Have you heard about Fetch Rewards? My Fetch Rewards Review will show you how to earn free gift cards by simply snapping a picture of your receipts with your phone. That’s it – Fetch is really that easy!

Fetch Rewards is a cash back and gift card cell phone app that rewards you for purchases that you’ve already made.

With this app, you can scan your grocery receipts (from any grocery store or wholesale club, any time) and earn free gift cards.

Plus, Fetch Rewards is free. You don’t have to pay money to sign up or to use the app.

I will explain more in my Fetch rewards app review, but with Fetch, you earn points when you submit your receipts to the Fetch Rewards app from any grocery store, clothing store, restaurant, gas station, and more. Yes, ANY!

Then, you redeem your points for gift cards (to places such as Target, Amazon, or Apple) and other rewards.

All you have to do is take a picture of your receipt with your cell phone and easily earn points.

Here’s how Fetch Rewards works:

  1. Shop like you normally would
  2. Scan your receipt after you’re done
  3. Earn points on Fetch Rewards

Fetch Rewards Review

 

What is Fetch Rewards?

I want to start my Fetch Rewards review with some basic information about the company and app. Fetch Rewards is based out of Madison, Wisconsin, and this shopping app has helped millions of people save money with the tap of a button as you simply scan physical and digital receipts.

Every month, over 11,000,000 people use Fetch Rewards. It is super easy to use Fetch and receive free gift cards.

I keep saying it’s simple because it really is! Every time you shop or dine out, you can scan your receipt into the Fetch Rewards app.

You can scan receipts from any grocery store, clothing store, pet store, home improvement store, club store, restaurant, gas station, and more. Basically, anywhere you shop, you can snap a picture of the receipt and scan it into Fetch.

You can even use your digital receipts from online purchases such as Amazon, Target, Instacart, and more by connecting your online accounts.

If you have a receipt, then you can scan it!

You earn points when you submit your receipts, and Fetch pays you in points that you can redeem for gift cards. 

There are many redemption options. Here are some of the places you can receive gift cards from:

  • Starbucks
  • Dunkin Donuts
  • Amazon
  • Target
  • Visa gift cards
  • Airbnb
  • Old Navy
  • Ulta
  • Barnes & Noble
  • Bass Pro Shops
  • Instacart
  • Sam’s
  • BJ’s
  • Best Buy
  • Lowe’s

And so many more!

You can also decide to put your points towards charitable organizations, such as The Red Cross or the Clean Water Fund. You can even use your points to enter sweepstakes in the Fetch app.

Don’t worry, I’ll explain more about how to redeem your points further down in my Fetch Rewards review.

 

How does Fetch Rewards work?

Here’s how Fetch Rewards works:

  1. Sign up and download Fetch Rewards by creating an account or connecting a Google or Facebook account account, and then make a password for your account.
  2. Go shopping like you normally do.
  3. Scan your first receipt and earn points. To do this, you simply go to your Fetch Rewards app and click on the orange circle at the bottom of your screen that says “Snap.” You then take a picture of your receipt. If you have a digital receipt, you can just tap on the blue circle instead.
  4. Redeem your points for gift cards, make charitable donations, enter sweepstakes, and more.

I have personally used Fetch to prepare for my Fetch Rewards review, and I can promise you it’s just that simple!

 

How much can you earn with Fetch Rewards?

The amount you can earn on Fetch Rewards really depends on your spending, whether you are completing the Fetch Special Offers, and so on.

Because I am writing this Fetch Rewards review, I wanted to use the app for a while to give you the best review possible, and I was able to earn around $56 in free gift cards in 2-3 months by simply spending how I normally do. I didn’t put any additional effort in the app other than just scanning my shopping receipts.

As you can see, Fetch Rewards clearly won’t make you rich, but you can easily make a little extra money shopping like you normally do.

I also don’t think that I spent more than 20 minutes total in the Fetch app. It’s easy to use and only takes like 10 seconds to scan a receipt. You don’t have to do anything else.

 

What stores can I use for Fetch Rewards?

The great thing about Fetch Rewards is that you can use any retailer or store where you buy groceries, from big box stores, to mom and pop stores, to drug stores, convenience stores, hardware stores, liquor stores, gas stations, club stores (such as Costco), and more.

With any receipt I get, I scan it into the Fetch Rewards app. It takes less than a minute, and you earn points with every scan – so easy!

Plus, you don’t have to jump through any hoops to get points. You don’t need to pre-select the offers in the Fetch Rewards app or scan barcodes, plus there are no surveys or ads. Simply go shopping at your favorite retailers just like usual.

You simply scan your receipt after you are done shopping and earn points.

 

How many receipts can I scan on Fetch a day?

Fetch Rewards allows you to submit 35 receipts within a 7-day period. Electronic receipts that are processed on your account do not count toward the 35 receipt limit.

Other things to know about using Fetch Rewards:

  • Fetch Rewards works for stores located in the United States and Puerto Rico.
  • You have 14 days to scan your receipts to earn points.
  • When you scan your receipts, your receipt must include the store name, the items that you bought, the date of your purchase, the store’s address, and the total amount that you spent. All of that information is included on your receipt.
  • If you scan a receipt with a participating item from the Special Offers tab, then you will get bonus points.
  • If you have a long receipt, you simply just snap more pictures to make sure that your whole receipt is included.
  • You should never make fake receipts or scan the same receipt twice in order to try and get more points. This violates Fetch’s terms of service. Always be honest!

