Since we’re safer at home, everyone is burning through content and activities to a point where you’re like “ok, done, what’s next?”
So when you want to take a break from binge-watching shows, making pancake cereal, or putting together puzzles, we’ve got some ideas.
All you need is reliable internet and your smartphone that’s already glued to your hands to check out the mix of productive and fun apps below that can ease some of that boredom. Some will even provide some financial guidance since that’s on your New Year resolutions right?
1. Spin to Win - Earn Virtual Coins to Build Adventurous Villages (And Raid Others)
Coin Master is a free casual game that’s amassed over 81 million downloads and has earned the rep of being one of the most interactive games on the market.
Spin to earn virtual coins, chances to raid other villages, and build up your own village to move to the next level. There are over 200 uniquely themed villages to build including Steampunk Land, LA Dreams, Magical Forest, Hell’s Village, and more. Pets can also be raised to help you get more coins.
When you need a little break from the real world, head into Coin Master to play for free!
2. Get Up to $2,500 in Credit to Shop
If you have anything leftover from the recent stimulus check, stretch the funds even further when you shop at Zebit instead.
They offer over 90,000 items in their marketplace featuring brands like Apple, Beats, LG, Cuisinart, eGift cards, and more with no membership fees, no hidden fees, and no penalties.
Once approved, you’ll get up to $2,500 of credit to shop their marketplace and the ability to spread payments out over time. It’s great for large purchases like TVs, appliances, and new phones.
Signing up for Zebit is free and doesn’t affect your FICO score. To prevent fraud and identity theft, they ask for the last 4 digits of your SSN and annual income, which they verify using certain credit reporting agencies, so not all applicants are approved, but there is no FICO score pulled! And don’t worry, Zebit uses bank-grade encryption and they don’t sell your info.
3. The Streaming Service That’ll Actually Save You Money Over Time
Cable tv costs an average $60 a month which resulted in 40 million Americans* cutting the cord last year to save that chunk of money. No wonder streaming services that cost as low as $6.99 a month are so popular!
And for those that have kids or are just kids at heart (like me), renting/buying Disney property movies can add up too. Renting movies can cost up to $5 and buying can cost up to $20 each.
That’s why Disney+, the new streaming platform makes complete sense for Disney, Marvel, National Geographic, Star Wars, The Simpsons, and Disney Channel watchers.
Get access to new original shows, TV series (7,500+ episodes!), and movies (100 freshly released from the theaters and 400+ from the library).
And you can stream on up to 4 screens/devices simultaneously. No need to wrestle for the “remote.” Plus you can download shows to watch offline as much as you want. Check out Disney+ now for only $6.99/month and pull the plug on cable.
