ShopAtHome.com has is that they also offer surveys though. So it just depends on what you are looking for.

Also, you might want to look into iBotta. This is my favorite in-store cashback app. It is really nice for earning money back on grocery shopping and things like that.

And be sure to check out my #1 recommended program for making money online here. I became a member in 2015 and make a living with this program now.

Is Complete Savings a Scam? What to Know Before Joining

Complete Savings is a cashback program where you can earn money back that you spend shopping online. They tell you that you will be able to earn 10% back minimum, which is a very high amount for cashback programs like this. But is this really true? Or is Complete Savings a scam that is just going to be a waste of your time?

If you know me then you are well aware of how I like to look into programs to save/make money online. I have looked into many cashback programs in the past (Less for Me, CouponCabin, Extrabux, etc),so doing a review on Complete Savings was a must. In this review I’ll be going over what you need to know… how it works, how much money you can really earn, how you get paid and more.

Complete Savings Overview

Complete Savings is a cashback program that pays members to shop online through them. You may be wondering where they get the money to be able to pay you and I’ll tell you how.. They get paid from the companies they are partnered with to refer buyers to their online stores. When someone is referred from Complete Savings to a partner store and purchases items they earn commissions. Along with this they are also a paid membership site so of course they are making money from the membership fees. And this is where they get the money to pay you.

Most cashback programs that I have reviewed are free to be members of. Its definitely a downside that you have to pay a monthly membership fee with this site but one thing I will say is that their cashback percentages are much higher than average. So it may be worth the fee.

How It Works

The process of earning cashback through Complete Savings is pretty simple, as it is with any cashback site. Once you are a member you will be able to search through all of their retailers. There are over 750 of them, which isn’t all that much from what I have seen with other sites but its still a pretty good selection.

Once you find a place you want to shop at you will be able to click to shop there and will be sent to their site to shop. After that you will carry on shopping as normal. There is no need to return to the Complete Savings site after that.

Your cashback will be automatically transferred to your bank account. This can take a while to happen though.

How Much Cash You Can Get Back

The 10% minimum cashback amount that Complete Savings offers is very high. Usually when I am checking out cashback sites I expect to see 2 – 6% mostly. So this is very good. They also have special deals where you can earn more than this. 10% is just the minimum.

The problem with this is that you don’t have much of a store selection because it is difficult for Complete Savings to find retailers that are willing to pay them enough to be able to give this kind of money back.

There is a £250 per month maximum earnings limit.

The Cost

They have a trial that only costs £1 but after that you will have to pay £15 per month to stay a member. This is one of the downsides of this site. But depending on how much you shop and where you shop, this fee could be worth it without a doubt.

Complaints

Most of the complaints I have read online are people complaining about getting charged the £15 membership fee. Some people just don’t read about what they are getting into and claim they had no idea that it was going to cost £15/mo to stay a member, while some other people claim that they were charged the £15 initially upon signup, which is a problem. However, I cannot speak for these people and it seems that Complete Savings support team handles mistakes like this well.

Another complaint that I came across, and that you will come across with every cashback site out there, is from people not getting credited for an online purchase and not receiving cash back as they should have. This happens when the tracking code that tracks your purchase gets “messed up”. It doesn’t happen often but there are many reasons why this could happen.

One thing I will say is that they have a very good support team that can help sort out issues you may have. They provide both email and phone support.

Conclusion on Complete Savings – Scam or Worth the Time?

I know there are some people out there complaining that this site is a scam but I see no proof of this whatsoever. This program is legitimate and you can legitimately earn cashback from doing normal shopping online. This site pay higher than any other cashback program I’ve looked into and I have looked into probably over dozen of them. But of course the downside is that you have to pay to be a member.

Whether it will be worth it to become a member just depends on how much you shop online and whether they have stores that you shop at regularly.

Is Less For Me a Scam? – My Lessforme.com Review

Less For Me (lessforme.com) is one of many online cashback marketplaces where you can get money back on normal shopping purchases. And who wouldn’t want to get money back on what they spend right? There is no doubt that the concept here is something that anyone would approve of but the real question here is how good is Less For Me? Is this place any good when comparing it to other cashback places? Or is Less For Me a scam that is going to have you chasing your tale for little reward?

I look into and review cashback sites like this all the time because I love saving and making money. I know there are a fair number of people out there like me that are trying to get as much cashback as possible when they shop. If this is you and Less For Me is a place you are thinking about joining just hold off for a second and let me go over this place first.

Less For Me Overview

As stated above, Less For Me is a cashback marketplace where you can earn cashback just for shopping. The way this works is pretty simple. Big companies pay Less For Me to refer buyers to their stores. So when you go shopping through their site they get paid a commission from the store you shopped at. Less For Me then pays you a percentage of that money they received as cashback. They do this as an incentive to use their site in the first place. On top of that they also have coupons for many of the stores listed on their site.

There are a lot of cashback sites out there. Extrabux, CouponCabin, TopCashBack… just to name a few.

How You Earn Cashback

It is very simple. Of course the first thing you will have to do is sign up. All this takes is about a minute of time to do. After that you will be able to shop at over 2,000 stores that they are partnered with.

When you find a store you want to shop at you will either see a fixed cashback percentage that you will get for shopping there or you will see a dollar amount. Usually its more common for them to give you a percentage back of what you spend.