 

Does Fetch Rewards take gas receipts?

Yes, you can scan your gas receipts with Fetch Rewards.

If you’re looking to earn even more from your gas station purchases, then I recommend Upside.

Upside is an app that helps you find gas stations, groceries, and restaurants where you can earn cash back. You simply sign up for a free account, and then look at the Upside app to find places near you.

You can earn up to $0.25/gallon cash back at gas stations, up to 30% back on grocery purchases, and up to 45% back at restaurants.

You can check out Upside here to learn more.

Fetch Rewards Special Offers

What receipts give you the most points on Fetch?

There are several main ways that you can earn points on Fetch Rewards, such as:

  1. Scanning receipts. When you purchase something, whether it be online or in-person, you can take a picture of your receipt with your cell phone and earn points. Every time you scan a receipt in the app, you will receive a minimum of 25 points.
  2. Complete special offers. When you are logged into your Fetch Rewards account, you can see what products will give you the most points. As you can see in the image above, you simply just go to the Fetch Rewards App and go to the Discover tab. There, you will see what items will earn you the most points and extra points. Special offers can give you anywhere from 250 points to even over 5,000 points. New special offers are added almost every day too, so even if you don’t see something today, there may be something that interests you tomorrow. Now, you don’t have to look at the Discover page if you don’t want to – it’s simply just another way to earn more points. You can just use Fetch Rewards and scan your receipts without ever doing anything else in the Fetch Rewards app.
  3. Refer friends and family. Sometimes, you can receive around 2,000 to 4,000 points by referring a new user. You can simply head to the Refer A Friend tab in the Fetch Rewards app to find your referral code.
  4. Joining the Huggies Rewards+ Club. If you use Huggies diapers, you can earn up to 50,000 points by simply purchasing certain Huggies items, such as Huggies Diapers or Huggies Little Movers. Plus, you can get Huggies special offers points as well which are quite high as well.
  5. Save on prescriptions. With Fetch, you can also save on your prescriptions. GoodRx is a free prescription price comparison tool that anyone can use. Simply head to your “Me” tab and click on GoodRx. You can then show this card when paying for prescriptions. You’ll get 10,000 points on your first prescription purchase, and then 1,500 points for future purchases and refills.

For me, I mainly just scan my receipts and refer others to Fetch Rewards. But if I wanted to earn more, there are several other great ways to increase the amount of rewards points that I can earn.

 

How many points equal a dollar on Fetch?

On average, 1,000 points equals $1 in rewards.

10,000 points is equivalent to around $10.

 

How do I redeem a free gift card from Fetch Rewards?

To redeem a Fetch reward, you will simply go to your Fetch account, and look at the bottom of the app. Look for the Rewards tab and tap on that.

Here, you will see what you can use your points on, such as:

  • Gift cards up to $50
  • Sweepstakes entries
  • Charitable organizations
  • Fetch merchandise, such as t-shirts

Then, you click on the button that shows how many points you want to use.

Next, you click on the orange button that says “Get My Reward” at the bottom.

You will then be asked to confirm that this is what you would like to do. It typically takes around three days to process your redemption request.

Once your reward is ready, you will get a notification. You can then go to your Rewards tab, then click on “My Rewards” to find your reward. Here, you will see your gift card code so that you can redeem your gift card at the company that you have chosen.

What’s the Fetch bonus code?

Fetch Rewards does not currently have an active bonus code. But, once they do, I will update this and let you know.

 

What is the catch with Fetch Rewards? How does Fetch Rewards make money? What does Fetch Rewards do with your receipts?

These are all great questions, and they are definitely things I want to cover in this Fetch Rewards review.

Fetch Rewards is so easy to use, but what’s in it for them? Why do they give out rewards and free gift cards just for scanning your receipts?

Fetch Rewards is paying you for the data they get from your receipt. They don’t see your name or other private or personal information. Instead, they are observing trends in shopper behavior. They then use this information to help their partners better understand their customer’s shopping habits.

Fetch Rewards also makes money by finding good deals for those who are signed up for Fetch Rewards. The Special Offers section in the Fetch Rewards app is an area where companies pay to be featured in this list, sort of like an advertisement. Companies know that they can get a lot of people looking at their company in the Fetch Rewards app, so they pay Fetch Rewards for this advertisement.

 

Is Fetch Rewards safe?

Yes, Fetch Rewards is safe to use.

They go through many steps to protect your personal information, and all of the data that they collect is anonymized and aggregated with everyone else’s, so your personal information is never shown.

Also, your receipts only show the last five digits of your credit card number, so you don’t have to worry about that being shared either because Fetch can’t see it.

 

Do my Fetch Rewards points expire?

If your Fetch Rewards account is not used for 90 days, then your points will expire. Your account will receive inactive status if you haven’t submitted any receipts or redeemed any rewards in a 90-day period.

This means that you just simply need to scan a receipt or redeem your Fetch points so your points never expire. If you get in the habit of scanning your receipts every time you shop, you shouldn’t have a problem with expiring points.

It’s very easy to stay active as pretty much everyone spends money in a 90-day period.

 

Is Ibotta or Fetch better?

Fetch Rewards and Ibotta are very similar.

