Get paid for shopping!

Do you purchase clothes online?  Do you insure your house/contents/car? Do you buy presents online?

If the answer is yes to any of the above, are you a member of a cashback website?  Cashback websites exist to refer shoppers to a wide range of companies and in return they get a referral fee which they then pass on to you, the shopper.  It adds an extra click to your shopping, but so far I've earned £980 in cashback from Top Cashback for purchasing items which I'd have bought anyway.  

For example, I booked a hotel room via Top Cashback for a city break.  I'd already checked which was the cheapest website for my intended hotel, clicked through via Top Cashback to Expedia, booked the hotel, gained £75 in cashback and Nectar points into the bargain!  It takes approximately 11 weeks for this to become payable, but hey, not bad for something I'd have done anyway!

You can choose for your cashback to be paid into your bank account by BACs, Paypal or you can request payment in Amazon vouchers, or such like.  In the past, I've used cashback for a treat which we wouldn't have otherwise had, new cutlery, rail travel to see friends... the possibilities are endless!

As you can tell, I'm really quite evangelical about cashback websites.  We have Avios credit cards too, so we do our shopping by paying with these - more rewards for our shopping!
