Whenever I shop I try my best to use money making phone apps to get the most cash back.
From groceries, online shopping, and even walking, I’m sure a lot of us look for way son how to make extra side cash.
Now, I know there are apps that offer points for taking surveys; however, they are typically ones I like to avoid because qualifying for surveys is sometimes a hit or miss, and I value my time. So those apps that are SOLELY survey-based won’t be listed here unless it is worthy enough.
But the ones I’m sharing are all legitimate apps to make money that I personally use.
Make sure to open this page on your phone for the apps and click on each app name in the title so you can take advantage of any promo codes, as some offer a bonus when downloading directly through the links.
(Also, if prompted, you may need allow tracking for the bonus to work)
*Also, not responsible if you download the app/extensions incorrectly and end up not receiving the signup bonus points.
Money Making Phone Apps
Shopping and Groceries
Most apps here require an actual physical receipt to be scanned. However, some do accept digital receipts.
I like to set aside time once a week to scan all my grocery and shopping receipts into each app. Just keep in mind that most apps only allow you to submit receipts within about two weeks of the purchase date—after that, they usually won’t accept them.
Fetch
Turn basically anything you do into gift cards with Fetch. Earn at stores, restaurants and shopping online. Even playing free games. Download Fetch with my link or use code G8JQJ to get a bonus when you submit your first receipt. I think it’s one of the best cash back apps.
