10+ Ways To Get Free Gift Cards
There are so many ways to get FREE gift cards! Here are my favorites!
Cashback Apps to Sign Up and Get Money Instantly
With these apps, you can get cash back, free gift cards and more. I have included how much I have gotten back from several of these apps I use on a weekly basis.
INBOX DOLLARS:
InboxDollars is one of the best survey sites to earn cash. New users can instantly get $5.
For even more, you can also complete the list in the top right corner of quick activities to earn an additional 50¢ bonus for each one.
BRANDCLUB: I have received over $265 Paypal
Register click join for all of the “clubs” that are listed on that page
Connect your Amazon, Walmart, and Target accounts to get $7. They’ll load $10 for making a new account, then $7 from that.
Go to the home page in the app and scroll down to the tutorials. Scroll through those to get another $3.
It might take a day or so for them to allow you to cash out via Venmo or Paypal.
Make sure you do the email verification under the Rewards-cash out section as well.
IBOTTA: I’ve earned $392.85
Ibotta is one of my fave apps. Add deals for all kinds of items like food, alcohol, beauty items, clothes, and household items. Then scan your receipt (and usually the item’s bar code) after you buy the item. Once you get to $20, choose from PayPal or gift cards for places like Amazon.
Swagbucks
Swagbucks, allows you to earn Swagbucks points (aka SB) in various ways. Answer surveys, watch videos, search the app, print coupons, and shop online or in-store to rack up those Swagbucks.
Get a $5 bonus AND an additional $10 bonus, just make a purchase of $25 or more from one of their listed merchants; this is called a “Swag Up.”

FETCH APP: Over $820 in Amazon gift cards
Fetch is at the top of my fave apps.
Scan receipts for everything from groceries to gasoline and more.

Enter my referral code, R3QDP, during signup and you’ll get 3,000 Fetch Points ($3.00 in points!) when you complete one receipt.
Your gift card will be emailed to you.
TARGET CARTWHEEL APP:
With Target’s app, you browse and add offers to your unique bar code online. Then, just pull up the bar code on your phone and present it like a coupon at checkout.
PAYPAL:
Sign up to sign up with Paypal and earn $10 free!
RAKUTEN APP:
Hundreds of readers have gotten this deal and you can too! It’s so easy. Sign up for Rakuten using this referral link. You must be a new user and use the referral link to get $40 cash back.
Within 90 days you have to make at least $40 in purchases through their shopping links and they’ll deposit $40 into your account. You can make multiple purchases to hit the $40 threshold, and they have hundreds of cash back partners like Shop Disney, Nike, Adidas, Belk, PetSmart, Gap, and more. You can choose to get paid by check or via paypal.
GIGWALKER APP:
Get paid for completing small “gigs” in your area with Gigwalk. Download the app and you’ll see a list of jobs you can apply for. If your application is accepted, you’ll have a certain timeframe to complete the task.
Examples of past gigs: going into a particular Hallmark store to make sure all the cards are in correct categories, or going into a Walmart to make sure a new Red Bull product display is organized with the correct call-outs.
Once you complete your mission, you’ll cash out through PayPal.
RECEIPT HOG APP:
The simplest way possible to earn money from your receipts is by using Receipt Hog. Just take a picture of your receipt and upload it to the app, and you’ll earn coins. Trade your coins in for Amazon gift cards or PayPal cash.
Download Receipt Hog (iOS) (Android).
BeFrugal
Another cashback app, BeFrugal, helps you earn up to 40% cashback from more than 4,000 stores. Once you have earned your first $10 in cashback, you can also get a $10 signup bonus.
This ensures that you actually use the app before you get your bonus. Your earnings will be deposited into your bank account via direct deposit, PayPal, or other means.
Drop
Making a little extra cash is easy with Drop since everything is automated. Rather than scan your receipts, you can link your debit and credit cards through the app, and you will receive automatic cashback in the form of points.
With those points, you can get free gift cards from most top retailers, including Amazon.
Capital One Shopping Credits
Capital One Shopping partners with select online stores to offer you a percentage of your money back from any eligible online purchase you make. You receive this money back as Capital One Shopping Credits, which can be redeemed for gift cards to popular retailers through Capital One Shopping.
