Apps That Pay! Earn Cold Hard Cash and Gift Cards Just Because You Shop
If you shop, run errands and have a smart phone, this article has YOU written all over it! Make cash or earn gift cards for doing what you normally do!
APPS THAT ARE PAYING YOU CASH...
It almost seems like Deja Vu. There are a few Apps out there that pay you cash for using them when you are shopping. Oh yes, the Deja Vu was almost a year to the day I published and presented a piece with Andrew Stockey covering these apps exactly and how they work. Today there are a few more that I will review.
FIELD AGENT
Do you remember Field Agent? Andrew Stockey and I broke this one down piece by piece for you and showed you the App in action.
You download the App to your smart phone, put in your zip code and the app checks your local area to see where the "jobs" are in your area. The app pays you out for each "job" that you complete within a time frame, usually a a few hours.

"Jobs" you don't complete work against you. It is an excellent concept, but it is also hard if you are not good with a camera. You have to take pictures in retail stores and often associates will come up to you and ask you not to take pictures in their stores. I have had this happen. Macy's even has a sign on their doors—no photography!
The great thing about this App is you get to cash out immediately. You do not have to wait to hit $10.

The downside, to my knowledge, it is still only is for those with iPhones! The customer service department is OUTSTANDING with any questions.
WE REWARD
I also wrote about this one last year, and I still am not a huge fan of the App. I am writing about it again becaue it does pay cash out to you simply for completing a task. The could be as simple as buying something at a and taking a picture of yourself in front of Target with a Target bag.
You are tracked via GPS to your phone to make sure you are actually complying with the rules. The downside to this App is you have to actually do quite a few jobs to get the $10 payout. You also have to have $10 in your account to get the payout.
The upside: You may have a lot of these products in your house. As long as you do, you can earn points that will equal out to money. You also have to be able to photo yourself doing whatever the task is. If you are camera shy, you won't succeed with this App.
Consumers check in via this App and earn points and rewards for checking into restaurants that serve Pepsi. The music is all current music. I love filling my iPhone up with all the FREE music! This app is Geo-based and there is no downside to using it.
If you shop, you need this App. Simply stated, no matter where you are, check into the store, earn points and earn rewards. In addition, there are coupons that are available for those who use the App faithfully. If you shop somewhere and you don't have a coupon off the purchase, you might be able to find one here.
The App asks you to scan particular items in a store. In return, you earn points and points equal rewards. The more you use the App, the more you earn and it costs NOTHING!
Downside: With scanning products, employees get a little weird or suspicious. Yes, I've been there and done this.
Upside: Perks for using the App.
Check into places you shop (more than a million place are registered) and earn rewards. The program is simple: Deals are offered, you earn prizes, gift cards, airline miles and gadgets.
Each check-in gets check points. Each check-in is worth a different amount of points. Check into a place where you shop and then check (scan) the bar codes of products and you earn points. Bring your friends, link your accounts and earn more points. As you make points, redeem them for stuff like gift cards to restaurants, airlines, etc. The App gives you stuff back.
There is no real downside. You use the camera and use the phone as a scanner. Employees may ask you what you are doing, but you are earning for doing what you normally do—shopping.
CHECK IN TO WIN APP
The CHECK TO WIN App is great if you are a Sam's Club Shopper or shopper. Customer loyalty will pay off beyond anything you could imagine. You will shop and be rewarded. Install the App and here are your three simple steps.
1. Check into the store.
2. Scan and spin (all on the phone's App)
3. Get your rewards. Everyone WINS!
