Published on Leave a comment on Hooked on cashback with Caddle

Spotlight on: Caddle

What I scored: Here's my fishy tale on my big earnings with Caddle.  It started with some completed surveys that indicated I enjoyed eating frozen fish.  It turned out Janes was promoting their line of breaded fish fillets, so I was presented with personalized cashback offers for Janes Fish:

  • July 19, 2018 - Survey ($0.05): Frozen Fish
  • July 26, 2018 - Video & Survey ($0.10): Janes Fish
  • Aug 2, 2018 - Purchase Cashback ($4.00): Buy 1 Janes Fish - 2 x $2.00
  • Aug 2, 2018 - Purchase Cashback Bonus ($1.00): Buy 2 Janes Fish - 1 x $1.00
  • Aug 2, 2018 - Post-purchase Survey ($0.25): Janes Fish
  • Aug 2, 2018 - Review ($0.25): Janes Fish

From Caddle alone, I earned $5.65; on top of that, there was a sale on Janes Fish for $8.99 per box (savings of 3.00 each).  The two boxes of Janes Fish  effectively cost me $12.33 (before tax).  Without Caddle and paying full price, the fish may have cost twice that much!  Wow!

How I did it: I used Flipp to search for Janes Fish and saw it was on sale at Metro.  The Caddle cashback for a single box was only $2, but taking advantage of the bonus cashback, I was able to earn $5 by purchasing a second box.  The surveys before and after the purchase made it a bargain!  AND, these boxes have a $4 coupon inside for next time!

Janes Fish in my freezer. Look, $4 coupon inside!

Published on Leave a comment on Primed to cash in on Amazon $25 bonus

What you get: You can earn $25 Amazon.ca credit by adding $100 to your Amazon Cash balance.  Think of Amazon Cash as your pre-paid Amazon.ca spending account.  Instead of a bank, you visit a retailer like Canada Post and deposit the money through them.  Amazon gives you a personalized barcode (or you can just use your cell #) so the funds are directed to your account.  It's really easy, and the bonus $25 arrives within 24 hours; mine came within a few minutes!

Note: Offer available only to first-time Amazon Cash deposits.  Bonus funds expire Aug 31, 2018.  See Amazon's page for full details.

When it starts: July 9, 2018