Fetch Rewards is a little easier to use than Ibotta because all you need to do is scan your receipt into the Fetch Rewards app, and then you are done. With Ibotta, it’s more like clipping coupons and takes a little more time, but you may be able to earn a little more with Ibotta.

The great thing is that you can use the same exact grocery receipt for both Fetch and Ibotta. So if you have the time, you can try using both to earn even more rewards and free gift cards. This will allow you to increase your earnings by doing very little extra work.

Here’s how Ibotta works:

With Ibotta, you simply create an Ibotta account, unlock rebates and rewards, go shopping, verify your purchases, and then get cash.

You can redeem rebates from over hundreds of stores, such as Walmart, Target, Kroger, Publix, Walgreens, Home Depot, Old Navy, Chewy, and more.

You can also earn cash back online and in-store with Ibotta.

Ibotta is one of the easiest money making apps because you’re making money shopping like you normally do. They pay in cash or gift cards to Amazon, Starbucks, and other stores.

 

Is Fetch legit? – Fetch Rewards Reviews

Yes, Fetch Rewards is legitimate.

I looked through other online Fetch app reviews and found it’s rated 4.8/5 in the App Store with over 2,600,000 ratings.

In the Google Play store, the average Fetch app review is 4.6/5 stars with over 475,000 reviews on Fetch rewards and over 10,000,000 downloads.

You can see even more Fetch Rewards reviews on Trustpilot.

 

How do I contact Fetch Rewards?

If you have any questions or concerns with Fetch Rewards, you can contact them at [email protected].

You can also go to your app, click on the “Me” tab on the bottom, then click on “Help Center,” then “Contact Us.”

Here’s a screenshot of my Fetch Rewards Account. In 2 months, I have earned 55,566 points, which is equal to a little over $50 in free gift cards.

My Fetch Rewards Review

I hope you enjoyed my Fetch Rewards review. I have been using it for several months now and it is very easy to use.

Fetch Rewards rewards shoppers for shopping at their local supermarket and other popular retailers.

With Fetch Rewards, you can start earnings points by submitting both physical receipts and e-receipts so that you can turn your points into Amazon gift cards, Visa gift cards, and more. There’s no coupon clipping and it is very easy to use.

Simply just upload receipts that you have and earn Fetch Rewards points.

You can upload receipts from retailers such as Target, Walmart, Costco, Publix, Kroger, Walgreens, Home Depot, and more. Small stores, big stores, and everything in between.

This is a must-have shopping app that will help you to save more money, without spending a lot of extra time or effort on your end.

50 best ways to make quick money in one day

Making money quickly is possible with some time and effort.

There are a lot of ways to make quick money in one day. In fact, many ideas center around how to make money online for beginners.

Here are 50 of the best methods that you can use to make some extra cash.

1. Work on freelance projects

Working on freelance projects can help you make quick money in one day by providing you with one-off jobs that can benefit from your skill set.

With the percentage of freelance workers in the workforce climbing steadily, there are many online marketplaces that make it easy to connect with businesses and individuals who need your services.

  • Sites like Upwork, Fiverr, and Toptal allow you to create a profile and showcase your work, making it easy for you to set your own rates and decide on the length of the project.

Additionally, the more experience you get, the more you can charge and the higher your demand will be, potentially leading to full-time work.

2. Sell items on consignment

Selling items on consignment can help you make quick money by providing an easy, fast way to earn a profit from gently used items.

With consignment shops, you can take your clothes, electronics, jewelry, musical instruments, or even your car to be sold without having to take an active role.

For a cut of the profits, your items will be placed in front of buyers, allowing you to make quick cash.

3. Take on odd jobs

If you’re looking for ways to make money quickly, odd jobs are a great way to do so.

Think of day laborer types of jobs. You can use an app like TaskRabbit to find work in your area.

Some of the common odd jobs you can consider include:

  • Gardening – you can offer to do gardening work such as weeding, planting, mowing, and trimming.
  • Furniture Assembly – if you have experience in assembling furniture, you can offer your services to people who need help.
  • Cleaning – you can offer cleaning services to keep homes and offices tidy.
  • Painting – you can offer your painting services to those who need help with their walls.
  • General Handyman Work – if you are good with your hands and have experience in repairing and fixing things, you can offer your services to people who need help.
  • Moving Gig – people are always looking for help with moving.

4. Trade Options

If done correctly, trading in options can help you make quick money and generate substantial returns in a relatively short period of time.

However, trading options come from experience and should not be taken as a get-rich scheme. Personally, I trade options for a living.

You can make quick money trading options if you know what you’re doing. The key is to identify when the market is going to move in a certain direction and then make the right trades to capitalize on the profits.

Here is the one and only investing course I recommend.

5. Become a rideshare driver

Becoming a rideshare driver can be an easy and convenient way to make money quickly.

All you need to get started is a valid license, active insurance coverage, and an approved vehicle. With Uber and Lyft, you can set your own hours and receive a base rate plus tips and distance or time-based bonuses.

From one of our rideshare drivers, we learned some tricks of the trade such as working in peak hours or in areas with popular nightlife scenes or active airports.

6. Offer house cleaning services

Nowadays, people don’t want to learn their own house, so starting a house cleaning service is a great way to make quick money.

With countless opportunities available online or on local job boards, you can easily find a job that works for you. There are even ways to market yourself so potential customers can find you!

