什么是shopper和complete savings?（大汇总） (转载)

发信人: pettybaby (早日毕业),
经常看到Shopper和complete savings (CS)这两个名字在mitbbs晃来晃去，似乎还挺神
秘的，所以做了些功课，简单说，它们就是一个高级点的cashback website，cashback
额度比免费的网站(如Mrrebate，fatwallet)高，代价就是每个月有$12会员费。究竟值不值，
大家继续往下看：

声明：以下内容完全是整理粘贴了mitbbs和slickdeal的帖子，我自己都没有这两个会
员，若解释有误不要怪俺啊！

这两个program是同家公司的产品，区别是，shopper有购物cash back,CS没有，其他都
一样。这两个program不是直接去网站注册一个会员的那种，最简单的去某网站(如 drugstore.com 参见这里的drugstore 促销信息 link)下一单，付完钱后多数会给个连接页面，也就是邀请页
面，有可能是shopper，有可能是complete savings,拿到页面之后，可以cancel你的单
子，很不厚道哈。

两个都是月费$12，主要优势是：
注意：以下主要针对Complete Saving，但感觉shopper跟它很类似

(1）$10 monthly rebate
更新：我加入(反正前30天免费)了，亲自试验了一下，并且电话确认：任何purchase都可以qualify!!!!!而且不需要从complete saving网站里点链接买。Too good to be true...
(2) 买8折GC
网站本身有很多gift card都是$20 for $25 gift card，特别是油卡，chevron，
Shell, Exxon, BP的都有[更新: 有网友说现在这些加油卡和很多popular的网店,例如bestbuy的gift card 都不在这个program里了,选择范围小了一些]。限制是每个月限够4张，即$80 for $100，能节省$20元。

上面两条如果各位不喜欢的话基本就可以不用再读了，因为这就是它们的主卖点。对了，shopper还有不错的cashback，似乎ebay是5%。Complete saving好象没有.
=================次要benefits(主要是CS的)，没兴趣的跳过=================
（3）打印Entertainment coupon:
You can print most coupons found in entertainment books for ALL cities in
the US . Most coupons can be printed once per member only. There are also caps on how many coupon in a certain type you may print per month.

（4）$25 Visa Gift Card about every four months
注：本条好像是CS才有的，对应Shopper的购物cashback

很多操作能积攒点数，用来兑换Visa gift card
250 points = $10 gc
500 points = $25 gc
1000 points = $50 gc

you can get $10 gc in 2 months.方法如下：
First month
1. 50 points for initial monthly 50 points
2. 20 points for printing attractions coupon
3. 20 points for printing dining coupon
4. 20 points for printing shopping coupon
5. 20 points for printing grocery coupon
6. 10 points for ordering movie ticket
7. 5 points for change/update password (one time)
8. 10 points for road and tow registration (one time and they just want year
, make, and model)
Total 155 just for first month. 2nd month repeat 1-6(totally 140pt) and you will get 295 points. You can click print for the coupons with your printer disconnected or off and you still receive the points but just remember to clear them off your printer queue.

从上面看来，4month*140pt/month=560=$25 Giftcard


（5）类似AAA的road protection。。。无言了，它怎么什么都干啊。。。
