How to make money using cashback sites

Want to save even more money when your shopping online? Then read on……

I heard about cashback websites a few years ago and was amazed that you could get money back on things that you are going to buy online anyway.  To date I have had £360 back in cashback, in particular big purchases such as household electricals, really do offer good cashback rewards.

So how does it work. It is free to sign up to a cash back site (see links below) and once you are registered, just browse through the list of retailers or services and click through to the site you wish to make your purchase from. Buy the product online as you normally would then check your cashback account. The purchase should register straight away and the cashback show as pending. It can take a few weeks (sometimes months) for cashback to track, so do not be worried if it takes a while. Once the cashback shows as ready to pay, you can choose to save it up or arrange a pay out.

Check both sites out as the cashback rates can differ, especially if you have a big purchase to make. Personally, cash out my payments at regular intervals as I prefer all my online earnings in my bank account.

How to save money on petrol costs

Finding the best deal on petrol or diesel can be a challenge with prices that vary at different petrol stations and brands. There is a fantastic free to download app or website to sign up to that enables you to compare petrol prices in your area.

Saving money is so easy, just go the website or download the app PetrolPrices.com. It is completely free to register your details, just enter your postcode and the cheapest petrol stations in your area for unleaded petrol, diesel, LPG and other fuels. It will display local garages to your postcode (or your current location) and hey presto, you can see where it is cheapest to fill up. The prices are updated every weekday around noon, so the data is very reliable.

You might ask what’s difference between a few pennies per litre? Well it could save you £100’s a year, depending on how much fuel you use. For example if you normally send £50 a week on petrol, it totals £2600 a year, at an average saving of 10p per litre you could save £260 a year!

Don’t forget to use any loyalty cards that you may have when buying petrol, most of the loyalty schemes are free to sign up to. Many supermarkets have a combined petrol and groceries cards, such as Sainsbury's and BP have Nectar cards, Morrison's More Card and Tesco and Esso have TescoClubcard.

Other loyalty schemes include:
