Hey all 😊

I posted a couple days ago about how Freecash has recently been removed from the Google and Apple App Stores. You can still sign up via the web, but definitely some interesting stuff going on behind the scenes.

But even without the removals, I know Freecash isn't for everyone.

I've earned about $150 to date with Freecash by cherry-picking offers. However it's not the main rewards platform for me. And it doesn't work super well in every country and has tracking issues for some people.

SO I wanted to put together a list of some of the best sites and apps like Freecash you can consider. I'd also love to know what alternatives you guys recommend too.

Here we go!

The Best Sites & Apps Like Freecash

I've been using gpt platforms since 2017 or so. They're still one of my main side hustles, and I've probably tried dozens over the years.

Here are some of the top Freecash alternatives you can check out:

1. Scrambly (US): A gpt app focused on games and FinTech offers. Cashouts start at $1 via PayPal, Visa, or gift cards. Compared to Freecash, it’s easier to start with but has fewer offers.
2. Gemsloot (Global): A global rewards platform offering surveys, game offers, and typical “get-paid-to” tasks. Has really good FinTech bonuses too in the US. Cash out via PayPal, crypto, or gift cards with relatively low minimums.
3. Prolific (Global-Ish): This is a research study platform where you get paid for academic surveys that generally pay much higher than standard sites like Freecash offer. Main downside is there's a waitlist to join.
4. Kashkick (US): Earn by playing games, downloading apps, shopping online, and by completing surveys. Probably the most similar look and feel overall to Freecash. You get paid with PayPal after earning $10.
5. BigCash (Global): This is a newer one I'm testing. It has nice sign-up bonuses in a lot of countries and lots of gaming offers. Rewards start at only $1 too which is nice.
6. Branded Surveys (US/CA/UK): IMO Branded Surveys has way better survey rates than Freecash and way worse gaming/download offers. Has a nice mix of rewards including PayPal and gift cards, only need $5 to cash out.
7. PrizeRebel (Global-Ish): An older site offering surveys, offers, and tasks for points. Cashout options include PayPal, crypto vouchers, and gift cards with low minimums (~$5). Compared to Freecash, it’s more reliable but feels dated and has fewer high-paying opportunities.
8. Swagbucks (Global-Ish): Another massive player in the industry. Honestly, it has everything Freecash has plus some more unique ways to earn, like scanning receipts. Always worth comparing offers head-to-head in my experience.
9. Snakzy (US): This is another new app I'm testing. I really like the large sign up bonus potential but dislike the high first-time cash out requirement. But could be worth checking out if you're grinding a lot of games.
10. VYBS (US): Also a gaming-focused app, not for survey lovers. It's newer and has some solid offers and rates, but again, need to grind out games to cash out.

Most of these are super similar to Freecash in terms of earning potential and offers. But you might find slightly better UIs, reward options, or sometimes higher rates too.

For example I like how Scrambly's UI works better and think tracking is better, and find that Gemsloot has higher-paying bonus offers, especially for FinTech.

I find that Freecash brings a lot of offers to market first, but it doesn't necessarily pay the most, so checking its competitors is worthwhile 😎

Other Freecash Alternatives With Higher Earning Potential

Additionally, I'll say that none of these apps have serious earning potential unless you spend money completing certain gaming offers.

SOME of them like Scrambly, Gemsloot, and Kashkick have some pretty nice bonus churning opportunities. But again, these aren't full-time jobs or even close to that for 99% of people.

If you're looking for higher-potential ideas, turning to something like freelancing is a better choice. You could also look for paid focus groups with companies like User Interviews, Respondent, etc. Even turning to the gig economy would be a more lucrative choice in most areas.

BUT if you want to use reward apps like Freecash, I think this list is a solid starting point 😊

Would love to know what you guys think as well / if you have any recommendations! Have a great day all!

Hey all 😊

As we've all figured out by now, gas prices are super expensive. It doesn't look like they're coming down anytime soon either.

SO after a little research and digging, I wanted to put together a list of some of the best gas reward apps and tactics out there to basically get lower fuel prices, earn cashback, and keep a little more money in your pocket at the end of the month.

Please comment any apps or ideas I've missed as well 😊

Anyways, some of the best gas reward apps and loyalty programs out there seem to be:

