These days cashback sites have been mushrooming up all over the internet. (If you don’t know what a cashback site is read this)

The basics of a cashback site is they will pay you the commision they recieve from the online shop after you make the purchase which can range from 2% – 20% of the sale price. What most cashback sites do is split this comission with you and themselves 50-50.

So it is quite refreshing to see a couple of cashback sites that will give you the full 100% of the comission straight back to you.

100% Cashback Sites

Giveortake.com is a cahsback site that I hadn’t heard of before, but they give 100% of any commisions they make straight back to you, and only charge a £5 annual fee after you have £25 in your account.

What giveortake.com say “What happens when you create a good-looking shopping site, add hundreds of great stores, dozens of charities you admire, oh yes, and of course throw in the top rates of cashback on everything anyone buys? You guessed it – you’ve got Give or Take!

Give or Take’s aim is to make it effortlessly simple for people to save masses of money on their shopping bills, or raise oodles of cash for charity for free.

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, but a long time ago in Internet time, a few of us were watching the incredible growth in online advertising and sales. We started thinking ‘Why don’t we create a way for charities and customers to benefit from these vast sums exchanging hands?’ So we used our expertise to create an effective way people could support charity at absolutely no cost at all. We put shopping and giving together and crossed our fingers. Happily it looks like we can open our eyes again as people seem to be warming to the idea just like we did.

As time has gone on, we understand the psychology better – It’s sometimes hard to make a choice about whether to save money or raise money. Whatever you decide, we want you enjoy your shopping! By the by, if you choose to take the money, by using the site you’ll be helping us keep the service free for charities. How’s that for a win-win? You help charity even if you take (just not so much!)

Managed by leading affiliate marketing specialists, UK Web Media (www.ukwebmedia.com), Give or Take is an extensive online shopping centre that brings together over 500 leading online stores, including familiar high street names such as John Lewis, Marks and Spencer, WHSmith, Waterstones and Currys, and 60 charity partners, including Shelter, Samaritans and RNID.

Getting started is simple. Each store displays the amount of cashback you will receive as a member. This can be either a lump sum amount, or a percentage of the purchase price. This is the same fee the store will pay us, and we’ve chosen to GIVE BACK 100% of this fee to YOU or your chosen charity.”

Quidco.com operate a similar cetup as Giveortake.com and only take a small annual fee once you have earned some cashback.

What Quidco.com say about themselves “In the heart of a cold wet English winter a few dreamers (or fools depending on your perspective) sketched out the plans for what was to become the web’s first cashback cooperative. What drove us was a brilliant concept that turned traditional advertising models on their head. What if savvy consumers received referral commissions for their own informed shopping decisions? What if the referral commissions that fund so much spam were given to the informed consumer rather than the aggressive advertiser?

What if we reversed the roles so that the advertiser was passive and the consumer in control?

The idea of a site that used referral commissions to fund cashback was not a new one. However, we were tired of these cashback sites making promises of big cashback while they kept half the commission to themselves. We were tired of the endless spam links for these sites pasted across forums and newsgroups.

We wanted a cashback site with a heart (that didn’t look a pound sign).

And from these passions Quidco was created. An ad-free cashback cooperative that passes on all referral commissions in exchange for keeping £5 a year as an admin fee.

The Quidco revolution has continued to grow from strength to strength with consumers flocking to a concept that tries not to insult their intelligence…or their wallet. We’ve been thrilled to hang on for the ride so far and have been humbled by the amount of support we’ve received from Quidco members.”
