Using Cashback Apps and Websites Wisely



There are quite a few advantages to using cashback apps and websites, namely saving money on everyday purchases. The apps have different types of offers like percentage-based, flat-rate, or bonuses that they give you when you buy a specific product or shop at a certain store. The money you get back on things you are have to buy anyway can add up over time. You can stack these deals with other coupons, discount codes and promotions that you find elsewhere which will save you even more. For example, if you have a credit card that offers 2x points on groceries and you have a coupon for $1 off of each of the 5 different products you plan to buy in an app, it is like double dipping. Many of these sites and apps are free to download and use which make them easier to save money.


The cashback apps will usually ask you to scan your receipts or link an email or website so they know that you bought the product. Meanwhile, the online cashback websites a lot of times will have you go through their portal or link that leads you directly to the specific store you want to shop at to purchase something there (i.e. a new pair of pants). There may be coupon codes on the cashback websites that you can use to get your item at a discounted rate. It is listed as pending until they verify that you bought the item and that you didn't return it.
