Two days ago I discovered a new app that allows you to gain money by watching videos, scanning barcodes and getting cash back by scanning a receipt. It is called Jingit. At first it appears that there is not much to be made on this site, but I felt like giving it a try anyway because any money is more than I had. At first you can watch videos, which they stopped me at four of them or $.75. This only took 3-5 minutes so I felt it was worth my time.
The next way that it allows you to earn money is by scanning barcodes, exactly like shopkick. Jingit, however, does not have nearly the amount as shopkick and they are not as available I had four on Jingit yesterday that I scanned while I was doing shopkick. This netted me $2.00 which was great for the time but I am not for sure when they will be back.
You can also get money if you are interested in the items on the app and want cash back. Personally, the only one on there I would buy is the yogurt so I can tell this section is not as much for me, but it may be for some. They offer over $1 per most items cash back.
Jingit appears that it will only allow you to earn $10 a week without any referral This is okay to me, since an extra $40 a month just for this would fill up my gas tank once, but it appears the more you refer the more potential you have as with most sites.
Lastly, Jingit offers a debit card that you may sign up for once you hit $3.00 earned. I am $.25 away from this, but I plan to order one once I am able so that I can use it for gas / groceries if this app does indeed allow me to make up to $40 a month.
I will keep up to date how this app goes, and of course post new sites I find. If you have any experience with Jingit feel free to comment below!

Smartphone Users! Shopkick!
This is a post that will be strictly for those people that have access to a smartphone, whether that be Android or iPhone. There is an app available in both app stores that is called Shopkick. I have been using this app for 4 months now, so I feel I finally am able to spread the word about it and how it can benefit you today! If you get your groceries at Walmart, Target this app will really come in handy for you.
Shopkick is quite simple. All you do is scan products that they show you on the app and you get "kicks". Each product is usually worth a different amount of kicks. The kicks can be exchanged for gift cards to those stores you're shopping at or other stores of your choosing such as Starbucks. The way they are calculated is $2 for every 500 kicks you obtain. This may seem like a lot, but I usually am able to get this much each trip to Target, and this only takes me about 10 minutes of scanning items that I am already near while I am shopping! There are several items worth 100 kicks alone, and you even get kicks for walking into the store.
The way you get money from this is that it allows you to trade in the amount of kicks that you have for giftcards. Being able to get $2 almost every single time I go to Target is very helpful on my grocery bill. I find myself making nearly $20 a month just using this app. While this may not be a lot, combining this with couponing, I save over 50% almost every single grocery trip compared to when I did not shopkick or use coupons! This is incredible savings over a years time and I have not changed the food or beverages that I buy.
There are some times when there will be products that you are not able to find on the app, but do not panic, the products do not go away and they actually become worth more kicks the next time that you come to the store. The cashiers at Target and Starbucks that I have used the giftcards at are always willing to be patient with you. I have used multiple giftcards at once before and they gladly accept this, one time one of the cashiers even did shopkick herself! Go out and try Shopkick for yourself today if you have not already!
How it works!
