How to save money with cashback when shopping online

Online shopping in Norway grows every year, and with it come new ways to save money. Cashback is one of the simplest and most effective methods. Here are our best tips.

1. Always check Sparebørsen first

Make it a habit to check whether the shop you are about to buy from is on Sparebørsen. With more than 260 partners, the chances are good that you can earn cashback. Bookmark Sparebørsen in your browser, so that the check takes only a few seconds.

2. Plan your big purchases

Cashback makes the biggest difference on large purchases. Booking a trip, buying new electronics or refreshing your wardrobe? Check the cashback rates at the different shops first. Sometimes you can choose a shop with a higher rate without it costing you anything extra.

3. Combine it with offers and sales

Cashback comes on top of any discount the shop already offers. If you shop in a Black Friday sale and get cashback as well, the saving can be considerable. It is money saved on top of money saved.

4. Use cashback on your regular expenses

Many people think cashback only applies to clothes and electronics, but several of our partners also cover insurance, mobile subscriptions and other regular expenses. Check whether something you pay for every month earns cashback.

5. Let it build up, then withdraw

Let the cashback build up over time. Many people are surprised by how much they have earned when they check their account after a few months. At Sparebørsen you can see your total saving in the dashboard.

A worked example

Say you spend 5 000 kr a month online and get 4% cashback on average. That comes to 200 kr a month, or 2 400 kr a year, without doing anything differently other than clicking through Sparebørsen first.
