SAVING money while shopping or gaming?

Do Cash Back and Gift Card apps REALLY mean that?

Or gaming. Your call.

One app here pays out a total of over 1.6 million monthly.

TOP TIP: Sign up for multiple apps! (More below.)

First, let’s shop our top choices:

Tips & Tricks:

1. Double or Even Triple Up on Apps

A lot of these apps can be used in tandem – and should be.

For instance, use a Chrome extension to find promo codes.

At the same time, use a cash back app.

Why? Many cash back apps offer different amounts at different retailers.

So it’s important to check out several and optimize your cash back.

2. Sign-Up on Retailers’ Sites Using Multiple Emails

Lot of retailers dole out promo codes to first-time shoppers.

And it’s usually by way of having them sign up for their newsletter.

Take advantage of that code – to use on stuff that never goes on sale.

And take advantage of it by signing up via multiple emails.

3. Shop Online, Don’t Checkout

This doesn’t work at every retailer, but it does at some.

Add what you want to purchase to your cart.

But don’t buy.

Many times, you’ll find an email with a promo code in your email.

DICK’S Sporting Goods, Bed Bath & Beyond, Bass Pro Shops, Office Max and Williams Sonoma among others are rumored to do this.

4. Make It a Habit to Compare Prices

Ever bought something one day and watched the price drop the next?

Arrgh!

If you’re waiting for the price to drop, set a Google Alert for your ideal price.

Then just wait for Google to email you.

5. Sign-Up for Store Loyalty Programs

Look for loyalty programs that are free and sign up.

It takes forever to gain points – but gain them anyway!
