Save With Cashback Apps W


BE SAVVY WITH YOUR ONLINE SHOPPING…


ith purse strings a little tighter right now for many,


some people are switching to cashback apps to claw back some much-needed cash. Cashback apps get a commission on transactions made via major retailers, and some sell shopping trends data to third parties to make profit.


Whichever app you use, check out their website first to identify how they use your data to be sure you’re happy with the terms. Don’t get lured into paying up front fees either.


The personal finance experts at money.co.uk have provided expert tips on some of the best cashback apps to download now:


1. Shoppix One of the


new


reward apps,


Shoppix


works by building up tokens that can be exchanged for gift vouchers or cash prizes.


Top Tip: Bonus tokens are awarded for scanning receipts on the same day you make your purchase, so snap them quickly to save more!


Above: Switch your buying to cashback apps to earn cash, vouchers and other benefits.


4. SwagBucks


The big difference with SwagBucks is that as well as cashback through purchases, SB points can be awarded from completing a huge variety of surveys, games and reviews.


Top Tip: Many of the surveys and video reviews are incredibly short, so you don’t have to dedicate hours in order to save, just check in a few times a day and spend a few minutes on the app each time.


5. Honey


Honey is completely different to other cashback apps, in fact it’s not even an app at all – it’s a free Chrome extension – that automatically searches for discount codes and coupons when you checkout at major retailers.


2. TopCashBack most popular most popular


To earn cashback, you simply have to make purchases from select retailers (brands include everything from Carphone Warehouse, to Plusnet, Sky, PrettyLittleThing, RAC and more), and you’ll receive your


reward via gift cards or PayPal.


Top Tip: Cash isn’t always better – the amount you earn using vouchers can be 20% more than the cash equivalent, so check both options before you pick your reward.


3. Quidco


Quidco is TopCashBack’s main rival and works in much


the same way – giving you cashback on purchases through major retailers. Quidco has a number of household names as partners including Amazon, Argos, Boots, Just Eat and more.


Top Tip: Check the estimated times on your cashback – some brands take longer than others when going through Quidco to process rewards, so make sure to factor this in when budgeting to avoid being caught short.


Top Tip: Aside from the discount code function, Honey also sends you rewards such as gift cards based on your purchase.
