Money-back apps are just perfect for our dear members who prefer their purchases to be a little more rewarding. They are easy to use and offer you a chance to earn some additional dollars effortlessly.

The concept of these apps is quite simple; they reward you for your purchases, either by giving you cash back, points, or even gift cards. So imagine buying your everyday groceries and receiving a little thank you in the form of some money returned every time you shop. Exciting, right?

With ShopBack, every online purchase can reward you with up to 30% cashback. All you need to do is shop through the ShopBack app, or use its browser extension if you're shopping on your home computer.

As for Receipt Jar, it’s as simple as it sounds. Every time you make a purchase, all you need to do is snap a photo of your receipt and upload it to the app. The app then reimburses a percentage of your total spending.

So here’s a pro tip–keep track of your purchases and make it a routine to upload your receipts promptly. Be consistent, and you’ll see a pretty payoff!

While money-back apps might not make you rich overnight, they can certainly supplement your income and in time, let you enjoy the finer things in life a little more. The key lies in consistency and persistence. So, if you’re up for it, get on the money-back bandwagon and let your shopping pay you back!

I don’t mind doing surveys and used to do some regularly a few years ago BUT at that time they used to ask if you wanted to hear from or were interested in learning more about certain charities or businesses obviously associated with them. No matter how many times I clicked “no” I was inundated for the next few weeks with calls from those charities and businesses claiming I’d said I was interested in learning more or donating. Eventually I stopped doing surveys. If it could be guaranteed I wouldn’t receive these calls again then I agree I would do certain surveys again. Maybe things have changed over the last few years but not sure if I want to test the theory.
Agree & had similar neg experience/harassing emails, calls etc even tho i didn't even finish the survey either :(

I have been doing surveys for some years now & have cut back to 2 sites. The major site allows me to work towards a gift card for Bunnings or Target etc. which can be downloaded to my computer or phone. These surveys aren't regular which suits me.

Some years ago l did surveys for a company who actually dropped me when l reached a bonus of $50. All efforts to get this cash payment were fruitless. I think this was an American company.

You do need to be wary of who you do surveys for.
