You shop online right? Me too, but do YOU get cash back online on virtually every shopping purchase that you make? I do...I use the sites listed here! Every time you shop online be sure to check out these cash back sites first because you can earn cash back of up to 25% just by clicking through to the merchant via their listing in these shopping directories. These companies earn commission for referring you, you earn cash back from them for buying the things you were going to purchase anyway, everyone's a winner! Don't think that there are only obscure merchants you wouldn't be interested in shopping at either because you'll find you can get cash back at hundreds of household names like Barnes & Noble, Office Depot, GAP, Hallmark and many more brand-name companies. All are free to join and all will save you money, it's just like using a shop's loyalty card scheme except you can do your online shopping and get cash back at hundreds of shops rather than just the one so watch those rewards rocket up!

iPoints

UK only. Ipoints is the UK's largest internet-based rewards programme with over 60 partners and 15 reward categories covering more than 200,000 items for members to choose from. Ipoints is primarily a shopper reward site but with numerous extra features which make earning points a doddle. In many ways the scheme works like your supermarket clubcard - you shop online as you were going to anyway but if you click through from the ipoints site when you do so then you earn points which can then be spent at a large number of different places like Amazon and CD-WOW. The major difference with ipoints however is that you can also earn points without spending a penny by signing up to newsletters, taking trial offers, by responding to surveys and polls, clicking banners...amongst other things! It is very easy indeed to accumulate reward points here and is highly recommended to British shoppers. Go there or read more here.

Ebates

Mainly US only, although there are a few international options. Shop through one of the 400+ shopping sites in the Ebates online shopping directory and receive cash back and rebates of up to 25% on your purchases! You also get $1 free simply for signing up and making your first discounted purchase so there really is nothing to lose. Tell a friend about the great savings you are making on all the goods you were going to buy anyway and Ebates will give you $5 when they sign up and make their first purchase as well! You will also find special offers, discounts, coupons and companies offering to pay you to sign up to their offers so there is a lot going on here which can save you money. Ebates is one of the longest running cash back shopping portals online and still one of, if not the, best in the USA. Residents outside of the USA can join as well but most of the shops listed have a very strong American bias so you might be better off looking elsewhere. Go there or read more here

TheMutual.net is a stock market floated consumer club which rewards its online shoppers with cash back and discounts on their shopping at major stores and gives them shares in the company for each transaction made. Everyone who signs up automatically gets a fantastic 1000 shares in the company absolutely free and as registering costs you nothing at all it's definitely worth checking out because that's basically free money and you don't actually have to do a thing! Not convinced with the idea of free shares in a dot com? The share price doubled in 2002...'nuff said maybe. ;o)

MyPoints US/Canada

United States/Canada only. Like ipoints, this is primarily a site which offers cash back on your online shopping but in addition there are many other point earning opportunities which can mean those rewards really do mount up fast. Points are earned by shopping once more but also through responding to emails, visting websites, signing up to newsletters, registering with websites, answering surveys nad other miscellaneous activities. This is one of the biggest and best reward sites and effectively you actually don't have to spend a penny to earn points either! Go There!

MyPoints - UK
