As the holiday season approaches, it’s time to start thinking about one of the biggest traditions: holiday shopping! Whether you're an early bird who checks off your list months in advance, or a last-minute shopper racing to find the perfect gift, the joy of giving (and getting!) never gets old. But we’re curious: how do you approach your holiday shopping?

Tell us, are you more of a list-maker or a spontaneous shopper? Do you splurge on gifts or stick to a budget? How do you shop—online, in-store, or both?

These are just some of the things TopCashback wants to know. And who better to answer these questions than you?

We want to hear from our members about their Holiday Shopping preferences this holiday season. Take a brief survey via the link below and enter for a chance to win $50! One lucky winner will be selected at random on November 22.

Please be sure to submit your email address at the end of the survey to be selected at random. Participants are required to answer every question to be eligible for the giveaway.

If you win, you will be notified via email from our winners@topcashback.com email account. The survey closes on Thursday, November 21, 2024, at 6 a.m. PT.

Responses are voluntary and will remain confidential. All answers will be compiled together and analyzed as a group. See the full giveaway terms and conditions for more information.

su_A_veNovember 20 2024, 19:20 Both! I make lists, but if I see a deal I like, i'll grab it - there's always time to return it :)
MISSCHENGNovember 20 2024, 09:57 I am a gradual shopper for all friends and family! Shopping mostly online. When I see something that catches my eye that says the person's personality all over it :)
MgcookNovember 20 2024, 08:44 Shopping on line major deals!!
EshaANovember 20 2024, 07:40 I'm spontaneous shopper while in person and sees good deals that barely found when online shopping. Both have their own benefits.
WhitehouseNovember 20 2024, 07:38 I like shopping both online and in store. The real driving force is where can I save the most money and using Top Cashback helps with that. Even my kids will ask to check cashback before making a purchase.
Kadicha_kNovember 19 2024, 20:20 I like online shopping, it saves time and you get cashback
faithistgNovember 19 2024, 20:14 I like to shop online so I could compare prices and find the best deal! Sometimes it helps to take a look at the real item in the stores then purchase it online to get some additional points/Cash back!

leaminNovember 18 2024, 17:21 I prefer online shopping. It's good to save time and not notice the clerk.

Member1138712301504November 18 2024, 12:04 I prefer online shopping as it's more convenient and it has reasonable return policy.
bren76November 18 2024, 10:22 I like online shopping hate the time change it get darker fast and so much traffic

Nganpham91November 17 2024, 19:49 The holiday season the giving season.
I love to check for all the deal online for christmas gifts. Happy holiday everyone!!
Mackus84November 17 2024, 17:46 I usually stick to a budget for each person on my list. I also tell my husband that we are not allowed to buy things for ourselves after Halloween so that there are more options for us to get each other gifts.
Member1141204215815November 17 2024, 12:09 "What a great initiative! 🎁 The holiday season is such a special time, and everyone has their own shopping style. Personally, i’M more of a [Planner who loves making lists/Spontaneous shopper, etc.]. I always enjoy hearing how others tackle their holiday shopping! Plus, a chance to win $50? Definitely worth it! Good luck to everyone participating! 🎉"
axtridNovember 17 2024, 10:07 I usually shop with a mission in mind. I make a list of the items I need and use that list to shop. I love using Top Cash for bonus cash back at my favorite stores. I usually get other items depending on the bonus cash back I spend on what I need or if it is excellent. Depending on the occasion, I like to maintain a budget but am also realistic, and I know that I will potentially spend more if I find an excellent deal on an unexpected item. Overall, I try not to spend above my means.
Ulpan Suleimenova November 17 2024, 09:54 Super, klass, nice, cool
MgcookNovember 17 2024, 02:06 Love Online Shopping You Can Score Some Major Deals
Better Then In Store You Can Actually She The Prices and Know Better You Buy So You Can a Better Savings Unlike In Store Items Aren’T Priced or Labeled Wrong Put In Wrong Place So You Don’T Know Prices to actually know what your paying until you get to register it sucks
RaziyakasNovember 17 2024, 00:48 I buy everything online and my day starts with TopCashback. Now I take gifts for the New Year, and TopCashback helps me with this with advice on where to buy at a good price.
genshitNovember 16 2024, 21:50 I often shop online because i'm too lazy to drive out all the time.
SharonLANovember 16 2024, 18:04 I don't drive so I shop 100% Online. I use TopCashback to check for the best cash back stores before I buy almost anything. Every little bit of savings helps.
llaura256November 16 2024, 13:38 I shop 90% Online eleven down to grocery pickup. Having 2 jobs and kids it's impossible sometimes to lag them in and out of stores and get everything done. Also, when you buy online alot of times the discounts and coupons are higher, you just have to know the difference and when not sometimes the convieince makes it worth it as far as time and gas. 😆
Natalya KucherenkoNovember 16 2024, 13:04 80% I do oonline
BobbiemNovember 16 2024, 09:14 So being a savvy shopper, I try to get the best deal possible. I do a lot of my shopping during clearance events throughout the year and since I foster anything that isn’T used within our family, I donate to other foster children or toy drives to help ensure that everyone has a gift under the tree Christmas morning.
Member117574652831November 15 2024, 16:45 I listen to people about what they are into and try to get them things related to that and what I can afford.

