I\u2019ll take a free cup of coffee any day!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shopkick, a shopping app based in Silicon Valley, has helped users earn over $85 million in gift cards just by doing average shopping stuff. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In this Shopkick review, we\u2019ll be discussing the pros, cons, and all the fine details of this app to find out if it\u2019s truly worth downloading. Be sure to read until the end to find out if Shopkick deserves a spot on your smartphone\u2019s homescreen.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let\u2019s get started…<\/span><\/p>\n Shopkick is a smartphone app that offers users the ability to earn points (or kicks as they call it) by scanning items, walking into certain stores, making purchases, visiting online partners, and more!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Founded in 2009, Shopkick has accumulated over <\/span>7.5 million users<\/b> on their app, making them one of the largest shopping rewards apps. It is currently available on the App Store and Google Play Store, but is limited geographically because of the companies partnered with the app.<\/span><\/p>\n Shopkick has a few ways to earn kicks, which can be redeemed for gift cards at popular stores. Here are the ways you can earn kicks:<\/span><\/p>\n You can earn kicks just by entering a store. That\u2019s right, you don\u2019t actually have to buy anything. Here\u2019s how you do it:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s that simple! Once you have everything enabled, all you\u2019re really doing is opening the app and walking inside.<\/span><\/p>\n When you\u2019re in a store, you can scan items without having to purchase them and still earn kicks. Here\u2019s how to scan barcodes:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Be sure to scan in good lighting while also double checking that you have the right store address and the right item as well.<\/span><\/p>\n Making purchases in stores is as easy as linking a Visa or MasterCard to your account and waiting 24 hours for verification. Now anytime you shop at a qualifying store, you\u2019ll automatically be rewarded for your purchase. The purchase only qualifies if it is a credit transaction, not debit.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shopkick <\/span>does not store any credit card information<\/b> in their personal data base. They work with Visa and MasterCard to manage the credit card on file, so it is 100% safe to link your card.<\/span><\/p>\n On top of using a card, you can also scan receipts to earn kicks. Here\u2019s how to scan receipts:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once you have the list, you can see which items are eligible to earn kicks and make purchases accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n Making an online purchase can also earn you kicks as long as you shop directly through the Shopkick app. Once you have that open, here\u2019s what you do:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is the great thing about the Shopkick app. You can literally earn points whether you\u2019re in-store, online, or just scanning things without spending a dime!<\/span><\/p>\n Shopkick also includes in-app videos, which you can watch for a certain amount of kicks. Although these videos are easy to watch, the amount of kicks you earn from them won\u2019t break the bank. They\u2019re really useful to add a few more points to your account for doing virtually nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n One kick is worth <\/span>$0.004<\/b>, meaning every <\/span>250 kicks will give you $1<\/b> in gift cards. Here\u2019s how you redeem the kicks for rewards:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are a lot of gift card options to choose from and you can choose to have your rewards sent as <\/span>Paypal cash<\/b>.
