  I haven’t seen anyone mention Rakuten. I see it occasionally on r/buildapcsales giving a sizable cashback (10-15%) on big ticket items like GPUs or monitors. I’ve used to some benefit, but I assume it’s the same shtick as honey.

    It has to be the same shtick as honey, but unlike honey you’re getting some value from it I guess.

    For a moment after watching the Honey video, I considered setting up a company and a browser addon to do the same, but be upfront about it: You buy items, we get the affiliate fee, but you get half the affiliate fee as cashback in a month or two when it’s been processed and paid out, at least for some large storefronts like Amazon and then other high ticket items like NordVPN which apparently pays a huge percentage out to affiliates because it’s so overpriced they can have outrageous discounts and/or pay affiliates.

    Then I realized it’d be a pain to set up on the legal side of things likely.

        Yeah but then you’d have to use Edge.

    Same thing, but it pops up with the cashback deal you will actually get. It’s at least splitting the money with you