When you find a store you like you will see a button you can click to shop at that store. Just click that button and you will then be redirected to the stores website where you can shop just as you normally would. Just go about the process as normal and that is it. There is no need to go back to Less For Me’s website to do anything.

You won’t get the money in your account right away. It can take around 30 days or so for you to actually be credited for the purchase. When you are credited the money will be put in your account and after you reach a minimum of $25 in your account you can cash out and get your money.

How Does This Place Compare to Others?

If you live in the United States then Less For Me isn’t all that great. They do not partner up with many of the big stores here in the states and that is a big downside. For example they do not offer cashback for Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and many others. But if you live in the UK and other countries it seems to be better.

As far as the cashback percentages go this site is right around the norm. For most of the bigger stores you will find 1-4% cashback generally although with some stores you will find 10% and higher.

Many of the places where you will receive higher cashback percentages are service sites (example: hotels.com) and software companies (example: AVG & Avast Antivirus).

Complaints

Lack of Stores

As I just said, this depends on where you are located. There are over 2,000 places you can shop at but in some locations these aren’t commonly shopped at.

High Payout Threshold

Reaching $25 before you can cash out might take awhile. Of course this depends on how much you actually shop but compared to other sites I have reviewed this is pretty high.

Long Wait Period

This is common for cashback sites. They have to wait until they get paid from the store you shopped at before they give you the money. Waiting 30 days is a long time but its no reason to go out and look for other cashback program.

Conclusion on Less For Me – Scam?

Less For Me is definitely not a scam. They provide a legitimate service and you really can make cashback on normal purchases through this site. They are good but as for me they aren’t my first choice. If you live outside the US then go ahead and look more into them, but if you live in the US then places like TopCashBack and Extrabux are much better due to the larger amount of store choices you have to shop at.

Also, you might want to read my review of Ibotta. This is my favorite in-store cashback app. It is really nice for earning money back on grocery shopping and things like that.

Is CouponCabin a Scam? My Personal Review

CouponCabin is one of many coupon/cashback saving sites that you can use to save money and earn money back on your purchases, both online and in-store. But is it worth joining this place? Or is CouponCabin a scam that is going to be a waste of your time?

If you don’t already know, I love to test out new ways to save and make money online. Its a hobby of mine. And when I don’t need to put any extra effort into making some extra money, that is as good as it gets. So I had to take a look into CouponCabin to see if its any good. In this short post I’ll be reviewing this program and going over a few things that I think it is important to know.

CouponCabin Overview

CouponCabin is a savings program that is free to join and anyone can use it to get coupons and cashback on purchases that they make. They are partnered with over 3,000 stores that you can shop at and get these coupons and cashback.

Both online and in-store coupons are offered, mainly online ones.

Overall the cashback percentages offered here are decent but nothing phenomenal. Extrabux and TopCashBack seem to have better offers.

How It Works

Once you become a member of CouponCabin you can start getting cashback right away. To do this you will go to their website and search for the store you are interested in shopping at (alternatively you can get the CouponCabin app if you have a smartphone).

You can search for a store directly by using the search box or you can search by store category. Once you find a store you want to shop at you can click on it to view all the details about offers that store is currently having. This will tell you the cashback offer, the coupons available and any restrictions on using the offers.

Using cashback is as simple as clicking the “shop now” button and being directed to the store to shop as you normally would. Using coupons you will have to enter the coupon code at checkout.

How Much Can You Save?

This all depends on the store. Some stores offer very high cashback percentages while most of the big name stores have lower offers. Here is an example of some of the offers available right now as I write this…

These are decent cashback amounts and I would actually say they range on the better side from what I have seen from other cashback sites, but they are nothing too special.

As for the coupons there is no telling what you might save. These vary a lot and you can find some pretty good deals.

Getting Paid

Once you have a balance of $7 you are eligible to get your cashback sent to you. You can choose to receive it via PayPal, check, e-gift card, or by Chase payments.

Personally I like to use PayPal because of the speed of the payment but the choice is yours.

The Browser Extension

CouponCabin has a browser extension that makes things easier for you. It is available for Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, and FireFox. Basically what it does is alerts you when you are online if there is a chance you can get cashback or use a coupon.

So if you go on Walmart’s website and forget about getting cashback, this will alert you and make it easy to save.

Complaints

Not really much of anything to complain about here. I mean after all, you are getting cash back for free. So whats to complain about?

There is actually one complaint that you should be aware of. And this is not receiving cashback as you are supposed to. This is a common complaint from every cashback program that I have reviewed and unfortunately it is pretty much unavoidable.

The problem is that the tracking code that tracks your purchase will get “messed up” and will not relay the purchase information back to CouponCabin as its supposed to. This is rare but it could happen.

Conclusion on CouponCabin – Scam?

CouponCabin is definitely not a scam. Overall they are a decent cashback/ coupons site. Their cashback percentages are decent and they offer a lot of coupons. One of the things I really like is that they also offer in-store coupons, although not much.

~~But I would still give 1st place to Extrabux at this point. They seem to offer higher cashback and their browser extension could not make it any easier.~~

Update: BeFrugal is what I would place at the top of my list. They offer good cashback, have a good reputation, there are lots of stores to shop at, and more. You can read my review of BeFrugal here.
