With a crazy year behind us, it’s time to focus on pushing forward. Let’s get healthier, let’s learn something new (anything!), and let’s buckle down on finances until we can hang out with everyone again.
And speaking of finances, one major constant is rent. Every time rent money leaves your bank account, it hurts a bit. But at least we’ve utilized all that home time to make it worth it right? Even if at times, you might want to strangle your partner.
When you’re ready to try out some new-to-you ways to earn a little extra though, check out below for some fun and practical options to help you and your loved one pay some rent.
1. 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.
