Camels... they're not just for hump day any more (or how 15 seconds can save you a bunch of money shopping on Amazon.com)

I do a lot of shopping on Amazon.com.  Now I'm going to share with you a way that you can save a LOT of money when you shop there.

Enter the camel.  Actual 3 camels.  CamelCamelCamel

CamelCamelCamel is a site that is used for tracking prices on Amazon.com.  It can be used in several ways.  When you are thinking about purchasing an item, it can be used to check that item's price history to see if the current price is a good price.  You can also set price alerts to be automatically emailed when the price drops below a set price.

CamelCamelCamel has a simple browser add-on for Chrome, FireFox, and Safari, which make using it a breeze.  When using the browser add-on, you simply click on the button from the product page on Amazon.com and get a report of the item's price history that looks like this:

From there, you can instantly create price watches with your desired price.

When the price of an item you are watching drops, you will receive an email that looks like this:

You can then click the "Buy Now" button in the email to be taken directly to the item page to buy the item if desired.

CamelCamelCamel has saved me a ton of money since I started using it.  If you shop on Amazon and aren't using this free service, it's time to start taking advantage of it now!

1,000 free American AAdvantage Miles

Here's a quick and easy way to get 1,000 American AAdvantage miles for free.  You'll also be entering for a chance to win 2 first-class tickets to anywhere American Airlines flies.  Since AAdvantage miles expire if there is no activity in your account for 18 months, it's also a way to keep your miles from expiring if you don't happen to be flying American for a while.

It's really easy, and will only take about 2 minutes to do.

1. Go to this link now through June 15, 2015.
2. Watch all 6 videos on the site and answer the question at the end of each video. (hint: you don't actually have to watch the video - scroll to the end of each one and just answer the question!)
3. Fill out the form with your name and AAdvantage number.
4. Wait for the miles to post.

1,000 miles for 2 minutes of time - great payoff!

Thanks to my buddy Shawn over at Miles to Memories for alerting me to this one!

TODAY ONLY - Sam's Club Membership for free!!!

One of my favorite cash back portals does it again.  (If you missed my post on cash back portals, be sure to take a look at it here)  TopCashBack has a great offer for new accounts today only.  Taking into account the cash back, gift card savings, and coupon savings, you not only get a year long Sam's Club membership, but you make money too!

While the Groupon offer clearly states it, I just wanted to mention that the Groupon offer is only valid for new Sam's Club members only.

Here's how to do it:

1. Go to TopCashBack and sign up for a new account.  TopCashBack allows one account per household member, so if you already have an account, sign up your spouse, child, parent, uncle, etc...
2. Once you've created your new account, sign in and go to this link.
3. Click the big orange "Get Cashback Now" button to go to Groupon.  (if you use any adblock extensions or software, make sure they are turned off so your purchase tracks correctly)
4. Find the Sam's Club membership offer and click the green "Buy" button.
5. Make sure the Sam's Club membership is the only thing in your cart and complete the purchase.
6. In about 14 days, the $20 cash back will post to TopCashBack account.
7. Enjoy your Sam's Club membership!
