Money Saving Tools on the market

With so many money-saving tools on the market, it can be difficult to determine which ones can save you the most money. Read below to learn about the differences between popular money saving extensions, and which one can save you the most money.

By now, everyone is familiar with cash back on credit cards, and you may or may not know about affiliate cashback – paid to you when you use a referral link provided by a cashback platform.

Cashback

Cashback is the primary means of saving money using these browser extensions. You click through to a retailer, like Walmart or Macy’s.com, using the affiliate link provided by a platform like Checkout Saver.

Then, when Checkout Saver get’s paid from the merchant commission from your sale, they pass on the money to your account.

Coupons and One-Time Coupons

An extension like Honey is absolutely fantastic for auto-applying tons of known, public coupons to save you money.

But there’s a different type of coupon which you’ll never see on Honey, known as a One-Time Coupon. Checkout Saver let’s you buy and sell these unique coupon codes, that are typically high in value and are consumed after the first and only use.

Discount Gift Cards

Here’s one no extension has done before, until now. People often receive gift cards when they’d rather have cash, and they can sell those cards at a discount to Checkout Saver. Then, when a shopper is checking out at the store, they can buy say a $25 gift card for $20, auto apply it, and save $5 in the process.

Checkout Saver is the first extension to combine all three techniques, which can all be combined to save you money when you shop online. Imagine earning 2.25% cashback at Macys.com, using a coupon for an extra 10% off, and applying a discount gift card which saves you an additional $10. Never before have you been able to save so much money, so easily.

Price Rewind

Citi credit cards used to have an amazing feature, which would pay you the difference in price if the item you purchased became cheaper in the next few months.

While Citi no longer offers this feature, you can use Paribus to accomplish the same – they fight for all sorts of cashback and discounts on your behalf, automatically, by scanning your emails and tracking the prices.

Bumped – Earn stock when you shop

Bumped is a clever new tool that pays you cashback in the form of stock at a company when you shop there. Simply link your card, and whenever you make a purchase you’ll earn a few % back as stock at the company!

What a great way to own the brands you shop at, and combine yet another tool to save money when you shop online.
