CrayPay: Save with discounted gift cards
TL;DR: The CrayPay app gives you discounted gift cards on tons of local stores. CrayPay lets you save by having you pay for a gift card (by linking a credit card!) for a discount. These gift cards are for stores that are found in your area, and they’ve got a pretty wide selection. All you do is link a credit card, select the store you’re at, and enter the amount owed. This will charge your credit card (at a discount) and give you an e-gift card for the cashier to scan and cover your purchase. They’ve got a retty wide selection, for example 4.75% off AMC Theatres, 7.25% off Banana…

The Ritual app
TL;DR: The Ritual app gives you points for ordering from local food establishments It’s 1 point per dollar spent, which is roughly 0.1% back. However, they also run promotions. For example, it’s dollarfest until March 22, 2019! Various places are offering something from their menu for $1 through the app, so check it out! Happy Ritual’ing! TheJKW

More Uber Cash back
TL;DR: Ibotta offers $0.75 back per ride with Uber. With Samsung Pay no longer offering $1 back per ride, Ibotta is now a good alternative for getting more rewards for your Uber rides. Remember, you can use this in addition to Drop Rewards, ShopYourWay, Uber’s own rewards system, and your credit card rewards. A full guide is here. Use code wrfhulp to start with a $10 welcome bonus! The Ibotta app’s main feature is also to get cash back on groceries and receipts, if you spend the time to click through their offers. Happy Saving! TheJKW

Receipt Hog: More Grocery Rewards
TL;DR: Download the Receipt Hog app to upload grocery/drug store receipts and get rewards! Receipt Hog accumulates points a little bit more slowly than Fetch Rewards it seems. However, it’s also one of the few that requires minimal effort on the user’s part to gain points. Just take a picture and rack up points! Happy Hog’ing, TheJKW

Fetch Rewards
TL;DR: Fetch Rewards gives you rewards for shopping. And it’s more passive than other similar apps. Unlike competitors like Ibotta*, Fetch Rewards doesn’t require any work from you except to upload your receipts. They’ll take any receipt, and give you points if what you bought matches any brand they have. Just download it from the app store and start scanning your receipts! Use code Q8DDH to start off with 2000 points (worth $2), and 750 more points for uploading your first receipt. You can start redeeming at 3000 points for gift cards like Amazon. Happy Saving! TheJKW *You can, however, still double up with an app like Ibotta. Start with $10 with code wrfhulp.

Uber credits: A guide
TL;DR: An update on getting cash back on Uber Credit Cards. One of the US Bank Cash+ credit card’s 5% categories is ground transportation, which includes Uber and Lyft. If you’d want to use other categories there instead, you can also opt for the Wells Fargo Propel Card which gives 3% back on Ubers, or 4.5% when redeemed for airfare if you use it in conjunction with the Wells Fargo Visa Signature. FreeBird. Download this app to get 250 points per ride (this is $0.5. They’ve cut it down since they started), along with $4 if you’re riding to one of it’s partner restaurants. You get $5 twice a week if you’re riding back home. Use code b2183…

Earny: Price Protection, Automated
TL;DR: Earny is an app that automates the process of asking for refunds when prices for your purchases drop. Not many people know, but many credit cards come with price protection. That is, for some time period (usually 60 or 90 days) after an online purchase you’re entitled to refunds for any price drops in the products you buy. However, it’s usually a hassle to track all your purchases and reach out to Amazon’s (or whoever’s) customer service when this all happens. Earny does this all automatically. They claim the refunds for you and pass the value on to you. It’s that easy. They also track late deliveries on Amazon purchases and find refunds for you there too. So what’s the catch? There’s a couple. Not all credit…

Get Paid to Travel
TL;DR: Airmule pays travelers for free, unused checked luggage allowances. Ever notice how airlines ask in advance how much of your checked luggage allowance you will use on an international flight? They sell unused slots to other companies such as FedEx and UPS and make a bunch of money on it. Airmule changes that dynamic by allowing you to sell your own checked luggage allowance by matching your free slots with courier companies who need to ship packages. The standard rate is about $100-$150 per package per leg of your trip. Not bad! All you do is set up an account and list your upcoming flights. Airmule will match you with packages, and all you have to do is…

Get Paid to Play Phone Games
TL;DR: You’re already playing phone games. Why not get paid for it with Coin Pop? Coin Pop is an app that recommends games to download and pays you by the minute to play them. For example, I downloaded Guns of Glory through the app and got over 36000 points an hour, which is worth about almost $4. While that’s not quite minimum wage, it’s pretty damn good for playing games. You can take these points and redeem them for various gift cards or credits (like Paypal or Amazon). The games are all pretty popular too: I saw Angry Birds and Candy Crush, as well as some other new and popular games…
