  • Ways to Earn Extra Cash and Rewards for the Holidays

    Christmas is around the corner!

    Have you started your holiday shopping yet? There’s still plenty of time!

    This year, if you are in need of extra cash and rewards to put towards Christmas presents, check out this list below of ways to earn rewards through apps, surveys, and more!

    Companies and brands need feedback from YOU and by completing surveys or even doing simple tasks such as shopping online, you can start working towards earning real cash and rewards.

    Every bit adds up!

    Browse through the list below and choose the ones that are right for you to start earning today.

    Ways to earn rewards:

    Shutterstock Contributor

    Love taking photos? Sell your photos online through Shutterstock! Sign up for an account, then upload and submit your photos to start earning.

    Money Saving Reward Apps:

    Fetch Rewards

    This is currently my favorite app to use. Scan your receipts to earn rewards points that you can use for gift cards and more.

    Ibotta

    Find great rebates, shop & redeem, get cash back! 100% of your Ibotta earnings can be transferred to PayPal or Venmo as soon as you’ve earned $20. If you’d rather convert your earnings into a gift card, you can do that, too.

    Checkout 51

    Pick the rebates you like, purchase them at any store, and upload a photo of your receipt through the mobile app or website. When your account reaches $20.00, they send you a check. Earn $5 cash back every time you refer a friend and they redeem their first offer.

    Swagbucks

    Earn 1,000s of free prizes, for doing the things you do every day – like PayPal and Amazon gift cards, toys, clothes, collectibles, games, electronics and more. My lifetime Swagbucks: 68,488 = lots of Amazon gift cards!

    Rakuten

    Join and get a $30 bonus when you spend $30.*
