Get Money-Saving Offers for Items You’re Already Buying with Offermatic

Offermatic I won’t lie, I’ve seen so many financial services (and work at home schemes) that operate on the basis of telling people that they can save money, and even make a little extra on the side, just by keeping up their normal spending habits, that it could make my head spin. This message usually instills a sense of utter glee in people, making them believe that they can save money with very little effort–and who doesn’t like saving money, right? I love saving money! I like to save money whenever possible. That’s also probably why I find myself obsessing over reviews and talking to people that use these financial services I find, but sadly, a lot of them aren’t as awesome as they come off as.

Via DailyWorth I discovered Offermatic, a website that tracks your purchases through your credit or debit cards and then gives you money-saving offers that are based on your purchasing history. The offers that you will receive through Offermatic are usually between 40% and 90% off. In addition to the offers, if you use your card at least 20 times a month with at least $1,000 in total charges, you will receive $1.25. If you register four cards and keep all cards up to this pace, you have the ability to earn $15 per year just by having Offermatic track your purchases.

When I first saw Offermatic’s website, I was honestly a little skeptical about the idea of putting my debit and credit card numbers into it. While the site claims that everything is safe and secure (not to mention free!), it takes a pretty impressive website design-wise to make me feel more secure. That could be the web designer and developer inside me, and I’ve been told on more than one occasion that I’m a snob when it comes to wanting to see clean, minimal websites rather than dull colors that don’t work together, or even worse, crazy vibrant colors that make my eyes want to bulge out of my head. Offermatic’s website is pretty… well, generic. It’s green, but not a particularly aesthetically-pleasing green and it could stand to be a bit cleaned up.

TechCrunch comes in to save Offermatic’s reputation, however. Turns out you can really trust Offermatic with your private information, TechCrunch tells those curious about the financial service that the back end of Offermatic is run by Yodlee, a service for core banking solutions and financial applications. Yodlee also helps those who are looking to monetize online banking by lowering costs, helping banks acquire, integrate and retain customers and they also increase revenue opportunities. So rest assured, your financial information, when entered into Offermatic, is in the secure hands of Yodlee.

Offermatic is very similar to the money tracker service Mint, some even say that they have downright copied from Mint, but people are still getting pretty excited over the ability to obtain some pretty awesome offers based on their daily purchase history. All things considered, it couldn’t hurt to give Offermatic a whirl.
