			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Ebates cash rebate shopping network is currently offering a Free Apple iPad to Ebates members who complete 50 referral bonuses.</p>
<p>If the minimum amount of referrals is met by our readers, <strong>Maximizing Money will give away the free Apple iPad to 1 lucky reader</strong>.</p>
<p>In order to qualify, you must sign up through our <a href="http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=L5IKnqa5C4EmOo2MYs0E2Q%3D%3D"target="_blank">Ebates Referral Link</a> and qualify as a referral according to the promotional terms outlined below.</p>
<p>Ebates offers a $5 sign-up bonus when you join Ebates for free and make your first qualifying purchase, plus you&#8217;ll have a chance to win an Apple iPad (if the minimum amount of 50 referrals is met by our readers).</p>
<p>We figure that the average person won&#8217;t likely be able to get 50 referrals, and we&#8217;re unlikely to reach that number without some extra help from our readers, so hopefully offering to give away the potential prize of an Apple iPad will provide the extra motivation needed, so that we can all benefit.</p>
<p>Basically, if you sign up through our referral link, then qualify for your $5 bonus and as a referral for us, and we reach the 50 minimum need to receive a free Apple iPad, then you&#8217;ll have a chance of receiving the free Apple iPad that we&#8217;ll give away to 1 referral, which is a chance that you wouldn&#8217;t otherwise have if you sign up through somebody else&#8217;s referral link.</p>
<p>The Ebates shopping network offers cash rebates when you make purchases from brand-name stores and service providers through the Ebates website.</p>
<p><strong>Details of Ebates Apple iPad Promotion</strong></p>
<p>Ebates offers current Ebates members a $5 referral bonus for each new member that you refer who makes a qualifying first purchase.</p>
<p>Ebates is currently running a special promotion that offers: a free Apple iPad or $500 if you refer 50 people; a home theater or $1,000 if you refer 100 people; a 55&#8243; LED HDTV or $2,500 if you refer 200 people; or a trip to Hawaii or $4,500 if you refer 300 people.</p>
<p>A qualified referral is a new user to Ebates who makes a purchase of $20 or more earning cash back.</p>
<p>To qualify for the special prizes, you must refer the new users between 4/23/10 and 7/31/10, and they must make their qualifying purchase by 8/10/10.</p>
<p>The highest bonus level qualified for will be awarded, and only 1 bonus will be awarded per person.</p>
<p>In the event that any of the bonuses as described are not available, a similar bonus will be awarded.</p>
<p>This promotion is open only to individuals who are legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico, and are 18 years of age.</p>
<p><strong>Maximizing Money Ebates Giveaway Offer</strong></p>
<p>Simply sign up as a new member through our <a href="http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=L5IKnqa5C4EmOo2MYs0E2Q%3D%3D"target="_blank">Ebates Referral Link</a> between 4/23/10 and 7/31/10.</p>
<p>Make your first qualifying purchase of $20 or more earning cash back by 8/10/10 to qualify as a referral and receive your $5 bonus.</p>
<p>If Maximizing Money gets 50 referrals within this time frame and qualifies to receive a free Apple iPad, we will pick a random referral to receive the free gift.</p>
<p>If the 50 minimum is not met, then no prize will be rewarded. We don&#8217;t expect to reach any higher prize levels, but special arrangements will be made if that occurs.</p>
<p>Basically, you&#8217;ll get a $5 bonus for signing up for Ebates and making your first qualifying purchase, and if you use our referral link and we reach the minimum amount of referrals, we&#8217;ll give that prize back to our readers and pick a random referral to receive the reward.</p>
<p>Ebates provides partial tracking for us to know who signed up and qualified as a referral, but if you do so and would like to participate, please leave a comment below with your email included in the email field (it doesn&#8217;t show online), so that we can contact you later if needed.</p>
<p>The prize will only be rewarded if we meet the minimum amount of qualified referrals within the promotional time frame, and if Ebates indeed provides us with the prize.</p>
<p>Check out our <a href="http://www.maximizingmoney.com/shopping/ebates-cash-rebate-shopping-network-5-bonus-offer/">Ebates Bonus Offer Review</a> for more details about earning cash rebates when shopping online through Ebates.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Gift Card Exchange from Card Hub provides an online forum for buying and selling discounted gift cards to other people.

