The holidays will be here before you know it. Between gifts, travel and hosting duties, expenses can add up fast. And with the high cost of, well, everything, it’s smart to start building a holiday fund sooner than later.
That’s where KashKick can help. The free rewards app and website offers a mix of ways to make and save money, from playing games to online shopping deals.
Here are seven ways to start stacking up extra kash for your holiday shopping now.
1. Start a Holiday Fund
Before you start saving, open a dedicated holiday fund so it’s easier to budget.
Even better? Get a head start when you open a Chime account through KashKick. When you set up direct deposit and receive your first deposit of $200 or more within 30 days, you’ll get a $200 bonus (amount subject to change).
An extra $200 can go a long way when it comes to holiday shopping!
🎁 Holiday hack: Automate your deposits so you don’t have to think about growing your savings. Saving $10 a week from Oct. 1 through the end of the year can net you $130!
2. Do This Before You Buy Anything
Stop! Before you click “place order,” check KashKick’s shopping offers. You can earn kash back on purchases you’re already planning to make. Offers can change, but some current examples include:
- Up to 2.6% back from Walmart
- Up to 1.95% back from Macy’s
- Up to 1.95% back from ULTA
🎁 Holiday hack: Install the KashKick Mobile Safari extension so you never miss coupons or kash back opportunities when shopping from your phone!
3. Play Games on Your Phone
Good news: Playing games on your phone is no longer a waste of time. When you play games through KashKick, you can earn rewards. As soon as you earn $10, you can kash out securely via PayPal.
Not sure what game to start with? Holiday burnout is real, so choose a game based on how you’re feeling.
🎁 Holiday hack: Refer your friends to KashKick, and you’ll get 25% of each reward they earn from playing games and completing deals. It’s icing on the fruitcake!
4. Share Your Opinions (Without Starting a Fight)
Sharing your opinions at the dinner table isn’t always a great idea, but if you need an outlet, hop on KashKick and take surveys.
KashKick lets you know how long each survey takes and how much you can earn, which makes it a perfect activity to sneak in between holiday errands or while sitting in the kids’ car line.
🎁 Holiday hack: Check in each day for new surveys. When you do, you’ll also automatically be entered into KashKick’s Daily Giveaway for a chance to win up to $100!
5. Book Your Holiday Travel Through KashKick
Flights, hotels and rental cars are already so expensive these days, and companies love to add a holiday premium.
Before you book, check KashKick’s shopping offers and deals. Right now, for example, you can get up to 1.3% back on Hotels.com and up to 1.62% kash back on Orbitz and Travelocity.
🎁 Holiday hack: Stack your rewards by using a travel rewards credit card at checkout. That way, you can earn both kash back and credit card bonuses.
6. Grab a Side Gig
If you’ve got some extra time, you can add to your holiday budget by picking up a gig through KashKick. You’ll earn extra kash and a KashKick bonus.
Right now, when you sign up as an Uber Eats Driver and complete your first delivery within 30 days, you can score a $25 bonus. DoorDash has a deal through KashKick, too: Complete your first delivery and earn $60.
🎁 Holiday hack: Food delivery services tend to see increased demand around the holidays and will sometimes add holiday boost promotions, so keep an eye out for additional earning opportunities!
7. Don’t Forget Giving Tuesday
Remember: The holidays aren’t just about buying; it’s also a time to give back. KashKick makes it easy to donate a portion of your earnings to the charities you care about.
When kashing out, select the “Kash Rewards” option. Once you decide how much you’d like to donate, you’ll receive an email with the catalog of charities. (Here are more details!)
🎁 Holiday hack: Giving Tuesday is a great day to donate since some organizations will match gifts, doubling or tripling donations—and your impact!
