Make Money With These Free Apps!

You know that there’s an app for everything.  My favorite apps are ones that save me money or make me money.  I’ve listed all of my favorite apps for Making Easy Money!  It’s a great way to jumpstart your savings!

While this isn’t a comprehensive list by any means, I’ve collected some of my favorite apps that I use and keep in my special Make Money folder of my iPhone.  The best thing about these apps is that THEY ARE ALL FREE!!! 

Combining these offers and rebates with items that are already on sale help maximize your savings!

• Ibotta – a free app that pays you cash for learning about your favorite or new products and then buying them in the store & scanning your receipt.  No points or credits – real cash.  There are bonuses to help earn extra cash, plus several Any Item offers by store.  Get $5 when you sign up with this link and redeem your first offer! You cannot combine these with other coupons for the same item.
• Fetch Rewards – Scan receipts and earn points to turn into gift cards to your favorite stores, including Amazon & Nordstrom!  Use code MA4HH and get 3,000 points when you submit your first receipt!  That’s enough for a $3 gift card!
• Receipt Hog – This one you can scan any receipt and get rewarded with points to redeem for Free Cash & Gift Cards! Grocery receipts earn you lots of points, and other receipts earn your spins on the slot machine for a chance to win BIG points!
• Mackeena – If you eat organic and healthy, this is the app for you! Earn cash back on organic produce and specific brands of clean products by uploading your grocery receipts from any store! Use code FPPHSP to get 1,000 points to start!
• ShopKick – check in with the Shopkick app when you shop at participating stores to rack up “Kicks”.  Some stores have bonus kicks.  There are also exclusive coupons and offers for some stores, like Target, and you can scan specific items for more kicks.  Redeem for free mobile Gift Cards to places like Target, CVS, iTunes and more. Use code COOL915655 to get 500 kicks to start!
• Coupons.com – Select offers & then scan your receipts to redeem for Paypal Cash. You cannot redeem these for items where you used a coupon in the store. Printable coupons also available!
• Checkout51 – Similar to Ibotta.  Save offers & purchase the items, then upload your receipt in the app.  You can cash out when you reach $20, and they mail you a check.  You cannot use this one with paper manufacturer coupons.
• Dosh– a free app that pays you a % of your in store purchases at various stores when you use your linked credit card.
• Drop – a free app that pays you points per transaction for shopping in store when you use your linked credit card. Also get points for shopping online, surveys, games, etc. I just do the in store shopping points. Redeem points for Gift Cards for your favorite stores.
• Swagbucks – Swagbucks is one of my favorite ways to make money & Free Gift Cards online to supplement my holiday budget.
• CVS – store your ExtraCare card here (some red machines can read them), see coupons and offers linked to your ExtraCare Card, send coupons to your card, and see your spending balances.  You can do other stuff, like shop, track prescriptions, etc, but I just use it for the ExtraCare stuff.
• KeyRing – Scan all of your shoppers cards into this handy app and finally be able to close your wallet!  This app changed my life!  It also has coupons to stores that you have shoppers cards for, like Staples & Michaels.

Like I said, this is not a complete list. There are new apps being developed every day. What will you do with the rewards you earn? Last year, I used mine to get a FREE Dyson Airwrap! Check out this post to see how I did it & how long it took!
