College students will spend over $600 on dorm room essentials, school supplies, clothes and electronics before stepping onto campus this fall ... and that doesn't even count tuition, room and board or late night pizza orders. Students (and anyone else) can earn cash back when they do their shopping via shortcuts.com new CASH BACK program (www.shortcuts.com/cashback) for back-to-school shopping. Most stores offer between 3% to 6% cash back on purchases – and if you're buying things you need anyway, it's a win-win and a great route to go.


This way come Fall, you'll get a check in the mail right before you're about to run out of money at school and call home. Cash rewards can be earned at 1200 different stores, including big names like Nordstrom, Macys, Target, Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond and lots more.