If you have a background in cleaning and don’t mind physical labor, you can make up to $25 an hour or more.

Becoming a housecleaner is a great way to make extra money on the side and you can even make up to $200+ per weekend.

With a bit of effort, you could have a great side-hustle in no time!

7. Rent out your parking spot

If you live in a busy area and have a spot that’s in high demand, you can easily rent out the space for a premium price.

This can be especially profitable if you live near an event center and can offer parking to visitors who don’t want to pay a premium to park in a lot or parking structure. You can put your parking spot to work with services like Just Park or Neighbor.com and earn up to $300 per month.

Renting out your parking spot offers a great way to make extra money while utilizing unused resources or space.

8. Proofread documents

Whether you are a stay-at-home parent, a teacher looking for extra income during summer vacation, or someone with a passion for grammar and punctuation, you can make up to $65,000 a year by proofreading documents.

Make sure to take a Free Training Course: Caitlin Pyle offers a free workshop on how to use the most popular proofreading tool and how to become a work-from-home proofreader.

With some hard work and dedication, you can start earning quick money as a proofreader. Good luck!

9. Walk dogs

Walking dogs can be a great way to make some quick money.

Apps like Rover provide pet owners with a platform to find dog walkers in their area and pay for their services.

A dog walker can make $15-18 per 30 minute walk, with occasional bonuses for boarding or pet-sitting. This is a simple way to get your exercise and make cash.

10. Take an online survey

Companies and websites are always looking for consumer feedback in order to improve their products and services, and offer incentives such as cash, rewards, and gift cards for filling out surveys that can take as little as a few minutes.

Popular survey sites like Survey Junkie and Swagbucks offer these incentives, enabling individuals to make a few quid in just a few minutes of form filling.

Most surveys will only take a few minutes, so you will have to do a bunch to add up to serious cash for your feedback.

Here are the top legit survey platforms:

11. Sell your old junk

Are you looking for an easy way to make some extra money? Why not start by looking around your house and attic/basement for things you no longer use?

You can turn those things into cash by selling them online or having a yard sale.

With a little effort, you can easily make hundreds of dollars by selling your old stuff. It’s a great way to declutter your home and make some extra cash in the process.

Make sure to list your items with attractive descriptions and photos to draw in potential buyers.

12. House sitting

House sitting is a great way to make quick money. It allows you to watch someone’s home while they are away and take care of tasks such as feeding pets, watering plants, and taking out the trash.

You can usually make between $25 to $50 per day depending on the market demand in your area. It’s easy to start, with most sites having a minimum age requirement and a sign-up process that takes only minutes. Payment is typically made when the job is completed.

More importantly, beyond making good money, you are able to housesit in beautiful locations that you may not be able to do otherwise. Personally, this is something I want to start doing.

Build your profile on Trusted Housesitters now.

13. Babysit

Babysitting is a great way to make extra money, especially for those who are looking for flexible jobs that match their availability.

Whether you’re an experienced babysitter or a novice looking to give it a try, there’s no doubt that you’ll find plenty of opportunities available. With a little bit of effort and a lot of dedication, you can make a great living out of babysitting.

Most babysitters earn way more than minimum wage making this a great gig.

14. Deliver food orders

Delivering food orders can make you money quickly by taking advantage of the increasing trend in the popularity of food delivery apps.

With driver-friendly apps like Instacart, DoorDash, and Uber Eats, all you need is an insured vehicle and a smartphone to start delivering food to customers in need.

The pay per delivery can go even further if you work on busier nights like Friday or Saturday. With many apps, you can also choose your own hours and the flexibility to work as much or as little as you’d like. This can be a great way to make some fast cash on the side.

15. Earn money with eBay

eBay is an amazing platform for anyone looking to make some extra money by selling items they don’t use. Whether you’re looking to get rid of an old phone, clothes, or books, eBay is an easy and accessible way to do so.

  • You can start by selling items you don’t need or don’t use anymore.
  • You can also consider buying items at a low price with the intention of selling them at a higher price.

If you’re looking to make a full-time income from home, selling items on eBay could be a perfect way. You can start small by buying a thrifty item for a low price and selling it at a much higher price.

With the right knowledge and resources, you can make money on eBay easily. So get started today and watch your earnings grow!

16. Write articles for websites

Writing articles for websites can be a great way to make quick money in one day.

With the increasing amount of new content created daily, business owners often don’t have the time to create content for their websites themselves.

Freelance writers can fill this gap by providing quality content for clients in exchange for payment. Depending on the complexity and length of the article, writers can make anywhere from $25 to $500+ in a single day.

By specializing in a niche, writers can showcase their work as samples to potential clients. Furthermore, writers can establish relationships with other bloggers in their niche, guest blogging, and approach websites in their niche with their writing services to further increase their chances of finding work.

17. Become a pet sitter

Personally, I have a friend who makes money by being a pet sitter and has help from her kids.

With Rover, pet owners in your area can easily find and hire pet sitters for their pets. Dog sitting is the most popular pet sitting activity, and it can earn you around $20-35 for overnight stays.

Plus, you get to decide when and how you want to work, and you can fit it around your own schedule. With the right amount of communication and excellent service, pet owners may even offer you recurring gigs.

18. Participate in focus groups

Participating in a focus group can be a great way to make quick money in one day.

