when you mention Shopping Portals, do you mean like RAKUTEN?



not sure? Im new to this and I've seen a lot of people here mentioning that they've used their AMEX cards and have earned lots of points through MSing in buyer groups and I also have those so wanted to see if its still viable.
Tyler’s Travels gave a great answer with using different credit cards. I imagine people using MR cards are maxed out on all the 5% Cashback cards.

As far as portals, check cashback monitor.

There’s a lot of potential issues with buyer’s clubs.

Some take 3+ Weeks to pay out.
Lost packages
Damaged Packages
Problems getting return labels
Changes in price
Abrupt closure of deals
Account closures (WM, Amazon, Costco…)

As always it’s Buyer Beware
