Rpoints is free to join and gives you cashback when you purchase online from well-known high street names and online retailers. Members earn points for each purchase which can then be redeemed for cash using an online payment system - effectively giving cashback discounts on their online shopping. Cashback percentages are typically 2-5% but can be as high as 25%, on top of any special offers and discounts offered by the retailer.

The man behind the site is Richard Yendall, Director of Rpoints Limited, who has been running an online bargain-hunting site since 1997, now boasting over 20000 members. "Our members have always used the site to find the best online offers and gift ideas. When they buy from online retailers using the links on our site, we get paid a commission. The idea behind Rpoints is to share that commission with them, making their online shopping even more rewarding", said Richard.

"We have hundreds of partner sites, including many big names such as Tesco, Amazon, Argos, Boots, Debenhams, Dixons and Comet. But we also introduce our members to some fantastic, lesser-known online retailers who offer bargain prices or unusual gifts - particularly handy for Christmas shopping. And all you have to do to earn cashback is click on the link at Rpoints before buying from these sites. If there's an easier way to save money, I'd love to hear about it!"

More people than ever before will do their Christmas shopping online this year, preferring the comfort of their own home and the ability to search for gifts and find the best prices. Rpoints members use the site's community area to swap ideas, discuss aspects of online shopping and alert each other to the best deals and offers.

"Rpoints.com is not just a web site, it's an online community where members are always happy to help each other. It's ideal for someone who's relatively new to buying goods on the Internet."

In addition to cashback on purchases, members can also earn points simply for registering at selected partner sites and for telling their friends about Rpoints. Rpoints plans to build a large membership of shoppers over the next 12 months, enabling the site to negotiate even better deals and discounts for members.
