We’ve been busy over the past couple of months, and late last week released the fruit of our labors: an update to KickItBack.com.

Enhanced KIB Shop Page

Key among the improvements we’ve made is finalizing our processing of KickBacks earned by any of our new retailers. When we decided to expand our eBay cash-back program several months ago, we knew this represented a sea change that meant a lot of development work. Since then, we’ve added nearly 200 new retailers—some offering as much as 15% cash back. Our KickBack processing for those new retailers has now been perfected, which means you’ll start seeing KickBacks appearing in your account ledger much quicker (usually just a few days) than they did before.

Another major element of this release is a reworking of the Shop page. It now features detailed information about each retailer. Now you’ll find for each retailer a brief description, product categories—and in many cases, exclusive deals, coupons and specials—all of which work in conjunction with their cash-back offer.

“Whether it’s Buy.com’s coupon for 50% off New York Time’s Best Selling books, ‘FootLocker’s $20 off $99 orders’ offer, or Newegg’s free Call of Duty deal, this new capability takes KickItBack’s commitment to saving its users money to a whole new level,” says Robert Green, KIB’s product manager.” The Shop page is really the heart of the site, and with the new retailer information and deals, it’s become far more usable, and its offers even more valuable.”

Finally, we’ve also completely reworked the site’s KickBack Details page, which acts as a ledger, tracking all of your earned cash back. The page now delivers many more details (available for each earned KickBack) and usability enhancements, such as date-range selection, filtering, pagination, and an easy-to-read printing option.

Our program has expanded to include 60 new retailers, just in time for last-minute holiday shopping. Start shopping now!

New Shop Page

iTunes, PC Mall, Avon, Macy’s, NeweggMall, Overstock.com, Flower.com, Mikasa, GiftBaskets.com, GameStop, Office Depot, and Foot Locker are just a few of the 60 retailers we have added to the KickItBack program. Just like always, shopping through the KickItBack program earns you a portion of your purchases back in cash. Our new Shop Page features links to all of our participating retailers as well as the KickBack and referral percentages you can earn. Some of these newly added retailers offer KickBacks of more than 10 percent! The eBay rewards program remains unchanged, with all relevant data and tools now housed on a new eBay Page, which is available once you log into the site.

We made some other important enhancements to the site, including the new My Account window. When logged in, this window shows your available cash-out balance and provides constant access to important links, including My Referrals, My KickBacks and Account Settings.

We hope you’re as excited about the changes as we are! Stayed tuned as many more enhancements, including the addition of even more retailers, are planned for the very near future.

If you’re like many people, during these hard economic times you’ve maybe cut back on your morning mocha to save cash. Or perhaps  you’re scouring eBay to find a better price on those shoes you’ve been eyeing than you can find at your local downtown shop or mall.

Oh, if only someone paid you to shop.

Actually, KickItBack does. It provides eBay shoppers who use it up to 1 percent of an item’s final price back in cash. Don’t worry; this isn’t too good to be true. Best of all, there’s no obligation. In fact, KickItBack is 100-percent free. Better yet: It actually pays you!

The idea is simple: KickItBack gives eBay exposure, which the online auction site rewards with a commission. And KickItBack shares that commission with its users.

Making money without shopping

“So,” you say. “This is all find and good, but I’m looking to make money without spending any.” No problem!

KickItBack’s Referral Program allows you to earn cash “KickBacks” when anyone you refer to the program uses it to save when they shop eBay.

For instance, let’s say your friend buys a CD player on eBay. She’ll get the item she wants, plus a cash “KickBack” for buying the product using KickItBack. And you’ll earn a portion of the commission eBay pays KickItBack simply for referring your friend to the site.

Just think of all your friends and family members who could be using KickItBack to save when they shop online. Each one represents a potential shared commission for you, and all those shares of commissions could add up quickly.

How easy is it?

To make referring friends to the KickItBack program as easy as possible, we’ve developed a number of graphical and text links you can add to your blog, e-mail signature, Facebook and MySpace pages, and almost any online communication you can think of.

These referral links contain your unique KIB user ID and direct those who click them to the KickItBack Web site. When your friends then sign up, their account is automatically linked to yours, meaning nothing more than you’ll earn KickBacks every time they use KickItBack, indefinitely.

And with the holidays coming, why not give it a shot? A lot of people have to buy presents, so why not get a little money back when they do so on eBay?

New Holiday Link

KickItBack’s newest link even features the program’s symbol sporting a Santa hat to get people into the holiday spirit. And you can tailor your link to read anything from “Get cash back on all your eBay purchases!” to “Earn Cash when you Shop eBay for the Holidays,” or you can come up with your own text to get people to sign up.

If you’re not a KIB member yet, why not give KickItBack a try? It doesn’t cost anything and it could make you some money. If you are a member, consider trying to earn even more with the KickItBack’s Referral Program.  It could mean more money in your pocket, and there’s no downside to that!

Kickitback.com is a cash-back rewards program for those who shop online. Accounts are free, and using KickItBack earns buyers cash-back rewards of up to 10% (or more) of the purchases.

Shop online with one of our growing list of retailers and earn cash back on all of your purchases. Your cash-back rewards accumulate in your account without any extra work from you.

Refer people and you can earn cash-back rewards when they shop too! Plus, they receive their own cash-back rewards for opening an account and shopping online. Everyone wins!
