I've started doing evades, and am curious about other ways to save and even earn money. Don't know much about swag bucks or shop kick etc., anyone use these? What are your favorites?
-
I use swagbucks! Tho after baby I don't have as much time to try to earn $. I do run the videos off the phone app at work to rack up some points.
I have shopkick and Ibotta on my phone but I always forget to use them!
-
Swagbucks for sure and instagc.
-
@AprilFool: Oo never heard of InstaGC... Is it pretty much the same as Swagbucks?
-
Amazon Mechanical Turk. (Although it's not a shopping rewards program like the others mentioned have been.)
-
@snowjewelz: Pretty similar. I mostly just watch videos on it. It has a few walls that Swagbucks doesn't and some videos pay more on Instagc than Swagbucks. It's not a huge earner for me but doesn't take much time.
-
I do a ton. I can wall you BC I don't wanna write a novel lol!! About to pass out for the night but will come back tm
-
@sorrycharlie: I would love to see you what you use!
-
@sorrycharlie: me too!
-
@sorrycharlie: me three!

@sorrycharlie: me too!

I have used shopkick and found it fun before I had a baby. You have to go to various stores and when you walk in the door and have the app open it checks you in and you get points. You can then scan various products for more points. Eventually you exchange your points for gift cards.
I have a friend who does it too and we would go out for an afternoon and make a game of hitting places and scanning stuff but now that we both have two little ones it's too much in and out of the car. I still try to do it at Target but it doesn't pay off as well.
-
@sorrycharlie: haha me too! write that novel!
-
oh geez. haha! okay I'll just post it here then - i'll try to make it easy to understand!
-
@sorrycharlie: Yay thanks!
-
@sorrycharlie: Good, I'm interested too! Lately I've just been doing swagbucks and using the Ibotta app but it is slow going.
-
@sorrycharlie: thanks in advance!
-
@coopsmama: I read about that one somewhere...is it time consuming?
-
@IRunForFun: Hmmm, doesn't have to be. They've had some changes recently though (they upped the fees for the requesters so many left) that have made it harder but not impossible. I made about $6 in less than a half hour last night while bored waiting for DH to get home. I've just been playing around with it for a few months (I think since June) and have made just over $600.
-
I just looked up swagbucks, and it got terrible reviews. Is it worth it?
-
@coopsmama: That's not bad!
-
@coopsmama: that's impressive! I also like that it's not linked to shopping. I'm totally a swagbucks/shopkickers target audience because it makes me want to shop "to save money"
-
@Pumpkin Pie: I've been using swagbucks for awhile and have gotten a lot of gift cards from there. I get points mainly from web searches and surveys and find that they accumulate fairly quickly. What did the reviews say?
-
@sweet_p: some of the reviews were: they werent getting their rewards, didnt give enough time to answer survey questions, dont get credited the swagbucks when shopping, failure to get notifications of codes, etc.
-
so I do shopkick (although the points were WAY better last year!!). I also do Ibotta, Snap & Checkout 51 (usually only stuff in Ibotta - but I ignore it all throughout the year to have it just accumulate instead of cashing out often.)
Snap and Checkout 51 you have to be at $20 to redeem so that'll be nice when I hit it.
also do Bing Rewards (you have just search random whatever - words, letters, I just do the alphabet!) and you can gain points. I get a $5 gift card every month or so. I do 2 accounts too.
Aaaand I do recyclebank.com. You just "read" articles and get points. I got free year subscriptions to People & Real Simple!
My lifetime savings in Ibotta alone is almost $50..
$97 in shopkick (just looked @ old gift cards)
$10 in each snap and checkout
Not even sure for bing! A lot!I have to thank photojane for alerting me to bing & recyclebank!!

I used to use swagbucks but never got my stinking points so I gave up.
