Endorse on Facebook

[Abbybob]

Mod mommas, I'm not sure if this is right place, if not, pls. move it.

I’m sure that if you read other savings blogs, you’ve heard about Endorse.com. I am pretty excited about this new program.


Ok, this is a bit in depth, so grab a drink and sit down.
1- Endorse runs on the Facebook Apps platform, so you GOTTA have Facebook.
2-Sign up for Endorse.com. They ask for your mailing address. Endorse will send you envelopes. I’ll get to this in a sec.
3- “Endorse” your favorite products, stores. After you shop at your “endorsed” shops or for your “endorsed” items, place the receipts in the envelopes that Endorse has sent you.
4-Once the receipts are received and processed, you will receive a credit of 10% of your purchased price in your Endorse account, once you reach $25.00 in your account, Endorse will cut you a check!
5-Here’s a bonus: When five of your friends purchase the same product(s) or shop at the same store(s) that you have (they have to click and endorse that product/brand) you get your ENTIRE receipt total credited to your Endorse account. That makes the entire trip FREE!! WOO HOO!


Important info: The 10% will be AFTER coupons and tax. You cannot submit receipts from purchases that were made prior to your endorsement. If you endorse both the store and product on the receipt, you’ll get 10% cash back for both!


This is a long term way to save in addition to shopping with coupons and hitting up sales. Combine with Savingstar or Upromise e-coupon savings and you will be saving exponentially!


Just to be clear: CVS, Walgreens, Target, Walmart are all a part of this! That means our trips to the drugstore and mass-merchandisers would become even better money makers!!

Here are the few reasons I am excited:

• I can do this to save at 99 Cents Only! They carry a lot of the products that I Endorse. (Dole salads, Dole Canned Fruit, EggBeaters, Sandwich thins, etc.)

• I can get gift cards with my Mypoints Points and use them at restaurants like Applebees and earn more cash back with Endorse! It’s a win win!
• I can use my Upromise credit card to earn cash for Little Boys college fund and earn cash back with Endorse at the same time!

I’m off to Endorse a bunch of products!!



*** MOD EDIT 11/12/11

As endorse is evolving to help fit what members want and need for a longterm program, they are making some changes. These were sent in to use directly from Endorse:

1. We are reducing the rewards for endorsing grocery stores and retailers from 10% to 2%. We are also removing several from the service entirely- you will get an email from us if any of your endorsements are effected. Everything else, especially product and restaurant rewards, will stay unchanged at 10% back. And “5 and Free” for you and your followers will stay unchanged for all endorsements on the site.
2. We are adding 45 sub-brands of the major grocery chains for you to endorse and earn 2% rewards every time you pop.
3. We offering 20% rewards on twenty products that comprise your family Thanksgiving dinner.

OK, I joined and got a message at the top of the page __________ joined Endorse.

I checked e-mail and didn't see one from them and they didn't ask for my home address. Is it on file with facebook, so they have it that way? Or did you actually give them your address.

I love the idea of FINALLY getting involved with something just starting, not when it's ending :) Not that endorse.com will end, but so many other things I've done have ended right when I try to start them.

ETA - I clicked where it said settings and entered my address. I need a nap.

I Love Love Love this program!!!!

[Abbybob]

OMG... I just got this email:

Thanks for using Endorse!

We wanted to let you know that we have processed your recent POP. You have earned $137.36 in new rewards, bringing your total balance on Endorse to $137.36

And I just checked my endorse account and they cut me a check! I guess buying the new TV and PS3 at Sears and Target respectively was a great idea!!

Hooray!!

[ladyspl]

Nice!!! I just got my envie, and in 1 week have already accumulated enough to give me $47, so by the end of this week, I should be rockin it too! I'm so excited because this money is going to go right into my 3 girls' bank accounts!!!!

I joined this program a couple of weeks ago as well. I'm confused, though. How do you "Endorse" something? I'm confused about the process. I understand buying stuff and sending it in, but what is "Endorsing"? Do you post something about a store or product on your Facebook? Help! :)

[ladyspl]

at the top of their home page, you will see "Products" go under that heading. it will bring up subcategories. go into each category, find a product you will use and or buy sometime soon, click on it, then click the "endorse" button, and bam you have endorsed it. now, you cannot submit receipts for products and services you have not endorsed before you buy. so if you bought mcdonalds yesterday, but endorsed them this morning, that receipt is useless. so take the time now and endorse everything you think you will be buying, that way you are covered. posting your endorsement to facebook helps you get your friends to join. if you get 5 friends to follow your links and endorse your products, then you will get the full price of that item back instead of 10%.

[caylascreations]

Gotcha! Thanks for that explanation. It just seems too good to be true, you know?

[ladyspl]

I agree that it seems too good to be true. And because I am a skeptic too, before any of my receipts go out, I am blacking out any tidbit of credit card info that appears on them. I know that its not full credit card numbers, but we dont know the technology available to high tech thieves. I also thought maybe just submitting receipts that were paid for with cash, to avoid it all together. Truthfully, at this point, this is the only fear I have. My gf has gotten several checks from them, and has even talked in person with people who started the program, offering them ideas to improve it and suggestions to make it easier. Guess we will see for sure, when we start getting the checks ourselves. I plan to send out my first envelope on Friday. That will be my first 2 weeks of receipts and if I can net $100 each envie, mama will be happy happy happy! LOL
