Black Friday sales are kicking off. Christmas is right around the corner. It's the perfect time to learn how you can get rewarded for shopping at thousands of online stores.

Having earned £750+ in cashback in the last 2 years, I feel qualified to share my experience with you...

Earning cashback is really 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 companies participate, familiar names like Currys, Halfords, LateRooms, Hilton, Costa, eBay, John Lewis, AO, EE, O2, Thomas Cook, Aviva etc. The list's almost endless. (Specific firms 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 the cashback site for sending them shoppers. In other words, the price you pay for stuff never changes. You just get something back. Literally "money for nothing", as long as you were planning to buy the things anyway.

No need to change where you shop or what to buy. Simply remember to check the cashback site every time you shop to see if that merchant is participating. If they are, click the "Get Cashback" button on that merchant's page. Your purchase will be tracked, and 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.)

At first, it feels almost like magic. But it won't take long before you get used to receiving welcome little messages in your email mailbox, telling you that another purchase has been tracked and the cashback credited to you.

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.

The 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:
