I am going to try using FatCash while shopping online this month

I have been a regular visitor to the FatWallet.com website for a couple of years now. The site has pointed me to some great deals. I have been aware of their FatCash program for awhile, but never signed up. Now FatWallet is offering a carrot to sign-up - a $5 sign-on bonus.

The way it works is this - you open a free account on FatWallet and get your $5 sign-up bonus. You then go to the STORES tab and look for websites you are planning on making online purchases with. Go to the STORE pages and look for the Cash Back! box on the right side of the screen. Click on the link within the box and you will be taken to the store's online site. Make your purchase as you normally would. Once your purchase is complete you can go back to the FatWallet website and check your account balance. The cashback rebate amount should showup (can take 24 hours to appear).

I have just started using this so can't report yet on the payback process. It does say that it takes 90 days for the amount to move from pending to available in your account. I am only using the links to make purchases I already planned on making and at sites that have the best price - so this extra cash back if it works is just gravy.

If anyone has been using FatCash please leave me comments with your experiences.

Happy Holiday Shopping Everyone!

    This is cool, thanks for the link. I'm using Zazzle to make t-shirts for people and they are one of the stores that will Fat Cash me.

    I've used FatCash for a little over a year now and everything has been positive.

    Here is a little write-up about it I did a while back.

    I've used it a handful of times without issue. There are also stores that don't give fatcash back (notably Amazon) so I usually try to find another pfblogger who is an affiliate and buy thru them.

    Ugh - head smack! Good idea Jim - I should have thought of that since I just made an Amazon.com purchase!
