Editor’s Review
Although MainstreetSHARES is not a travel website, we review it here because it allows you to get cash back from Travelocity, Orbitz and other travel sites, simply by clicking through to these travel sites from your free Mainstreet Shares account. We like how easy Mainstreet Shares is to use, it’s practically mindless. Signing up for Mainstreet Shares is a very simple one-step process. After you have “joined” all you do is click on the link to the travel website that you want to book your travel through (ie. Orbitz.com), and Mainstreet Shares tracks your purchases made. You can easily see how much cash back you received on your Mainstreet Shares account page. If you already know you are going to buy something through Orbitz.com, then why not get cash back by going through a Big Crumbs account? We can’t think of any reason not to.
Many people wonder if Mainstreet Shares is a scam because it seems too easy (nothing comes easy, right)? Actually, there is no catch. This ingenious program works because Mainstreet Shares gets commissions from Orbitz (or any other retailer you use) if you make a purchase through them, and then Mainstreet Shares passes a portion of their commission onto you! We like to think of it as a travel agent that gives you a percentage of their commission. You are not limited to travel purchases. Mainstreet has over 16 shopping categories, so you can get cash back for buying clothes, computers, and just about anything else that you shop for online.
We can assure you that Mainstreet in not a scam. Remember, scams cost you money. Mainstreet is free to join. All of your purchases are made on the retailers websites (ie. Priceline, Orbitz, Travelocity). We don’t see how Mainstreet Shares can interpreted as a “scam” and we know they are entirely legit from experience. We personally have been Mainstreet Shares (formerly called “Big Crumbs”) members for over eight years, and continue to earn cash back every month from our referrals alone.
The cash back amount on most purchases is fairly small, unless you are making a big purchase. We are skeptical of those that claim they “make a living” off of Mainstreet Shares referral income, as we don’t see it as a huge money earner. It simply allows us to get a some cash back that we would not get otherwise. For example, when you spend $1000 on your own travel booking, you might get back $45 or less from Mainstreet.. and you get far less cash back from your referrals who book travel through them. Nonetheless, we think Mainstreet Shares is ingenious. You heard about it here first!

I’ve been a member using BIGCrumbs and have received cash back from my purchases, it’s easy to use and so what you need to go through their site to get your cash back, no big deal! I LOVE IT!
No complaints No problems… join and see for yourself
bigcrumbs is horrible when it comes to customer service and using them for ebay purchases….they will not give you your full credit especially if you bid/win/purchase more than one item from any seller…beware if using this site for rebates….
I have been with Bigcrumbs for a little over a year now and every month I make over $100 Cash Back. Some months I have made over $200. This program is for real and I only wish I had started sooner. There are so many people that still don’t know anything about this program so the potential of making even more money is almost endless. If you have any question on where to sign up, forums, income opportunities, or etc, you should use everyreward.blogspot.com. It will help you with bigcrumbs.
Bigcrumbs is legit, you will definately earn cash back. Check out my earnings from bigcrumbs, it is for real!

Bigcrumbs.com void all my account and my referral payments. They don’t have any contact phone number, address. You just simply rip off if they don’t response by email.
I have been using Big Crumbs for several years now. The cash back amounts aren’t huge, but they do add up. I use either Big Crumbs or ebates whenever I am shopping online.
BigCrumbs is great, I’m getting checks in the mail for things I was purchasing anyway

BigCrumbs is one of the best cashback sites on the internet. Not only because they give great deals because there are so many members but also the community is always developing and their site is so much better then those cheesy forum cashback sites. Check out my BigCrumbs Review! I have made almost $1000 in 2 years and now my checks are 100+ a month.
BigCrumbs is a great site! I’ve been a member for 2 1/2 yrs and now making $700/month! They are continuing to add great retailers…almost at 1,000 now! You can choose to get CASH BACK for yourself or refer others and treat it like a business. You will get paid down 2 levels! You don’t have to spend money to make money. This site is proof! It’s totally FREE with no requirements ever! Take a look and I’ll help answer any questions you may have.

Big Crumbs has worked for me — The person who refered me has made over $700. I use it for Ebay. Super easy and you get a large percentage of the seller’s fee’s back in your pocket. There are tons of other online discounts too. If you shop on the internet, you must have a big crumbs account.
