I've been using Honey for the past few months and I've earned about 3 $10 Amazon gift cards so far.
Pretty nice just for shopping with using Honey. I have more on the way.

I would imagine you could earn so much more :)

I recently place about $5k worth of products for my ebay but the sad thing is this particular store isn't eligible
for Honey or any other cashback site. If it were, I'd have a couple hundred bucks back in my pocket for sure :(

One of the cashback sites I've used for a couple years now is Rebatesme. I think I've cashed out a few hundred
bucks but now that I'm mostly using honey or different coupon codes, I don't think I'm getting anymore from rebatesme.

It seems that you cannot use multiple services for one online transaction/order (that would be sort of cheating).

I'm curious to know what others have been earning with honey or cashback sites?
 
I mainly just use Honey. I do like GetUpside for some cash back for gas. Drop, Pei, and Ibotta seems good too.
Also, Acorns is sort of similar. Besides putting the change of every purchase you make into the acorns investment account, there are a lot of companies/stores that will do cashback to your account. So not only will the change of my 4.85 purchase be invested, Walmart may give me 75 cents too. It's crazy how much this all adds up.
 
I use TCB for most of the purchases if there's a CB % difference. If they are the same, I go with Rakuten and have my rewards as Amex MR points that's more valuable.
 
Honey isn't cashback as far as I know. Some of my reseller friends use Rakuten and others, saving 1000's per month.
 
It looks like Honey just got rid of amazon gift cards as a way to redeem honey gold. I don't know why. That's odd.
I redeemed all my honey gold just collecting Amazon gift cards. Now I have to find another way to redeem them :(
 
I use honey and recently started using myworld cashback, It doesn't support everything but you can get some money back locally.
I'm also looking into ai.marketing but I'm not too sure about it, since I just found out about it.

Honey and all these cashback sites are essentially just affiliates. They give you a back a % of their affiliate cut.

In honey's case, paypal just purchased them and they overpaid. they will look for ways to make back their margins and cutting out easy redemption for cash is one way.

is that why Honey won't redeem anymore via Amazon gift cards? It's so strange they just cut it out but they kept all the other ones like Target, Ebay, Walmart, Macy's, Google Play, The Home Depot etc