Focus groups are usually based on interesting products or services, and they can pay participants anywhere from $50 to $400 for their time. Not only is it a great way to make money quickly, I have found many focus groups can also be a lot of fun.

The hardest part with focus groups is it is not a steady stream of income as you may not qualify for each opportunity.

19. Do yard work

Just like housecleaning, this is a popular job to be hired out.

Yard work such as basic gardening and landscaping, shoveling snow or salting walkways, and even cleaning gutters can all be done for a fee. Advertising your services through flyers, door knocking, or posting on local job boards can help you find potential customers.

By doing quality work, you can turn this into a weekly gig for quick money.

20. Shop at thrift stores and buy low and sell high

You buy items for a fraction of the cost and resell them for a higher price. For example, you can find brand-name clothing, electronics, antiques, and children’s toys at thrift stores that you can resell on online platforms such as eBay, and Facebook Marketplace.

You can also look for items marked as “free” on the side of the road and spruce them up to sell for a profit.

Shopping at thrift stores can help you make quick money in one day, and with time and experience, you’ll discover which items sell the fastest and for the most money.

To make money flipping items, you must do your research upfront and know how much you can pay for something while still turning a profit. With time and experience, you will learn which items sell the fastest and for the most money.

21. Photography gigs

You can make money with photography in two ways:

  1. Turn your photographs into cash by selling them through stock image websites such as Shutterstock or iStock.

It is possible to make money quickly if you have a social media following or a website, as you can start promoting all sorts of companies, products, services and offers online.

37. Work for tips

Joining a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) company is one of the most popular ways to make money these days. With an MLM, you can potentially make a lot of money by building a team and earning commissions from their sales.

But you need to be careful and do your research to make sure it’s an opportunity worth pursuing.

MLMs can be profitable, but it can take a lot of time and effort to get them off the ground and make them successful. You need to be prepared to take the time to build your team, train and support them, and provide them with the resources they need to succeed.

Personally, I have tried making money with an MLM and found out that it was not worth the time or effort.

40. Collect and sell scrap metal

Collecting metal items such as old swing set parts, metal toys, and other bits of metal can be sold at scrap yards or redemption centers for a small sum of money.

Iron, steel, aluminum, brass, and copper are the most commonly traded types of scrap metal, and the prices vary depending on the type and amount of metal.

This is a simple way to make money if you put in the resources. Just don’t steal metal because that can get you in severe trouble.

This industry is booming with no signs of slowing down. You can easily make $100 a shift by delivering food!

  2. Make sure you have an insured car, truck, bike, scooter, or motorcycle. Depending on what you choose to use, certain apps may have different requirements.
  3. Go to the restaurant and pick up the order. You’ll be paid a flat delivery fee, an additional fee per item ordered, and 100% of the tips customers choose to give you.
  4. Deliver the food to the customer.
  5. Get paid instantly, usually within the same day.

Maximize your earnings by delivering for multiple apps at once. This will give you access to more orders, and a larger area to deliver in.

42. Become A Virtual Assistant

Virtual assistants are in demand right now.

Consider becoming a virtual assistant with no experience to help small businesses with tasks like scheduling appointments and managing emails.

Typically, small businesses are looking for someone to take a short-term 3-month stint or a long-term relationship.

If you have marketable skills, you will make an outstanding virtual assistant.

43. Cook and deliver food

Cooking and delivering food can make you money in one day, especially since the demand for convenient delivery is increasing.

If you are cooking food on your own, you need to check with your local state and city regulations to see if you are allowed to sell food from a home kitchen. These food regulations are tough, so make sure you comply with these regulations.

However, many busy families are looking for a personal chef and are willing to pay for the service.

44. Trade-In Programs

Trade-in programs are a way for people to get quick money by selling their old phones, tablets, and other electronics. These programs give customers the opportunity to receive cash or gift cards in exchange for their unwanted devices.

You can trade in your own unused or unwanted electronics or for neighbors who don’t want to deal with the hassle themselves.

When selling through a trade-in program, customers are usually asked to provide a description of the device and its condition. The amount of money received depends on the device and its condition.

Plus you are helping the environment by keeping old devices out of landfills.

45. Become a social media influencer

If you have a large following on social media, you can make money by becoming a social media influencer and promoting products or services.

There are a number of ways to make quick money as an influencer. You can promote products or services by posting about them on your social media account.

Obviously, you must thrive using social media.

You should also figure out which items sell the quickest and for the most money.

Poshmark also has a “bundling” function which allows you to group similar items together for a discounted amount. This is a great way to make more money as you can sell multiple items in one go.

This platform allows followers, so it is easy to build return buyers.

One thing my wife and I have been doing lately is to try spending less on entertainment and “fun money” than we have in the past.  We know if we want to get ahead we need to cut down on those miscellaneous entertainment dollars.

Cutting down on those dollars doesn’t mean we can’t have any fun, however. Here’s a few ways that we’re having fun, on a budget.

Game Night

We’ve started having game nights, both with each other, and with our friends. It makes for a fun night, and once you purchase some games, doesn’t cost anything additional! Here are a few of our favorite games that we’ve been playing lately. Most of these games can be bought for between $20-30 on Amazon, or slightly cheaper used on ebay or craigslist.