1. Upside: This is a popular cashback app that usually gives you ~0.05 - $0.10¢/gal back on gas (plus groceries/restaurants) just for claiming offers and paying normally. You can then cash out with gift cards or PayPal. It also has a $5 promo code you can use for a nice bonus as a new member.
2. GasBuddy: IMO the best app for finding the cheapest gas nearby if you just need to search quickly, with optional savings if you use their “Pay with GasBuddy” card.
3. Wholesale Clubs (Costco, Sam's Club, etc.): If you live near a Costco, Sam's Club, BJ's or another wholesale club that has discounted gas, the annual membership cost might be worth it. PLUS you can often open a credit card with Costco or Sam's Club and get additional cashback on your fuel purchases. Costco Hotdogs are also GOATED lol.
4. Walmart+: This one is sneaky, but if you happen to have Walmart+ you get up to $0.10¢/gal in savings at thousands of stations, including ones like Exxon, Murphy, and others.
5. Snaplii: I've just started testing this app out, but it lets you buy gift cards and then pays you with cashback. You can find brands like Esso, PetroCan, Shell and others on here. Gonna test it out and report back 🫡
6. Checkout 51: This app is similar to Upside and has gas deals, but I like Upside more since you cash out much faster.
7. Murphy Drive Rewards: This is a loyalty program for Murphy USA stations. Earn points and get cents-off-per-gallon discounts over time.
8. Exxon Mobile Rewards: Earn points on fuel and store purchases at Exxon/Mobil, redeemable for fuel discounts.
9. Shell Fuel Rewards: Popular program that gives instant cents-off per gallon (often stackable with promos and credit cards). I use this the most alongside Upside and GasBuddy.
10. Other Fuel Reward Programs: Most major gas stations (BP, Chevron, etc.) have their own apps/loyalty programs with small per-gallon discounts and promos. It's worth looking into, especially if you're always filling up at the same station in your town.
11. Earnify: This is a BP/Amoco rewards app. You earn points on fuel and in-store purchases for gas discounts.
12. Love's Rewards Program & Pilot Flying J: Truck stop rewards programs offering fuel discounts, perks, and point. Especially useful for road trips and long-distance drivers.
13. iExit: A cool road trip app that shows gas prices, food, and amenities at upcoming highway exits (great for planning cheaper stops).
14. Credit Card Rewards: Many cards offer 1–5% cash back on gas—often the easiest “set it and forget it” way to save (and stack with apps). If you can responsibly use a credit card, I think this is an absolute must.

Now this list is a bit overwhelming and kinda redundant if you try using everything on it 😅

IMO the most impactful combo is 👉 Pick a good gas rewards credit card + gas station loyalty program + a cashback app like Upside or Checkout 51. If you live super close to a wholesale club, consider getting a membership. And use iExit or similar apps if you plan out large road trips.

ALSO super important: if you make money with your vehicle in any way, you should track your mileage.

The IRS lets you claim fuel expenses as a business expense. For 2026, it's been moved to 72.5 cents per mile for business, 20.5 cents for medical/moving (active-duty military), and 14 cents for charity.

This might not sound like much, but every little bit counts! And for tracking your qualifying mileage, you can use a notebook and keep your paper receipts for proof. You can also use apps like Gridwise to do this automatically which is what I suggest if you make money in the gig economy with any driving/delivery gigs.

Anyways, I hope this list is helpful 😊 Like I said, please LMK if you have a favorite gas rewards app or another method to save money on gas these days so other people can try them out too.

Thanks all!

Hey all,

I'm testing out more cashback apps this month and am also looking into Snaplii now.

I'm curious: has anyone used Snaplii and managed to cash out a gift card reward with it yet?

Snaplii is a Canadian and US cashback rewards app that basically lets you earn cashback at hundreds of brands. But it's a bit different than most apps in the space which is why I'm curious if you guys have used it.

Here's how Snaplii works:

1. You purchase gift cards from 300+ Snaplii partners that you want to shop at (includes Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, DoorDash, CVS, Kroger and tons of others)
2. You earn Snaplii Cash instantly once you buy these gift cards
3. You can spend the gift card you purchased on something you were going to buy anyways
4. You can then spend your Snaplii Cash on more gift cards

SO you're basically buying gift cards upfront via Snaplii at places you want to shop at to secure instant cashback.

This is different from platforms like Pogo, Rakuten, Franki, Fetch etc where you spend your regular money and get cashback.

Looks like more upfront work, but higher potential payouts. For example you see a lot of retailers in the 2.5-5% cashback range, but sometimes ones offer 10% or more.

I'm going to start using Snaplii for gas, groceries, and Amazon. Will report back here with any savings/gift card redemptions but would love to hear from you guys also 😊

PS if anyone has a Snaplii referral code or promo code to share, feel free as well! Would love to apply this to my account and others can as well lol.

💸 ALSO: We put out a cool online freebies bonus churning guide you can check out as well for some nice rewards!

Hey all,

I've been looking into way more passive earning methods lately. And it got me thinking: how much monthly passive income would it take to genuinely change your life right now?

IMO I feel like it's not even that much.

Like if groceries and some other bills could be covered by dividend income, interest, or some other passive income source, that would be so sweet 😅

Right now I'm working towards this with investing, data collection apps, high-yield savings account, and a few other ideas. Curious if you guys have an income goal / what you're using to get there.

Curious what online side hustle idea worked for you guys and was super easy to hit $100 with.

For me, I think the easiest $100 I ever made was when I started writing for Medium back in the day. At the time they were giving our new writer bonuses, and I somehow got a $100 bonus after posting a story about phone farming lol.

Other than that, I'd say focus groups with User Interviews have been super easy money when I qualify for studies.

Curious what's worked well for you guys! 😎

Everyone is talking about making money with AI, faceless channels, automation etc.

But I'm wondering: what do you guys think is an underrated way to make money now that's not getting the attention it deserves?

IMO the classics like doing cash odd jobs on Craigslist, certain gig apps, learning how to flip/resell are some prime examples. They're tried and true hustles that can earn a decent amount, but not so flashy I suppose or exciting.

LMK what you think 😊
