Ibotta

One way to get a little money back from shopping trips is by downloading the Ibotta app. There are lots of rebates for each store. Once you reach $10 you can cash out via PayPal or choose a gift card option. I always just go for the cash. Since downloading the app I've earned almost $195 back. Below is a pic of my total cash back earnings. 

If you sign up its nice to join a team so you can earn the teamwork bonuses each month. The bigger the team, the more money everyone earns. If you'd like to join my team the code is: munnw 

Foap

I recently came across a fairly addicting app called Foap.
Foap is an app that allows you to upload your pictures and sell them. It's not a ton of money, you earn $5.00 for each picture you sell and you can sell the same picture more than once. Now, submitting photos does not guarantee that they will be published, and being published does not guarantee a sale. It really is a lot of fun though! Other users rate your photos, and you in return rate theirs. It's 1-5 star rating system.
If this sounds like something you're interested in, you can download their app for free from iTunes or Google Play. I'm not including a link because the site you find online, while still accessible with your user name and password from the app, is for people who want to purchase the photos.

Swagbucks and Bing Rewards

If you are searching anything online and not getting rewarded, you are seriously missing out. Swagbucks was the first rewards search site I signed up for years ago. Since signing up I have gotten lots of great rewards, Macys gift cards, Amazon gift cards and even cash via PayPal. You literally get something for nothing. When put like that, not signing up seems pretty silly, doesn't it? It's free to join, so there's nothing to lose.

Bing Rewards is the second rewards search site I belong to. I have to admit, I use this one more often now. I feel like the actual search results are better. If you ever use Bing's search engine and you're not a member, it's like losing money! There are lots of different rewards, I always redeem my points for Amazon gift cards though. Like Swagbucks, Bing Rewards is free to join.
Google better step their game up...

Money Back For Online Shopping with Ebates

This is one of my favorite sites. I have been using them for a few years now and I can absolutely say with certainty that they pay out. I appreciate the cash back now more than ever! I know lots of people are skeptical of sites where it seems like you're getting something for nothing, but there really is something to this. Basically, if you're going to shop online, go to Ebates first and find the store on their website. That will tell you the percentage of your purchase that you'll be getting back. Go to the shopping site through Ebates. The site pays them for your business and Ebates shares the profit with you. The picture below is an actual screen shot of my account page. You can see what I've earned and all the shopping trips I've gotten cash back on. Joining Ebates is 100% free and they'll even give you a small gift as a token of thanks for signing up!

My Points and BzzAgent

I know I've written about BzzAgent.com before, but I don't think I've ever gone into detail about the other perk, you know besides getting to try out awesome products for free. In addition to all the freebies and coupons, members also receive MyPoints credits. MyPoints is one of those sites that offers cash back for online shopping, but they also partner with BzzAgent. I have already redeemed some of my points for a $10 Amazon gift card and I've never made a purchase. All of my points have come from completing activities on BzzAgent. The only thing that's bumming me out about this site is that I can no longer find Amazon gift cards as one of their rewards. There are lots of other great rewards though so I'm sure I'll find something else. A few I'm considering are cash through PayPal, a Visa gift card, or an iTunes card.
Joining both of these sites is absolutely free. Neither will cost you a dime!

Search and Earn

There are a couple sites that I belong to that reward you for using them as your search engine. There may be others out there but these 2 are ones I personally know to be legit. The newest site, to me anyways is Bing Rewards. It's free to join and you earn points for every other search you do, up to 15 points per day on your PC and up to 10 points per day with mobile search. They've also usually got a couple search links to click on to get bonus points. The points add up pretty fast and the point "prices" on the rewards are reasonable. If you'd like to check them out, click here. The next site I have been a member of for years. It's called Swagbucks and like the site above, it's also 100% free to join and use. I have gotten a lot of gift cards through Swagbucks over the last few years. I picked Macy's gift cards and Amazon gift cards, but there are lots of different rewards options to choose from. The pic below is my rewards history on Swagbucks. They way is see it, we all search the web every day, why not get something in return?

