I am setting up a new site where you can compare the amounts of money offered by different cashback websites for shopping at various shops. I am looking for somebody to visit 4 cashback websites (listed below) and find out the cashback rates that they offer for all the shops in their directory:
[[login to view URL]][1]
[[login to view URL]][2]
[[login to view URL]][3]
[[login to view URL]][4]
You will then enter these values into a database, through a web based data entry page that I will provide.
Full description of task in deliverables. If there's any questions, feel free to ask!!
Thanks for bidding.

## Deliverables
Before you can enter the cashback values that each cashback site offers for each shop, you need to goto the first cashback site - [[login to view URL]][5] - and make a list of all the shops they offer cashback at.
For each shop you need to give:
*- Name (ie. Tesco)
- URL (ie.* [*[login to view URL]*][6]*)
- Category (ie. Books or Music)
(category can be found on the cashback websites)*
This information can be found on the Rpoints website, and this task will be really easy and quick once you get the hang of it.
Then goto the first cashback site, (rpoints) and login to the data entry page (I provide the link). It will show you the list of shops you've entered in Alphabetical order. Simply look at Rpoint's alphabetical list of shops, and the amount of cashback they offer, and enter it next to the shop name on the data entry page. Its really simple to do as it is alphabetical.
For each shop, and each cashback site, you need to enter:
- Cashback amount offered (ie. 10)
- Cashback type (% or fixed amount basically - drop down menu)
There are several hundred shops (look at the list of shops on <[login to view URL],10000&l=0,10000>, takes a while to load) that need entering, which means around **1000 values** will be entered in total for all 4 shops. It should take around 5-10 seconds to do each cashback value once you get into the swing of it, as it is ordered alphabetically on the data entry screen for your ease! I'm guessing that it will take you a day or two's work to get all the data accurately entered.
**If you can think of some way to automate the process, then I am willing to pay you extra for the automated script!**
Once you've entered the data into my database, you need to check that it is correct, by revisiting the cashback sites. You need to be very accurate when entering the data - _99%_ of the figures you enter should be correct.
