Before you start, here are some commonly asked questions regarding cash-back websites.

I know it looks like a lot of writing, but it really is worth reading.

Cash-back sites are a great way of earning some money back for purchases you already make online. They work sort of like affiliate programs, but with a difference - you, the user, get a share of the advertising revenue.

All of the sites listed are 100% free to join.

How it works in detail:

It's not as complicated as it looks! There are 5 steps to the process:

1. Companies advertise their services on a cash-back website.

2. You join the cash-back website and click on the advert.

3. You are directed to the advertisers website where you sign up to, or buy whatever they sell.

4. The advertiser pays the cash-back website for referring you to them.

5. The cash-back website gives you a share of this revenue.

An example to demonstrate:

This example is taken from My Shopping Rewards. I have signed up for free and I am browsing through the advertisers sites. I notice there is £2.25 cash-back offered for signing up to the National Lottery website. (The one where you can buy Lotto tickets online.) I have read the terms and conditions and they say in order to get the cash-back I must register and deposit at least £1. So I register and deposit £1. The next day the £2.25 is added to my cash-back account!

Note that it says "deposit" not "spend" So the following day, if I withdraw the £1 from the Lotto account. This way I have spent £0 and received £2.25 cash-back! All this took a total of 10 mins.

A word of warning!

Before you go heading off to register, here are some things to consider:

Always write down important dates you need to remember: If you forget to cancel the magazine after the third issue, you will be charged £9.99 (for example) for the next 6 months of issues, so you will lose money.

Always, always read the terms and conditions carefully: Don't get caught out by the small print!

How much are you paid?

It is not possible to earn as much as doing online surveys, but cash-back sites are free to use so you have nothing to lose by giving it a go!

What you are paid varies from 20p for signing up to a newsletter to £50 for opening a bank account or taking out insurance.

The trick to earning a reasonable amount of money is to make sure you join lots of different cash-back sites. That way you can find the one that suits you best.

How much can I expect to make?

From each site you can comfortably make £20, which is usually the minimum withdraw limit. Certainly with My Shopping Rewards, it is easy to exceed this hugely, without spending any money, because they have such a large list of advertisers in there "easy cash" and "free cash" sections.

So it's possible to receive cash-back without spending any money?

Absolutely! There are lots of perfectly legitimate loopholes like the demonstration here. But remember; you can still make money even if you have to spend a small amount:

For example: Subscribe to a magazine using a cash-back website with the "3 issues for £1" offer. Cancel the magazine after the third issue, collect the £2.50 cash-back, and you are up £1.50 (plus you got the 3 magazines!)
