Extra discounts (I saved an extra $674 worth last year on things we normally buy)
Extra points (I got 40,000 extra reward points worth $200)

Both programs have a variety of ways to earn points from shopping, petrol, flights, hotels and more. Sign up for Qantas here and Velocity here.
Your first step needs to be getting the apps and Chrome extensions installed.
They can notify you when you are on a site eligible for cash back and how much you will get.
The ones I use are:
CashRewards: By far my favourite as it usually has the highest cash back offer, the payments are processed easily and customer services has been good.
Simply join CashRewards for free, activate it when you see the cash back offer and get a bonus $20 cash back with your first purchase over $20.
Shopback: Works the same as CashRewards. You can only activate and use one so I compare to see which one is offering me a better deal.
Join Shopback for free and get a bonus after your first purchase through them too.
With Shopback you can get discounted movie tickets and if it is your first time using them, with the bonus cash back they work out to be under $20 for 2 tickets!
Honey: Slightly different, Honey offers cash back but also scans for discounts and coupon codes. Join Honey for free here.
Swagbucks: Best known as an online survey site, they also have a cash back program with the cash being awarded in points you accrue and cash out. Join free here.
ReceiptJar: This is for after your purchase is final. Upload your receipt and get points. Once you reach 1,000 points you can get a gift card.
Join free with the code KYLIT3QH2 and get a bonus 200 points when you upload your first receipt.
