Shopkick - An app that lets you earn money while shopping, without buying anything!

Shopkick is one of my favorite apps, and I've been using it for many years, so it's tried and true. I've earned 11 gift cards so far!

• The app is available to download for free, and there is no fee to use it.

• You earn "kicks" for doing tasks like walking into a store, scanning a product barcode, or making purchases.

• You use your kicks to buy gift cards! There are tons of gift card options including Walmart, Amazon, Target, Starbucks, Kohl's, etc.

First things first, you need to download the app. You can use my link or enter code CARD435672 to earn a bonus 250 kicks if you complete a walk-in or scan in your first 7 days!

You can also invite your friends to use shopkick, and earn bonus points when they use your referral! There are multiple sharing options available.

Now you can start earning! There are plenty of participating stores that you can earn kicks at, ranging from grocery stores to pharmacies to clothing retailers. Some examples are Rite Aid, Hannaford, Walmart, Best Buy, Marshall's, Yankee Candle, and Kohl's.

Depending on the store, there are options to earn kicks simply by walking in (you have to have your Bluetooth enabled so the sensor can tell you've walked in,) scanning certain item barcodes listed in the app, and by purchasing specific items and uploading a photo of your receipt, or linking your credit card to your account. You can also earn kicks by shopping online! Typically this is a certain number of kicks per every $1 spent scenario.

One other way to earn some extra kicks is to watch their informational videos, available in the Discover section of the app.

Now that you've earned your kicks, you get to redeem them for a gift card! There are plenty or stores to choose from, including Amazon, Target, Ulta, Kohl's and Starbucks. And you can choose from different amounts, starting at $2 and going up to $50!

You can choose a goal and that way it's easy to track your progress, but you can change it at any time!

That's about all you need to know! 
Thank you for reading, Happy Shopkicking, and enjoy your free gift cards!
