His Majesty cashback
We continue to talk about non-obvious methods of saving on purchases in the USA, which allow you to save 1-2 ( and sometimes 5-10 ) thousand rubles just out of the blue. And today we will talk about cashback .
Cashback translated from English - money back. Actually, the whole point is in this - you just get a part of the money back for the purchase. You don’t need to do anything special for this - just go to the online store using the link of a special aggregator.
Most popular cashback sites:
In addition to them, there are other services, but in this article we will focus on these two giants. Ebates, by the way, has already entered the Russian market, so now you can safely consider both the Russian version of the ebates.ru website and the American ebates.com .
In short, the head of everything here is marketing, or rather, its area where shops, in order to increase sales, pay money for attracting new customers to their partners ( in this case, cashback services ). Thus, sites like rebates and ebates make money by telling you about the best deals, coupons and discounts. And if you, thanks to their recommendations, make a purchase in a store, they get their reward. Well, so that you do this systematically, and even be grateful, they share part of the reward with you.
Therefore, the scheme here is completely simple and transparent: they went to Ebates> found the right store with a certain percentage of cashback> switched to it from the Ebates website> bought what they wanted> the store received its reward and partly shared with you. This is how cashback looks, if you explain it quite on the fingers.
Profitable? Of course. But for some reason they use it criminally little, while the interest on return is sometimes very serious.
Please note that cashback applies to all products ( unless otherwise specified in the conditions ): new, old, or even discounted!
A good example that we usually give when talking about cashback:
Having formed the habit of purchasing abroad, it is good and useful to find various really interesting ways to save.
If you buy a lot and often, you can choose everything at once; if rarely, it is worth stopping on one thing. Why? Here we get to one important aspect: the payment procedure for all such sites is unusual.
By registering, you will receive your account and account on which all the funds that the store pays for you will be collected. They can be withdrawn only after a certain time. Each service has its own policy in this regard. At Ebates, for example, payment can be received 4 times a year, and the minimum amount for withdrawal is $ 5.01.
Moreover, there are no pitfalls or traps here - if you have not withdrawn money, they will lie and wait until next time.
Cashback can be obtained either on PayPal or by check. The latter option is suitable for those who want to use this money to pay for shipping, since we cash out such checks without a fee and credit money to the user's balance.
The technical side of the issue and recommendations in Russian are described here .
As a conclusion, it remains to add that getting a cashback in the West is a normal everyday habit of any adequate person. This allows you to save and stimulate sales. If you live in Russia or any other CIS country, or anywhere else, this does not mean that you cannot use all the advantages of foreign online stores and services. Today, purchases in America and the full use of all additional helper services are available to everyone and everyone! Therefore, demand your legal cashback from all stores where you make purchases, and save on this.
Enjoy the shopping!

What is the catch and why does someone voluntarily return the money?

A good example that we usually give when talking about cashback:
Let’s take a cool Backcountry sports store, which accepts Russian cards and sends goods to mail forwarders without any problems. In it you will always find a good assortment of the legendary Canadian down jackets Canada Goose. For a minute, according to the manufacturer, there are no discounts (unless the store is generous on its own initiative). But these down jackets cost decently: in the region of 700-900 dollars. And now, if you bought such a down jacket today, you would save $ 70-90, even though "there are no discounts on these down jackets." And all because Ebates today returns 10% from any purchase on BackCountry .
