Black Friday sales are kicking off. Christmas is right around the corner. What better time to learn how you can get cash back, as you shop, from thousands of online stores?

Since I've accumulated £750+ in cashback in the last 2 years, I wanted to share my experience with you...

Earning cashback is very simple:
1) Join the cashback site
2) Shop at any of the 4,000+ online merchants it supports
3) Earn money on each purchase, either as a % of spend, or as a flat fee bonus
4) Withdraw the cash to your bank account, or take it as shopping vouchers

Tons of familiar names are on board, like Currys, Halfords, LateRooms, Hilton, Costa, eBay, John Lewis, AO, EE, O2, Thomas Cook, Aviva etc. The list's almost endless. (Specific companies may come and go, but many of your favourite merchants are bound to be there.)

Typically, you can expect to get 8-10% back on hotel bookings, 5-10% from fashion retailers, 1-3% from electrical stores, etc. You can earn lump sum bonuses (£30-£100+) for getting new phones or SIMs, changing broadband provider or utility company, taking out insurance etc.

NOTE: The cash comes out of the fee the merchant pays to the cashback site for sending them shoppers. In other words, the price you end up paying doesn't changes You just get something back on top. Literally "money for nothing", as long as you were planning to buy it anyway.

No need to change where you shop or what you buy. Simply remember to check the cashback site every time you shop to see if that merchant is participating. If they are, click the relevant link on the cashback site. Your purchase will be tracked, and appropriate cashback credited.

Purchases will normally show as having "tracked" within minutes, and will be displayed as pending in your account. They may take a few weeks to be credited to your balance. (Future events, such as hotel bookings or event tickets, only get credited after the date has passed.)

TIP: If you use an ad blocker, you'll need to deactivate it to allow cashback to track. (By blocking cookies, you're also blocking cashback tracking). An easy workaround is to use a different web browser, if you have one, when you're ready to purchase a product or service.

A "Classic" level cashback account is completely free. Alternatively, you can pay £5 a year to get a "Plus" account that will earn you higher levels of cashback, and give you various other bonuses. (The £5 annual fee will be deducted from the first cashback you earn.)

That pretty much covers it, I think. You're moments away from earning cash as you shop. Sign up here:
