The reason for this post is to tell you\/remind you about Rakuten<\/a> \u2013 by far the easiest way to potentially save A LOT of money on your Christmas shopping (or any other time as well).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s called Rakuten (formerly Ebates),<\/strong> and I have been getting checks from them for about 10 years now.<\/p>\n

In fact, this is the quarterly statement they sent me last month\u2026<\/p>\n

How it works:<\/h2>\n

It is a FREE cashback app, so all you need to do is open it (on mobile or desktop) and click through to the store you want to shop at.<\/p>\n

When you do, you will get paid whatever percentage the site you shop for currently offers.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/h2>\n

Last month, Linda and I needed some new shoes, so we went to Rakuten.com, clicked the link to Nike.com, and ordered our shoes like normal.<\/p>\n

A few days later:<\/h3>\n

I got an email from them saying they were adding the money to my account.<\/p>\n

\"rakuten<\/figure>\n

They send a check every 3 months<\/h2>\n

They total up your earnings for the whole quarter and then send you a check (or direct deposit) every 3 months.<\/p>\n

In fact, I couldn\u2019t remember how long I have been using them and it turns out I have been getting checks from these guys since 2008!<\/p>\n

Here was my first payout from them in 2008 when they were called Ebates\u2026<\/p>\n

What stores can you shop at?<\/h2>\n

They have over 2,500 stores available, so your favorites are probably there.<\/p>\n

Then they pay you a percentage (up to 40% currently) of whatever you spend at the store you were going to shop at anyway.<\/p>\n

I know it probably sounds too good to be true, but after 14 YEARS of using it myself, I feel pretty comfortable saying it is 100% legit. \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n

I made a 4-min video here showing how I use it and how it works:<\/p>\n