Settlers of Catan: Settlers of Catan was one of those games I wasn’t sure that I was going to enjoy. It seemed a little strange, something that only people who enjoy role playing games would enjoy. Boy was I wrong! This game is so much fun that I bought an arcade version for our Xbox as well! Plus, there are a ton of expansion packs that can keep this game fresh for years to come. From Amazon: The Settlers of Catan from Mayfair Games is an award-winning strategy game where players collect resources and use them to build roads, settlements and cities on their way to victory. The board itself is variable, making each game a little different from the next. Each round of The Settlers of Catan is intended to keep three or four players ages 10 and above engaged for up to 90 minutes.


Carcassonne: Carcassonne is another European style board game that has refreshingly different and never dull game play. From Amazon: The Carcassonne is a clever tile-laying game. The southern French city of Carcassonne is famous for its unique roman and medieval fortifications. The players develop the area around Carcassonne and deploy their followers on the roads, in the cities, in the cloisters, and in the fields. The skill of the players to develop the area will determine who is victorious. The game is for ages 8 and up and 2 to 5 players.

Blokus: We just bought Blokus over Christmas using gift cards we had received.  You can think of the game as a sort of the board game equivalent of Tetris.  You have 4 teams all trying to fit their differently shaped blocks into the board.  Whoever fits the most of their pieces into the board wins!  There’s a lot of strategy involved, and its surprisingly fun to play!  From Amazon: Fun for both kids and adults, Blokus is a strategy board game that challenges spatial thinking. Bright colors and simple rules make it ideal for ages five and up, but adults will certainly be engrossed by this unique and challenging game.

Ticket To Ride: Ticket to ride is another board game that really is quite a bit different from a lot of the board games we have become used to here in the U.S.  I’ve played this on the Xbox 360 as well, and it’s a lot of fun! From Amazon: Ticket to Ride is a cross-country train adventure where players collect cards of various types of train cars that enable them to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America.

Farkle: Farkel is a fun game for parties where you pass around a cup of dice, trying to score on different combinations of dice. It’s a fun, and sometimes frustrating game! From Amazon: Farkel is a fun, fast-paced, high-score game that takes just two minutes to learn. You roll six dice, remove only the dice you want to use for points, then re-roll the remaining dice. Some scoring dice must be removed after every roll. If you can eventually make all six dice count for score, pick them all up and keep going. If none of the dice you roll count for score, you lose your turn and any points you made during that turn. The first player to score more than 10,000 points, wins.

The Great Dalmuti: The Great Dalmuti is a fun fast paced card game where the whole goal is to become a part of the Dalmuti ruling class.  The game is easy to learn, and can quickly turn into an all night game.  From Amazon: The deck is dealt out to all players and the object is to get rid of your cards as fast as possible.  The person who first got rid of all his cards becomes The Great Dalmuti. Seat positions change and the cards are re-dealt. Quite a unique game in which no score is kept.

Movie Night

Have a movie night at home, instead of going out and spending $20+ on a first run movie!  Here are a few ways to make it cheap.

Rent a Redbox Movie: Head to your local McDonald’s, grocery store or gas station and rent a new release movie for $1! If you want to make it even cheaper, check out my article on getting free redbox rentals.

Netflix DVDs and Streaming: If you’ve got a Netflix.com account, plan ahead, and pick one of their movies to  be sent for movie night.  You’re paying for the account, you may as well use it, right?

Even better, if you have a Netflix account and an Xbox 360 you can now stream selected movies to your console, some even in high definition!  No waiting! The selection isn’t the greatest yet, but it is expanding every day.  Sign up for a free 2 week trial at Netflix here!

“Rent” a Movie from the Library:  Want to make it especially cheap tonight?  Stop by the library on the way home and get one of their movies for free!  You can usually keep it longer than a regular rental, and the price can’t be beat! Selection may vary depending upon your location.

What Are Your Cheap Entertainment Ideas?

So there are a couple of ideas for ways to have some fun, on a budget.  We’ve been doing it quite a bit lately, and we’re saving a lot of money!

What are some ideas that you’ve come up with for your family to have fun without spending a lot of dough?  Leave a comment and share your idea here!

In sad sad news for discount shoppers, Tuesday Morning, the Dallas-based home and lifestyle goods chain, is closing its stores nationwide, after it previously filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February 2023.

The chain is hosting a going-out-of-business sale at all stores in 25 states across the U.S. Shoppers can save up to 30 percent off the lowest ticketed prices across the stores on a wide variety of home decor.

Tuesday Morning was one of the original off-price retailers specializing in name-brand, high-quality products for the home, including textiles, home furnishings, housewares, gourmet food, toys, and seasonal décor, at prices below those found in department stores, catalogs, or on-line retailers. They opened their first store in 1974.

The sale will include discounted home décor for every room like bedding, bath, furniture, lamps, and kitchen; plus toys, pet supplies, luggage, beauty, crafts, seasonal decorations, and more.

Shoppers are advised to take advantage of the new price reductions and bid farewell to this iconic retailer.

Select fixtures, furnishings, and equipment will also be available for sale.

Gift cards will be honored through May 13. All sales are final.

Merchandise purchased prior to April 28, 2023, may be returned within 14 days of the purchase date with the original receipt and in accordance with usual policies.

Update 12/12/22: You should see a manual adjustment for the missing More Rewards points. It’ll show as a separate line-item sometime at the end of November. For me it happened on November 25th, others are seeing November 28th.

