Got Plans for Summer? These Apps Will Help Pay For Them
The weather is finally warm again and it’s time to break out the t-shirts and enjoy the sun. The best part is you can earn cash by playing games on your phone to pay for fun summer activities!
Now is the perfect time to start earning some extra summer money, and the good news is, we’ve got the coolest way to do so!
Time Wallet- Get Paid to Play Games
Seriously! If you’re already playing games on your iPhone/iPad, this one is a no-brainer for you.
Time Wallet pays you via PayPal to try out different games and apps recommended for you, and once you submit a screenshot proving you’ve played it for a certain amount of time, you get paid!
You can payout quickly (even if you’re under a $1) whereas other apps give a minimum payout threshold. No more waiting around for your hard earned reward.
There are a variety of games for different interests and it’s free to download so give it a try!
Scan Receipts to Get Cash Back
Make shopping even more fun by getting cash back on the things you already need.
Ibotta is a super easy-to-use cash back app with 100+ retailers, both in-store and online. Anywhere you do shopping, most likely you’ll find a cash back opportunity!
So before you head to the store, check the app for items already on your shopping list. Ice Cream? Hit that + sign in the app. 6-Pack of Beer? Tap that + sign again.
Go shop.
At home, take a photo of your receipt and scan the barcodes of items.
Now you got yourself some cash back!
Here are some cash-back opportunities we’ve seen:
- 50 cents back for any item
- 25 cents back on any bananas
- 25 cents back on any bread
- $1 back on any milk
- $3 back on a 6-pack of Shock Top beer
Ibotta is 100% free to download and you’ll get a $10 sign-up bonus after uploading your first receipt. On average, Ibotta users save $20 a month on groceries so start saving now for summer:
Earn Gift Cards At Your Favorite Stores
Drop is an easy-to-use app that lets you earn gift cards on stuff you already buy from your favorite brands. It’s the ultimate & modern loyalty card without the card.
Self-proclaimed Target-addict? Get points for your purchases there.
Do you eat Cookie Butter by the spoonful from Trader Joe’s? You get points for all your purchases there too.
You need that Triple, Venti, Soy, No Foam Latte from Starbucks? Yep, you guessed it. You get points for that too! Whaaaat?
Connor from The Bill Wizard team already redeemed his $20 Starbucks card after only 3 weeks! We’re really loving Drop since you can earn gift cards on popular brands you already buy from. Easily set it up and watch the points drop in.
Spring Purchases? Watch Price Change Refunds Roll In for Summer
I bought a giant donut pool float on Amazon and 3 weeks later it went on sale. Damn!
Usually, we attempt to find a good price on an item before we buy, but once we purchase, it’s a done deal. Because of this, we’re missing out on a lot of price change refunds.
Amazon alone changes their item prices up to 8 times a day and no one has time to keep track of that unless… you’re Earny.
Earny is an app that automatically gets money back when the price changes on your purchases.
So about that donut pool float that went on sale? Earny is currently claiming $6.13 back on my behalf!
And I didn’t have to do anything except set up the account.
Earny securely plugs into your email inbox and credit card so that it can be effective in getting the money back for you. It’ll scan your inbox for purchase receipts and when there’s a price change refund available, it’ll automatically credit the money back to the credit card you used to purchase.
Obviously, Earny won’t be able to do anything for you if you pay in cash but if you regularly purchase online with a credit card, this app is amazing to get those price change refunds back without having you to do anything.
