How to Get Free Gift Cards?

Take Online Surveys

---

What do we do when we want to share our opinion about a particular product or service we have received? We share it with our friends, but unfortunately, we don’t get paid for it.

Why is this relevant?

Because, you can get paid for sharing your insights if you provide information to interested parties. Your insights can be delivered in the form of a survey that consists of 5-100 questions about a particular product, service, or experience. For example:

• Where do you shop? How often?
• What is your household income?
• What are your health habits?
• How often do you exercise?

Rewards are most often between $0.50 and $2 per survey. But, if you match the company’s target market, they are often willing to pay you as high as $50 per survey.

Here are the top 4 platforms hired by companies to collect feedback from consumers.

Survey Junkie

---

Survey Junkie is the biggest survey website with over 10 million users. They accept members from the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Most surveys on the platform pay between $0.50 to $3 and take around 15 minutes to complete. However, you may also occasionally encounter longer and more comprehensive surveys. These surveys can take up to an hour to complete but can pay up to $10.

Once you reach $5, you can cash out via PayPal or get a free gift card.

Swagbucks

---

Swagbucks has plenty of surveys to choose from. The reward comes in their local currency called Swagbucks points (SB).

Once you acquire 100 SB you can can trade them for a $1 Amazon gift card.

Make sure your answers are genuine and consistent, otherwise you will not qualify for many surveys.

Swagbucks not only pays for surveys. Here are another 18 ways to earn money with Swagbucks.

Valued Opinions

---

Valued Opinions offers free gift cards for participating in online surveys, diary studies, or product testing opportunities.

Get Cash Back

---

The next way to get free gift cards is by getting cashback.

As you may already know, cashback is the percentage you get for every dollar spent at stores.

“Cashback” was invented by credit card companies, but these days most shops offer some type of opportunity to earn cashback when you shop online.

And the best thing about this approach is that you don’t need to subscribe to every brand’s loyalty card. I have built up a list for you of the top rewarding loyalty programs that off in-store cashback.

To get the most from cashback programs, make sure you check all 3 of the websites listed below to determine which one offers the best cashback rate for your chosen store.

MyPoints

The value of MyPoints varies depending on what you’re looking to claim as your reward. Typically, most surveys on MyPoints give you between 40 to 340 points and take between 5 and 30 minutes. The cash value of these points is between $0.27 and $2.13, and most users receive up to 60 surveys per month.

Rent Your Stuff

---

Instead of buying stuff and using it once, it’s often preferred to rent household items they rarely use.

Take a second and think of how much stuff you have in your house, yard, and garage? Perhaps your family members have tools, bikes, or clothes which are not being used, and instead just collecting dust in storage?

I bet, there are more unused items around your home than you’d expect. The good news is, you can rent those things out!

Here are some platforms that will help you can do just that:

Rent Your Ride

---

To use Neighbor, you simply need to make an account, post a listing of your space, and connect a bank account. Neighbor charges a 4.9% service fee when someone reserves your space.

Once you find someone who wants to use your space, you can then sit back and earn some passive income.

All payments are done directly through the app, so you don’t have to worry about dealing with cash, damage deposit, or verifying the other user.

Rent Your Stuff

---

Loanables platform has offers for pretty much everything. Electronics, tools, boats, and tents just to name a few.

Loanables claims that you should rent anything you use less than 3 times per year.

So, list everything you don’t use and buy stuff only if you know you will use it more than 3 times per year or if you can rent it and earn some gift cards.

Claim Your Sign-up Bonus

---

Companies compete for our money.

Whether the goal is to lure in a new customer or “steal” one from a competitor, brands try to seduce us with sign-up initiatives.

It sounds a little too good to be legitimate. Does it even make sense for companies to give you free cash?

The answer is: absolutely! During the time a customer stays loyal to a company, they are likely to spend a considerable amount of money. Let’s say your internet bill costs $50 a month and the company gives you $50 as an incentive to join them.

To illustrate this, point I will use simplified calculation:

In the first year, you get $50, they get $600.

It’s a no brainer! So, where can you get sign-up or welcome bonuses?

Credit Card

---

The Capital One Quicksilver credit card offers a $150 welcome bonus once you spend $500 on your new card, in the first 3 months.

There is no annual fee, and you will earn 1.5% unlimited cashback rewards on most purchases.

Pretty awesome, right?

But, make sure you pay your credit card bill in full each month to avoid any interest charges. You don’t want to get a bonus and then spend it on covering unnecessary fees.

Energy Provider

---

Verde Energy is green energy and natural gas provider in the USA.

Sign up with their yearly plan, and you will get $100 worth of prepaid cards delivered to your mailbox. $50 after the first month and $50 after 6 months.

It’s worth mentioning that Verde energy doesn’t have any cancelation fees, so you can even cancel the service after you received your first rebate.

And, don’t forget to check their energy rates in your post-code to see if it’s even worth switching your energy provider for the $100 rebate.

