Save More with ShopBack

For Labor Day, I wanted a quick overnight getaway with my parents. I am an only child and a proud cheapskate. Like I said on my previous post, I like to save as much as I can so I can spend on more stuff, so I looked (and looked and looked) for cheap accommodations.

After days of scouring the world wide web, I decided to treat my parents to The Oriental Bataan (maybe I'll do a hotel feature next time...). I compared prices among the hotel website, Agoda, Expedia, Booking, and Hotels. I chose Expedia because it has the cheapest listing - PhP5488 overnight in an executive twin room for 3 pax with free breakfast. It's still a bit expensive but I think it was fine to spend just a bit more for the people who brought me into this world :)

Before paying, I remembered stumbling upon ShopBack.ph - a site that literally lets you get your cash back when you shop online. You can buy from ZALORA, Lazada, Expedia, foodpanda, Sephora, and many more and you get a portion of your purchase back. In my case, I got 6% less on my booking on Expedia plus an additional PhP100 bonus -- that's PhP429.11 I earned back just by signing up on ShopBack!

(It says pending since it has not yet been 60 days since my purchase)
So, how exactly can you use ShopBack?
