The Fatwallet review that will change your life, haha. Fatwallet is considered a bargain hunting site and it needs to be found in the internet searches.

Fatwallet needs to be seen. Looking for a bargain site? It needs to be visible at a click of the mouse. But it does not appear as grand as it can do. So how would bargain lovers find out of their bargains if they have not heard of the online bargain site in the first place. Bargain lovers might want to shop online through Fatwallet, if they find it.

Another thing, the online bargain company needs to show that bargain hunters and coupon searchers have indeed benefitted from their marketing strategy. So far, one cannot see much evidence. Fatwallet is still an unknown website, except for a few, or do they make it exclusive for selected membership only.

What is Fatwallet anyway?

This is for those who has not found Fatwallet yet.

FatWallet.com (Fat Wallet) specializes in gathering the best coupons, deals, sales, coupon codes and rebates online. Fat Wallet also includes cash back in the services it provides. To get “Cash Back”, users of Fatwallet must register first before buying. The cash given back after shopping online to the customer is added to the shopper’s FatWallet account. It is later paid to the shopper through paypal.com. The saved money is then paid to the shopper through PayPal.com.

The bargain website has a forum for members where they share tips on saving the most including online auctions, contests, promos and hot sales items. Its “Hot Deals” feature was the item of controversy in the past involving big retailers that probably has been resolved while its Best Deals section launched in 2009 offers variety of deals every day. Compare Prices is a feature launched in June of 2010 comparing prices, cash back incentives, shipping costs and taxes.

Fatwallet offers might be overwhelming and it might take some time getting used to finding exactly what you are looking for with the best deals you can find and combine with.

It is not exactly difficulty signing up to Fat Wallet and it is free. You can request to be paid in check or through paypal with whatever savings, deals and cash back deals you got from shopping through their website. It is not clear though when the payment takes place or they have a minimum amount before you can be issued a check or paid through paypal.

A good feature of FatWallet is include in its discussions in the forum are financial topics such as investments, banking and credit cards. This is a good way of educating shoppers so they not only buy but also consider investing. The said forum on finance must be newsworthy enough to be cited in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times covering topics of financial manageability to credit cards and 401K investment tips.

Without so much fanfare though, FatWallet was named one of 2010′s 50 Best Places To Work in America by the Best Places To Work Institute and Entrepreneur Magazine. It ranked #20 on the list for best small businesses. Fatwallet’s Founder, Tim Storm was one of four finalists of Entrepreneur of 2010 by Entrepreneur.com, the national winner will be announced on January, 2011.

I still prefer BigCrumbs over FatWallet Review

Materials on the net are not enough to make a justifiable comparison of Bigcrumbs and Fatwallet or to compete them against each other.  There is no competition at all. Finding reviews on Fatwallet is like looking for a needle in the haystack. It is more identified as a bargain hunting site while Bigcrumbs is, as  defined by Wikipedia, more of a rebate site or a cashback company. So there, the difference and delineation of roles and uniqueness.

Bigcrumbs, is a cashback website described by wiki as which works when a customer makes a purchase online, instead of visiting the retailer directly, they may choose to go via a cashback website in order to generate a monetary reward for buying the products or services. The cashback website will receive a commission from the retailer and once the purchase, free trial, or information request is confirmed, that commission will be shared with the customer who made the purchase. This means that the cashback site makes a profit on the sale, free trial or information request and the consumer gets to recoup some of the initial outlay back or if they had a free trial or information request earn some money from it. FatWallet is a bargain hunting website, centering around a set of forums that allow users to publish deals and rebate offers on a comprehensive range of products and services, though computer-related products and electronics are most prominent in the listings, wiki says.

While reviews and materials abound on Bigcrumbs, it is almost non-existent in the other site. There was an article or two  on Fatwallet and the first one was about the company dealing with a legal dispute involving big retailers asking them to remove some postings found in the website and retailers ‘squeezing’ the website company on copyright facts. But this happened years ago.

There were no reviews, so how can one compare? It is like writing about something one has no or very little knowledge of. Fatwallet features coupons and cashbacks as well, as one of its offerings. Bigcrumbs offers CASHBACK to every purchaser as its main reason of existence. Almost every shopper, if not all shoppers, love the idea of getting some money back while shopping online.

Bigcrumbs has a number of satisfactied members blogging and bragging about the savings they get from shopping online.  They also enjoy the informative forum the company encourages everyone to join in. Extra discounts, bonuses and coupons are also given away every now and then. Another come on is being able to earn doing nothing.  Bigcrumbs gives a little commission everytime a friend you invited shopped online through Bigcrumbs. You only have to invite friends to join in and you get to earn everytime they buy. The company boosts not only of having thousands of buyers and sellers. Bigcrumbs also have thousands of Big and Small Retailers, all given opportunities to advertise in the internet for FREE. With better exposure on the internet, they are more visible to potential buyers, which means more potential earnings for them, for Bigcrumbs and the online members.

So everyone is happy about Bigcrumbs. That is the general theme of the reviews.

Ahaha… reviewing Big Crumbs can make you smarter indeed. To be able to write this article, I had to force myself to go and see the different sections of the site making me familiar with Big Crumbs website’s nooks and corners. Of course, I read other reviews on the internet about Big Crumbs cash back as well. And I am not regretting. In fact, here are proven ways reviewing Big Crumbs can make one more online literate and wiser and later on a bit richer!

1. Learn such thing as assured rebate every time you shop when you open the Big Crumbs page. Even then, getting cash backs sounds like another scam or come on to get one to buy unnecessary things, but hang on, you might be mistaken. At Big Crumbs, you really get to maximize your money’s worth. You learn where the good, if not the best discounts and deals are from the thousands of online stores available, with just a click of the mouse.

