How to make a free phone call to a toll-free number in the USA

Sometimes when making an online order online stores or private shopping clubs put your order on hold and request you to make a phone call. For example, this was the case with me when buying from BeyondTheRack and Timberland. Luckily major retailers offer toll-free numbers and you don't need to spend a penny when calling them (may be except for paying to your Internet provider). Skype is one of the free calling applications allowing you to make calls from your computer or a mobile phone to toll-free numbers in the USA for free.

Get additional discounts in the form of cash back from American online stores

Cash back services get a commission on each sale that is generated. Most shopping-based websites keep that commission for themselves, while cashback services return a good portion of that commission back to customers.

Cash back services are not stores, and they don't sell any products. They are just shopping services that pay you cash back for shopping online. There are no points to redeem, no forms to mail in, and no fees.
