Apps to earn gift cards?

[nat8199]

Any recs on apps to earn gift cards?

I am already doing Swagbucks and PerkTV. I use Bing and RecycleBank.

I know that I am getting greedy, but I would love to hear of any other ways to earn GCs. I don't have a lot of time to do surveys and what not, but running apps or watching videos in the background of my computer I can do!

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I made $80 in 5 months with Shopkick but the app is glitchy.

Whats a reputable site to do surveys? I'd like to do some while I have time

I also use receipt pal and receipt hog. You just take a picture of your receipt and you can get GC's or Paypal.

Just heard about checkout 51 app. Similar to the above post

I love Pinecone. The only problem is that they send you surveys that you qualify for so you are limited in what you can earn. I've gotten as many as 3 in 1 day but sometimes I don't get any for weeks. They pay 3.00 per survey or there is a catalog where you can get other things. I find it definitely worth it as I don't waste time trying to find surveys that I qualify for.

I use checkpoints. It is really easy to do, you "check in" to businesses around you they have listed, unlike shopkick, you don't actually have to be in the business for the check in's. Most of them are worth 2-3 points but throughout the day there are 10 pointers. You can also scan things at stores for points with it and watch videos like on perktv.

They have several gift cards to choose from for redemptions and even airline miles. It takes 335-340 points for $1.

Can check points be done on an ipod? My daughter wants to do it but she has basic phone but she was wondering if she can use an ipod??? She will be getting an iphone in Nov-Dec.
Thanks

I've been doing shoplicks and have earned about $150 in giftcards and close to getting enough to redeem $75 by nextweek. Its been my best app since Nov

I also do swagbucks and have earned about $225 since June

Check points Ive earned 150 in oneday

I also started receipt pal today and filled up 4-5 cards just waiting to see if I earn points but I did earn 150 for some sweepstake thing on registering

I;'ve been doing receipt hog for about a year and its taking forever!!!! I still need 205 coins to earn a $10 :/

I'm also doing bing search and have earned $15-$20 in swagbucks for my paypal

and walmart receipt.

All these are helping me for our family trip in Dec. to Oregon ...for food for a week. trying to save $600 for food. Then anything after that will go towards DD's 16th Bday party

I'm glad I found this thread. With my salary cut 50% and college tuition payments I'm trying to find as much rewards programs as possible to help out. I have one question though - can you use the same receipt for each App?

My mom has used Shopkicks for a long time and loves it. Now that I have a smartphone I should download that. She is retired so she can go to all of the stores in her area daily if she wants to earn points. I think she earns at least a $20 gift card every week. I also think she still gets Target employee discounts (she retired from Target) which helps too!

Shopkick is great. I've been using the program for less than a year and have earned over $100 in Target GC's that I turn in for Disney GC's. Family-wide we have earned over $275. That goes a long way with my cruising habit!

Its not really a way to earn GC but you can get money for Paypal. I use Gym Pact for 5 days a week and for 5 per miss day and I've earned $5 a month but its just a good motivation for me to work out. I also use Ibotta

The ten point check in's seem to show up for me at 2pm eastern. You need to wait at least 30 seconds between check in's.

That's about it. It's pretty simple and takes hardly any time to use.

For someone that asked about theo ipod, I have no idea if it can be used on those, I use it on my samsung s4 cell phone.

You sure can. Some apps have rebates on the same items. Other times I've bought items for multiple apps on one shopping trip.

so you can check in to stores without actually going in?

Yep, that's right. I am usually sitting in my house. Sometimes when I am out shopping, depending on the stores around me, new stores pop up. Then the 10 pointers pop up only for a short amount of time. Usually on the hour, but sometimes not at all.
