Earn Cash Back in Days with Giving Assistant
I’m very frugal, if you ask my husband it might say that I’m a bit cheap. My whole blog was created as a way to help people save money on everyday items they buy all the time. When I visit a store the first section I visit is the sale and clearance sections, and I don’t complete checkout from any online store without looking for coupon codes. I religiously live by this code, so when Giving Assistant reached out to me about trying their site and sharing with my readers I jumped at the chance.
Saving money should be easy, and I know you’re probably wondering why you should check out Giving Assistant. Let me start by sharing how easy it was to sign up for the site. Once I hit the website and peeked around a bit I decided to sign up.
Signing up is so easy, you can choose to use your Facebook account or an email address. It takes about 30 seconds or less and you’re on your way to saving by earning cash back on purchases you make all the time.
If you’re worried about not finding a store you shop at, I can honestly say Giving Assistant has over 1600 of the largest online retailers on their site. I was very excited to see stores like Ebay, Coach, Cost Plus World Market, Ralph Lauren, Forever 21, and so many more of my favorites on the site. The cash back percentage vary by store, but on average it’s around 5% for stores on the site. Giving Assistant also lets you use your coupons in addition to earning cash back, so that’s even better than just a coupon code in my book.
Once you’ve signed up with the site, its easy to keep track of your earnings in the “My Account” member dashboard. There you can see your all time earnings, current earning, pending earnings, and all time donated.
Giving Assistant also allows you to give part or all of your cash back to charity. To determine what portion you give to charity or keep just adjust the slider in your account settings. You can choose any charity you want to give your earnings and if you don’t see one listed email support to get it listed on the site. Giving Assistant also partnered with Feeding America to donate a meal to those in need when a coupon is clicked by a shopper who isn’t a member of the site.
Refer your friends to Giving Assistant by sending them $5, they get it once they sign up and when they make their first purchase through the site and earn cash back you’ll earn $5 as well. You can refer as many friends as you like since there’s no limit to how much you can earn through referrals.
I know you’re wondering how do you get paid your cash back earnings, in your account settings you have the option of choosing PayPal or having a mailed check. Both methods are free of fees, and you receive payments when your account has a $5.00 balance.
I found some of my favorite shopping sites on Giving Assistant, I was planning to purchase a new dvd player for my kids and a keyboard for our computer, since they had them on the site I used this option. It was super simple, I searched for the Best Buy page on Giving Assistant, then clicked the link to visit Best Buy. It takes a few moments for the tracking cookies to redirect and that’s it. I shopped like I would normally do on the Best Buy website, and sit back to wait for my cash back to arrive from Giving Assistant.
Summer is starting to wind down and if you’re a parent like me, you’re probably getting ready for back to school, or planning end of summer vacations. I found great deals for hotels like Best Western offering up to 5% cash back on your stay, after you complete your travel. If you need to rent a car Budget Rent A Car has coupons and 4% cash back. Shop for all your school supplies and earn up to 6% cash back depending on what you purchase from Office Depot. Computer purchases earn 0.5% cash back. Giving Assistant even has popular stores like Target and Walmart. The next time you’re planning to shop online be sure to visit Giving Assistant to earn back some of the cash you’re spending.
