Cashback Websites

For anyone who isn't familiar with these sites I thought I'd post a few links here. The way to get the best value when shopping online is to find the best possible price on the internet. Then when you've got the best price you can shave up to 10% or more off if the retailer participates in one of the cashback web sites such as Top Cashback, Quidco, Cashback Kings, Rpoints etc...

I've been including links to Quidco in a lot of my posts. I can confirm they do pay out via Paypal, minus a £5 per annum admin fee. Below are some of the more popular cashback web sites:

www.quidco.com
www.cashbackkings.com
www.wepromiseto.com
www.rpoints.com

The cashback sites themselves sometimes offer fees for referrals to join them. Instead of just joining yourself by going to the web site, it can pay to use a friends referral link, and get another friend to use yours. That way both joiner and referrer are paid when someone new signs up.

Here's a very important one I've been meaning to amend to the charter!

Bargain Alerts is NOT the place for any commercial interaction or advertising, whether you've a small or large company.

If you wish to advertise on Boards.ie, see details here. And if you wish to interact with consumers on Boards.ie, you can contact one of our Community Managers and ask for details about a 'Commercial Interaction' forum.

But please do not use Bargain Alerts as a medium.

UPDATE 14/03/2011:

If you're suspicious that a user may be promoting a website or product, please use the 'Report Post' function to let us know. DO NOT start an interrogation on thread. It both derails the thread and makes it a pain in the ass to get back on track.

UPDATE 25/01/2013:

All Referral links or URL shortening are not allowed on Bargain Alerts.

Example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_shortening can be shortened to http://bit.ly/urlwiki. Short URL will be removed.

So please remove any referral links from end of URL's to GroupOn etc before posting.

Thanks!

UPDATE 15/04/2013:

Referrals are not permitted on Bargain Alerts.

For those who are un-initated or unsure of what does or doesn't constitute a referral - the following should help you..

A referral is when you personally benefit from sharing a link or code - e.g "share this link to 5 of your friends and you'll get the deal for free!.

As mentioned, this typically comes complete with a personalised code or link:

• A referral link is when there is a unique / personalised code at the end of a link - e.g
  

  http://buysomethinghere.com/buythisitem.html?userID=22992

  (note the userID parameter)
  
• A referral code is typically a unique / personalised code given out to users from busineses to entice people to use their code. But do note - there is a difference between a generic voucher code (e.g 20OFF) and a personalised referral code. We can make the call on this if you're unsure.

If you're unclear on whether you might be posting a referral, feel free to PM one of the Bargain Alert moderators who'll hopefully be able to clarify. But if you're not sure and you post, don't be suprised to see your thread deleted.
