For example, Discover has a cash back offer that will help you save money. You can earn 5% back on up to $1,500 in purchases in various categories throughout the year, along with 1% back on general purchases. Another is Bank of America’s Cash Rewards Credit Card. You can earn 3% back in the category of your choice. Choose from gas, online shopping, dining, travel, drug stores and more.
3. Use a cash back website
Cash back websites are relatively simple. Just sign up for a free account, and when you complete a purchase with any of the site’s participating merchants, you get cash back. It’s just like using a coupon, except you earn money back after the purchase has been successfully completed and tracked. Just click through to your favorite retailers and shop like normal. The retailer pays TopCashBack a commission for your purchase, and it adds this as cash back to your account. You can earn more by using the TopCashBack app where you’ll find coupons, in-store coupons and instant account access. The app is available free for both Apple and Android gadgets.
