Despite the massive buzz around Bitcoin and other popular cryptocurrencies, a majority of consumers have yet to get in on the action. However, a new company launched today that hopes to change that—one online shopping cart at a time. Meet Coinback.

Coinback is a free browser extension designed to help consumers automatically save money and earn Bitcoin when shopping online at thousands of popular retailers. Unlike other coupon or cash back websites and apps, Coinback is the only company that gives consumers an easy entry point to get cryptocurrency for the first time. Also, existing Bitcoin holders can use Coinback to earn more and increase their holdings/balance.

Here’s how it works:

1. Download: Consumers download the browser extension from the Coinback website or Google Chrome Store for free. Users can then link their Coinbase or preferred wallet to their account to start earning Bitcoin.
2. Shop, Save & Earn: Once installed, customers can shop at thousands of their favorite online stores and the Coinback extension will automatically flag the best coupon codes and deals to use at checkout. When their purchases are complete, users earn up to 15% Bitcoin back, just for shopping with Coinback.
3. Get Bitcoin: Forget waiting around for checks and gift cards. Coinback credits user accounts or preferred digital wallets with Bitcoin as soon as they earn their coinback.

“Because the cryptocurrency market is booming, we wanted to find a way for everyone to participate, and what’s a more accessible way than through online shopping?” said Itai Kathein, Co-Founder of Coinback. “In today’s digital age, we know consumers want instant gratification. They don’t want to wait around for rewards that they may eventually forget about or never use. Coinback is the new cash back and we believe a true game-changer in bringing Bitcoin to the masses.”

For a limited time, new Coinback users will receive $5 in Bitcoin just for signing up. Additionally, users can earn an extra $5 in Bitcoin every time someone signs up for Coinback using their referral code.
