The Dollar Dig $150 Amazon gift card giveaway.

by

thToday is Sept. 1. Thought about your holiday shopping yet?

Yes, it’s early – we’ve still got about 16 weeks to buy and wrap – but the smart money is on early planning.

A cash-back shopping site called Dollar Dig stands ready to help you out – both by saving you money on purchases and by sponsoring a giveaway of Amazon gift cards. Five winners will be chosen, for one $50 and four $25 cards.

Regular readers of my site know that I’m a diehard cash-back user. Not ordering through one of these sites is like begging to pay more than you must.

You’ll get a $5 bonus when you sign up at Dollar Dig. Once you’ve earned an additional $20 in rebates you can request a withdrawal.

How do you get those rebates? By buying stuff you were going to buy anyway – and by starting your shopping tour at DollarDig.com. Here’s why.

 

Dollar Dig gets affiliate fees when it sends send buyers to online retailers. Then DD shares a slice of those fees with us, the shoppers. Pretty simple. (Even so, see the site’s “How it works” section to avoid making a minor goof that might negate your rebate.)

 

Dollar Dig isn’t just for holiday buying, though

Savvy consumers use cash-back shopping to take care of daily needs, including but certainly not limited to diapers, contact lenses, vitamins, pet supplies, furniture, home-improvement items, office supplies, paper goods and drugstore items.

You can also get money back for subscribing to magazines, renting a car, using tax-prep software, filtering your water, booking airline travel, registering a domain name, doing genealogical research or even joining a dating service.

Dollar Dig has online coupons for the more than 3,500 retailers and services in its cash-back corral. In other words, no need to go looking for discount codes.

Seriously: If you don’t start your online shopping trip at a cash-back site then you’re probably leaving money on the table. One simple step can add two more layers of savings to your purchase: the cash rebate and the online coupons.

To enter the giveaway, do one or more of the following:

 

Be sure to leave a separate comment for each entry (e.g., “Registered at Dollar Dig,” “Subscribed to your writing newsletter” or “Follow you on Twitter”).

The deadline to enter is 7 p.m. PDT Monday, Sept. 12. If I don’t hear back from the winners by 7 p.m. PDT Tuesday, Sept. 13, I’ll have the random number generator pull new names.

 

The season of giving

Even if you don’t celebrate the December holidays, imagine treating yourself to the book, music or tchotchke of your dreams right now.

Another way to use your winnings: Helping others. Buy socks or gloves to drop off at a shelter. Have paper products delivered to a nonprofit. Order some healthy snacks to donate to the Boys & Girls Club afterschool program.

Or use the Amazon credit to help a friend who’s having a rough time financially. When you’re living paycheck to paycheck or in debt due to circumstances beyond your control, the holidays are a huge stressor.

Imagine how good it would feel to make sure there’s a gift under the tree for your friend’s kid. Talk about the Christmas spirit.

Note: Dollar Dig is donating the $150 worth of Amazon gift cards for this giveaway. I received no compensation to run this post.
