It’s like clockwork. Every September, Apple drops its latest iPhone, Samsung unveils a new Galaxy… and suddenly your current phone seems totally outdated.
The only catch? These new phone models aren’t cheap.
But upgrading to a new phone doesn’t have to empty your bank account. Being strategic—and using KashKick—can save you money.
So whether you’re eyeing the latest release or just replacing your phone that can barely hold a charge, here are smart ways to save money on your next device.
1. Shop Providers
Most people head straight to their phone provider when it’s time for an upgrade. After all, it’s easy to just roll the cost of a new phone into your monthly bill. But that’s not always the cheapest route.
📞 The 411: Between new customer deals and KashBack from KashKick, switching providers could actually put money back in your pocket.
For example, KashKick has KashBack deals with AT&T, Verizon and more. These offers always change, but right now, you can earn up to $40.62 back from AT&T through KashKick. That’s money you can put toward a new phone case or next month’s bill.
2. Look Beyond Carriers
Phone carriers always tout the latest and greatest phone models, but again: They might not always have the best deals.
📞 The 411: Check prices (and sales) at big-box stores like Best Buy, Walmart and Target. They’ll occasionally offer gift cards, bundle discounts or trade-in bonuses on top of what you’d get elsewhere. Be sure to check KashKick for KashBack opportunities at these retailers, too!
3. Trade Your Old Phone
Don’t let your old phone collect dust in a bottom drawer. Both carriers and retailers have trade-in programs that give you credit toward your upgrade. Depending on the model and condition, you could shave hundreds off the cost of your new device.
📞 The 411: Get estimates from multiple trade-in programs before committing. Sometimes Apple and Samsung will offer more than your carrier—and vice versa. It’s worth the few extra minutes of research!
4. Set a Savings Goal
If you’re not in a rush for a new phone, set up an “upgrade fund.” Automating small transfers into a dedicated account makes it easy to save for your next phone.
📞 The 411: Supercharge your savings with a bonus. When you sign up with Chime through KashKick and make a qualifying first deposit, you can get a $250 bonus (subject to change).
Then, set up recurring deposits to stash money away for your purchase. Even $20 a week adds up quickly!
5. Earn Extra Money by Playing Games
Now that you’ve got a game plan, it’s time to boost your savings by playing games and taking surveys through KashKick.
📞 The 411: Once you earn $10 you can kash out directly via PayPal. And once you pocket your new phone? Go ahead and keep playing to put money toward your monthly phone bill!
The Takeaway
Getting a new phone doesn’t have to drain your savings—or increase your phone bill tenfold. In fact, it could land you some extra money back in your pocket, thanks to KashKick!
