Cashback shopping in the UK is relatively new, but it is growing, with more sites appearing every week.
Cashback sites have clickable links to online retailers that are provided by the retailers through companies called affiliate networks.
Many of the well known high street brands are available on cashback websites.
You will see these ads all over most of the websites you browse everyday.
Once an online shopper clicks on the links of the retailers listed on these portals he is redirected to the retailer's website as normal and upon buying the product, gets the cashback percentage, or flat rate payment promised by the portal for that particular retailer.
You will need to be logged in to the cashback site & choose a retailer you want to buy from.

When you click the link to a retailer, you are taken to their site and you make your purchase in the normal way.

Commissions paid to other websites such as MSN, Yahoo etc.
Usually within a day or two, the affiliate network reports the transaction back to the cashback site and states how much commission is due to be paid to them.
The money becomes payable to you when the commission has been received by the cashback site from the retailer via the affiliate network, but only when you have reached the minimum payout level for the cashback site (again, this varies from site to site).
Typically your cash-back from purchases will become confirmed/payable about 2-3 months after the transaction.
Uncleared payments usually show as "pending".
The only difference is that you are getting money back on top & as well as this, you're usually able to use retailers' online discount codes in conjunction with cashback offers, making for even greater savings! Most sites will display lists of the special offers & codes that each retailer is offering, without you having to go hunting through the site.
There are some sites that don't do this, but they do claim to pay 100% of the commission they receive from the retailers!
The only restrictions are those the cashback sites set in terms of minimum payout levels, but with just one big-ish purchase (e.
insurance policy or mobile phone contract) you may exceed this in one go.
Basically, you can sit at home, not get stressed by the crowds, still buy what you want, but get it cheaper and choose from a wider selection, not to mention if you use a cashback site, get some of your money back too!
Finally, there's no limits on the amount of cashback you can earn with cashback sites and with 98% of retailers you can make repeat purchases and get cashback every time!
You can literally start saving money right now, in the next couple of minutes.
And you just go on saving year after year.

com, but then return to the cashback site to click through to the retailer; that way, you are getting the best price & cashback too!:o)
Beware! As mentioned earlier, the cashback site relies on a tracking code (also sometimes known as a cookie) to record which site you came from & who is entitled to receive their cashback.
Therefore, before using your cashback site, we recommend removing cookies from your browser, using the tools already built in to your browser, or by using an excellent free piece of software: CCleaner! This ensures that the "click" through the cashback site is the one registered by the affiliate network, not one from a comparison site, who would then get the money & not share it with you!!
