ENDORSE! So how does 10% back sound?

There is a new app of Facebook for a business called endorse. Basically you shop at stores IN PERSON ie Brick and Mortar and then get 10% back of you final total minus coupons and taxes. AND even better is they have stores like Safeway, Whole Foods, Target, GAP, Kohl's, etc.

You can also endorse specific products like Huggies diapers, Costco (kirkland signature) baby wipes, Earths Best baby food, etc. Yes, I know all the items just mentioned are baby items, but this is what I look for first to get a deal on right now. They have 100's of brands to choose from!

So the way it works is you get people to endorse the products you have endorsed. When you reach 5 friends who also endorse your store/brand then the next receipt you send in you get the total back for FREE! Don't know how many yet this works for but even for just one what a great deal! Normally I wouldn't send stuff like this but one of the websites I follow (The Frugal Find) had tested out this site and wrote a blog post about it. Anything she finds that works and is a great deal like this I jump on. Even if you don't get 5 friends the 10% back makes this so worth it.

With your receipts you can either a) mail them in, in a postage paid envelope or b) take a picture of the receipt and e-mail it too them. Obviously the e-mailing would be quicker and faster especially if you have a smartphone :)

I have started endorsing some stores/brands already and here are links: I think you can see all my endorsements once you click on one of these links...I'm still learning how this all works.

Target
Peet's Coffee and Tea
Starbucks
Safeway
CVS
Whole Foods Market
Costco (kirkland) Brand Baby Wipes
Huggies Diapers
Earth's Best 3rd Foods

And I am working on adding even more! Checkout the site and if you are interested try to endorse through a friend like me first. So far I am the first of anyone on my friends list to Like the site so this is very new still :)

This is what the website The Frugal Find had to say about this:

Ok, grab a seat and get ready for this deal here – it’s a good one but it takes a little bit of energy and focus to wrap your mind around the details.  How does 10% cash back sound when shopping at CVS,  Target, Old Navy, Peets, Whole Foods, going to the movies, or off your favorite coffee at Starbucks?  I’m not talking about shopping online either, I’m talking about Brick & Mortar shopping trips.  Hitting the pavemet as you normally would, except now you’ll be getting a check in the mail for 10% of what you spent in the store.  You can also earn 10% cash back on specific products such as Huggies Diapers or Charmin Toilet Paper. Sounds crazy right?  It is but it’s true!
Endorse is a new company to hit the streets (based out of San Mateo, CA) they’re paving a way for brands and products to “thank” you directly for shopping their stores and buying their products.  It’s a one of kind idea and I think it’s brilliant.
This is how it works…

1. Head over to Endorse (Endorse is program run on the Facebook interface) and “Endorse” your favorite brands and stores.  When you sign up they will ask you for your mailing address, this is for your “POP” envelopes.  I’ll explain that next.
2. After you shop at Old Navy for example, you’d simply take your receipt and “POP” it into the mail.  Endorse will send you FREE pre-paid envelopes just like Netflix.  When you “POP” your receipt you are are sending them your “Proof of Purchase”.
3. If you’d rather “POP” by email you can do that too!  Just take a photo of your receipt and email it to pops@endorse.com, your account will be updated much quicker this way.  If for some reason they are unable to read the image they will contact you, so don’t toss that receipt right away.
4. It’s that easy, once they receive your receipts they will deposit 10% into your Endorse account.  Once your account reaches $25, they’ll send you a check!
5. Earn even more by sharing your endorsement with friends – if 5 of your friends purchase the same product or shop at the same store that you have (after clicking and endorsing that product/brand through your personal invite link) you get your ENTIRE receipt total credited to your Endorse account making that product/shopping trip completely FREE!