2. There are a number of reviews Big Crumbs and cash back generated which are really informative. Try googling cash back shopping and an uninitiated can quickly understand how it works.

3. The Big Crumbs strategy is a practical application of generosity and prosperity. Here is how Big Crumbs works: by giving or sharing commission to online shoppers (which otherwise would all go to advertisers), they get more buyers, the more buyers, the more Big Crumbs earnings, and consequently, the more Big Crumbs share this to members and shoppers.

4. Big Crumbs is the first company I know that gives CASH BACK EVERY TIME you shop online. The commission it gets from the sellers, is shared back you. The rebate is as much as 36% of the seller’s fee for ebay shoppers!

5. The same principle applies to sellers. Big Crumbs used to invite big shops only but now, it is able to affiliate even small Ebay sellers who in turn get extra promotion of their products and services for FREE! Big Crumbs imports product listings of their affiliates. These listings will be visible in product searches made through Big Crumbs at no extra cost to buyers. Both sellers and buyers benefit from this scheme which is best for Big Crumbs’ commission and online shopper’s cash back rewards too!
6. Once you learn the benefits others already enjoyed, you are on the look out of the same. You might decide to register and become a Big Crumbs member yourself for FREE! Big Crumbs does not ask you to pay anything to become a member, only get the cash back when you shop.
7. Even if you do not shop, you still get cash back from the shopping of friends you referred to and became members of Big Crumbs. While you might be skeptic about earning without selling or buying, you indeed can earn money at Big Crumbs by simply referring family and friends to the website which gave thousands discounts, earnings and savings already.
8. You can get instant and updated reviews on products you are interested in. You can get them online from Big Crumbs thousands of online affiliate stores and product reviews. Plus, you get to meet people you can ask information or you can share knowledge with from the FORUM and community section.
9. Big Crumbs review can give you business ideas on how to promote and earn more from the tiny hobby job at home via more exposure of finished products in the internet through ebay and Big Crumbs.
10. And lastly, although not the least, reviewing Big Crumbs has helped thousands of online shoppers save, now they are helping not only big shops but also small sellers sell and you can be one of them.

Who knows what happens next or what spark might ignite online between people who found each other on Big Crumbs FORUM.
2. While earning through the rebates of your online purchases, you can plan ahead with your partner where to spend a little get away costing you both a little less because your combined online rebates, which is as much as 36% of the seller’s fee (for ebay buyers) for every purchase, can cover gas, or budget for the picnic basket.

From the Wiki Encyclopedia, Consumerfraudreporting.org defined scam as: A confidence trick or confidence game (also known as a bunko, con, flim flam, gaffle, grift, hustle, scam, scheme, swindle or bamboozle) is an attempt to defraud a person or group by gaining their confidence. Confidence men or women exploit characteristics of the human psyche such as greed, both dishonesty and honesty, vanity, compassion, credulity, irresponsibility, and naïveté. Confidence men or women have victimized individuals from all walks of life.

This definition does not apply to Big Crumbs. How can one write about Big Crumbs scamming people when they use no trick, no catch or sleight of hand in the cash back company’s marketing strategy attracting thousands to log in and register as member to the rebate website. If anything, Big Crumbs do share its commissions with the buyers who made them get those commission in the first place- pure and simple, honest to goodness sales tactic.

On the other hand, Big Crumbs is able to get the confidence of its buyers and sellers, without the malicious maneuvering or exploitation part. If at all, Big Crumbs is able to scam away- more and more online shoppers and sellers – because of the trust it is able to build through the years. One satisfied member blogged “I have been a member of Big Crumbs since 2008 and I have not regretted it since.”

Yet, to give the title of this piece justice, I cite down how Big Crumbs do scam people away:

1. Because of the cash back popularity, people are buying to save and even get discounted prices or great deals, who would not be hooked on buying online through Big Crumbs. One needs to be a smart buyer though and not overbuy.
2. Buyers would not hesitate to encourage family and friends to join in if it gave them benefits from rebates,to discounts and coupons, to greater access to a great number of shops online without having to drive to different places.
3. Members are instantly attracted to Big Crumbs social networking and community cites with like- minded people who loves to share what they have and who have varied interests.
4. Where else can you find great deals, discounts, rebates and other promotions which does not exclude huge shops or small ebay sellers.
5. What other website gives so much benefit just by becoming a member, not even asking you to purchase, but only telling your friends about its existence will make you earn rebates already. Even without making a purchase, you automatically save from cash back of friends who shopped online through Big Crumbs- it is like earning a little commission for yourself for referring people to this cash back company.
6. What people don’t understand is that this is very feasible and possible since the more people sign in and shop online to Big Crumbs, the more Big Crumbs is able to give away some of its earnings.
7. There is no trick nor pyramiding since there is no money involved by way of contribution or membership fees. As soon as you signed in as Big Crumbs saver, you earn from the online purchases of the friends you recommended even if you are not shopping yourself.
8. In the present complicated world, something simple and feasible sounds like a scam indeed but it works for everyone in it so you will give it a try.
9. You do get special offers, coupons, and more discounts, every little helps, so why not?
10. It is very inclusive, whether you buy or sell, you earn. Even if you do not buy or sell, you still get the benefit of the informative forum and social networking section, you get to learn and earn from others. Just sign in and help others become a member.
11. Buyers can be sellers and sellers can be buyers, anybody can benefit of the Big Crumbs scheme and nobody would want to miss the chance.
12. And one of the most important thing to remember is: Big Crumbs gives cash-back rewards the most as it claims it does, so how can one refuse more savings and extra earnings?
