If you want to earn additional income in your free time, your phone could be a great help. There are some applications designed to help you get some extra money or benefits.
Here are the 6 apps that let you earn money in free time:
Ibotta
With this app, which is available for free download on iOS and Android, instead of getting a discount on your purchases, you get refunds in cash. There are three ways to earn cashback through Ibotta – by sending purchase receipt, linking a loyalty card of their preferred partner and mobile in-app purchases. The cashbacks are deposited in the Ibotta account. At present, receipts from 283 stores are supported. Few prominent names include – Walgreens, Walmart, CVS Pharmacy and others.
Check the application’s offers (for example, a $1 refund on a pizza brand), and then scan your receipt or link the application to your store’s loyalty cards so your withdrawals are automatic. It’s that simple!
Earnings can then be transferred to the user’s PayPal or Venmo account once $20 threshold is reached. Another exciting option, if someone doesn’t want to transfer money is converting the earnings into a gift card.
UserTesting
With this app you can get money by offering feedback on various websites or mobile applications. Thousands of companies across the globe, have lack of manpower to test their websites/mobile apps before launching their products online. UserTesting gets testing done by real users and in return offers money to these testers. Companies on the other hand get valuable feedback on their products and then make changes to their website/apps.
The payment is $10 per test, and requires users to visit their website, complete simple tests, and then record your testing experience via audio or video and finally get paid $10. The payment is done through PayPal.
Swagbucks
Is considered to be the world’s largest free rewards community. If you do not mind searching the web, taking part in surveys or watching videos, you can earn some “Swagbucks”, which you can then redeem for gift cards at places like Amazon, Starbucks and Home Depot.
The opinions from real users help companies to create best products.
How does it work? Simply register with your email and create a password to access safely. Surveys can be taken on any device – mobile, laptop, PC or tablet. Their app is available for free on iOS and Android.
Payment varies according to the survey and users can earn 40 to 200 Swagbucks on doing one survey. 100 SB = $1.
Shopkick
This application rewards you with gift cards for shopping at retail stores that you probably visit anyway. Reward points are called as Kicks which are redeemable for free gift cards.
There are eight easy ways to earn rewards/kicks – by walking in to the store, scanning barcodes of select products, make payment using the linked credit card, submit receipt, visiting websites of their partner sites through shopkick, check offers online, purchase by visiting online from Shopkick to their partner sites, watch in-app videos
You must link your credit card to the app (freely available for iOS and Andorid ) and each time you buy at these stores, you will earn points or “kicks”, which you can exchange for gift cards in the same stores.
ShopTracker
This app available for iOS and Android allows you to get an additional $36 per year while shopping on Amazon. And what do you have to do? Simply share with them your Amazon shopping experience. They will pay you for every month you share! However this is only available to US residents.
