The first App I want to introduce you to is Shopkick. In a nutshell you have your Shopkick app at the ready while at a variety of different stores including places like Target, Meijer, Best Buy, Walgreens etc.
Ways to earn kicks:
1) Walk-Ins: some stores will give you points simply for walking into their store! Have your app open as you walk in and your points should immediately show up. If a store has a walk-in opportunity you will see an icon of a walking person underneath it.
2) Scanning: Once you have clicked on the store you are at you will see a variety of items listed. All you have to do is find that item while you are already walking through the store and scan it.
3) Purchasing: If you purchase one of the items on the list you just take a quick pic of your receipt and you will get points, typically quite a few. Keep in mind you aren't saving if this item isn't something you already meant to purchase (this is how they get ya).
4) Points per $1: Some stores will also include a points per $1 spent. You will see a credit card icon under the store if this is the case. Most stores seem to be 1 kick per $1 spent. Although Carter's is 3 kicks per $1 spent which is a great deal if you are already going to be shopping for kids clothes!
5) Linking a credit card: This is the one way I have not tried out yet, from what I understand once you link your credit card to your account you will automatically receive your kicks immediately without having to scan your receipt. Stores like Carter's mentioned above require a linked credit card as you cannot scan in your receipts to this store.
6) Online shopping: There is an extensive list of online stores you can shop with to earn kicks/$ spent. Just click not the store link through the Shopkick app and you are good to go!
7) Referral Bonus: HERE is where we can both earn some quick kicks! Use my referral code when you join. You can click on the link here or enter in my code in the promotions area (click on your pic in the top left hand corner, scroll down to promotions, click on "Add friend code"). My referral code is EARN778236 All you have to do is earn your first kicks within 7 days by walking into a listed store or scanning an item and you and I will both receive 250 Kicks!
Now for the details.
*In general 500 kicks = $1
for example a $25 Walmart gift card will be 6,250 kicks.
If you would prefer to have your reward sent to your PayPal account you can do that too $25= 6,300 kicks.
*Your kicks can expire if your account is inactive for 6 months. Inactive means you haven't earned any kicks in that time period.
*You can cash out for as low as $2 or 500 Kicks.
Now for the Disney fun! From what I have found so far this is your best bet for getting Disney gift cards the cheapest.
1) Cash in your Kicks for a PayPal credit, use your Best Buy credit card (or any credit card) at Best Buy to purchase $100 in Disney gift cards. Be sure to have your Swag Bucks app open so they can scan your QR code to earn your SwagBucks.
For Example: cash out $100 to your PayPal account (25,200 Kicks) Go to a Best Buy store and grab $100 in Disney gift cards. Make sure to have the cashier scan your SwagBucks QR code (HERE is a link to SwagBucks you will automatically earn 150 swagbucks just for using my link). I will be making a separate post for SwagBucks soon, in the meantime just let me know if you have any questions! Scanning your SwagBucks QR code earns you 2% back (this number may change be sure to check) plus when you spend the $100 you will get an additional 750 points. This will save you over 10% off your cards in swag bucks alone! Now if you have a Best Buy credit card you may use that and earn an additional 5% back in Best Buy rewards.
*The best way to do this deal is only purchasing $100 gift cards at a time as you can only get that 750($7.50) bonus once a day.
Now while you are in Best Buy you should have already earned Kicks just for walking through the door, and currently I'm showing 750 Kicks available just in scanning items as you walk around.
2) Now if you want to make it super easy you can just cash out for a Disney gift card to begin with
3) You can also cash out for a Walmart gift card and use this at Sams Club where they have slightly discounted Disney Gift cards (as of right now the best way to buy them is the $50 stand alone gift cards not the packs of gift cards).
WOW that's a lot of information! I have been doing ALOT of reading and I wanted to pass along all my info to you so you will not only save money, but also time from having to learn all of this on your own.
In my first 2 days I earned 900 kicks just for going to the grocery store I always shop at! Bonus for those shopping with kids, my kids have a lot of fun searching for the items on the list and of course using my phone to scan them, so much so there may have been some arguing about who gets to go next!
I think that about covers it, but please ask any questions you may have I know I put a lot of information out there. Look for more money saving app reviews coming.
Be sure to Follow me, and if you enjoy what you are reading share it with your friends. Thank You!
