Cashback on Superman Capes
Remember when AltaVista was all the rage, and no one ever heard of Google? Ah, the nineties…I remember those days. It seems like Google has a monopoly on the minds of seekers everywhere, and occasionally something else comes along to either satisfy the contrarians who want to “get off the grid,” and say “no” to popular search, introduce a better technology, or just simple add things to the existing search engines.
The latest one I have been introduced to is AAfter.com. I was told by a friend that I could find local business faster using AAfter.com search. That remains to be seen, but what I do know, is that the search engine shows me results from Wikipedia, the Yellow Pages, as well as a standard internet search all at once. Oh, I suppose with having that “all right there,” it would be faster. I find what works best is if you ask it a question, similar to how Ask Jeeves used to be.
Apparently, when you search, you can get cashback for yourself. I thought I read that you could apply it to your favorite participating charity, but I will need to dig a little further on that and report back. When you search for items you are looking for, you can search rebates and receive a certain amount of cash back through AAfter.com. After you accrue $10.00, you can cash out. The rebates percentages are in bold. Of course, you have to go to those websites and purchase something to be eligible.
I decided to check out something that everyone who reads is more interested in: Fedoras. When I typed it in, I didn’t get a hat site right off the bat, but what I did get was a Superman store. What is a Superman store? You can buy anything you can think of having to do with Superman, but were afraid to even think about. What’s more, is if you buy something, you apparently get a 9% cashback rebate on it.
I decided that fedoras may be too specific a keyword, and so proceeded to enter in “vintage suits.” Well, I didn’t get any vintage clothing sites, but I did get this at the top of the list:
I will give them points for Joseph A. Banks showing up, as they have classic styles, but the first result is the very, very retro stylings of Santa Claus! I guess I should have been a little more specific. At any rate, there are a lot of other things you can search for and get rebates on, such as chocolate. For now, you will have to be content with using the search engine to find things that you want, rather than counting on a rebate. Of course, you could cash in the money and buy whatever vintage thing you want. It is a very interesting concept.
If you have tried it out, comment and let me know what you thought.
