Cashback Motherload
TL;DR: This page is the TL;DR of TL;DRs, and will be updated regularly. I will grade things based on how useful they are, so we don’t waste anyone’s time. Things with A+ or better ratings are apps I’ve gotten hundreds back in cash back in less than a year. I will not post anything I don’t personally use.
Credit cards: A++. The mother of all cash back. Check it all out here.
Brokerage Accounts:
- Interactive Brokers: A+ Get started on your investing adventure here. Get up to a $1k bonus!
- Robinhood: B+ The brokerage that started the $0 commission trend. Get a free stock when you sign up here, valued at up to $500!
Personal Capital Management:
- Personal Capital: A. Manage your wealth in one place. Get a $20 Amazon gift card when you get started
Auto Cash back apps:
- Drop Rewards: A+. Get more cash back on everyday stuff, passively. Get $5 with referral code 4fdwa.
- Pei: A+. Very similar to Drop, get rewarded for everyday stuff passively. You can link your Uber/Lyft app. Get $2.5 with referral code lleyf0.
- Dosh: A. Similar to Drop but I’ve definitely earned less (still very passive!). Get $5 with referral code JESSEW50.
- Hooch: A. Similar to Drop/Pei. Start with $5 here
- Miles: A. Get passive cash back for travel. Start with 1000 miles
- Bumped: B+. Get rewards in stock, but very similar to other apps. Only not an A because there’s a waitlist. Get in line here
Food/Restaurant Cash back:
- Seated: A. Only available in certain busy cities, but if you find a deal here it’s 2-25% back, and requires nothing but a picture of the receipt. Get $5 with referral code JESSE244.
- Lettuce Entertain You: A. Get rewarded at Lettuce restaurants. Start with $10 in rewards
- Groupon Plus: A. More passive rewards when you link your credit card.
- Spring Rewards: B. Also passive rewards, but the app is kind of glitchy. Start with $50 spring reward credit with promo code NQZURY.
Uber/Lyft Cash back:
- Freebird: A+. This app gives so much cash back when you take Ubers. Get $10 when you use code b2183.
RideShare Apps:
