Make money by shopping or get paid to shop is not a new concept. The paper form of the get paid to shop in very popular in last century. Remember coupons, membership discounts, rebate or the famous black Friday – date after Thanksgiving sales? I used to go to Bestbuy or Officemax on Sunday t to purchase small electronic device, or computer accessories and fill rebate forms, then mail out the receipt sand rebates form to get rebate checks.
As beginning of this century, online retail business grows rapidly. Paper coupons and rebates are gradually replaced by digital format. There are many websites offer daily deal s of different retailers. Some websites advertised themselves as paid to shop sites. They offer their members cash to do shopping online or in store.