Reward Program

---

Cash4offers is a reward program that pays you for things you do online every day, such as reading emails, listening to music, reading books, and much more.

The offers in the program come from companies who want to engage with new customers. The rewards are small, but if you’re doing these activities anyway, why not get paid for it?

Besides…you get $5 for simply signing up, and there is no need to commit to any contract.

Once you reach your minimum payout of $35, you will be able to cash out via PayPal or choose an Amazon gift card.

Seated

---

Seated is an app that provides you with rewards, just for dining out. With the app, you can make reservations at local restaurants using the “Explore” function. This allows you to filter based on seating availability, price, and location.

As soon as you make a reservation, you are told how much you need to spend on your meal and what your cash reward will be.

They offer a range of different investment options so their members can make the most of their income. What’s unique about Qapital is that it offers you personalized financial coaching to help you reach your savings goals.

When you sign up for an account with Qapital, you can earn a $25 bonus so you get your savings off to a good start. The company frequently runs promotions with referral bonuses up to $100 each for inviting your friends to join.

Get Refund when Price Drop

---

This one is interesting!

Did you know that if you’ve purchased an item that goes on sale after you bought it, you can get the difference in price refunded?

Retailers do not want you to know, but it’s the truth.

Of course, monitoring every purchase price for months on end is a huge hassle, but lucky for us, there are apps that do it automatically.

Sounds good, doesn’t it? Here are some of our favorite price tracker apps.

Paribus

---

Paribus is a 100% free app without any commissions, monthly subscriptions, or any other hidden fees.

Sign up with the same email you use to make purchases.

Paribus monitors your email for any sales receipts, and once a price drop is found, they send a claim to the retailer and credit you with the refund.

Nice, but it gets better!

They even have a feature that monitors your Amazon Prime deliveries. If the package is late, Paribus automatically files the claim, and you will get a free month of Prime or a $10 gift card from Amazon.

Earny

---

The Earny refund app is similar to Paribus (except with no Amazon monitoring), but it costs $4.99 per month or $39.96 for an annual subscription.

Is it worth it?

Yes, if you travel a lot. They have a unique feature that tracks your hotel reservations.

After you book your hotel stay, Earny will monitor any price drops and, if found, you will be notified of how to rebook at a lower rate.

A helpful tip is to try booking hotels which include free cancellations.

Sift

---

Sift was chosen as one of the best Google Play apps of 2018.

Sift is similar to the other 2 apps in this category, but it has a few extra “hidden benefits.”

• Sift monitors the warranties on your purchases.
• It automatically tracks your credit card benefits.
• If you have several credit cards, Sift advises you on which to use to maximize your cashback benefits.

The app, however, is not free. They take a 25% service fee for any refund you receive.

It seems like a fair share for the hard work they do.

Research the Market

---

Website owners often wonder what visitors think of their digital presence.

Companies often want to test whether or not a new product will fit their target market.

Bosses want to find out if their employees treat customers right.

Research companies are desperate for information about the behaviors of consumers online. There are apps out there which deliver exactly that type of data to researchers who are willing to compensate you for your participation in their studies.

Just install one of the apps listed here to get started, and the program will track every action you take on your mobile device or desktop computer.

Sound scary?

There is nothing to worry about because All data is collected anonymously, meaning your information cannot be tracked back to you as an individual. Each app requires around 3 MB of your mobile or Wi-Fi based data usage per month, and it simply runs in the background of your device.

Let’s find out what kind of gift cards you can get through these apps.

*Tip: Make sure to double check each company’s privacy policy for details on exactly how your behavior will be tracked and what they will do with that data.

Smart Panel

---

“US consumers have an average of 89 apps installed on their smartphones, but they only use 8 per day.”

These are the type of facts Smart Panel can learn when you install their app on your device.

At this point, users can only join Smart Panel if they qualify for short survey. If you do qualify, you will earn $5 just for qualifying, plus $10 for the first week, and then $5 each month per device thereafter, with the addition of some loyalty bonuses.

That’s not bad at all, is it?

In total, you can make up to $110 per year with the app and withdraw funds to PayPal or choose to collect an Amazon gift card.

Panel App

---

Install the Panel App, leave your mobile data on wherever you go, and enable location sharing.

For these 3 steps alone, Panel App will give you $5 per month.

Users will also occasionally receive invitations to join surveys, depending on your location. Occasional offers to join sweepstakes and lottery drawings for the opportunity to win $10,000, make your earning potential with this app especially attractive.

Gift cards can be redeemed through Amazon, VISA, or Mastercard. Request your earnings via your Panel App account, and, within 1-2 weeks, you’ll receive a gift card code in your email inbox.

Nielsen Mobile App

---

Nielsen Mobile is probably the oldest company in the market research space, with over 90 years of experience. They aim to record your behavioral patterns on the internet, apps, and multimedia applications such as video and music players.

