10% on Macys is because theres bonuses on the App. Always use the App as it has promotional rates and its actually decently designed

Hi Ben I know this is not related to cash back but I am wondering if you know or have DPs on booking flight less than a 100 to trigger the airline credit in Amex card? The only thing it is hard is to find flight less than 100 and that is a place you visit!

I've been using Mr. Rebates (before I knew about E-Bates, which became Rakuten) since 2008. I've earned over $800 over 11 years, which might not sound like a lot but it's nice to have some extra cash going in my bank account rather than going out.
I never heard of most of these sites, but I will definitely check them out and use the referral links you provided. Thanks!
It looks like Raise might be especially good for folks like me who have the AMEX Cash Back Preferred, and have maxed out their annual cash back for grocery stores. (Although I'm not even close to maxing that out yet!)

Raise is eiher discounted gift card or raise cash back. So cannot double layer within raise itself. I generally use raise with british airways portal, they offer 5 avios per dollar spent.

Looked into the Venmo card lately? 5% back at Target and Chevron. 4% back at Dunkin. And a few other things.

Credit Shufu, it’s clear that you haven’t actually used Raise before. You said that you get the discounted gift card percent AND the Raise Cash Back discount. This is NOT correct. Let’s use Southwest as an example. You could choose to buy a $200 gift card and get 7.4% off. OR, let’s say you had a plane ticket that was $154.66. You could instead buy Raise Cash Back for EXACTLY $154.66 value and get a 5% value credited to your raise account. The percentage can be less for choosing Raise Cash (or sometimes more), but the advantage is that you can buy a gift card for the exact amount that you need and not have any amount leftover on the card.

Credit Shufu, Drop doesn’t let you pick 5 places anymore. They have changed recently and now you only get to pick 2 places. It’s been like this for almost 2 years at this point. I think you are gonna wanna edit the information provided in this video.

I love Rakuten. These services are great when well established. Ibotta was annoying its first year. 🤣

"Rakuten" rhymes with "whack a tin".

It's an Asian word.

I got approved for a discover it cashback card with a $7,000 credit limit. I'm very excited about the card and I made 2 videos about it on my channel.

Ibotta users can also “Pay With Ibotta” when you check out in-store at a participating retailer. You just enter the total in the app which then creates a gift card the retailer can scan and you receive up to 10% cash back on that purchase. Many retailers and restaurants are members.

Credit Shifu, do you know if these third-party websites track and collect a lot of data on us? I’m fine with earning some extra cash back, but it seems as if we as consumers need to be increasingly aware of what is happening with our personal data. Thank you for your content!

Use Walmart Online Grocery a LOT! Unfortunately, every single cashback portal says groceries don't qualify (Rakuten, Mr. Rebates, etc.). Does anyone have any tips for cashback portals with Walmart online Grocery?

Thank you so much for making this video! I had always heard about ebates/rakuten but always thought it was a scam for some reason. I finally made an account and am already saving money.
