Be a loyal shopper - it pays

There is an unique and almost ‘wild’ loyalty program in the web that has the potential of helping you earn up to 1 million in cash! Sounds crazy? I thought it was. Introducing the utango rewards program that earns you cash rewards, known as TANGO bucks in your everyday online shopping purchases. This program is currently open to singles, engaged and couple who are married less than 3 years.

All you need is to sign up for a free membership and for a start, this completed registration process will earn you 1,000 TANGO bucks. Once you become a member, you can start earning reward points when shopping with the 300 or more participating merchants in this program. Merchants include Bare Necessities, GNC, HP Computers, Godaddy.com, Nordstrom, Sephora and alot more. You can simply browse through the category lists for all your shopping needs.

Apart from earning annual cash rewards of up to $200 a year, once you are married, you can apply for the Life-Stage Cash Rewards which earns you to $10,000 at 10 years, $100,000 at 20 years and $1 Million at 30 years. This is in force as long as you stay married and as long as the business is still operating. Imagine what you can do with these rewards and savings - buy a house, take a world tour, get married, invest in your child’s education - the choice is yours!

See, I’m a shopper and traveller at heart so I really care about who are the supporting merchants in this program. One of my favourites is Sephora which can earn me T$5 for every $1 spent. In case you don’t know, Sephora is a one-stop place for all your beauty and cosmetic needs with brands such as Benefit, Laura Mercier, Nars, to name a few. Another fave of mine is Hatley Nature clothing which earns T$7 for every $1 spent.
