how i saved over $200 by just shopping online in 3 months

Whether you are budget-conscious like me or not, it's always nice to find a deal and save some money when you are shopping. I've been always frugal and love to find coupons and refuse to pay full price lol. When I couldn't find any coupons I could use, I came across these cashback websites a long long time ago. I've been using them since then. I've tried so many different cashback websites and still have around 3-4 different sites I use regularly depending on their cashback %. But after using so many different cashback websites, I wanted to let you guys know which one is my favorite and why.

But first I'd like to show you a little glance at how much I saved!

Here is my payment history from 2 different cashback sites. The left image shows every single payment I received since I joined them.

The right image shows the payment I received last time, this company has a pay period time frame so if you get enough cashback, you get paid every 3 months. I have a couple more different cashback websites I use but these 2 are my go-to because they usually have higher cashback % and they offer more stores.

So which one is my favorite? It's the one shown on right and it's rakuten. I'm from Japan so I'm a big fan of rakuten. Most of you guys maybe don't know but rakuten is a very big amazon like shopping site in Japan and I used their service so many times when I was still living in Japan. I still use them when I want to send my parents gifts.

This rakuten cashback site was called ebates a long time ago when I joined them and I assume rakuten bought the company. Anyways, why do I like them? It is their awesome customer service! I've experienced "missed cashback" so many times and it's always so frustrating. And when I contact customer support, they usually tell me something and I never get credited for the purchase I actually made. But rakuten always fix the problems and give me the cashback I was promised. Seriously amazing. I've saved almost $800 just jumping to the store I like to shop through rakuten. They have a web extension you can download too and this makes using rakuten even easier! If you are interested to join for free, click here.

Happy shopping and happy saving!
