LE + ECO – Specialized sites, service ociated with bank cards… the offers allowing you to recover part of the price of your purchases are multiplying. But is the consumer really a winner?
5% reimbursed on the site of a shoemaker, up to 10% for the reservation of a residence for the holidays, 5 euros in a supermarket, 1.5% on purchases on a large site of cultural goods, 6% for the rental of a car or 3% on a decoration site… The list is still very long.

But is it really interesting? Can we do good business or is it the mirror to the larks? A few tips to stay a winner.
