Cyber Monday Deals

In case you don't know what today is, it is Cyber Monday. The day where you can find tons of great online deals. But you have to know how to maximize the deals.

First off if you are shopping online today or anyday for that matter you should go through sites that give you something back like Ebates or Upromise. While shopping through Ebates you can earn up to 25% back and 1-25% back while shopping through Upromise. 

Now that you know how to get money back from shopping online you need to find discount codes for free shipping or free gifts when you buy a certain amount. Several online sites will have FREE shipping today. Here are a few codes I found so far.

JCPenney - FREE shipping on orders $25 or more use code 25MERRY

Eddie Bauer - 25% off everything and FREE shipping (no minimum) use code CYBMON25

Target - FREE shipping when you spend $50 (no code needed)

Best Buy - FREE shipping when you spend $25 (no code needed)

Old Navy - 20% off and FREE shipping (any purchase) use code MONDAY

Macy's - FREE shipping when you spend $75 use code CYBER

Most deals are good today only, so start doing some research on the best cash back and best prices that match your budget.