This data allows Nielsen to help their clients identify which demographics could signal potential customers for a variety of products and services.

Before you start earning gift cards with the Nielsen Mobile app, you will need to provide your contact details and register your devices through a questionnaire.

If you actively use each device you have, you will be rewarded with monthly and quarterly initiatives worth up to $60 per year.

Do easy Tasks Online

---

I can already hear you asking me, “what is an easy task online?”

Well, it’s a specific task which you can complete in a short period of time or a micro-job which does not require any particular skillset.

You won’t make millions with this method, but a few free gift cards each month is can easily take some of the pressure off your main source of income.

Try your hand at simple online tasks with these 3 ideas :

Perform Micro-Jobs

---

Take advantage of Clickworker. They provide digital tasks for anyone who enjoys writing, researching, translating, or data processing.

Here is an example of a task you might find through Clickworker:

• “Find 100 top personal finance blogs online – $5”

In essence, the tasks are similar to virtual assistant jobs.

Clickworker claims that you can earn around $9 per hour, but from comments around the web, $2 per hour is a more realistic number.

If you have spare time and nothing better to do, it’s worth giving these micro-tasks a shit to start earning gift cards with Clickworker.

Listen to Music

---

What’s the catch? There’s no catch. Think of it as music advertising.

Bands are looking to expand their listener bases and connect with new fans.

MusicXray is a platform that allows them to do just that.

Once you sign up, fill in your music preferences, and you will get new songs delivered to your inbox. Play each song for at least 30 seconds, and you will get $0.10.

You won’t get thousands of new songs every day, but once in awhile, you may discover your new favorite band and be compensated for it at the same time.

Watch Videos

---

Yes, you can earn money by simply watching videos. InboxDollars pays you up to $0.03 per view with a video length of 1 to 5 minutes.

Of course, that’s not a lot of money, but if you already watch Netflix on Saturday night for 5 hours, make an effort to click a mouse every few minutes on InboxDollars, and get rewarded for it.

And at the end of the month, you may even score your first free gift card!

Do easy Tasks Offline

---

Obviously, if you can do simple tasks online, then you can do simple tasks offline.

However, offline tasks may require more from you than simply sitting next to your computer with an internet connection.

You may be required to travel from one place to another or have your own transportation.

Because of that, the earning potential is higher.

Deliver food

---

I’m sure you’ve heard of Uber Eats, maybe you’ve even tried it before.

You can be the same guy or girl that shows up on your doorstep to deliver food and make a decent amount of money doing it.

The working schedule for Uber Eats is flexible. Work for an hour or only during the weekends and you can deliver food by foot, bike, scooter, or car.

Get on the road and earn up to $12 per hour.

And try not to spend all your hard-earned money on food, it’s gonna be tempting.

Invest Money

---

I know, investing money can seem scary and intimidating, because:

• You are not sure how to start.
• You don’t know who to trust.
• You’re are afraid of losing money.
• You think that you don’t have enough money to invest.

And that’s okay. Those are all reasonable fears and doubts one may before undertaking any new financial endeavor.

Take your time and familiarize yourself with the companies below which allow you to start small and invest from as little as $5.

Then, decide for yourself or speak with a financial advisor to see if the rewards are worth the risk.

Spare Change

---

Acorns is a personal finance app that automatically invests your spare change with annual returns of up to 7.5%.

Here is how it works.

• Link your bank card to the Acorns app.
• Acorns rounds up your bills and invests the spare change.
  • Example: If you spend $3.50, Acorns rounds up the bill to $4 and puts aside $0.50 for your next investment.
• Once you collect $5 in spare change, Acorns automatically transfers that amount to your investment account.
• Your investments are then diversified across more than 7,000 stocks and bonds.

The investments are protected by the SIPC up to $500,000 in case Acorns shuts down.

Acorns starts at just $1 per month, so if you get on average 5% annual returns, your spare change must round up to least $240 per year to cover your subscription costs from investment ($12 a year) to make the subscription worthwhile.

After that, it’s pure profit. Gift cards will be raining from the sky not literally).

Stocks

---

Stock trading used to be complicated and unreasonable for ordinary men and women.

Robinhood has changed that!

Robinhood is an online trading app that is directed mainly at beginner investors. You can invest in stocks, options, exchange-traded funds, and cryptocurrency for as little as $10.

Why do I say that the platform is designed for beginners? Because it’s features are limited, but don’t get me wrong, it will help you to begin investing and learn how the process works.

You can’t invest in mutual funds or penny stocks through the app, and all customer service support is via chat or email.

But, Robinhood is FREE to use and there aren’t any fees or commissions.

As always, consult with your financial advisor before making any investments. If you don’t have one yet, read this article on how to get cheap or free Financial advice.

Having said that, a few investments can score you some free gift cards given enough time. If you don’t yet feel comfortable investing, try another category of strategies for collecting free gift cards.
