Usually when we see blogs pushing products or services, we tend to feel a wee bit questioning on their sincerity. It took a while before we realized that well, we shouldn’t shut the door to it altogether.
We assure you that we will only ever talk about products or services that we personally use and love, whether or not we get anything out of it 😉 A few of these links are affiliate links which simply means if you click on a link and make a purchase, we will receive an affiliate commission.
We hope you find a gem or two in here!
General Spend
Shopback
This is a platform that you initiate an online purchase from and the platform will redirect you to the website you wanted to purchase from and give you an amount or a small percentage of what you spent, back to you. It is across many popular websites such as Amazon, Taobao, iHerb, Zalora, Booking.com and much more!
As of the time of writing, I have $593 that I have saved from using Shopback on spend that I would have done anyway even without getting some cash back. That’s just money being left on the table if we did not utilize Shopback. I love how it just adds up, bit by bit, and now it’s sizeable!
Read this post we did sometime back with details on Shopback including the payout details.
Travel
AirBnB
We’ve written a lot about our travels and we have used AirBnB extensively. We find the joy of having a home to stay in with a kitchen and a washing machine to be more fulfilling and cosy, especially with the kids!
If you are new to AirBnB, here’s our referral link so you get a certain amount of credits from your first booking (it keeps changing from SGD26 to SGD63). In return, we get a small referral fee from AirBnB for spreading the good word and trust us, we wouldn’t share it unless it’s worth sharing. The true testament to it is our extensive use of it now on our Grand Adventure!
Hotels.com
Hotels.com – (this link will give you a $50 off your first booking)
Hotels.com allows you to book 10 nights of stays across a host of hotels / properties and the average value of the 10 nights gives you the value of your 1 free night.
What’s great about Hotels.com is that it is stack-able with the Shopback cashback. So we can book via Shopback and earn our cashback on the dollar value of the hotels book and still earn a free average value night. So what you need to do to maximize this lil’ arrangement is:
- Create a Shopback account – use our link for a free $10 cashback
- Create a Hotels.com account – use our link for $50 off your first booking
- Close all tabs
- Log in to Shopback using your newly created account, and select Hotels.com
- Log in to Hotels.com if required, then proceed to make your booking
- Remember, each booking requires you to do Step 4 and 5 again. This ensures you qualify for the cash back on each booking.
