Christmas shopping: help yourself and your company

[kevinchess1]

Today is so-called "Cyber Monday"; expected to be the busiest online shopping day of the year. And the next few weeks will generally see a peak in online purchasing, due to a combination of present buying and retailers offering tempting promotions. So here's a timely reminder of how you can make the most of your imutual membership at this time of year...

1. Remember to check for, and use, imutual's links to your chosen retailer whenever buying something online. We have cashback offers at over 3000 UK merchants, including most major "high street" names. There are no downsides whatsoever; you get the same deal as if you'd visited the merchant directly and just for taking a few seconds to use the link on imutual, you get free cashback, plus shares in our company too

2. There are some retailers that don't permit us to offer cashback, but we still receive a commission payment if you buy something from their site after using our links. Notable examples include Amazon.co.uk and ebay.co.uk. Please remember to use our links when visiting sites like these (bookmarking them makes sense!); the revenue raised helps to fund our free 100% cashback service and also benefits you indirectly, because you own shares in the company

3. It's a perfect time of year to tell friends, family, colleagues and other contacts about imutual. Whether they already use other cashback sites, or have never heard of them. And if they join using your tell-a-friend we add 100 shares to your account by way of a thank you

Happy shopping!

I never realised that by using non cashback sites such as Amazon and Ebay , it would benefit Imutual. These two are sites that I use most often so thanks for enlightening me.

It helps Imutual if you make a purchase

I have bought a couple of things (less than £30) via Amazon which I hope helps the site. But I used my gift certificates (earned from cash for action sites, more details on these at the sub forum of that name). Do these earn money for the site or does it have to be a cash transaction?

So long as imutual's link is the last one you use before adding items to your basket, the method of payment shouldn't matter

AND

Amazon does not pay any commission so the answer is No. Should have thought you could have worked that one out for yourself..

I missed the we (Give myself a slap on the wrist) Thought Kev was talking about personal cashback. So a grovelling apology is due to him as well.

It's usually the spender who gets any benefit, not the buyer. When you buy Boots vouchers, you don't get any points, they go to whoever spends the vouchers. So I would assume that iMutual will only benefit from vouchers spent, not bought.
