So if you know me well, you know that I a bit of a bargain hunter. It’s not unusual for me to check multiple places to get the best deal or to show up at the grocery/drug store with as many coupons as I have items on my list or to buy 12 jars of peanut butter because they’re on sale.
I am also a frequent online shopper an online shop-a-holic. Knowing is half the battle, right?
Why shop online? Because I have three kids. Enough said. Oh, and most places will let you return to the store which means you never pay return shipping. And I can handle returns with three kids. And I usually only buy when I can get free shipping.
Anyway, I often shop through Mr. Rebates because I can get cashback in small amounts for my online purchases (e.g., Lands Ends gives 3%). I always use my Discover card because they also give about 1% cashback on all purchases.
Enter the perfect marriage of online shopping…Shop Discover. Here Discover cardholders can shop with even higher discounts (e.g., Lands End gives 10%). Then you can stretch your cashback by getting merchant gift cards (e.g., Lands End $50 giftcard for only $40 in cashback rewards). Or you can use cashback to get merchandise (free shipping!), an account credit, or personalized Discover giftcard. So many options…so little time.
Happy Shopping!
P.S. By blogging about the new Shop Discover I am eligible to win this promotion!
