If you are shopping online there are plenty of ways to stretch your dollar with just a few clicks.
Some websites give away perks like gift cards or even cash if for those who use their links to retailers.
For instance, Ebates.com gives you rebates of anywhere from two to 20 percent. The money goes into a PayPal account which pays members by check every three months.
Mypoints.com is similar. Since the payouts vary from each site everyday, check both before shopping to see which has the biggest rebate on any given day.
Another option is SwagBucks.com. Shoppers can search the internet starting at Swagbucks.com and win swagbucks both for shopping and for searching the internet. Swagbucks can be redeemed to gift cards to a variety of retailers after a certain level is reached.
Also be aware of any promotions your credit cards are offering. For example select items on Amazon.com qualifty for free one day shipping for members who pay with their Discover Cards.
