As time goes by, more and more cashback services appear to help with our online purchases.
If you are thinking of using one, you are going to like today's post: we are going to analyze the pros and cons of the main cashback platforms to decide, once and for all, which one is the best.
What is cashback and how does it work?
Cashback gives you back a fixed percentage of your online purchases and allows you to save on shopping.
Many of them work with famous stores such as Shein, AliExpress, Sephora, Booking… so it will surely not cost you anything to accumulate money in your account.
The fact that a platform pays you to buy something may sound strange, but it is a win-win business: these platforms advertise stores and when we (the users) make a purchase, these stores pay them a commission that they then share with us.
Remember to always make the purchase through the platform
It is important to understand that, for the cashback to be applied correctly, you always have to make the purchase through the link that the platform will provide you with. Otherwise, the cashback will not be activated and you will lose it.
For example, if you are going to book a trip on Booking and you want to collect the Letyshops cashback, you have to access Booking through the link provided by Letyshops or have the Letyshops browser extension installed.
Make sure you know what you are going to buy first, so that you can make the purchase as quickly as possible and that you don't end up losing the cashback.
Also, don't forget to read the terms and conditions of purchase of each store, as they vary from one to another.
Focus on one or two cashback platforms
As you will see below, there are many cashback platforms and depending on where you are going to shop you may be interested in one more than another.
It is not necessary to use only one platform, although we recommend that you do not use more than two, as most of them ask for a minimum amount of accumulated balance to transfer the money to your bank account. It will be easier for you to accumulate cashback if you do not diversify money between many platforms.
Beware of the extension if you use two cashbacks
The extensions offered by cashback platforms are very useful to make sure you have cashback activated correctly or to alert you when you enter a store that is associated with your platform.
So, keep in mind that if you eventually use several platforms and want to use their browser extension (which is recommended), you will need to install each extension in a different browser.
In short, if you use Letyshop and Beruby, use their extension on two different browsers and don't install any more third-party extensions or adblockers that may block your cashback.
Most used cashback platforms
Let's see which are the most used cashback platforms and what you should take into account in your purchases:
Letyshops
Letyshops is one of the most widely used cashback platforms and has a great reputation among shoppers.
It's available for many countries all over the world, including the United States, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.
It includes almost 4,000 partner stores and a very visual extension with which you can quickly find out if your cashback is not properly activated.
In our Letyshops article we tell you everything you need to know about this application (you can read it here).

Beruby
Another of the most famous cashback platforms is Beruby, a veteran in the sector (it has been around since 2007).
It's available for the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Italy and Portugal.
With Beruby, apart from recovering part of your purchases, you can earn money by interacting on pages, watching videos or filling out surveys.
In our Beruby Reviews article, you can read more about this platform and you'll get several tips to get the most out of it.
Widilo
Widilo is one of the leading cashback sites in the European Union, with presence in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and other countries, with more than 1,500 cashback stores and exclusive discount coupons.
Apart from having extended cashback on a selection of stores every day, you can also get your cashback percentage increased in the stores where you shop the most.
Megabonus
Megabonus has more than 3,000 partner stores, some of them very well known such as Shein, AliExpress, Booking and more.
It's available in numerous countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and more.
It has a referral program very similar to Beruby and very good: for each friend who registers with your invitation, you will get 50% of their accumulated cashback forever.
On the other hand, what we like the least is that it does not have a welcome coupon like the previous platforms.
myWorld
myWorld operates in more than 70 countries around the world and has more than 150,000 partner stores.
Although at first glance you may be impressed by the large number of stores that work with myWorld, upon further analysis the cashback offered is not a very high percentage compared to other platforms.
We are also not too pleased by the fact that they have no referral program and do not offer any welcome coupons.
Aklamio
The Aklamio cashback platform is available in several EU countries such as Spain, France, Germany, Italy…, and according to its website has more than 1,500 partner stores (which vary depending on your country of residence).
Unlike most of the platforms we have been listing, Aklamio does not have cashback for AliExpress, but it does for Shein.
Comparison
Let's compare in the following table the most used cashback platforms, according to the stores they advertise, if they have other methods to earn money, affiliate programs, exclusive coupons…
Platform | Number of stores | Web browser extension | Extended cashback offers | Cashback for interaction with other sites | Rewards for inviting friends | Welcome coupon | Exclusive coupons |

Conclusion: which one is the best?
In our opinion, among the compared platforms, the best is Letyshops: Letyshops has a very simple and effective extension and has more stores than Beruby.
