They are the first one I noticed in this sector. The site looks like dog poo, but functionality is great. On top of showing the cashback rate from different sites, they also rate these sites. Here is an example for screen capture for the results.Groupon is a site that I check frequently because Shop Discover frequently offers 10% back, although this generous rate has been less common in recent months.
I would also be careful with Groupon because they tend to let pretty much anyone into their affiliate program. Hell, even I am in it. Is my affiliate link if you feel like making a purchase and throwing a few cents my direction.This is where the Cashback Holic reviews also come into play. If I was looking at this list, I would probably skip the 12% offered by Coupay unless I wanted to test them for shits and giggles. Cashbackhouse looks like a legit option, but if you go to the site and read the terms, there are a myriad of caveats.

It makes for a real life rate of 2.5% cashback on all purchases. While I can’t help you find that particularly offer as I am not sure what qualified me to receive it, Fidelity does offer a no annual fee Amex that offers 2% back on all purchases. I really like that deal since you can steer the cashback into your IRA as a painless way of saving for retirement.
By putting the 2% into an IRA that can be used to purchase stocks or mutual funds, there is a good chance it will grow into significant amounts over time.2. – another great site to check cashback rates. It seems to have the same lack of design flare of Cashback Holic, but it is simple enough to use. The differentiator with their site is that you can set up monitoring of the sites where you make the most purchases. Here is what the cashback monitor configuration screen looks like:Lifehacker even wrote a little. It’s a fairly crappy article by Lifehacker standards, but it does offer a few more screen captures from Cashback Monitor.3.
– they aren’t as good as the first two sites mentioned, although they are on the right track. Unfortunately, they don’t provide the same wealth of information and the site isn’t updated as well. As an example here is a somewhat sad result from a Groupon search.