Update 11/21/22: I was told by BofA Twitter support that everyone will be getting credited within 12 weeks for transactions that were processed on the 5th and are showing a later date. I’m just holding tight and hope it comes through automatically.

Transaction dates are provided to the bank by the merchant; however, this date may differ from when the merchant authorized a charge. As a courtesy, in addition to all charges with a transaction date of Nov. 5 being awarded an incremental <2%, 2 miles or 2 points>, the bank will also award the bonus on purchases that were authorized on Nov. 5 but have a transaction date later than Nov. 5. It may take up to 12 weeks for qualified courtesy adjustments to be applied.

I asked them whether they need my personal info to identify my account and issue the credit. They replied:

This will happen automatically. If after 12 weeks, you do not see the adjustment, please reach out so we can research your account farther. 

Update 11/8/22: Bonus points are reflecting for most purchase. However, BofA apparently messed up for transactions posted near midnight and are not crediting bonus rewards, even for those transactions that clearly reflected as charged in the BofA system before midnight. For me, a transaction a little after 11pm got the bonus, but two transactions in the final 15 minutes of the day did not get rewards, despite both showing the pending transaction already before midnight. Others report that some transactions from earlier in the day are having this issue as well. I’ve reached out to BofA twitter support, we’ll see how those goes.

Update 11/5/22: Ends at 11:59pm Eastern Time (ET) on November 5, 2022


Update 11/4/22: This promo goes live tomorrow. Worth putting some thought into where you can pay out to maximize this deal. You might also want to pay down your BofA cards now to clear up the credit limits.

Some tips:

Chase announced today a ‘Month of More’ with the month of May having increased redemption rates and higher portal rates:

  1. Redeem Ultimate Rewards points for Apple products at increased rates. This includes  1.5 cents rate on the Sapphire Reserve, 1.25 cents on the Sapphire Preferred and INK Preferred, and 1.1 cents on the Freedom and other no-annual-fee cards. Now that PYB 1.5 cents is dead, this might be more interesting to some people.
  2. Redeem Ultimate Rewards points for select gift cards at a 10-15% discount. The most interesting one here is Home Depot at a 10% discount. There are a few other brands like Chipotle, Gap, Applebee’s, and a few others as well.
  3. Increased shopping portal rates on select brands like 5% at Walmart/Sam’s, 10% at Nike and Lowe’s, and a few more. I typically just compare on cashbackmonitor before making a purchase.

Lots of rewards credit cards pick a lane and stick with it. They offer bonus cash back or points on purchases at restaurants, or vehicle fueling stations, or travel vendors — but not all three.

The Wells Fargo Autograph Card is a little different, in a good way. It pays bonus rewards points on restaurant, fuel, and travel purchases, plus purchases in three more popular spending categories. Which makes it one of the better credit cards for everyday spending. 

Like every credit card, the Autograph Card has some downsides and isn’t appropriate for everyone. So before you rush to apply, review its most important features and make sure it really does work for you. 

What Is the Wells Fargo Autograph Card?

The Wells Fargo Autograph Card is a rewards credit card that earns 3 points per $1 spent on purchases in six spending categories: 

  • Restaurants
  • Travel
  • Gas and EV charging
  • Transit (including ride-hailing services like Uber)
  • Popular streaming services
  • Phone plans

The Autograph Card has no annual fee or foreign transaction fee. It has two enticing features for new cardholders as well: a generous spend-based sign-up bonus and 0% intro purchase APR for 12 months from account opening.

What Sets the Wells Fargo Autograph Card Apart?

While it’s a stretch to call the Autograph Card unique, it does have a few notable selling points:

  • Lots of 3x rewards categories. The Autograph Card has six 3x rewards categories. Most are quite broad: travel, transit, and restaurants, for example. And the narrower ones, like popular streaming services and phone plans, are still quite popular.
  • Impressive lineup of value-added benefits. For a no-annual-fee credit card, the Autograph Card has an impressive lineup of value-added benefits. Notables include complimentary cell phone protection and premium perks at properties in the Visa Signature Luxury Hotel Collection, which is usually reserved for cards with annual fees.
  • Easily attainable sign-up bonus. The Autograph Card’s sign-up bonus isn’t worth a fortune, but it’s easy for even moderate spenders to attain.

Key Features of the Wells Fargo Autograph Card

The Wells Fargo Autograph Card is a well-rounded rewards credit card with an above-average sign-up bonus, a generous rewards program, and no annual fee.

Sign-up Bonus

Earn 20,000 bonus points (worth $200 when redeemed for cash) when you spend $1,000 in purchases in the first three months.

Earning Rewards

The Autograph Card earns unlimited 3 points per $1 spent on purchases in six spending categories:

  • Restaurants, including dining in, takeout, delivery, and catering
  • Travel, including airfare, hotel bookings, car rentals, and cruises
  • Gas and EV charging, including nonfuel purchases at stations
  • Local transportation (transit), including public transportation, ride-hailing, parking, and road tolls
  • Popular streaming services, including video and audio streaming
  • Phone plans, including cell and landline services

All other eligible purchases earn unlimited 1 point per $1 spent. There’s no limit to how much you can earn and rewards don’t expire as long as your account remains open.

Redeeming Rewards

The best way to redeem is for statement credits against prior eligible purchases. The minimum redemption for this method is $1.

