Forget Shop to Earn, How Can I Get Paid to Shop?

by Tamara






I’m sure you’ve seen online advertisements making claims that you can get paid to shop or shop to earn. Many of the get paid to shop opportunities come from companies who will pay you anywhere from $5-$10 to physically drive to a location and evaluate what you see.

Sounds interesting, but the catch for me is you have to drive to a store, take a mental evaluation of your findings, come back home, fill out a form, and then get paid for your time and sometimes your purchases.

To me, that’s not getting paid to shop. No doubt, it’s a really neat way to make a few dollars if you are already going to that particular store, but if you have to go out of the way to get there, you are probably spending $9 just to make $10.

We prefer the free and easy way to shop to earn and around Christmas time we created a post titled: “Can Christmas Shopping Online Pay?”  which discussed a way you can get paid to shop online.

Christmas money

Well, it feels like Christmas again!

Since that post I’ve been getting paid to shop and I’ve done it all online in the comfort of my home!

Online you can find just about any product or service you need, there’s really no need to get up and get dressed or burn gas to get it these days.

Do you know how you can get paid to shop online?

Let me tell you!  Just go to Ebates.com anytime you get the urge to shop online for products or services. You’ll want to visit the Ebates site first, sign up, select the store you want to shop at, and then sit back and shop until you drop.

Now that sounds like fun, and it really is!

As mentioned in the previous post, Ebates pays you quarterly and as long as you have $5 accumulated in your account they will cut you your very own Big Fat Check!

In just one quarter of shopping online I made $15.42 plus a $10 gift card to Target which equals $25.42! Whoo-hoo!

Ebates Gift Card

Ok, I’ll admit, it’s not rent money, nor enough money to pay the utility bills with.  But it is free money that you earn doing nothing more than what you love to do and have a blast doing – shop.

Want to get paid to shop for the things you want every time you go shopping?

Just join Ebates for free now and receive $5 cash.  Yes, you get paid just to sign up!

What are you waiting for, go get your paper (money) and spread the word because you’ll also get paid to tell-a-friend!

  • Ebates look cool, I visited the site and at the moment it asks me for $10 or more Gift Cards, will I be charged for it? Considering that they'll be not useful for me, the options I am seeing. Anyways I can refer it to Shopaholics so they can earn maximum. You post really good links! Great :)
  • Hi Alan, glad you've done your self a favor and checked out Ebates! No, you will not be charged, in fact they are giving you the option to select a gift - $10 or a gift card - your choice. Hard to believe... but true! We both got cash in our account and gift cards mailed to our homes just for signing up. (It took a few weeks to receive the gift card in the mail... but we did get them).

    Sounds like you're all set - happy shopping!

  • Thanks for stopping by to comment Barbara! Your comment makes us remember the fun we had when we were children. Saturday mornings were garage sale hopping day with our grandmother and we absolutely enjoyed finding such great jewels for bargain prices.Online we get the same rush when shopping because you are bound to find so many great deals that it really feels like a steal. Being busy all the time doesn't allow much time for garage sale hopping anymore, but I sure do feel inspired to do it soon. We primarily like using the internet to find great deals because it helps us save time, money, and energy, something we all could use more of, and it's just so much fun. Again thanks for your comment and your reminder of how fun garage sales are too.
