If you're one of those who love to shop online for great bargains, make sure you register with the 3 cash back sites: bigcrumbs, mrrebates and ebates.

What you do is log in to any of those 3 sites. Let's say you want to purchase from newegg, compare percentage of rebates each of them give and click from their site to redirect you to newegg. I like bigcrumbs the best since they pay the fastest with no minimums unlike ebates. But if you can afford to wait for your cashback they send via paypal, you'll be surprised @ your add'l savings by Black Friday

if you're one of those who build supercomputers, you'll be amazed @ the rebates you'll receive buying from any of those 3 companies re-directed to newegg or targetdirect. For example, here's a ballpark figure on how much it is to build a supercomputer,

before you decide to click the check out button, go to any of the 3 sites to compare rates of rebates and go with the one offering the highest. sometimes, they go as high as 5% cashback and you can do the math

in this case, the buyer pays for all materials plus a fee to assemble the pc. in essence, you buy it for them first (make sure to ask for deposit equal to the cost of parts so you won't lose $$ in case they back out. a contract is necessary to protect yourself for these kind of customized orders) while using your CC and thereby you squeeze extra $$ from those instead of just going directly to newegg or tigerdirect.

this is just another way to squeeze money out of your purchases instead of just getting invoice receipts.
