The 20 Minute Extra Cash Challenge Day 9 – Easy Tasks = Easy Cash

May 22nd, 2014 By Kaley
This post may contain affiliate links, which means I will make a small commission if you click and make a purchase.

Welcome to Day 9 of the 20 Minute Extra Cash Challenge!

We are currently working our way through the sites that will become a part of our Daily 20 Minute Extra Cash Checklist.

So far we’ve signed up for and learned easy ways to earn free stuff, gift cards and cash in the following ways:

Earn with your Search Engine

Earn with Emails

Earn with Free Codes

Earn with Apps

What’s New Today?

Today I want to introduce you to one more site that I recently discovered called Quick Rewards. Not only is it very easy to earn cash with Quick Rewards, but there is also no minimum required to cash out! Cash out at any time, as often as you’d like. Unlike most sites that require you to earn $10 or more to cash out, I was able to transfer just $0.50 into my PayPal account after a few days of earning. I love seeing my little savings tracker pop up a few cents – makes me feel like I really am adding money to my virtual change jar!

Don’t prefer PayPal? You can save up and cash out at as low as $5 for gift cards, including Amazon and eBay, Disney, CVS, Target, Walmart, Kohl’s and more. Oh – and my personal favorite – Dunkin Donuts!

Earn Fast with Easy Tasks:

At first, I found the Quick Rewards site layout a bit overwhelming. But I soon discovered that my favorite section is the “Daily Clicks” section on the left side of the site. This section offers payment for tasks as simple as clicking on a site or watching a quick video. You can even get paid for listening to radio online- which is nice since you can be doing other things while listening.

FYI: I tried one survey and I found it to be not worth my time, so I only recommend giving that a try if you have extra time on your hands.

Insider Tips:

I recommend going into your account and opting out of all emails after you sign up. If not, you will receive A LOT of emails. I prefer simply finding opportunities via the Quick Rewards site.
If you decide to cash out via PayPal, just a heads up that the password that is requested when you cash out is your Quick Rewards password – NOT your PayPal password. It took me several days to figure that out. 🙂
Some earning opportunities offer a certain number of Quick Points rather than a dollar amount. The value of 100 Quick Points is $0.01. Once you earn 100 Quick Points, the system will automatically convert it into cash for you.
As I’ve mentioned before, you won’t get rich with these offers, but by completing a few tasks each day during our 20 Minute Challenge, you’ll easily add a few dollars to your Extra Cash monthly earnings.

Click here to sign up for Quick Rewards.

The 20 Minute Extra Cash Challenge Day 8 – There’s an App for That!

20-Minute-Extra-Cash-Challenge Welcome to Day 8 of the 20 Minute Extra Cash Challenge!

What’s New Today?

With the evolution of the Smartphone, earning extra cash has gotten easier and easier. From just scanning receipts to scanning items in store, apps make it so simple to add a few extra dollars to your pocket each month. I’ve gathered a few of my very favorites to add to our list – if you haven’t already.

As you know, I don’t recommend spending money just to earn money. I think you’ll find that most of these apps offer cash back opportunities on items that you would buy anyway or sometimes even help you snag items for free. Be sure to subscribe by email to stay up to date on the best deals that I find for these apps!

What if I don’t own a Smartphone?

Great question. A couple of these apps also work on your desktop computer. The others work on a wi-fi enabled device like an iPod Touch. So even if you don’t own a Smartphone, you can still take advantage of many of these offers (minus the in-store check-ins) .

Sign up and download these Money-Saving apps and start earning extra cash in a snap:

Note: All are compatible with Apple and Android devices.

Ibotta: Sign up for Ibotta and download the app on your smartphone. Before you head to your participating store (click here to see the current list of participating retailers), check for offers on your favorite products and click REDEEM. After shopping, take a picture of your receipt, upload it within one week and earn cash, PayPal deposit, or Starbucks, Regal or iTunes gift cards.

Receipt Hog: Simply snap a photo of your qualifying grocery store receipt, and you’ll be rewarded coins. The more receipts you upload, the higher the level you’ll reach and the more coins you’ll earn per receipt. Receipt Hog is a market research company that collects data from your receipts (and any surveys they give you), so it doesn’t matter what items you purchase. Just snap your receipt, and you’re done! Currently you can redeem starting at 1000 coins for $5.00 via Paypal or Amazon gift card.

Checkout 51: This is similar to Ibotta in that you earn cash back for buying select groceries. But if you don’t have a Smartphone, you can just upload your receipts via your computer! Click here to learn more.

Jingit: Sign into your Jingit account daily to see if there are new ads. Some ads can be watched once per day and others can only be seen once. Be sure to download the mobile app if you have a Smartphone and complete check-ins for more earning opportunities. Redeem for eGift Cards or link your bank account to transfer your earnings.
