Free shipping is by far an online shopper’s favorite feature when comparing retailers. Most people do not keep in mind that when you shop at some retailers online you do not get free returns. Some retailers force you to go into a physical location or pay a fee for the return processing. Paypal is now changing this from now until January 31, 2016.
To get FREE Return Shipping for Paypal Purchased Items head over to Paypal.com and click the activate offer button to activate it for your account. You will then get free return shipping reimbursement for up to 11 purchases (max refund of $30 per return shipment) from now through 12/31/16.

Ebates and other online cash back portals are my secret weapon during the holidays.

It seems that everyday there is a new rewards program but it never really gets our attention to write a post about it. A few rewards programs came out this year that caught our eye. One of those being Plenti from American Express but it failed to really feature many businesses we frequent. Microsoft has now rolled out a rewards program that does offer two places we shop all the time being Shell Gas and Whole Foods. You could even count 7-Eleven stores in for their gas mainly because they have some of the gas stations on top of Shell.
Earn by Microsoft is a program where you simply enroll your credit cards and you earn 5% to 10% in Earn Credits when you shop at participating national retailers and local restaurants that you can redeem toward product purchases made at the Microsoft Store. Yeah that’s the major catch is that you have to redeem at a Microsoft store. There are many things you can buy at a Microsoft store besides computers and software. Maybe a mouse? We will get to that part later. (more…)

UPDATE- My favorite deals TODAY are these two with the following promo codes:
1. GROCERY35 is the promo code to enter for 20% off a grocery purchase. I tried a few things such as coffee but it did not work but it seemed to work for a case of Red Bull which made it way cheaper than I could have paid at Costco. I saved $13 on a case of Redbulls getting the price down to $24 or $1 per Red Bull.
2. PRIMEGCS – is the other promo code to use for #PRIMEDAY because it gets you $10 promotional code sent to you if you purchase a multi-pack of gift cards. I bought 3 $15 Amazon Gift Cards for $45. You will then get an email for a $10 promo code from Amazon to use in the future. Tip: Use your Discover Card for an additional 5%-10% back and click an Ebates link for another 3% on top of that!
Read below the jump below for the other amazing deals today!!
Amazon is barely out of it’s teens turning 20 which is actually quite a big birthday for a dot com e-commerce site that used to only sell books. To mark the occasion the mega-retailer is giving Prime members access to a sale event that they claim is bigger than Black Friday.
This may just be a way of rushing Back to School or really rushing Christmas shopping by Amazon comparing this sale to Black Friday. If you want to take time away from your summer vacation or a few minutes off work for the Prime Day sale it begins at 12am PT on July 15 and will push out new deals as quickly as every 10 minutes for a total of 24 hours.
You can sign up now and get in on the sale because it is for new Prime customers as well as old members. There’s no catch if you sign up for the 30-day free trial and still take advantage of the deals and cancel the subscription before you’re charged for Prime.
The sales will run across all departments, including electronics, appliances and apparel, and could appear as lightning deals and deals of the day. The sale is likely a play to entice shoppers to join Amazon’s Prime service. A yearly Prime membership costs $99 and bundles two-day shipping on select items with Amazon services like Instant Video, a music streaming service and access to special Kindle book deals. Read here about the benefits of an Amazon Prime membership besides the free shipping.
Make sure to use these credit cards to get an extra 5% off Prime Day and everyday charges at Amazon.
Amazon’s Prime Day will be a global shopping event offering more deals than Black Friday but exclusively for Prime members in the U.S., U.K., Spain, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Canada and Austria. Be prepared to stick by the computer or smart phone starting Wednesday, July 15 at midnight with new deals starting as often as every ten minutes. Shop thousands of Lightning Deals and seven popular Deals of the Day and receive unlimited fast, free shipping.
