Cash back! Get shares in a company just by shopping

I’VE written before about picking up loyalty points and rewards when you shop, but how about earning shares in the company just for shopping there? WeShop, an online retail company challenging Amazon, is offering exactly that if you shop through its new app or website. The app currently has 500 retailers selling through it and it is uploading 1.2 billion items every day, from fashion and electronics to food.

Every time you buy something you get 20 per cent of the value of what you have bought in shares in the company, letting you develop investment in WeShop without any effort. You also get shares (10 per cent of the value) if you recommend an item to a friend and they buy it. Then, if you refer a friend to the app with your unique code, you will get 1 per cent of everything they spend in shares for as long as they shop.
