I have heard about this site and it is "not too good to be true". They give you cash back but only at a small percentage usually 1-5%. Typical affiliate deals online are about that much. They are just extending the normal affiliate deal to everyday people. For example, if you own a website and put a link to best buy, you can make a deal with best buy to get a few percent of that sale. On blastoffnetwork, they are just giving YOU that as cash back. They are probably keeping a small percent for themselves. The real power in the site is the pyramid MLM type of model where you also get a small cut of commission off of the people underneath you when they buy something. It is not a scam in the sense that it costs you nothing and you only make money when people buy something, so you are just taking a little bit of the profit away from say best buy, but you indirectly got your friend to buy from best buy because of this blastoffnetwork. They could have gone to another store but instead bought through this network for cash back and thus best buy shares with you the profit. You will only notice "making money" if you refer a ton of friends or if you buy quite a bit of stuff online. I make regular orders for office depot and best buy for my company and therefore would LOVE to get cash back. The site is currently closed for new registrants so if you have a link to become a member, let me know... this one I might just check out.
