How to get discounts, gifts and refunds in America
You can often hear from friends or relatives that someone either bought unreal cheap trips to a resort, or had a very cheap dinner at a famous restaurant, or got something for free. We immediately ask: "How did you do it?". In this article I want to share information about the sites that my friends and I use to get a discount on a certain thing or even get something for free, writes Andrey Boychuk in the article for Immigrant porada.
Here are these sites:
1. Ebates - a site that saves you money. For example, you want to buy some equipment. Instead of a hardware website (for example, bestbuy.com), you type ebates.com on the Internet, and on this site you need to enter links to the electronics website.
After that, you will immediately receive information in the window about a possible discount on your equipment. This is mainly 1-5%.
The amount seems to be small and you will not get rich with it, however, if you buy often, you can save a decent amount.
Here, for example, the total amount of my discounts. As you can see, I registered on the site back in 2012 year. If you buy a lot of things online, then this site can be very profitable for you. My average for 3 months comes from $ 10 to $ 50.
6. Dansdeals. If you live in America for a long time, then, most likely, you already know about the sites listed above. However, I am almost sure that you have no idea about Dansdeals. So, on this site every day, except for Friday evening, they put up various discounts on everything in the world. In addition, on the site you can find a lot of useful information about opening a credit card, charging bonuses and using discounts.
7. Coupon code. On many sites, when purchasing, you can enter a special code and get a discount, which I always do successfully. It takes me no more than three minutes, but it saves me some money. How to find out the code? Enter the name of the site and the word “Coupon code” into Google and, in most cases, the search engine will give you a code that you insert into the required field when purchasing a product or service.
8. Plenti card. Recently my sister told me about the Plenti rewards card. This is the same type of card as in point 4, but it covers several companies at once: Macy's, At&t, Exxon Mobil, Rite aid and others. This is very convenient if you use the services of these companies. For example, I fill up at Exxon Mobil, and my wife buys things at Macy's. We collect points, and then we can use them to pay for gas. Don't expect global earnings. You won't make much money there, but if you use these services, why not use a card?
Caution!
Don't buy gift cards by hand or on Craigslist. I had a bad experience. I once found a loophole - I bought Starbucks gift cards at half price on Craigslist. And then I almost got into trouble when I found out that these cards were bought with stolen money from other people's credit cards. Miraculously, everything worked out. Therefore, please do not step on the same rake.
Those cards work, but when they find you, they will begin to find out where you bought them and so on. For example, I entered the words Starbucks gift cards on Craigslist and saw that they were selling a lot of them. For example, a $100 card sells for $50. I am more than sure that this is a card purchased with stolen money.

You can combine all of the above information. For example, go to the desired site through Ebates and pay by entering the number of member rewards, for which you get an additional discount. Or buy a coupon on Ebay, and go to the site through Ebates, for which you get another 5% discount. Plus, if you pay everything from a credit card that gives you cashback or miles, you also earn money on it. That is, besides your purchase, you still get a lot of additional and nice bonuses.
