MyPoints
There are many cash back and point systems that give you a little something back when you make online purchases by first logging into their web site. One of my favorites is MyPoints, which has a wide variety of shopping and reward partners. If you’re saving for college, sign up for Upromise, where you get back a percentage of what you spend with their partners. You can earn for online shopping, dining at their restaurant partners, and also for local shopping when you register your grocery and drugstore cards.
Shopping News &Tips
I recently heard from Rob Leslie, who has launched a locally owned and operated deal site called Tozmoz.com. Keeping it local, they feature deals in the Portland area with exclusive discounts of 50% or more on local goods and services. Deals like this are a great way to try new things and save money at the same time. Their offers tend to be available for more than 24 hours, so you have plenty of time to take advantage of their deals. They also offer a 14-day no-questions-asked money back guarantee for unused coupons if you change your mind.
