About this episode
The episode explores the concept of cashback offers and the implications behind them.
5 dollars back for every 100 you spend!? It's basically free money! But where is that money coming from and who is paying for it? Plus, is there a catch? Nothing said here is financial advice. Always do your own research and get help from a financial adviser if needed. This is only for educational and entertainment purposes.
