I know, I know. Christmas stuff already? But when retailers are already putting out the decor, then it’s on. Especially during this year when we’re looking for any event to look forward to, to take our mind off things.
So let’s think about presents instead. And delicious food. On average, people spend more than $1,000 on gifts, food, travel during the holidays. That’s a lot! But you can start prepping for that now to make it easier on yourself.
Below are some of our favorite ways to earn and save some money! Small consistent moves will pay off by the time December rolls around.
1. Pop Bubbles to Win Legit Cash
Seriously the best arcade game to win real money. Check out Bubble Cash, where each game only takes 3 minutes to pop as many bubbles as possible against real players for actual cash.
Currently, it’s #7 in the App Store with a 4.6/5 star rating with over 72K+ reviews!
“Finally, a game that isn’t a scam! I won $71 yesterday on Sunday, and today on Monday, it was already in my Paypal” – Mzmari
Play for free, and then switch to cash games to increase your winnings whenever you want.
2. Over $55,000 Paid to Members Daily - Join for Free
It’s about time you got paid for your opinions, right? It’s free and fun with Survey Junkie, which pays you with PayPal, gift cards, or directly to your bank account. Members get paid every day, and they’ve already paid out $76 million so far, so join to get your share!
“It’s easy to use, and you can get paid the same day. I really like that you can make a little bit of extra money,” Gabe L.
Just follow these simple steps:
- Click here to sign up for a free Survey Junkie account
- Take surveys
- Repeat daily and get paid; there’s no limit!
It only takes a few minutes to join Survey Junkie but remember to verify your email address.
Completing each survey earns you 20 to 100 points. Each point is worth one cent, and when you hit 500 points (or $5), you can cash out, which is one of the earliest cash out points we’ve seen!
3. Get Free Money Back on All Your Shopping Hauls
Check your pockets; check your purse. And keep receipts for your iPhone.
Just grab all your recent receipts from your coffee runs, grocery trips, restaurants, and gas station fill-ups, scan them into Fetch Rewards on iOS, and earn points for free money! Connect your email account, as well, to count DIGITAL receipts from Amazon, Instacart, and more.
Basically, snap a pic of your receipt from anywhere, and that’s it; you’ve got points for money. There’s no minimum spend, no need to select items manually, scan in any receipt from any store or gas station, and it’ll automatically reward you.
It’s free and easy to use and is a must-have iOS app for anyone who buys stuff!
4. Take Surveys & Play New Games to Earn Extra Cash
There are a lot of survey programs out there, but none are as popular as Swagbucks, a free rewards program where you can earn cash for your time and opinion. Members can earn an average of $50 a month!
You get rewarded for doing surveys, searching the web, reading articles, and playing fun games but the one activity that earns you the most points is completing surveys. (Don’t skip out on those!)
Points can then be redeemed for free gift cards, cash, and sweepstakes entries. All just by completing fun activities and giving your opinions.
New members can get a free $5 just for signing up, so join the other 15 million members already part of Swagbucks and start earning free rewards!
