Conga

As I mentioned before, this blog will go in a different direction from now on. Besides the usual trip report, new posts will be added regarding the subjects listed below. The general theme for this blog will still be travel but more emphasis will be given on the booking aspect and how to score great bargains.
  • Travel bargains
  • gaming the system with mileage running
  • Free money laying around for us to grab!

Free money laying around for us to grab!
Let's start all this with the third point. If you hate leaving money on the table then you are like me and there are thousands of ways to earn free money out there on your everyday purchases. Let me introduce you to the world of cask-back portals. 

Cash-back portals basically work by funneling prospective customers to merchants. Each cash-back program earn a commission whenever a customer reach a merchant and make a purchase using a referral from an cash-back portal website. This commission can be quite large ranging from less than 1% to easily over 30%. Hence why the cash-back business is thriving  

Now, how can these cash-back portals entice you to make your everyday purchases through their portals and therefore earn money? Well they simply give back to you a fraction of the commission that they earn. In the end, this means that you will earn as cash-back a percentage of your spending. 

However, not all portals are created equal. Some are giving you back more than others, some are giving less.
One of my favorite cash-back portal is MrRebatesMrRebates consistently scores some of the highest cash-backs out there and is therefore my preferred. Besides this, you can choose when a check is being sent to you with all your hard-earned money (minimum $10.00 apply)

Another of my favorite cash-back program is Ebates  Ebates also have some of the highest cash-back out there. In over a year I have had all of my transaction post within two weeks. Ebates sends cash-back checks four times a year

Start saving now!
