TopCashBack thrust into the US spotlight as it saves consumers $150,000 in six months

May 1, 2012 - PRLog -- TopCashBack, which gained popularity in the UK by allowing shoppers to receive money back when they buy items or sign-up to services online, extended its money-saving facility to the USA and Canada in autumn last year and promises to be the most generous cashback rebates site in the States.

Mirroring how TopCashBack works in the UK, the US website prides itself on giving at least 100% of the commission rate it earns from retailers back to its members, and is completely free to join, use and cash-out, with no minimum cash-out threshold. TopCashBack.com delivers savings on everyday essentials plus big, one-off purchases. The site offers savings to consumers in two ways; by consistently providing the best cashback rates and publishing money-off coupons. TopCashBack earns revenue from a few, non-intrusive advertisements dotted around its pages. By earning money to run the site in this way, it is able to give its members the very best cashback rates.

An estimated 47% of internet users in the US planned to use online coupons in 2011, which suggests there is great demand for money-saving techniques to aid frugality. TopCashBack.com offers its members cashback at over 2,000 top internet names including Best Buy, Bloomingdale's, Groupon, Netflix, Overstock.com, Staples, Target, Verizon and Walmart.

Natasha-Rachel Smith, spokesperson for TopCashBack (www.topcashback.com) and in charge of overseeing the American arm of the company said, “As 60% of Americans say they surf the internet to get the best prices for purchases, it’s evident that the huge savings the online arena offers compared to traditional bricks-and-mortar stores is already well acknowledged. Although cashback sites are not new to America, TopCashBack.com provides something that no other does; we give the entire cashback rebate we’re paid back to our members. We also allow members to cash-out whenever they want and do not force a minimum cashback withdrawal threshold. If a member’s balance is one cent, they can request it and we’ll give it to them. These elements make us the USA’s most generous cashback rebates website. In today’s unforgiving economic climate people from all walks of life are trying to make savings on everyday essential items and TopCashBack offers consumers a way of making money on their spending.”

Natasha-Rachel concluded, “We understand the need to make savings a top priority, so this is another way for people to make the money they spend stretch further. TopCashBack is an ethical company and thrives on passing savings to our members. We want all consumers to enjoy being financially rewarded by shopping through us.”
