UPDATE: When you sign up through any of my links, you’ll get $5.00!

I can’t wait to introduce you guys to my new favorite way to earn money when I shop. It’s a brand new app called ibotta and I LOVE it. Currently, it’s available for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad users, but if you are an Android user, you’re not going to be left our for long! Ibotta is releasing the Android version soon and you can sign up HERE to be notified when they do.

ibotta makes it easy for you to earn money by buying products that you were already going to buy anyway. It’s a fun way to combine shopping, trivia games, and cash! ibotta gives you the opportunity to earn real money for buying products that most likely you were going to buy anyway. These are on name brand products like Coke, Simply Orange, Cottonelel, Tide, and more! As of now, it works in Walmart, Walgreens, and Target, but there are plans to add many more stores to the list.

Here’s what you need to do:

Start by downloading the ibotta app HERE.

Once you’ve registered, all you have to do is choose the offers that you are interested in buying. Just touch the offer to select it and the net screen will give you ways to earn more cash. The more you choose, the more money you’ll get back. And because these are not coupons, but third-party cash rebates, you can combine this with your coupons to save even more!

Next, you go shopping, just as you would any other time. Once you’ve purchased the items on your list in ibotta, upload a picture of your receipt through ibotta’s integrated camera feature. It will then submit to ibotta’s staff and when they verify your purchase, you’ll be credited for your purchase! Your credit can be cashed in for PayPal credit or donated to a school of your choice. There is a very low $5 minimum for cash-out, so you’ll be able to get paid in no time.

Take advantage of this new opportunity and sign up HERE to earn a little mad money for the holidays!
