Also some people are able to buy things for their work or office supplies with the company card which also makes a difference.
Well, I do know that - 5% gets you more back than 1%, naturally. But still 200 is a lot to spend to get 20 of credit! So, to get 100 of credit from Shoebuy, it would take 1000. Not that I think anybody is spending THAT much at Shoebuy a month.
My point is I guess that I don't usually have a reason to make a huge purchase from a place that offers a larger percentage back, so I'm not going to be getting the huge chunks of earnings that some do. Nor do I have a company card to be buying large amounts of office supplies with.
I hope I don't sound whiny - it's just that I know I don't spend large amounts online and so the reality is that I'm not going to be leading the Big Board! I'm OK with what I do earn, and happy that I can earn something.
