With the holidays just around the corner, there's lots of shopping to do. If you want to shop like a pro, you'll want to take advantage of a site that will earn you cash back for every dollar you spend. I've written on this subject before and quite honestly, if you aren't using cash-back sites, you are leaving money on the table. Once you start padding your bank account with rebates, you'll likely never stop. After all, who doesn't like free money??
Memolink.com is one of those sites. Through the Memolink site you can shop at 1,000's of discounters and retailers where you are rewarded in points. Members can also take on different tasks to earn points.
HOW IT WORKS
Sign up by using your email address or social media account. You automatically receive a free $5 just for signing up.
Shop ““ you can search Stores, Coupons, or Products.
When you search Stores or Products, just type the name of the store or product you're looking for and press enter. When you search coupons, just type a keyword, brand, store name, holiday, or product to find useful coupons. And, to help understand how much cash back you can get when shopping, Memolink does the conversion from points to cash back for you, so you know what to expect.
My Stores
We all have our favorite places to shop and look for discounts. One cool shopping feature is the ability to set up a list of your favorite stores on your homepage. Just click on the star next to the store logo and it's immediately added to your list of favs. If you see a logo glowing yellow on your homepage, it means that store has a point increase right now. By personalizing your homepage, you'll also get customized email alerts to big sales going on with one of your favorite brands.
We recommend adding the favorite stores of family and friends too. That way, gift purchases can be made when you're able to save the most money. The SavingsAngel philosophy of abundant living is to buy when you can get the lowest price, even if you are buying ahead of time. Cha-ching!
Using Memolink on the go
When you're out and about, you can easily access your store list on the Memolink mobile site.Being able to access your favorite stores or add new stores while already shopping will help you make wise shopping decisions. For example, you try on a pair of jeans in the store, then check Memolink to see the deals, coupons, and available cash back by making your purchase using Memolink. You can get what you want AND get the best deal possible.
Points Earning Opportunities besides shopping
In order to help you reach your point goals faster, Memolink has set up a sidebar “Daily Checklist” on the left side of your homepage. This list of different tasks will remind you of the simple things you can do to accumulate points. Things like visiting the site of the day, playing trivia, checking for free point codes (Memocodes), and completing a survey are just a few of the things you can do.
Free Memocodes
A memocode is a promotional code you enter for bonus points. Codes are found in Memolink emails or on the site. Enter the code in the memocode field to receive your free points.
Completing Surveys
Memolink partners with the top Market Research companies to provide high quality surveys where member's opinions will actually be heard and used for real research. Their surveys are divided into two types, Daily Surveys and Project Surveys. Daily Surveys are available every day, but are not targeted to the individual. Project Surveys are targeted to the individual, so you have a greater chance of qualifying and completing the project surveys.
Point Redemption
You can redeem your points for cash, gift cards, or send a donation to your charity of choice. Once you get to $10 in points, you can redeem your points. So to get started, join and confirm your email, and you'll get a jumpstart $5. Then you only have to earn $5 in points to get your first reward!
Memolink's reward policy gives more details: All rewards will be sent out twice per month. Rewards ordered from the 1st – 15th of the month will be processed and sent on the 30th of that month. Rewards ordered between the 16th and 31st of the month will be processed and sent on the 15th of the following month. This procedure is the same for both electronic and physical gift cards. Please note if you have large purchases in your account, your reward may be held until the 30-60 day return period has passed. If you are ordering a reward that is sent via post, you will most likely receive your reward within 2-4 days after it has been processed, based on the postal delivery schedule.

In addition to the $500 Shopping Spree, they're also giving away a Beats Pill. You get entered just by downloading their reminder toolbar. The toolbar is nice if you forget to go to Memolink first to shop. You just type in a participating brand on Memolink and the toolbar will slide down a notification asking you if you want to earn cash back from Memolink for your purchase. You say yes, and you'll start earning cash back. Not all stores on Memolink participate in the toolbar, but most of them do. In addition to getting reminded about earning points for cash back when you shop, the toolbar also gives you points when you search the internet.
Bottom-line:
I'm a big fan of cash-back sites when shopping. To me, it's a no-brainer. Memolink is easy enough to use, the points and cash-back is generous, and there are multiple ways of earning points. While I think the website design could use some improvement, I particularly like the mobile site. Because of these reasons, I personally use Memolink and can recommend the service to anyone who is looking to keep more of their own money and earn money for the things they are already doing.
Happy shopping!!