Inbox Dollars

Inbox Dollars is one of my favorite sites for online earning. You can absolutely reach the cash out threshold of $30 without spending a dime. I have. Several times over now. They really pay and it's FREE to join! They'll even give you $5.00 to get you started!

Bing Rewards

So Bing has jumped on the rewards bandwagon. Yay! You'll receive 1 point for ever 2 searches you complete. The points can be redeemed for gift cards to Amazon, Game Stop & Expedia just to name a few! If you're going to use a search engine, you may as well get rewarded for it! Click here to sigh up FREE!

Earning Free Stuff at Amazon!!!!

This past week, I bought my daughter 2 fabulous pairs of Fall/Winter fashion boots and I paid $0.00 for them! That's right! They ended up being absolutely FREE! My daughter now has a brand new pair of Uggs and a brand new pair of Minnetonka boots! They are so cute and I was able to get them for free by redeeming gift cards that I earned by doing a few simple things online! The first: I use the search engine Swagbucks. It's a search engine that rewards you for using it! I've been a member for years now and I've redeemed many, many times now. This last time I got 3 $5 Amazon gift cards! If you've never used Swagbucks it's time to check it out! Search engines like Google and Bing make money from advertisers every time you complete a search. Swagbucks takes those earnings and gives some back to you! The second: Now I know I already wrote about this site, but I just can't say enough great things about Viewpoints! I have written a whole lot of reviews, and it's totally paid off! Each time I rack up 500 points I've been offered a choice between a $5 Amazon gift card and a $5 Lowes gift card. I have chosen the Amazon card each time!

Earn Gift Cards For Writing Reviews!

So I've belonged to this site for a while now, a couple of years actually, and recently they have started to offer incentives for writing product reviews. It used to be that every now and again they would offer a $5 Amazon Gift Code for 5 reviews in a given section. Now however they have a points system. Some categories are worth 25 points, some 50, and some 100 points! In the past week I've already earned $10 in Amazon gift codes! As soon as the reviews I wrote last night are approved I should have enough points for another couple codes! The reviews have to be at least 700 characters long, which really isn't all that much to write, especially if you feel strongly one way or the other about a product. There is no incentive for recruiting new members, but I wanted to share the wealth! I for one love Amazon and getting free things from them! Click here to check out Viewpoints!

Earning with NCP

I recently joined a panel called NCP, formerly Homescan. Basically,it works like this: when I shop I use the scanner they sent me and scan all the items I buy. Every now and again they send me a survey to complete. I'm earning rewards points that I'll be able to redeem for all kinds of different gifts. Right now, I'm saving up for an iTunes gift card, but they have other gift cards, kids toys, household items & much more to chose from. This is a legitimate company, no scams. It was simple t set up the scanner and I scan items as I put them away so it really doesn't take much time at all. I've also found an added bonus, because I'm taking the time to scan the items and look at their prices, last week I found that I was overcharged by almost $20 at 2 different stores! (Just FYI it was Kohls and Target.)NCP also sent me a free bag in the mail the other day as an unexpected thank you!

Online Earning With Inbox Dollars

I use a few different sites that offer money for online tasks. Inbox dollars is among my favorites! There are lots of ways to earn, including paid emails, surveys, cash back on shopping and using coupons! It's FREE to join and you'll get a $5 bonus to get you started on your way to the $30 cash out threshold.

Easy Money With Ibotta

Ibotta is one of my all time favorite apps that I've downloaded from the app store! It's FREE to download and its really simple to use. All you do is check out the offers they have before you head out shopping, do the quick couple second activities for the products you're planning to purchase and then upload your receipt after shopping. Most of the time there are offers for items I planned to buy anyway, so why not get some cash back?! They send cash to your PayPal account immediately, once you reach the $5 cash out threshold, which happens pretty quickly! There's no catch and the money is real!
