5 Tips to Make the Most of Your Cyber Monday
Happy Cyber Monday! We have lots of online shopping to do, so let’s cut right to the annual checklist: score a great deal (that you can actually give to someone), with free shipping, the best coupons, the highest cash back, and purchased with credit card cash back!
And here’s my resource list to get it done:
1. Cyber Monday Deals
There’s no need to find your own deals when we have all the deal sites at our fingertips. Here are my favorite places to scope out the deals today (almost all of my holiday shopping originates from these three places!):
2. Maximize Cash Back
Once you know what you want to buy, my next stop is the cash back sites which we talked about on Friday. Login to your Ebates, Mr. Rebates, or whichever account you are using to get cash back on your purchase. Be sure to watch for any double cash back offers, which usually start flooding our email boxes this week each year.
To make sure you are maximizing your cash back you can use ShopAtHome.com which has a 110% highest cash back guarantee, or check the evreward list for a comparison.
3. Ship It Free
My favorite way to ship for free is through our Amazon Prime account. If you don’t have Amazon prime there are plenty of ways to get free Amazon prime shipping during the holiday season:
4. Coupons and Codes
Before checking out, I’ll double check for any coupons on Retail Me Not or Coupon Cabin to make sure I’m stacking the deal in the best way possible.
5. Credit Card Cash Back
Then it’s off to purchase using the credit card that will give the most cash back. I’ll check my options with the cards offering special holiday shopping cash back. Here’s what I have lined up:
- Citi $200 Credit on Online Shopping
- Mastercard $20 Gift Card for Online Shopping
- Discover Amazon Double Cash Back
- Rotating Quarterly Cash Back Cards
- 6% Gift Cards from American Express
Don’t forget to link your cards to Envaulted, if you are using new cards in your rotation to maximize holiday cash back!
