How-To Earn Cash Back While Shopping Online → With Giving Assistant

Sponsored by Giving Assistant
You shop online, right? If you’re like me, you love a good deal and especially one that rewards you for shopping that you were going to do anyway.

When I heard I could get up to 5% of my purchase back in cash from thousands of stores, I was intrigued — I’m talking about places I already shop at. Through Giving Assistant I learned I can do that or even donate my cash back to a variety of charities.

Giving Assistant is a cash back website that gives the highest cash back rates for stores that sell high-quality products ranging in all categories you can think of- beauty, home goods, food, tech- you name it.

100% of the affiliate commission goes to our users, they can choose to donate some of their earnings to the charity of their choice, and it’s free to join.

How Giving Assistant Works:

Retailers pay us a commission for purchases originated from our website (Average ~5%). For purchases made by our members, we give them the entire commission in the form of ‘cash back’.

Plus, we make a small donation to Feeding America to give one meal every time cash back is earned.  (So far they’ve donated over half a million meals)

Here are a couple of my favorite deals right now:

  • HomeAway – up to 20% cash back if you need to rent a place
  • Michael Kors gives you 8% cash back for buying a new purse or shoes
  • Ancestry.com – up to 15% cash back to learn about who you really are
  • See their full list of deals at over 1,600 stores here.

Soooo … I used an old $50 gift card from Target, bought a top and cute sandals, and got cash back. Score. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Go to GivingAssistant.org
  2. Type in your desired location (store) in the search box of GivingAssistant.org
  3. Click on the link — by the way, they have an easy to navigate site so you’ll be able to follow along even with a couple glasses of wine 😉
  4. Then you’re directed to your site and → shop away!*
  5. Get Money

I went to Target and bought a couple items — I’m loving the halter top look this year and the shoes had sooo many great comfort reviews + they look stylish, so yes — I’m very happy about my purchase.

TIP: You can even combine cash back with coupons — which they provide as well — to save more and more dough!
