Referrals have been a big thing on the internet for years. You can earn points on MyPoints for referring new members, other sites promise you a free iPod if you get 5 friends to join, and so on and so forth. Now there’s a new concept banking on referrals, and it’s called FREEshopping.com. Any ecommerce company or online store can jump onto this new patent-pending way of making more sales, while saving your valued customers money. The first company to take advantage of it was FreeBlinds.com, and they’re currently looking for more merchants to go live with the system.

FreeShopping.com works by allowing shoppers to refer their friends to an online store, and earn a % back on whatever their friends purchase, up to 100% of what the shopper originally bought.

Rewards Program Example: You make a $300 purchase and then you find 3 referrals that each purchase from that same merchant. If each of those 3 purchased $500 in product you just got 100% of your product purchase back! $500 x 3 Referrals = $1,500. $1,500 x 20% Referral Reward = $300 back to you!

Not to bad for something you were planning on buying anyway, right?
