Whether you’re shopping, buying gifts, signing up to insurance & banking products or making any purchase online, there’s a way to make money on those purchases using internet cashback websites. Some retailers pay up to £100 cashback – think of how much money that saves on a product or service you were going to buy anyway!

Better still, it’s possible to get cashback without even needing to spend; those who are dedicated can make £100s a year.

How Do Cashback Sites Work?

It’s really simple – Set up a free account with cashback sites such as Shop Money, log-in and then click on the product you’re interested in. When you make a transaction such as buying something, it’s recorded and you’re paid cash for doing so.

Why Do They Pay You?

Cashback sites take advantage of the way payments from one website to another work. They list product retailers, and when you click through to the websites, they get paid for ‘providing leads’ – in a similar way to how most web-adverts and affiliate marketing programs usually work.

Yet with a cashback site, when you’re logged in, the revenue raised from your click is attributed to you so the site can pay you some of the money it receives for the lead.

The Top Cashback Sites

TopCashBack :: One of a few sites paying out 100% of the cashback it receives – Most of the other 100% payers keep the first £5 you earn a year; it doesn’t.

CashBack Kings :: Set up by Rpoints – a reliable cashback website – Cashback Kings was created to compete with the 100% payout cash back sites and is easy to use and runs smoothly.

Shop Money :: Shop Money is a well established UK based cashback website which offers one of the best rates of cashback currently possible. The site is very well designed and easy to use, and has thousands of members already using the site to earn cashback on their Internet shopping.

New Year, New Goals to Make Money Ideas

This is some great news about a ticket I raised when I took out a life assurance policy with Direct Line through Greasy Palm. Although the amount tracked ok, the cash was not paid into my Greasy Palm account as I had requested. However, Greasy Palm have now paid be the missing £42.50 and I’ll be getting it next month! Here’s a run down on what happened.

My original transaction was in March 2007. I got a standard automated reply:

Message: Hi Daniel,

I will look into this for you.

I then addded a reply in April 2007 and got this message:

We have now contacted the retailer and asked them to investigate your missing cashback for this transaction.

Please allow up to 60 days for a manual credit to be added to your account, we are reliant on the retailers responding to our requests and some take longer than others to process our queries!

As soon as the retailer confirms that cashback is due we credit the funds to your account.

Thank you for using GreasyPalm.

In June 2007, with no reply, I added my own reply to remind them of this. This is what I got in return:

All I can do is this: I have to put a lot of work in to try and get you your money. This is what I will do, I’m going to give the retailer 90 days to pay it they do not pay up in 90 days I will give you the money. That’s a promise. Please allow 90 days for the transaction to hit your account. I promise you it will be there within 90 days. Please do not reply to this ticket as it will just make you wait extra time as it’s will go by the ticket reply date time.

After the 90 days, still no payment. Therefore I added another reply to the ticket. And I got this wonderful response in Feb 2008:

I am pleased to tell you that I have now added £42.50 cashback to your account for Direct Line Life Insurance.

So a little persistance, and Greasy Palm where true to their word. Thanks guys!
