whats the deal with ******.com?
I am just wondering how exactly ******.com works. Between this forum and one other, there is a lot of talk about ******, but I have really no idea how it works or if it is a good deal.
any suggestions/comments? thanks! |

****** works like this: you use their links to shop at merchants. they give you a percentage of your total purchase back. they basically share a part of the commission they receive from you using their links. every 3 months or so, they'll cut a check if you have at least a certain amount of $$ accumulated. they also give you $5 if you refer friends, and after those friends make their first purchase using those links. ****** isn't the only place which offer cashback. |

ok, so you simply have to use the links from their websight? unlike upromise.com, you don't have to give them your credit card info?
sounds like a good deal to me. too bad I just dropped 150 bucks on text books last week at barnesandnoble.com....  thanks for the info! |

****** doesn't give the best discounts for barnes... for that, you'd have to use DiscoverCard's links, and your discovercard. They give you 7% cashback instead of ****** which i believe gives 4%. i dropped over $800 on textbooks there 2 wks ago  |

hehe.. tho i enjoy the sympathy.. not all the textbooks were for me.  i helped my friends get discounts.. with the cashback, barnes & nobles coupon, and also this thing called student advantage or bn's reader's advantage.. i yielded a total of bout 16.0675% off, free shipping, no tax.. bought new textbooks for a few bucks more than my campus charges for used books  |
