1. Rakuten
Rakuten was formerly known as Ebates, and it’s one of the biggest coupon sites on the web, as a quick Google search for ‘coupons’ and a valuation of $1 billion dollars prove it.
Although they offer coupons, the main draw of the site is the cashback, which you can find in all its forms, included cashback offers for purchases made through over 2500 other sites, and cashback when shopping in-store. Even better, there are regular double and triple cashback events run around the main holiday seasons.
Usefully, Rakuten also has a Chrome browser extension that will alert you if the site you’re using offers cashback. This makes it easier to incorporate their deals into your shopping routine rather than needing to actively check the website on a regular basis.
2. Ibotta
Ibotta is a coupon and cashback app that can help you save money painlessly especially when grocery shopping. You’ll be able to earn cashback on certain items by completing different tasks. These tasks might include purchasing the item, providing proof of purchase, watching a short video, or commenting on the product. The number of tasks will vary based on the item and the amount of cash back.
In some cases, you can use Ibotta on top of other in-store purchases. This gives you the opportunity to save even more money.
3.Capital One Shopping
Capital One Shopping is a browser extension that every online shopper should have in their toolbar. Not only is it 100% free, but it only takes a few moments to install, and can save users some serious cash! And the best part is that once it is installed, it does all of the heavy lifting for you, from finding savings to alerting you when prices drop.
Once you install the extension, all that you have to do is shop at your favorite online stores and Capital One Shopping will search through thousands of other merchants to ensure that you are getting the best price. If they find a better deal somewhere else, they will alert you and lead you directly to it. And if you are worried about missing out on coupon codes, don’t be. Capital One Shopping finds the best coupons from around the web and tries them automatically.
On top of the deals that Capital One Shopping finds for you, users can also earn credits to use towards purchases on popular sites. You can even go beyond the browser extension and download the app. On the app, you can easily scan product barcodes, or search for products themselves, and find out if there is a better price somewhere else.
So, if you haven’t made Capital One Shopping a part of your online shopping routine, it is time to take the plunge!
