Tips for Getting the Most Out of Cash Back Shopping Sites By Scott Fitterman * Make sure the cash back sites you select offer discounts from a wide selection of merchants. Look for sites with at least 2,000 retail partners. * Compare the cash back percentages offered by various sites to get an idea of the typical range and choose sites that offer percentages on the higher end of the scale. * Evaluate the Terms of Use Agreement and Privacy Policy to ensure that you won’t run into any issues with unauthorized use of your information. * Look for sites that provide a control panel or dashboard to view your balance. * Make sure the cash back sites allow you to file a claim if you don’t receive a payment, and look for sites that make payments at least once per quarter.
