Aussies! Cash back for Shopping

By shopping at selected stores for items you normally buy, Cashback
provides cash bonuses on almost everything the ordinary household
purchases. Join for FREE, buy the things you already buy, at places you
are familiar with, and benefit financially.

There are 3 ways to make CASH with CashBack:

   1. Shop at CashBack participating retailers.
   2. Introduce other people and earn extra bonuses when they shop.
   3. Introduce new retailers and earn royalties.

--------------

The main advantage in this as far as I can see is that you don't pay
anything to anybody to join, not now and not later, and that really you
don't have to do anything more than spend the money you are already
spending on the things you already buy.

Whats the catch?  Can't find one yet.

Here's the thing:  If you know 5 people who could stand to get a cheque
at the end of the month, just for shopping, then you know 5 people who
can benefit.  Thats all you need to do.  Find five.  You can bet they
will each know five others.  And so on.  And if the existing retailers
don't suit...find one who does and persuade them to join up at
Cashbacksystems.  Its simple, its easy, I don't think its a scam... Hope
not anyway, because the potential is huge.

There is a lot more information at the website.  The usual caveats
apply. Link is in my sig via cjb.  I used gmail for the signup, just in
case of potential spam... none so far.

The obvious catch is having to fart around rustling up 5 more suckers

And another is what operations participate.

I'm prepared to bother with the signup bonuses, in fact the stupid
dingoblue approach gave me free internet, mobile and landline phone
for years, literally, and they were stupid enough to pay me the surplus
credits in cash when they went bust. Not much effort required with those.

suckers?  hmm.  oh well its all voluntary and as you said below..  you
benefited from the dingloblue venture.  this will cost you no more than
that did

> And another is what operations participate.

a few retravisions, any supermarket, any petrol station, a few online
stores through their affiliate systems (im a bit sus about these, though
if the health insurance one worked out it would be good)  a few
bottleshops, hairdressers.

Mostly good for sydney people at the moment but you can always approach
your local favourite shop to consider getting on board. you also get
bonuses for that.

and that the thing.  there doesnt seem to be a catch but I cant see it
going on indefinitely.  worth a try IMO.

Yes, but this one cant possible benefit me as much as that one did.

> this will cost you no more than that did

Cost me more effort, there wasnt even a single operation
I could actually use that would give me any cash back.

>> And another is what operations participate.

That is just plain wrong.

Ditto.

> a few online stores through their affiliate systems

Dont bother with those, their prices are too high.

Dont bother with health insurance, its a scam.

> a few bottleshops,

Dont bother with those anymore either, brew my own.

> hairdressers.

Dont plan to use those anymore either.

> Mostly good for sydney people at the moment

And pretty minimal even for them.

Thats what I meant about effort, cant
be bothered for the minimal benefit.

I spend the vast bulk of what I spend in Woolys and Coles
etc and they wont be bothering just because I suggest it.

The two obvious catches are the ones I listed.

Not in mine.

learn't?  watch your apostrophes,  learnt does not require one.  Unless,
of course, you really did mean learn not.  In which case according to
you I need NOT learn to spell correctly.

I'll see your pedantry and raise you 10

Fraid not. Those dont qualify unless you have enough per
month from the accredited retaillers, and I'd never get that.

What matters much more is the total
of the checks for a year or three.

Cant see that ever amounting to much with no local accredited
retailers and f.ck all prospect of there ever being any.

The problem aint what you eat, the problem is that I cant buy
what I eat from an accredited retailer. While in theory you do
get a cashback from any supermarket, in practice you dont
get a cashback with those UNLESS you have spent more than
the minimum per month AT AN ACCREDITED RETAILER TOO.

Group A (the supermarkets and petrol stations and there is a max you can
claim for obvious reasons)

Group B (the ones you are talking about).  OK, thats the thing for a lot
of people.  It suits me because I wanted to switch my health insurance
from MBF where I am paying just over $50/m for a very basic cover.  I
figure I may as well get NIB for the same amount and get extras as well.
 That gets an automatic Group B qualification regardless of the actual
cost of the premium.  I also buy books and DVDs online, usually through
dstore so thats okay too, and I dont mind switching my book source to
one of the "preferred retailers".  I am going to see if some local
stores might sign up, as well.

For you.. not doable.  For me and maybe some others.. very doable.

And it remains to be seen how long they will continue to
offer that, since its money directly out of their own pocket.

I've never bothered with health insurance, its a stupid ripoff.

> I figure I may as well get NIB for the same amount and get extras as well.

I'd bin the heath insurance completely myself. In fact I have done that.

> That gets an automatic Group B qualification regardless of the actual cost of

At a substantial cost tho. $600 a year taint exactly peanuts.

> I also buy books and DVDs online,

I mostly buy books from the coop, dont buy any DVDs at all.

You'd likely find that the coop member discount is worth more.

> I am going to see if some local stores might sign up, as well.

Not interested in acting as their salesmonkey.

> For you.. not doable.

Yep.

> For me and maybe some others.. very doable.

Dunno. Not bad for someone into say Amway
etc but I cant see too many bothering myself.

And if I'm right, it aint gunna fly for long.

oh Rod you are such a pessimist.  They said the same thing about
Emailcash in 1999 but its still going strong.  Emailcash changed its
focus as the times changed and I imagine Cashbacksystems will do the
same, rather than go under.

Different structure entirely.

Yes, bet that cashback on all grocerys wont last long.

And I bet they wont sign up enough retailers to make it viable either.

Maybe you think *any* advertising is spam.

I could have put a different header which would have disguised the
purpose of the post and that might have consituted spam.  I could have
crossposted to 10+ newsgroups at a pop and bought a bunch of email
addresses and "spammed" those.  But i did not.  I have posted the advert
(clearly marked as such) in three newsgroups (crossposting to two) and
these are all groups in which I often post in relation to other matters.

and, finally, from the wikipedia
"Usenet convention defines spamming as excessive multiple posting, that
is, the repeated posting of a message (or substantially similar messages)"

Here, the lesson ends.
