Spring sales 2020: A roundup of online shopping deals happening right now

Even though nonessential businesses are closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, online shopping sales have spiked, and a whole lot of retailers are offering deals.

Many have branded their current deals as 2020 spring sales, while others are just trying to capitalize on more people being online or on their phones.

The online retail giant is currently having a spring sale on its electronic devices. Prices have been slashed on some Amazon-branded products, including the Echo Dot and Ring Video Doorbell. Another limited-time offer is three free months of Amazon Music.

How you (and a friend) can earn an easy $30 for online shopping

This is probably the easiest $30 you can earn. All you have to do is refer a friend, and then the friend has to spend $30 within the offer period (April 20 – May 1) and you both get $30. Simple as that.

Typically, Rakuten offers $25 for each referral and referee with no limit to how much you can earn, so long as both parties meet the spending requirements.

Rakuten is an online shopping portal that used to go under the name Ebates. It partners with over 2,500 online retailers, from well-known brands like Target and Home Depot to smaller merchants like Glossybox.com. When you open an account with Rakuten, you’re eligible to earn cash back or Amex Membership Rewards points on purchases you make at these sites. However, you must start at Rakuten.com and click to the merchant through that site; you can’t go directly to the retailer’s website directly unless you download the Google Chrome plug-in.

To give you a brief explainer on how the site works, you need to know that Rakuten is able to offer cash back through its marketing agreements with individual retailers, which then pay the site commissions on purchases that begin there. Rakuten (in turn) then passes a portion of those commissions on to you, the customer. The retailer gets additional business and both you and Rakuten enjoy a cut of those purchases, essentially a win-win-win for all parties.

For those who are unfamiliar with Rakuten and think this offer is too good to be true, read our guide on Rakuten.

Bottom line: This is a simple earning strategy that anyone can partake in, so don’t miss out on an easy $30 for all the online shopping you and your friends are doing right now.
