iPhone Apps That Pay You Back

Iphone Apps That Give You Something Back

Believe it or not that cool looking iPhone in your hand could be working for you. With the right apps and a little bit of time on your part, your iPhone could be giving you cash back, gift cards, free music, airline miles, hotel points, and much more!

I've listed here all the apps that I have used to get free stuff here. I will be adding new ones as soon as often as possible.

*Some of the apps also work on Android phones. Spread the love!

Shopkick

One of my favorite apps on my iPhone, Shopkick is like foursquare that just happens to pay you for checking in.

But it doesn't stop there. You get "kicks" for checking in (or walking in), scanning items in store, and for buying things in certain establishments. You then turn those kicks in gift cards from some of the most popular stores out there. The app also offers coupons and deals exclusively to those using the app. I have been lucky enough to use this app to get over $100 in gift cards to Best Buy!

Use code "Hamster105" for bonus credits! Get Shopkick Here

CheckPoints

Checkpoints is very similar to Shopkick in that you can get points for checking into stores and scanning items then turn those points into gift cards. It also offers coupons and discounts you can use by scanning or showing iPhone. The app also allows you to get points in defferent ways also,

You can also get points for scanning stuff at your home, watching videos and shopping online. OPne other different aspect is the collecting coins portion of the app. Collect coins and play games for points!

So far I have turned points into $75 worth of Amazon gift codes!

Use the code "kidgrifter" and get 300 points! Checkpoints

WeReward

werewardWeReward is another check in app. The difference is that WeReward pays you cash (I've been paid around $50) and to make decent money the app requires you to take a pic of where you are. You can also get paid for completing tasks.

The app pays you through pay pal some make sure you have an account.

Gigwalk

You search for paid "gigs" around where you live and then complete whatever the gig says to do (usually taking pictures and answering questions). Then submit your work and wait to get paid! The more you do, the more gigs you can get and the higher the gigs pay. It's fun and different!

Pays cash through Pay Pal
