Rewards programs are a must if you want to put a little something extra back in your pocket, every time you shop online or in your favorite stores. Best of all, you don’t need to have a credit card to reap the benefits.

Shop Smarter When You Shop Online

If you are an online shopper, Ebates should be one of your first stops when looking for places to earn rewards. Ebates will pay you back a percentage of your purchase when you use their site to shop at various retailers. On top of that, you’ll also get discount codes and coupons, which means double the savings.

Sign Up For Loyalty Programs

It always pays to sign up for loyalty programs at the places you shop at often, including supermarkets and clothing stores. Sign up is free, and just requires that you provide the store your name, email address, and phone number. Then, every time you shop, present your loyalty card at the register and you’ll start to accumulate cash back, coupons, or points, depending on the terms of each specific program. You can also join a a program like Plenti, which covers hundreds of retailers, like gas stations, restaurants, and clothing stores. When you join Plenti, you don’t just have to stick to one specific retailer to earn points. You can shop at any of their participating retailers, earn points at each, and then combine all of your points together toward discounts for future purchases or cash back.

Participate in Online Surveys

Companies love to find out what their customers are thinking and how they like the products and services, and they’ll reward you in return for your opinions and feedback. The next time you get an email from a store where you’ve just made a purchase, don’t pass it by.  Just a few minutes spent on these surveys could mean a  pretty nice discount on your next purchase.
