*Ibotta is a rebate app that offers cash back for various items purchased. There are also additional bonuses available. You can click on the Ibotta hyperlink, and sign up. Then you download the app, and you can view a gallery of product offers. You need to go through the offers you want and complete one or more of the tasks - generally worth between $.25 and $1.00. There are usually 3 tasks for each one, and doing all three maximizes your earnings. The tasks are things like sharing on your Facebook, watching a video, taking a single question pole, etc. They are very simple tasks. After you complete the tasks, they are added to your checklist. Then you go shopping at one of the approved retailers, scan your receipt, scan the barcode on the item, and wait for your cash to come rolling it. This is generally worth a few bucks, and it is usually useful items for your household. On occasion, there are bonus deals where you can earn more rebates for redeeming combinations of different product offers.
*Shopmium is a rebate app similar to Ibotta with less options. The major bonus of this program is that the money is deposited directly into your payapl account without having to wait to accumulate enough money to cash out.
