I have never enjoyed crowds or malls. I do venture inside if the restaurant we where we want to dine at is inside or the shop where a much needed item can only be purchased at a local mall store. That said, I never heard of Shopback before but I am 100% all for anything that will save a buck (or Peso) and return some of my money. Learning something new that will save us more is always worthwhile.
