Points for Purchases

[braggin]

I have never tried one of those points-for-purchases plans because it seems like too much work and time involved. Maybe I am wrong about that though.

Ibotta has been good for a few hundred dollars, Trunow adds about ten dollars, Receipt hog adds about forty dollars to the bank account,  and Checkout 51 is good for about twenty dollars-all per year...I figure it is worth snapping the occasional picture of a receipt to make money on things that I am already purchasing. I am up to a fifty dollar gift certificate with Receiptpal and a thirty dollar gift card with Fetch. It took two parties (neither appearing to be crying at the time negating the need for name calling) to vote out rewards given by cigarette companies. Even though one may not have been smoking cigarettes to have earned prizes, the large majority of prize winners were smoking in order to qualify and, in essence, shortening their lives in order to earn low payouts and/or trinkets. The move against prizes earned most likely stemmed from the law suit against Camel which utilized an animated character believed to be appealing to children younger than age eighteen as a figure associated with being cool.

How do you make so much money with Ibotta?  I'm not sure if i'm just not using it correctly, don't understand it or what but I haven't made much at all with it.  There's never anything in there that I buy and I don't know how to use it for online purchases.  Maybe I need to find an ibotta tutorial or something.  I do the fetch rewards and receipt pal also but it's really slow going for me.  Most of my receipts are only worth 25 points.

I was with Ibotta for a while then when I got close to their ridiculously high cashout they disabled my account.

I'm using 2 points apps now but haven't cashed out on either of them yet.

I am not talking about a points app.  I don't think you are understanding.

I do really well with Ibotta as well.  It is not hard.  You have to buy the things that are on the app.  When you scan your Walmart receipt next week you will find things you bought the previous week.  Or I do anyway.

I used to do Ibotta and Receipt Pal, both receipt scanning apps that gave you points. They were pretty cool, but I just got tired of dealing with them for so little money. But now that I think about it, I may start working with those apps again. I guess I'm in the make-any-little-money-I can mode again, LOL! 

[sherryinutah]

I really like what Metsrock69 is doing.  I might have to experiement with some of those apps in the future.  Swagbucks now has a feature called In-Store promotions where you scan and upload receipts too.

   To all of you: Thank you for your ideas-Making some extra money.

I use two apps on my phone - Receipt Hog and Receipt Pal that I use to take picture of receipts and get points and money for...it takes a while to be able to cash out, but it's a nice little bonus

[jenniferhoder]

I do some of that stuff. I remember those days when Marlboro did it.. I got some cool stuff. Coke used to do it, but they have changed it; everything is sweepstakes which I never win anything. UGH

This is my problem with ibotta. They have tons of items but nothing I want to buy. Every once in a while I'll find something and it's 10 cents here and 25 cents there, but at that rate, I'll never cash out.

i use ibotta to get rebates back on grocery purchases (you can get rebates and cash back for other things but i havent tired it yet) i love ibotta i usually get about 200 a year in rebates and use it as a way to save for xmas. i do wonder what they do with all that info they get from me. i mean they get all the info on what i bought oh well

if you keep doing it you will get better and better offers. i usually can always find things i want and need. i needed extra virigin olive oil. i found a coupon and ibotta rebate for a really nice bottle. it just takes work

When you scan the Walmart receipt the next week they will have things you bought the previous week. But my thing is if I bought it last week I am not going to be purchasing it again the next week.

The closest I've gotten to what you described is through Swagbucks. I can get Swagbucks (points) for purchasing certain products and taking a picture of the receipt.  It's a cool way to pick up a few extra Swagbucks, especially if the item is something you would be purchasing anyway!
