Cashback Shopping

The IMRG (the e-commerce trade body) has predicted that European online sales will continue to boom with the internet driving sales past the €100bn mark.  They predict that web sales will more than double in the next five years, reaching €263bn as the number of internet shoppers grows to 174 million.  However, most of these consumers are blissfully unaware that they are entitled to a percentage of this €100 billion in the form of cash rebates or cashback.

Cashback shopping as a mechanism for children's savings

Cashback shopping can be another useful tool to save for your children’s future. It is important to remember that you should only buy what you need. Buying things you don’t need for the sake of 5% cashback is counterproductive.

Be aware that some merchants offer high cashback on financial products. Under no circumstances should you apply for them just to get a cashback: you will ultimately lose money.

Cashback shopping is also a great way for grandparents and friends of the family to help increase the savings by directing their cashback savings into your children’s savings account.
