Can we just skip ahead to next year? With how 2020 is going, that cryogenic sleep you see in sci-fi movies looks pretty enticing. Just leave the scientists to continue working on the vaccine.
Since that’s not going to happen, and life goes on whether we’re prepared or not, let’s occupy our time with things that can help both productively and for entertainment value.
Save and make money with these apps that can help. Whether you have a full-time job or not, every little bit helps. Download them all, and your phone bill (or other bills) just might start paying itself!
And with consistent use, some of these positive habits can carry into the next year!
1. Get Up to $55 Per Win Popping Bubbles
Make consistent extra money playing Bubble Cash, where you match 3 bubbles of the same color until you clear the board. It’s popular, too, since the game is frequently ranked within the Top 10 in the App Store with a 4.6/5 star rating with over 74K+ reviews!
Win free cash when you collect enough gems to enter practice tournaments, and then win MORE when you enter the higher stakes tournaments (there’s a small entry fee for the bigger tournaments).
“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 now, and then switch to cash games to increase your winnings whenever you want. Obviously, this won’t make you rich, but 100% worth it compared to other games that don’t pay.
2. 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!
3. Merge Matching Blocks to Win Cash Prizes
When you want simple gameplay but with strategy baked in, check out Tap n Merge Tournament, where you literally tap and merge number blocks to earn points.
Merge at least 3 of the same numbers to create a higher number block, and see how high of a number you can get within the 2 minute time frame. Our highest (so far) is 7! Combos and speed will also boost your overall score.
Play for free, and when you’re ready, switch over to cash games to earn faster. Cash game winners can win up to hundreds of dollars!
The relaxing background music, the gameplay, and the strategy involved will keep you entertained for a while.
Cash tournaments not available in AZ, AR, CT, DE, LA, MT, SC, SD, and TN.
4. Free Rewards Program Gives Out 7,000 Gift Cards Daily
