There are many ways to earn money on the internet. But often, even if these methods are interesting for those who wish to afford a small salary supplement, they require you both time and implication to start generating an income.
Conversely, using cashback sites and apps is one of the best ways available to earn money doing something you do on a regular basis anyway: shopping.
These sites offer you to recover between 1 and 20% of the amount spent in an online store. And all this without doing anything.
Among the most famous cashback platforms, you will find for example iGraal, Poulpeo, eBuyClub…
Discover in this article our recommendation of the best cashback site, and how to take advantage of cashback to earn money by shopping in just a few clicks.
Cashback: how does it work?
The idea behind cashback is simple.
Instead of going directly to the brand’s website to shop, all you need to do is access the online store from a link provided to you by the cashback site.
You always buy and receive your item directly from the brand, and the cashback site does not have access to any of your personal or banking information.
The only difference is that you will get a few euros in cashback thanks to the site (for example, a percentage of the amount of your purchase).
How cashback platforms make money
Wondering how cashback platforms benefit from this transaction?
They have simply signed commercial agreements with thousands of online businesses. When Internet users buy through these cashback sites (via the links they provide to you), the brands offer them a commission.
For their part, the cashback sites then redistribute a percentage of the amount collected to their members.
Operation
The process is generally quite simple: all you have to do is register for a platform (we present the best known to you a little further down in the article).
As soon as your account is activated, a personal kitty will be opened. It is on this kitty that the money corresponding to part of your purchases will be donated.
To activate a cashback, you then only have to select the brand or service that interests you by clicking on a link, and make your purchases as usual on the merchant site.
The money will then be credited to your kitty.
Please note: there is often a delay in validating your euros earned, which can be quite long (to prevent you from returning your purchases in the meantime, for example).
How much do you expect to earn on average with cashback?
The cashback can be done with a fixed amount (5€ for any purchase, for example) or via a percentage of the amount of your expense (5% per order).
If you are used to ordering on the internet, or if you often buy quite expensive things (think for example of travel, plane tickets, etc.), your cashback kitty can grow quickly.
In any case, it’s a way to earn money easily and for free, so no reason to deprive yourself of it.
The Best Cashback Sites (2020)
iGrail
It is in my opinion the best cashback site today.
This is the one I personally use and recommend the most, along with eBuyClub. The main advantage of the iGraal cashback site is that it offers a very wide variety of product store categories. Almost all consumer goods and all services are eligible for excellent discounts!
The customer service is also excellent, always available and generous in case of problems.
The use is also extremely simple, with, among other things, a browser extension system that tells you when the site you are browsing is eligible for cashback, and lets you activate it with one click.
eBuyClub
It is also one of the leading cashback platforms in France – and one of the best cashback sites in my opinion.
With nearly 2,570 partners, you have a good chance of finding what you’re looking for (not to mention that the brands on offer are constantly changing).
Especially since eBuyClub offers both online cashbacks, but also discount codes and an in-store cashback solution!
Joko
Joko is slightly different from other cashback applications… and above all extremely practical to use!
In particular because it allows you to recover cashback on your purchases in the form of points, online but also offline.
And the big advantage of Joko is that it allows you to earn points on your in-store purchases simply by paying with your usual credit card.
