How to Beat The Recession With Nothing or Less Than $100 - Part 1

Putting Cash into Your Pocket With Cashback and Rebates Sites


When it comes to the subject of money, common sense is uncommon
-Robert Kiyosaki


To be financially savvy is to be able to control your finances, making utmost use of available opportunities to cut down your expenses and taking advantage of some rather ludicrous offer from companies. Honestly, I rarely go shopping without checking with cashback sites if there are offers I can use to get some cool cashback on my normal expenses.

It is one of the sure ways of squeezing out few cash from what should ordinarily be your expenses. Shopping for bargains need not be an activity we should be ashamed of doing. If you could add up what you expend every month and calculate what you could also be saving if you had taken up the offers, rebate, cash back and promotions out there, you will realise that successful people are not only good at making money but also excellent at cutting cost when they can.

Yeah right, cashback and rebate sites might not make you super rich! Yet they will definitely put some free and easy cash back into your accounts. After all, we can all do with some free quid here and there at these trying times. Few cuts of $5, $10, $20 and even $100 here and there on your normal expenses can easily pile up to some bunch and you are free to do whatever you want to do with them. For instance, a particular user of a cashback site earned a whopping £1,191 on payments and purchases he would nonetheless make even without the cashback.

So ask yourself what you could do with a cheque of £1,191? Take that holiday cruise you have always wanted? Shop till you drop at some of the shopping malls around (and earn more cashback)? Upgrade or renovate that side of your home you have always wanted to do? Settle that disturbing credit card debts? Have a swell night out with loved ones? Take the children out for nice day out? Perhaps the list has no limit.

To get hold of what I am saving or if you like my earnings on my expenses, I opened a simple savings account, get it registered with some of these cashback sites and they credit it at every payment period with my earnings/savings. Not necessarily withdrawing from it I can tell you that it is adding up gradually and that Caribbean cruise holiday I had promised my family is much closer that before. You can even earn extra cash by opening this savings account through the same cashback sites.

Perhaps, it is appropriate to warn here that cashback or rebate offers are not necessarily cheaper than non cashback offers. You will have to do some calculations to confirm if taking up that cashback offer is worth more than the non-cashback alternatives. However, the beauty of registering with more than one cashback sites is that you have very wide range of options to choose from. For instance, the four cashback sites listed below cover more than 5,000 stores and retailers in UK, US and Canada.

Below are few of the cashback sites available on the Internet:

1.
GreasyPalm.co.uk
2.
Topcashback.com
3. Cashback Kings.com
4.
MyPowerMall.com
5.
Ebates.com
6. BigCrumbs
7. Rpoints.com

Once again, the aim here is not to get you super rich but rather to help in reducing your cost and earn you some cash from expenses you would not have been able to escape from. However, if you desire to be very serious about these websites and what you can earn, then be ready to get blown away with the amount of money you will be making. I am saying this from my own personal experiences because I am making some cool, almost free cash.

Cynics and fools are twins on opposite sides of reality and possibility. Fools will believe any far-fetched scheme and a cynic will criticize anything outside their reality - Robert Kiyosaki
