We all need to find ways to earn cash to buy essentials like pet food, pet supplies and veterinary emergency, or offset these costs against energy or other emergencies. We’ve all been plunged into uncertainty because of the escalating cost of living and it’s continuing through 2023. Households, animal rescues, and other charities could try earning cashback by scanning receipts from everyday shopping, surveys or taking advantage of the point system offered companies.
It would help if you had a Smartphone to download apps from Google Play (Android users) and Apple Store (iPhone users), then search for free cashback apps and download them to your device. These companies are doing market research and for your participation, you are rewarded with cash or vouchers in exchange relating to your shopping experiences. For example, I upload receipts from Aldi, Tescos, Veterinaries, tearooms, Factory Shop, Poundstretcher, and online purchases.
Quick process using the cashback app
Apps that rely on scanned shopping receipts are easy to upload, or e-receipts can be emailed directly. Shoppix offers 30 tokens if uploaded on the day, or 25 tokens the day after. more tokens if uploaded on the day of the purchase. Amazon asks for ten receipts and earns you £5 every month. Surveys and scratchcards earn more points, tokens or cash.
Entering surveys is another form of earning cash.