Turn your gift cards into cash or purchase gift cards for discounted prices at the <a href="http://www.maximizingmoney.com/shopping/buy-and-sell-discounted-gift-cards-at-the-card-hub-gift-card-exchange/">Gift Card Exchange from Card Hub</a>.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Gift Card Exchange from Card Hub provides an online forum for buying and selling discounted gift cards to other people.</p>
<p>The Card Hub Gift Card Exchange is a great way to turn your unused gift cards into cash if you don&#8217;t want them anymore.</p>
<p>You can also get discounted prices on gift cards from sellers who would rather have the money.</p>
<p>In addition, the Gift Card Exchange gives you the option to sell or buy gift cards directly from Card Hub, but this option is only available for select popular gift cards.</p>
<p>The Gift Card Exchange can help you get huge savings on gift cards from many popular merchants, restaurants, and service providers.</p>
<p>You can connect to Gift Card Exchange with your <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/MaximizingMoneycom/106088417883?ref=ts"target="_blank">Facebook</a> account, so that you can easily communicate with other members to buy or sell gift cards.</p>
<p>However, since there is a trust factor involved when buying or selling gift cards to strangers, only in-person transactions are recommended at this time.</p>
<p>Gift Card Exchange simply provides a forum where you can connect with other people to buy and sell gift cards, but no further support is provided to guarantee your transaction.</p>
<p>Because of this, your only real option is to meet people in person to exchange gift cards, so you&#8217;re limited to people within your vicinity.</p>
<p>You would otherwise have to first require the gift card to be mailed to you or the gift card code emailed to you, then you&#8217;d have to verify the amount of money on the gift card, and then you would have to provide the seller with the money (or some other variation of this exchange scenario), so any type of transaction other than an in-person transaction would require a lot of trust from both parties.</p>
<p>Even after an in-person exchange, there&#8217;s always the possibility that the seller could use the gift card code to make an online purchase before the buyer has a chance to use the gift card.</p>
<p>To combat the issue of trust, Card Hub allows you to control which community members you will interact with in the Gift Card Exchange based on your Facebook connections, but there is always the possibility of something going wrong if you don&#8217;t know the buyer or seller.</p>
<p>This makes buying and selling gift cards directly to Card Hub the easiest option, regardless of where you are located, but you can usually get a better bargain when you exchange gift cards with other people instead of Card Hub.</p>
<p>Check out the <a href="http://gifts.cardhub.com/us/gift-card-exchange/"target="_blank">Card Hub Gift Card Exchange</a> for more details and to purchase or sell gift cards at discount prices.</p>
<p><strong>Gift Card Exchange Press Release</strong></p>
<p>Card Hub Launches Social Gift Card Exchange</p>
<p>CardHub.com Cuts Out the Middleman and Creates the First Gift Card Marketplace for Buyers and Sellers to Interact Directly</p>
<p>ARLINGTON, Virginia (PRWEB) April 21, 2010 &#8211; According to TowerGroup, the gift card industry was worth $87 billion in 2009 alone. However, 6 percent of this huge figure – nearly $5 billion – was wasted due to gift cards that went unused. To help consumers take advantage of this five-billion-dollar untapped resource, CardHub.com is pleased to announce the launch of the Social Gift Card Exchange. This is the first gift card marketplace to cut out the middleman and provide a trustworthy environment for direct user-to-user interaction.</p>
<p>Card Hub brings a new level of innovation to the industry with its Social Gift Card Exchange that not only includes the primary functionality of other gift card depots, but also provides a platform for users to trade their gift cards directly with their friends, neighbors, colleagues, and trusted companies.</p>
<p>“Our Gift Card Exchange is a hybrid of Amazon.com and Craigslist for gift cards,” said Odysseas Papadimitriou, CEO and founder of CardHub.com.</p>
<p>Card Hub’s Social Gift Card Exchange works like Craigslist in that it allows users to list their gift cards and sell them to other community members at no charge. In addition to listing a card in the community, Card Hub users will be presented with an offer to sell popular gift cards directly to Card Hub. Should they choose to accept this offer, they will be compensated for their gift card as soon as they mail it in. </p>
