Before you tell me, I know we filed this piece on cashback programs under just about every category we could on the site…. We know that isn’t really fair, but isn’t cashback just the best?

We tend to think so – especially if it comes to your account automatically and you do not have to remember to write in for a manufacturer rebate. To that end, today we are looking at cashback programs we like.  All of these are easy to sign up for online and effortless to work within most cases with cash coming straight back into your bank account or PayPal account.

Rakuten

The artist formerly known as Ebates has only gotten bigger and better since the acquisition and rebranding. mong their partners are some of the most popular online shopping destinations such as Amazon, eBay, Groupon, Sephora, Macy’s, and so much more. The money you get back will come from Rakuten directly.  On your account screen, you can see exactly how much you have earned to date. You can also personalize your account by noting what your favorite stores are.

Upromise

Backed by Sallie May this one is a little it of a different slant on the cashback program. Earnings here are primarily focused on either help you save for college or to pay down student loans. For any of us carrying a balance, this is a nice way to work it off without thinking about it.

Ibotta

Ibotta is a free app that gives you real cash back on every purchase. Earn real cash back every time you shop online or in-store, from picnic supplies to summer wardrobe-essentials.
