Cash Back Sites
CashBack Sites
CashBack sites will allow you to make a small amount of money but it is not scalable - it can also be time consuming. However, many companies will offer discounts and the sites themselves give cashback for purchases made through them so significant savings are possible. Do not, however, make purchases relying on the cashback offered because transactions do not always track. If the transaction is of significant size, it is always worth making some record of it, such as a screenprint.
These sites offer variable rates of CashBack, so it is good to shop around for the best deal. Most of these sites make money by splitting the CashBack with you. A couple charge a yearly fee, which means that they can afford to pass the baulk of the CashBack on to you. The annual fee is paid from your CashBack earnings, so represents no initial expense from you to join.

CashBack Site List
The following table contains links to a number of CashBack sites, plus comments where I think they may be useful. I recommend, before enroling on any of these sites to set up one or more email accounts to specifically use for this purpose. One of the inevitable side-effects of any kind of online activity is attracting spam and this is significantly increased when you are deliberately visiting sites whose chief aim is to obtain your email for their commercial purposes.

| PigsBack | This is actually quite a fun little site - recommended. There are plenty of things to do and the site has a good community feel to it. |
Get Paid to View Ads
These sites will pay for you to view ads. I have some doubts regarding the feasibility of these sites, both in terms of their usefulness to shoppers and merchants, and also their long term viability.