<p>This system not only allows users to get discounts on their favorite gift cards or cash in exchange for unwanted gift cards, but also allows them to trade popular gift cards at a profit. This is particularly true if a user wants to trade a gift card to a very popular store, like Apple, to a slightly less popular store, like Banana Republic. For example, if someone has an Apple gift card worth $100, they’re likely to sell it for close to $90 because of Apple’s popularity. Then the same person can use the $90 to purchase a Banana Republic gift card worth $110. In essence, they’ve gone from having an unwanted $100 gift card to a gift card worth $110 at one of their favorite stores.</p>
<p>Because it is tied to Facebook, the Social Gift Card Exchange offers a transparent and close community of buyers and sellers. It is up to each person to decide how many or few people they want to interact with when exchanging their gift cards.</p>
<p>“We empower our users with multiple options within a trusted community. The combination of community and choice is what makes our gift card exchange unique,” said Papadimitriou.</p>
<p>The Social Gift Card Exchange is building on the success of Card Hub’s initial Gift Card application for Facebook, launched in December 2009, which offered features like a maintenance-free Gift Card Wish List, a Birthday Calendar, and a simple gift card listing forum.</p>
<p>The updated and expanded version of the Social Gift Card Exchange is now offered on CardHub.com, in addition to Card Hub’s Facebook application.</p>

To help you in your quest to save, here are <a href="http://www.maximizingmoney.com/shopping/10-top-ways-to-save-when-shopping-online/">10 Tips to Save Money when Shopping Online</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many consumers are constantly on the lookout for ways to save in the ever-expanding world of online shopping. Whether you only make the occasional purchase or are a hardcore online shopper, it&#8217;s nice to feel like you&#8217;ve gotten a deal and saved a little cash when you click that &#8220;buy now&#8221; or &#8220;add to cart&#8221; button. To help you in your quest to save, here are a few tips that may guide you in the right direction.</p>
<p><strong>1. Comparison Shop</strong></p>
<p>When you take the time to comparison shop online, you might luck into some big savings. Taking a few minutes to make a few extra clicks is faster, easier, and cheaper than driving from store to store, and you may find that your extra effort pays off big time.</p>
<p><strong>2. Track Prices</strong></p>
<p>There are a number of price monitoring websites out there to assist you in saving money. By tracking prices and buying when you are alerted to price drops, you can end up with some great deals. Consider sites like Pricepinx.com, PriceProtectr.com, and a variety of others to assist you in your tracking.</p>
<p><strong>3. Shipping Discounts</strong></p>
<p>Some sites offer discounts on shipping when you spend a certain amount on their products. While I don&#8217;t advise spending more just to get the shipping discount, if there is something you need and you can order it while also meeting the free shipping threshold, then it might be a good deal.</p>
<p><strong>4. Payment Methods</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes you can save money depending on your payment method. Some websites might offer incentives for using their store credit card or a specific type of payment method. Other sites offer the ability to sign up for a credit card to get discounts on your purchases, which, if you&#8217;re in the market for one, could save you some cash.</p>
<p><strong>5. Research</strong></p>
<p>You might be hot on buying that new $400 electric fireplace for additional home heating until you realize it&#8217;s powered by the same wattage space-heating unit that&#8217;s on sale for $14.99 at your local home supply store. Doing your research can make for huge savings and might even keep you from making purchases you don&#8217;t need or won&#8217;t use.</p>
<p><strong>6. Utilize Blogs &#038; Online Saving Communities</strong></p>
<p>There is plenty of information and advice out there on how to save if you just take the time to look for it. Consider visiting sites such as SlickDeals.net, FatWallet.com, and others that are geared toward saving before you shop online.
