1. Before the baby, before the husband and before the pets, I fell in love. With Target. Target frequently offers free gift cards for future use when you purchase multiple quantities of a certain item. I was just there yesterday and found that they were having such a deal on Aveeno Baby Lotion -- something my baby uses on a daily basis that seems to disappear quicker than food in a full refrigerator since we live in the high desert. I purchased three of the lotions and received a $5.00 gift card that an be used on a later purchase. Last month, Tide Pods, another frequently used commodity in our home, were buy two and receive a $5.00. I combined that deal with a coupon and felt proud to be stocking up with such a great deal. My absolute proudest free Target gift card moment, however, came when they were offering a $25 gift card on a $100 purchase of baby items concurrently with an offer of a $10 gift card for purchasing two cases of Target brand diapers which retail for about $25.00 a piece. We use cloth diapers at home but indulge in disposables at night and when we're out of the house. I thus had no problem investing $100 to receive four cases of diapers and $45 in free gift cards (two free $10 cards for buying 4 cases and a free $25 card for having a total baby purchase of $100). Winning.
2. I joined the Ibotta app late in the game. That's okay though as I'm making up for lost time. If you haven't joined already, here's a link to download the free app and join my team so we can work on monthly bonuses together! Ibotta offers you rebates on items from all walks of like: groceries, liquor (yes!), apparel, pet supplies, movie tickets and more! I particularly like it because they offer rebates on "any brand" of certain items that are often difficult to find coupons for. Think about your last grocery trip. Did you buy milk? Bread? Eggs? Cereal? There's likely a rebate waiting for you right now. I recently had a $10 coupon off of a $10 purchase at JCPenney. I combined it with a $10 rebate Penney's was offering off of a $25 purchase through Ibotta and felt like I owned the place. Anyway, the money you earn through the rebates can be pulled out as cash via Paypal or withdrawn as gift cards to certain stores. I have an Amazon Prime account and literally completed 90% of my 2014 Christmas shopping with it. I am now choosing to withdraw my Ibotta money in the form of Amazon gift cards to add to the stock pile for the 2015 holiday season as I know I would just blow through the cash if I choose the Paypal route.
3. Bing! Bing is a search engine that rewards you for use in the form of points that can be traded in for various gift cards. It will take a few weeks to earn a free gift card because there's a daily limit to how many points you can accumulate. You get rewarded for searches on your phone and your PC as well as bonus points you can earn here and there. You're already using the internet, right? Why not get paid to do it?
What am I missing? Please let me know how you earn free gift cards to help my stock pile grow! I'm listening.
Are you turning into a crazy couponer?!
