Greasy Palm .co.uk

Not the greatest site out there, but it’s far from the worst

Greasy palm .co.uk is an online shopping portal that offers you a cash back bonus on everything that you buy from one of their affiliates. You can find everything from insurance and financial services to digital music and DVD rentals, all with the promise of helping you to make a few extra pounds while you buy the things that you want.

Some people might think that it sounds too good to be true or that it must be a scam, and to them I’ll say that Greasy palm does what they say they’ll do. There is a catch or two, of course, but all told the site isn’t that bad provided you’re willing to be patient while your cash back bonus builds up.

I guess the big catch for Greasy palm is that you won’t be able to get your cash back until you’ve managed to build up £25 in your account. When you reach that point you can get a pay out, and they’ll send you a cheque when they hit their next payment cycle. Depending on when you request the payment this can take the better part of a month, and as far as I know I think they only mail payments once per month. I could be wrong, of course, since I’ve only had one payout since I signed up for the site.

The payout schedule wouldn’t be so bad, really, if it wasn’t for the fact that some of the affiliates that you’ll be shopping with don’t offer very much in the way of a cash back percentage. They all offer something, of course, and you get £2.50 just for signing up, but it can still take you a little while to hit that magic £25 threshold so that you can get your cheque sent to you. Like I said, the key to being successful with this site is to be patient so that the amount that you have in your account can keep growing over time.

It should be noted that not everything that there are ways to get some money in your account without having to buy anything. Some of the offers that you’ll see in the affiliates list involve simply downloading and installing certain software (including some popular free software that you might be using already) or completing other free offers.

There usually aren’t as many free offers as there are the ones you pay for, but there are generally enough of them so that you don’t actually have to buy anything to slowly build your account balance if you don’t want to. I’ve personally done a number of the free offers, with a few of the product purchases to help offset them when I see something that I want.

Even though it takes a little while to get over £25 so that you can get paid, I’d recommend signing up for Greasy palm. Even if it’s one of those sites that you only visit every now and then, when you hit that threshold and get your cheque then you’ll think that the time that you spent getting there was worth it.
