TL;DR: Hooch is another app like Drop, or Pei that pays you for spending with their partners. Hooch is another phone app (like Drop, Pei, Dosh) that gives 1% back on purchases with major brands such as Domino’s Pizza and Starbucks. You can redeem your points for gift cards and other rewards. If you live in one of their partner cities (including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco among other major cities), there are even more opportunities to find partner restaurants/bars/merchants to earn rewards and redeem rewards in food, drinks, and travel. The rewards system is in TAPcoin, which is a cryptocurrency. You can start with $5 here. Happy Hooch’ing!…

TL;DR: Miles rewards you for everyday travel. The basic idea is they give you 1 point per mile usually, and right now you can redeem 6500 points for $5 in Amazon gift cards, giving each 1000 points about $.70 in value. You can also link your Uber app, for maximal accuracy and you’ll get 2x points per mile. You won’t get rich off this app, but it’s passive and free! Start here to start with 1000 miles! Happy Mile’ing! TheJKW P.S. New posts come every Sunday at 5pm, CT! P.P.S. Find more like this in the TL;DR of TL;DRs

TL;DR: Bumped is another app that pays you in stocks whenever you shop with their brands. The premise of Bumped is just like Pei or Drop where you attach your credit card and when you shop at certain partner brands, you get rewards. Only instead of cash, you get stocks. Previous partners included Uber and Starbucks and other big names like that, although it seems like these change. Bumped currently has a waitlist so make sure to get on that for when they invite you in. Happy Bump’ing, TheJKW P.S. Remember – new posts every Sunday at 5pm!

TL;DR: Pei is another app that passively earns when you connect your credit card. Pei is another app where you link up your credit card and you can passively earn rewards. For example, Uber is 3% back, Lyft is 1% back, 1% back at Starbucks, 1% back at Walgreens, etc… There’s also other perks (like if you go to the same merchant 5x you get a bonus, and if you complete some qualifying activities you can get 1% back everywhere for 48 hours). The best part is this app stacks with apps like Drop, as well as your credit cards and potentially any programs you have like Mr.Rebates. More to…

TL;DR: Dosh is stepping up and coming out with $0.8 back per trip Ever since Samsung Pay stopped rewarding $1 per Uber ride (it’s currently $0.5), it’s been hard to beat Freebird. However, with the current lack of $5 rides there (as well as new question of whether rides through Freevird are actually more expensive, which it TBD), it’s nice someone else is stepping up. Dosh now offers $0.8 per ride, which is on top of Drop and your credit card rewards. If anyone sees anything higher please let me (and our community) know! Happy Dosh’ing, TheJKW

TL;DR: Marriot launched a new Eat Around Town loyalty program. This program rewards 4 Bonvoy points for every dollar spent at a participating restaurant, and they boast 11,000 restaurants across the US. Just link your preferred card to the program. 4 Bonvoy points is about 3 cents in value, making this perk about a 3% back opportunity. For a limited time, they are offering 8 points/dollar spent until Nov 11, and are giving 1000 points if you spend over $30 within 30 days of registering. Note that signing up for this means your card can’t be on Idine or other related rewards programs, since they are all part of the…