You can also redeem for gift cards from dozens of major vendors, starting at $25. However, you must redeem in $25 increments, so this isn’t the most efficient option.

Finally, you can redeem for travel purchased through Wells Fargo, including flights, car rentals, and hotel stays. If you don’t have enough rewards to cover the full cost of your booking, you can combine points and cash.

0% APR Introductory Promotion

Purchases made during the first 12 months accrue no interest (0% APR). After that, variable regular APR applies — currently 19.74%, 24.74%, or 29.74%, depending on prevailing rates and your creditworthiness.

There’s no corresponding balance transfer promotion. Balance transfers accrue interest at the regular APR from day one.

Additional Benefits

The Autograph Card has an impressive lineup of additional benefits. Highlights include:

  • Cell phone protection. This benefit is worth up to $600 per claim, less a $25 deductible, when you pay your cell phone bill in full with your Autograph Card. Earning 3x rewards on phone plan payments should incentivize you to do just that.
  • Free FICO scores and tracking. Wells Fargo’s Credit Close-up feature provides monthly FICO score updates with personalized insights. It’s a functional alternative to a paid credit monitoring service.
  • Luxury Hotel Collection benefits. When you stay at any of the hundreds of Luxury Hotel Collection properties worldwide, you’re entitled to complimentary benefits like free or discounted meals, resort fee credits, equipment rentals, and more. Benefits vary by property and you do still need to pay for your room, but you could save several hundred dollars total on a multiday stay. 

Important Fees

The Autograph Card has no annual fee or foreign transaction fee. Balance transfers cost the greater of $5 or 3% of the transfer amount for 120 days from account opening, then jump to 5% of the transfer amount.

Credit Required

The Autograph Card requires good to excellent credit. If your credit score is below 700, you may have trouble getting approved.

Advantages

The Autograph Card’s biggest advantages revolve around its expansive rewards program, to include its sign-up bonus. There’s more to like about this card too.

  • Earn $200 as a sign-up bonus. The Autograph Card has an above-average sign-up bonus with a very manageable spend requirement over three months. Most new cardholders will have no trouble earning it.
  • 12 months at 0% APR on purchases. The Autograph Card has a 0% intro APR on purchases for a full year from account opening. While not as long as some competing cards, this is long enough to avoid interest on purchases much larger than you can afford to pay off all at once.
  • Six 3x rewards categories, most of which are broad. The Autograph Card’s broad 3x rewards categories set it apart from most other no-annual-fee rewards cards. Restaurants, travel, local transportation, streaming, phone plans — you get it all with this card.
  • No annual fee. The Autograph Card has no annual fee. This is a big advantage if you don’t plan to use it as your primary credit card.
  • No foreign transaction fee. The Autograph Card charges no fees for international transactions. This is a benefit both for folks who regularly travel abroad and those who buy stuff from international merchants.
  • Lots of additional benefits, like cell phone protection. The Autograph Card has a broad lineup of value-added benefits that come at no direct cost to cardholders. Some competing no-annual-fee cards lack complimentary cell phone protection, for example, and few offer Luxury Hotel Collection benefits.

Disadvantages

The Autograph Card has few notable downsides, but a couple bear mention. In particular, you’ll want to make sure the rewards program aligns with your spending habits.

  • Low baseline rewards rate. The Autograph’s baseline rewards rate is just 1 point per $1 spent — a 1% return on spending. Plenty of no-annual-fee rewards cards do better than that, offering 1.5% or even 2% back on base spending.
  • Some important categories missing from the 3x tier. The Autograph Card has six 3x rewards categories, most of them broad. But this tier is missing some important ones, notably groceries.
  • No 0% APR intro offer on balance transfers. The Autograph Card’s intro purchase APR isn’t matched by a corresponding balance transfer offer. That’s a shame because many competing rewards credit cards package both together.

How the Wells Fargo Autograph Card Stacks Up

The Autograph Card is just one of several rewards credit cards that earn above-average returns on restaurant, travel, and local transportation purchases. 

One of its best-known competitors is the Blue Cash Preferred Card from American Express, which earns 3% cash-back on eligible U.S. gas station purchases. Before you apply for either, see how they compare.

Wells Fargo Autograph Amex Blue Cash Preferred
Local Transportation Rewards 3x rewards on gas and EV charging purchases, 3x rewards on local transit purchases 3% cash back on U.S. gas station purchases, 3% back on local transit purchases
Other Bonus Categories 3x rewards on restaurant, travel, popular streaming, and phone plan purchases 6% cash back on up to $6,000 in U.S. supermarket purchases each year (1% thereafter), 6% cash back on select U.S. streaming subscriptions
Welcome Offer Yes Yes (terms apply)
Credit Required Good – Excellent Excellent
Annual Fee $0 $0 in the first year, then $95

Final Word

The Wells Fargo Autograph Card has an unusually generous rewards program, an above-average sign-up bonus, and a strong (if not category-leading) 0% intro APR offer on purchases — all with no annual fee. 

In other words, the Autograph Card has a lot going for it. But has a few flaws too. Notably, its baseline rewards rate is low (just 1%) and it has no introductory balance transfer offer, which is a big selling point for some competing cards.

You’ll have to decide whether Autograph’s negatives outweigh its positives. For more would-be cardholders, the answer is “no,” but you’re the only one who can say for sure.
