5 Ways To Kickstart Your Summer in Style

Disclosure: We’re letting you know this post contains information about The Smart Wallet’s sister website, Flash Rewards. The Smart Wallet & Flash Rewards are owned by the same parent company and the author is a Smart Wallet employee

It’s time to trade in the weekly zoom calls with your pals, comfy sweats, and takeout in front of the television for tanning on your deck, mimosas at brunch, and a new wardrobe you can show off. Lockdown hasn’t been easy on the wallet, and some of your favorite summer pleasures may seem just out of reach, but with these offers from our partner, Flash Rewards, you can have it all!

PRO-TIPS: You absolutely and legitimately can get any of these gift cards but you 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.

  1. Pick your favorite gift card offer below and fill out basic info (Email, Name, etc.)
  2. Take a quick Survey (it helps them figure out what offers & deals to recommend you)
  3. See if any Offers interest you (optional)
  4. Important: Complete 1 Silver, 1 Gold, and 8 Platinum deals to qualify/claim the reward!

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!

$750 SHEIN Gift Card

It’s time for that hot girl summer. And to do that, you need a killer outfit. Or three. Or five.

If you pick this offer, you can get a $750 SHEIN gift card to use on the popular, trendy, and affordable clothing retailer. Swimwear? Check. Dresses? Check. Shoes and plenty of accessories? Check and check. Even home decor too when you want to brighten up the place!

$500 IKEA Gift Card

Get ready for BBQ season early, and turn your backyard into an oasis with $500 at IKEA. There are no excuses to not make this summer great when you can get everything you need without dipping into your pocket. Whether you’re starting from scratch or revamping your space, IKEA has what you need. From BBQs and outdoor table sets to gazebos and LED string lights, your backyard will be the talk of the town!

Don’t forget to stop by the cookware section to deck out your kitchen for when the weather may not be on your side. You might even have some extra cash left to get that new bed frame you’ve been thinking about.

$750 Walmart Gift Card

You can’t have a memorable summer without great food, and that’s why Flash Rewards is offering you a chance to earn $750 to spend at Walmart to bring you your first summer feast.

Of course, Walmart also has burgers, hotdogs, and buns, but what makes them the best one-stop shop for groceries is their array of fresh fruit and vegetables. We want to make sure you have nothing, but the best for your burger toppings, corn on the cob, and fruit salads. Nothing says summer like some fresh watermelon in the sun!

$75 Dollar Tree Gift Card

It’s important to get the most out of your money, which is why Flash Rewards has an offer for $75 at Dollar Tree. Save money and stock up on your everyday items like stationery, groceries, and cleaning supplies, but don’t forget that Dollar Tree is a one-stop shop for holiday décor and seasonal fun.

Grab a super soaker and some beach toys to bring out your inner child or for someone in your family. Make July 4th fun from home and purchase some holiday décor and a few greeting cards for those you can’t spend the holiday with this year.

$750 PayPal Cash

I think we saved the best for last, but yes Flash Rewards has an offer where you can earn $750 to your PayPal account! You might already have some ideas about how you could put this money to use because who doesn’t have a wish list of items they’ve been waiting for the right influx of cash to purchase? In case you don’t, PayPal is great because like the other gift cards, you can spend it on your next few weeks of groceries and new furniture, but also on a new wardrobe from your favorite stores and whatever else your heart desires.

Picture this: A weekend road trip getaway with your favorite, The Weeknd album playing on your Spotify Premium subscription that has now been paid for the remainder of the year. You’re wearing your new fashionable SHEIN outfit, and you packed some light fiction and biographies that you bought from Amazon to read beachside while the new RayBans you purchased finally get to see the light of day. You’re looking forward to Sunday because you have a massage booked, and you couldn’t be happier that Flash Rewards was able to make this all possible.

If weekend getaways aren’t your thing, PayPal can be a lifesaver for everyday relaxation and the highly anticipated upcoming patio season. Grab a French toast for breakfast and a couple of pints at your favorite brewery’s patio. To ensure you get home safely, make sure to save a portion of your gift card for an Uber ride home.

There’s nothing like good food, good company, and sunshine, and it’s something we all need a little bit more of after the past year!
