With gasoline prices going up, we've been doing more of our shopping from home... on the computer!  For years I have been part of several points programs where I earn points for shopping and can then trade in those points for gift cards.  Those are great;  I love gift cards!  But sometimes it is nice to get cash back.  So, recently we started shopping through two programs that give cash back for purchases made through one of their store links.   Both of them have a great variety of shopping opportunities available.

Ebates-  Look through their list of stores.  It shows the percentage you will get back after shopping through their link.   You can even have the money deposited into your Paypal account.  I believe they pay out every two or three months as long as there is a balance of over $5.00.  They start you out with $5 just for signing up!  I've shopped through them numerous times and they are really good about crediting your account quickly.  I've never had to remind them of a purchase made.

Big Crumbs-  I just started with this one but have heard really good things about it.  One of the reasons I joined is that they give you cash back for shopping on Ebay, as well as a huge variety of other stores.  Click on one of the stores and they tell you how much of your purchase will be refunded to you after shopping through their link.   The great thing is they deposit the money into your Paypal account each month.
