Maybe your self-control on shopping is about to crack.
Or maybe you’ve been “bad” so far, and have spent more in these past months than you would’ve liked. Whichever it is, the biggest shopping days of Black Friday (or should we say Black Friday All Month) is coming up.
And before you blow your money on those can’t-beat deals, let’s make sure you have a buffer of extra cash to actually spend. So we rounded up some fun apps and practical services that can help pad your wallet plus drop some money knowledge. And obviously, only spend what you can afford!
1. A Legit Way to Earn $750 This Week
You can get $750 direct deposited into your bank account and all you have to do is try out some deals. The catch? You can only do this once a year!
Seriously, anyone 18+ can participate in Flash Rewards, a rewards program that’s been around since 2016 and has rewarded $11 million to members over time.
So how do you get the money? Answer: You just have to follow the instructions carefully!
Flash Rewards work by showing you “deals” they think you would like. This includes mobile apps and games, subscriptions, financial services, etc. Each type of deal you choose has its own mini task to complete.
- Head over to Flash Rewards and fill out basic info (Email, Name, etc.)
- Take a quick Survey (it helps figure out the optional offers & required deals to recommend)
- Complete deals by shopping Flash Rewards’ great brand name partners.
- Important: Follow the instructions on completing the specific number of deals for each level and get to Level 5 to get the maximum reward! (there are plenty of deals to try – some are free trials or app downloads, others require a purchase!)
- Claim the reward and get it in about a week!
You won’t get your reward if you don’t complete the required amount of deals. Sure, it takes a little more effort but it’s legit. Get your $750!
