3 Must Have Apps For Beginner Couponers!

1.)    Ibotta- Ibotta is a cash back rewards app and is my most used cashback app. Before you start your shopping, you select cash back offers in the app for the items that you want to purchase. Then you go shopping at your favorite grocery stores or retailers (both in-store or online). After, you upload a receipt of the offers you previously selected and Wa-la cashback. You can have the cashback sent to your Bank, Paypal, or even receive an instant gift card from one of your favorite retailers. I’ve used this app all throughout college and I absolutely love it. They constantly have offers for free items in the app.

2.)    Fetch – Another one of my favorites! This app is similar to Ibotta but even more simple. With Fetch all you have to do is scan ANY receipt and you’ll receive points back. With these points you can get gift cards from many different retailers. Points add up fast, and it takes 5 seconds to scan a receipt. This one is a no brainer to me if you’re trying to make extra cash back here and there.

3.)    ShopKick – This is a fun money-making app. I’ve only had it for a few months and have made over $50 in gift cards. With Shopkick you use your smartphone and/or tablet to scan products while you’re shopping to earn points for rewards. You can also earn points by uploading receipts.

What I like to do is open the app before I start my shopping, gaze through the products that are listed to be scanned and scan them while I shop. Almost every time I go to     Wal-Mart I can earn a $5 gift card within this app alone!

Use my Referral Code and you’ll receive 250 Kicks (Points) if you earn 10 kicks in your first 7 days!
