Shopkicks - Review

If you're in the GPT (Get Paid To) or app earning scene, you should already know what Shopkicks is. If you do not and you're new to it because technology is not your thing, I'll give you a basic overview of the app. Shopkicks is an app where the company rewards you points for walking in/checking in certain stores, scanning certain barcodes of items on the app, watching videos on the app and sometimes even using a linked card (optional) to earn points per dollar you spend, if it is one of the stores that is eligible for "cashback" via points on shopkicks. (Yeah it isn't really cashback, but the points have some type of monetary value in the form of giftcards. I wish I could cashout in paypal but that would probably cost more because business transaction fees.) It is completely free to use and you are not obligated to buy anything to earn points on the app.

Oh yeah, if you weren't aware of the policy already or you are only allowed one account per phone number per person. Please do not try to take advantage of the app by making multiple accounts. You -WILL- get suspended/banned, I know someone who did once. Google voice virtual numbers will not work, how long do you think they've been around? They're just a year younger than Swagbucks.

Payment Proofs:

Note: I haven't been very active unless I remember to open my app or actually have time to kick it, but it is a lot more fun when you shopkick with a friend. I sorta regret that Starbucks redeem but not really since I really wanted to try their Midnight mocha. . .minus the mint. I love dark chocolate drinks. This is a nice app for building up your Amazon balance if you're trying to save up for something. I love how Amazon gcs just stack up. I'm saving up for a Switch.


Pros: Free to earn, scanning and walk-ins build up points fast, gift cards are always in stock, has been around for awhile so you know it's legitimate. It's like a scavenger hunt looking for the items to get points on scanning. Almost instant cashout, it takes a minute for your reward to process in your app.

Cons: You have to actually walk outside. (lol its not really a con for me, but I know there are people who detest going outside.) Store might not always have the item in stock to scan. (If the barcode is there though on the price tag where the item should be even if it is sold out, it might work, but not always) It's awkward asking for things behind alarmed glass cases if you just want to scan it and not buy. . .so I like to skip those but lose potential points on things behind alarmed glass cases in stores.  (thankfully there aren't many)
