What is the CashBack Facebook Application?

CashBack is an amazing money saving application. Not only can you easily find good deals on products you commonly buy, CashBack actually pays you a percentage of the product price if buy a product with one of their merchants. So, not only do you start off with a good deal, you get some of your money back as well. The list of partnered merchants aren’t small fries either. It includes Blockbusters, iTunes, and Amazon. When you install the app, links show up in your left hand column of your profile page listing all the top CashBack Deals. In order to get the deal, you just have to click on it.

If you want to receive a check in the mail, you will have to provide some personal info, but this is all done on a secure server, so you shouldn’t have any worries

CashBack takes advantage of Facebook’s social network by allowing users to submit deals they’ve seen on the internet. By leveraging the “hive mind” of Facebook, CashBack users can be assured they know about the most recent and best deals.

CashBack Pros

• Save money in two ways: 1) get an initial good deal and 2) get paid for purchasing.
• Easy to use. There isn’t a multi step install process that some apps have.
• Leverages Facebook’s social network by allowing users to submit deals.

CashBack Cons

• Not many users… yet. As of this writing there are only 130 CashBack users. Consequently, the amount of user submitted deals will be low. As more people start using this app and submitting deals, the list of available deals will increase.
• No payment for submitting deals. I think a cool feature would be if you get a percentage of the sell price if you submitted a deal. I don’t know if this would be feasible, but I definitely think it would encourage more people to use it.
• No “Best Submitter” ranking. I think another nice addition would be showing who’s submitted the most as well as a ranking for the best submissions. It would be like a reputation system. If one person has a reputation of always submitting good deals, I want to see what he’s submitting. If another submits crap deals, I want to avoid reading his submissions.
