I don't know why I haven't posted this sooner but here it is.
We use both these services and they are great with no gimmicks.
If you like going out to eat, this is for you.
http://www.restaurant.com/index.asp?pgn=homeJust sign up and put your zip code in. It will give you a list of the restaurants in your area that participate. They do change from time to time. What you do is, buy a gift certificate for whichever amount you choose. Some are $10, $25, $50 or even $100. Normally the $25 dollar one only costs
$10! If you plan in advance, they go on sale and you can get them for as low as $2. That's right, you get $25 worth of food for only $2! The only catch is you must spend like $35 and drinks and tips are not included. This still works out to be a great deal. Each time we have used it, we had no problem covering the minimum with what we would have ordered anyway. The last time we bought a $50 for $4 so we got $46 in free food. It really is a great deal if you can find restaurants that you want to go to. There is an Italian place in Palmdale the blows the Olive Garden out of the water. You can buy them and just leave them until you are ready to use it. Then just print it out and take it to the restaurant. Give it to them when you order and they call it in.
If you like shopping online, here is another great site.
http://www.ebates.com/Again, you sign up and go through the list of stores to buy from. Most of the big ones are on there. You just click on the store and it takes you to that stores normal website but by doing this, you get cash back. The amount is between 1% - 10% but normally around 4% or 5%. The amount is posted on each stores link so you know before going there. They send you a check in the mail each month. It's basically free money for just taking an extra step and going through their website first.
We have been using both of these for some time and have never received any spam, junk email, junk mail or any phone calls.
I posted about using your credit card last year I think it was but also check out the deals with you credit card.
We use our Discover card to pay for EVERYTHING including our normal household bills. That is a guaranteed 1% cash back. They also have programs that you can go online and sign up for. We got an extra $500 over 5 months just for signing up for the promo. That was a better than normal one but they have different ones all the time.
If you just take a little bit of time, you can save or earn a lot of money. Who can't use extra money?
