___Earn cashback online

Get some money back when you shop online by clicking through to retailers on cashback websites. Unfortunately, the small catch is that you can only request payouts once you have a certain amount in your account, which means you need to spend enough to get it. There is also a problem in that each website doesn't support all retailers, so you sometimes have to "shop around" the cashback sites for the best deal - of course meaning you earn a bit less in each, meaning more time until you get money.

However, it's a worthwhile thing to do if you shop online regularly. Here are the ones I use most regularly.

(TIP: always use the same email address on the cashback sites as you do on the retailer sites, otherwise it won't match you up to receive the cashback)

MUTUAL POINTS
What you do: This is my favourite one. Shop online and get cashback, usually ranging from 1-5%, they support pretty much every retailer you can think of. You can also sign up to receive up to 3 emails per day - typically, you get 5 points every time you click a link in the emails, or you can earn extra points by registering on websites, downloading software, etc. Not only that, but they also now support a small selection of high street shops like Superdrug, so it's not all online shopping!

What you get: 3000 points gives you £20. You also get 50 points when you sign up

Minimum payout: 3000 points (£20)

Some other websites that offer good deals (but that I haven't really tried) are TrolleyCash, TopCashBack, Quidco, FreeFivers and MoneyBackMadness.
