Some useful ways to save money with cashback sites and apps!

The end of another week, this year is flying by! I hope some of you are finding my blog posts useful, as always if you have any questions feel free to get in touch or you can join my Facebook group here by clicking here

Another fantastic way to get more for your money and earn some more in return are cashback sites and apps. It pays to shop around with these, as some may give you a better return for your hard earned cash than others. Here are a few websites and apps that I use at the moment and find very useful – if you have any others that you can think of please feel free to let me know!

The hardest part about this is remembering to use them when you are purchasing something online! I make online purchases very often, and sometimes only remember when it’s too late and I’ve already bought the product. One thing you can do is use websites like Topcashback and Quidco (if you want to know more about these, read on!) as your search engines, or only search through the apps by downloading each websites own apps to your phone. Or, like me – a simple post it note on our laptop will do!
TOPCASHBACK  




There are no catches and this site is completely free to join. You can sign up here (https://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/lpoole975).

Whenever you are shopping online simply use this website and search for the retailer you are interested in using – I find it really useful if you are doing something like booking a holiday, making an insurance purchase, changing your broadband provider etc. There are lots of different retailers, my most recent cashback has come from Matalan, Ebay and Littlewoods. Sometimes it may take a few weeks for cashback to come back to your account but everything adds up and if you are a big online shopper like me it’s certainly worth the wait. They often have fantastic offers worth over £100, for example a quick check on the home page today if you sign up for a childs ISA and deposit £10 per month you can earn £130 in cashback. You can also refer friends through the site and earn £7.50 and upwards if they sign up with your link and earn £10 or more cashback.

Occasionally they do competitions, especially in the run up to holidays so keep a look out for those and join in where you can for a chance to win free things!

You can redeem your money via vouchers for various retailers, BACS transfer or paypal.

QUIDCO   

 Another fabulous cashback site is Quidco. Much like Topcashback, it’s worth checking on both at times to see if you can get a better rate of cashback from one or the other. You can get cashback from many different retailers and service providers.

To join quidco and earn £5 for joining and using the site click here (https://www.quidco.com/user/2837179/2551678/) you can also refer your friends and earn money for doing so, the amount varies depending on how many people you have referred successfully.

Like Topcashback they at times treat their users to little competitions, at the moment you can win money in the ‘Snow me the Money’ game on the site which runs until the 23rd of November 2017.

First of all make sure you are signed up to Quidco , you can sign up through my referral link here https://www.quidco.com/user/2837179/2551678/

You need to use a browser for the game, it doesn’t matter if you are on a phone or desktop but you must use a browser, for example Chrome, Firefox or internet explorer.

Once you log into quidco you should see a banner at the bottom of the page. Click on the banner and select to ‘opt in’ Once you have opted in you can just click on play now daily.

Have a look at the daily clues, or you can pop over to my group here for some hints. You get two chances. Hunt out the answers by searching on the Quidco search button. Type in the name of the retailer, and click through to the Quidco cashback page. It should then pop up with a winning page, it MIGHT NOT be a cash prize but there have been some successes from the group already. I’ve had several entries into the prize draw for £5k.

Prizes range from 1st place at £5,000 cash to instant win vouchers ranging from £50 to 10p. Instant win cash prizes will be placed onto winning accounts by the 24th of Dcember 2017 just in time for Christmas!

Good luck!


CLICKSNAP




This is an app you can download, it’s linked to Quidco (mentioned above). You can get cashback for trying out different items from different retailers. To use it you follow the upload instructions, tick the offers you wish to redeem, snap or select up to 4 pictures of your receipts (make sure you get it all in, time, date, items etc) and upload. You will then get the cash back for the items you chose. You do need to accrue a small amount for it to be redeemable. You can only use this for offers in store, the next app I will talk about redeems offers online and instore however if you would like a bit more choice. I have both.

CHECKOUTSMART 

This is another cashback app. Similar to clicksnap, I find at times this has better offers. It has a minimum payout of £5. You are rewarded for shopping instore and online. You gain exclusive offers from your favourite brands. Again it involves purchasing the product, uploading the receipts or delivery notes and submitting the pictures for verification.  Payments can be transferred to a Paypal account or straight to your bank account.

SHOPMUIM


This is a great app, payments are credited very quickly and there seems to be a lot of free items rather than simply money off items. If you use my referral code once you download the app – referral code: AMACGMKT or my referral link which is https://www.shopmium.com/uk/referral/AMACGMKT you can claim a FREE Lindt Excellence Chocolate bar. You also get monetary bonuses for referrals too, at present £4 per referral who redeems their free chocolate bar. A great way to try out some new things for free or discounted in your weekly shopping!



RECEIPT HOG 


This is another app, you can get cashback for uploading your receipts. You get entries into monthly draws and you can have the chance to win various prizes and an instant £66 on a slot machine game related to credits given for your receipts. You can trade coins earned for receipts for paypal and amazon vouchers. You can refer members of your household and each of you earns coin credits for the gaming slot machine once they fill in the questionnaire after sign up and upload around 20 receipts.

I hope you found this useful!

SMA Pro 6+months Follow-on Milk trial with TheInsidersIreland

Whilst most of my blog posts are on ways to make an extra income without the extra effort, I’ve recently been taking part in a few product trials at home which I have thoroughly enjoyed. One of which is my first product trial with a fantastic company called TheInsiders , a word of mouth review platform. I have four children, I have breastfed them all but normally make a switch to formula when they are older (mainly as I find I no longer have the time to express any longer). My youngest has been exclusively breastfed from birth,  and now at ten months still she refuses bottles and pacifiers, so when the opportunity came up to review SMA Pro 6+Months follow on milk  with TheInsiders, I immediately applied and was accepted. The trial takes place over a 6 week period so you can get a really good feel for the product and have plenty of time to talk to others about your experience of SMA Pro Follow-on Milk. Not long after being notified that I’d been accepted for the campa...

As a busy Mummy of three with a small business taking up the minuscule moments of spare time I have when I’m not running errands, doing homework or refereeing squabbling youngsters/feeding the hungry hoard, over the summer months I came across a few ways to make some extra money without the hassle.  As any of you who know me will know, I’ve dabbled in MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) started my own crafts business and become quite the bargain hunter since becoming a stay-at-home Mum in 2015. Every little helps, right? If you fancy a little extra pocket money in a month I urge you to read on!