I found this particular survey to be a typical data collection / Don't get your hopes up of winning type deal. I've not really found these particular services to be of any real use unless you end up throwing a certain amount of money / Effort in their direction.

I've never actually "won" anything from any of these surveys unless it was a very minor prize they were giving out uin abundance. I've found this out from signing people up, letting them do the say surveys I do and finding out what they ended up getting.


Ladybug7November 15 2024, 13:58 I am a bargain shopper, always looking for the best deal. Since, I like to support local small businesses, I start here, then look online.
chieartgroupNovember 15 2024, 13:22 I usually get inspired by whatever is on sale!
Member626698686904November 15 2024, 12:26 I shop mostly online and definitely look for free shipping! I also shop all year long to spread out the cost. I try and avoid stores/Malls at all costs.
Blg1803November 15 2024, 11:09 I shop both in store and online. I make lists but normally don’T stick to only the items on my list. I make lists not to forget needed items. I splurge during the holidays! I always seem to overspend.
anotheroneNovember 15 2024, 11:03 85% I do online.
Member139297383101November 15 2024, 11:03 I shop online 99% Of the time, because I can choose it quickly and all sizes and colors are available.
jared0120November 15 2024, 10:41 I do both but more online
Member1040925166053November 15 2024, 10:38 I shop both in store & Online. I tend to be a little last minute and get it all done closer to since I usually don’T have many ideas in advance. But I love buying people gifts!
Member1141160242711November 15 2024, 10:37 I love using this app it help with so much Christmas shopping
MommahawkNovember 15 2024, 10:35 Im a Christmas shopper all throughout the year because I find I can get better quality things at much better prices. However, when the holidays roll around I love to be in the decorated stores! Always looking for bargains because of the prices!
y2m2kr November 15 2024, 10:31 Check the my hotel money back July Thur November
Member433405057924November 15 2024, 10:24 I bake my gifts. Cookie baking starts mid November and I love giving yummy treats that lights up their eyes. Dollar Tree has a number of serving plates and dishes. You can get creative and design your own for beautiful presentation. It feels so much more meaningful to give from the heart than just run in a store and buy it. I do spend on ingredients that have gone up in price this year. Thanks for allowing me the space to share.
Member1141124582045November 15 2024, 10:23 I usely go shopping in online shopping just so I can find little gifts that can make my family smile
mlsq24November 15 2024, 10:19 I've been a stick-to-a-budget, list-making online shopper for at least the past 15 years now. Why bother with crazies on the road or in malls during the holiday rush?
JimGNovember 15 2024, 10:19 Would be awesome to win. I try to shop between online and offline, just depends what I am looking for.

Thanks
erikagalan85November 15 2024, 06:55 Would love to win this got 5 kids to shop for this Christmas so it would be awesome to get a little extra money added to my budget thank you 🙏🏼
Angiebaby86November 15 2024, 04:47 I’M known as the coupon queen and always try to get the most bang for my buck, so i’M shocked i’Ve never used this app before! As a single mom, the holidays can be financially tight, but i’M hoping this app will let me put my couponing skills to good use. With it, i’M excited to make the most of what I have and give my little one a truly wonderful Christmas.
Member1141125564508November 15 2024, 03:48 I shop online and in store, usually starting in October/November when I see a good deal for things. I’M new here with only one purchase under my belt so far, my dad has been using this for 13 years!! I’M excited to see my journey with you guys.
INNAJU777November 14 2024, 10:34 I,m new here but hope to save here from my USA shopping
