What are shopping portals, and how do they make money?
These websites basically track your purchases (when you allow them to) and earn a commission from a retailer when they direct you to the retailer's site. You DO NOT pay anything extra since you'll be browing directly on the site. These shopping portal companies essentially share some of their commission with you. Mnay of these portals will also offer coupons and cash back in terms of gift cards, direct deposit, or even American Express Membership Reward Points. Finally, many of them will have an extensoin to your browser that makes it easier to toggle and identify when you're on a website with a deal.
This is a great website to visit first to find which shopping portal has the best deal. You can see on the right different shopping portals have various rates for Walmart. Below the full list of shopping portals is organized similar to what they have.
Cashback Portals
Cashback Portals
Rakuten is my favorite one because you can actually earn American Express Membership Reward points instead of just cash. Right now our referral link allows you to get $40 when you first sign up!
Kudos is up and coming and has other wallet features to help you with your credit card journey. Current referral is $20 on your first purchase through them.
TopCashback has several retailers not found anywhere else, even something like Amazon. Current referral is $35 on your first purchase with them.
Price is alright, and the current referral offer is only $5
BeFrugal has really fast payouts . No referral, but they have a $10 bonus for signing up.
Fluz is a powerful program that has heightened deals at times.
RetailMeNot more focuses on coupons, but still has some good deals.
FatCoupon has a multi-prong sign-up bonus for at least $10.
There are more out there, and it's best to use CashbackMonitor to find out the best deal! Keep in mind, spreading out your earnings can be great for getting a bunch of bonsues, but each program has different cash out minimums and types.
