Get paid to shop – a popular search for people because in reality, when we shop, we want to get paid… and guess what? It can happen !!! There are so many sites that offer rebates, cash back, gift cards to redeem when you shop. Here are a few sites that I love :

1. BeFrugal:



Earn up to 30% cash back from more than 4,000 stores by making your purchase through this site. You’ll see your earnings in your account within a few days. Once your balance reaches $25 or more, you can request a payment via PayPal, gift card or by check (U.S. only). BeFrugal processes payments on the 15th of each month. PayPal deposits are immediate while gift cards and checks take seven to 10 days to reach your mailbox.

What I love about BeFrugal is that when you make a purchase through their site and find another site that offers a higher percentage of cashback, they will apply the higher rate to your purchase PLUS an extra 25% to your account !

And you can also print off coupons for discounts at stores and restaurants. “BeFrugal has coupons available for over 40,000 stores, and saves shoppers an average of $27 per order,” explains the company’s founder, Jon Lal.



2. Swagbucks:

Swagbucks pays you in points called “SBs” when you make a purchase from your favorite store using its links. Generally speaking, you’ll earn 1 SB for every dollar you spend at participating stores. Other stores offer a flat number of SBs for any purchase.

What I like about Swagbucks:  download the Swagbutton, that way you will get an alert on your browser reminding you to get cash-back every time you’re on a retailer’s site.

And you will your SBs in your account within two to seven business days. Once you see them,  you can redeem them toward gift cards or coupons.  One SB is equal to $0.01, and 100 SBs is $1.00. You can choose to redeem your rewards at any time, as soon as you have enough SBs to earn the prize you want.

3. Ebates:

I love ebates, I used it for holiday shopping.

4. Ibotta:

This is why I love Ibotta :

Ibotta allows you to earn cash each time you shop. Here’s how:

Every week, couponsdowork.com posts a list of Ibotta offers. Also some products, for example, if ‘pop-tarts’ is on sale at your favorite store and there is a manufacture  coupon, and an Ibotta offer, all you have to do is upload your receipt and Ibotta will pay you what they offer, so basically you got paid to shop !

Also you can do :

Shop online through Ibotta links to certain stores: example: if you spend $150 at Macys.com, you’ll earn $10 in cash rebates (or 10%). You can also purchase certain products from Amazon.com and get receive up to a $20 rebate. Once your purchase is verified, (can take up to five days) the cash rebate is deposited into your Ibotta account.

Download the Ibotta app: if you went shopping, saw a movie, ate at a restaurant,  submit an in-store receipt to unlock cash rebates, after you downloaded the Ibotta app onto your phone..  The app verifies the purchase from the receipt’s barcode, which prompts a cash deposit into your account within 48 hours.

Link a loyalty card from participating stores: Connecting your points cards from grocery stores, gas stations and local markets will earn you additional cash-back rewards. You will see your rewards in your Ibotta account within two days.

Once your balance reaches $10 or more, you can transfer it to a PayPal or Venmo account. Or get gift cards.

Honestly, Ibotta is my favorite app. I use it more than any other, but there are many other programs as well ! Sign up for Ibotta

5. Checkout51:

Checkout51 works the same as Ibotta. Another great product! Every Thursday morning, Checkout 51 updates with a new list of offers. All you have to do is pick the ones you like, purchase them at any store, and upload a photo of your receipt through our mobile app or website. When your account reaches $20, They will send you a check. Sign up for Checkout51

6. MyPoints:

When you make an online purchase through MyPoints, you will earn a certain amount of points per dollar, depending on the store. MyPoints also includes an estimated cash-back value. For example, buying online from JcPenney earns you 5 points for every dollar, or 3.4%. The points shows up within 2 to 5 business days and it can take up to 30 days. You can redeem the points for a Visa prepaid card, a PayPal deposit, gift cards or  frequent flyer points. If you choose a physical gift card, it will usually arrive in your mailbox in about two weeks, If you choose an  “egift card” , it be in your inbox within 30 minutes.

You can also earn points by filling out surveys, printing and redeeming coupons, referring friends or family members or playing games.

7. FatWallet:

FatWallet is another good cashback site.  When you shop at 100s of online stores through FatWallet’s links, you’ll earn up to 25% cash back, and some retailers pay a flat amount.

View your FatWallet balance in your account at any time. When your account reaches the $10 minimum at the end of a quarter, you can request your payout as a check, bank transfer or PayPal deposit.
