Starting the new year off with savings

You guys know I love a good deal. I’ve long said that shopping is like a sport to me and scoring a major sale is my version of a touchdown.

There’s so many ways to shop now it can be hard to know you’re getting the best price. Sometimes major retailers run different sales in stores than they do online. And sometimes the price can vary greatly between big box stores and online only retailers like Amazon. And let’s not forget the importance of coupons and sale codes!

For game time dilemmas like this, when athletes call in other teammates for help, I call on my own secret weapon: ShopKick. This free app helps keep me from getting overwhelmed when I shop by consolidating my options, finding the best deals, and then rewarding me for shopping with Kicks that turn into gift cards to my favorite stores!

So how does it work? Check out this video:

Collecting Kicks is easy, fun, and quickly becomes addicting. There are four major ways to earn Kicks when shopping.

How to earn Kicks from ShopKick

1. Walk into stores

Walking in is the easiest way to earn kicks. Look for the walk-in icon next to select stores in the Stores tab. Make sure your Bluetooth and microphone access are turned on at the store entrance, and simply open the app to get your kicks.

2. Submit receipts for purchased items

Earn tons more kicks when you buy select items in-store. Select a store from the Stores tab and tap the receipt icon to see which items have kicks available. Purchase those items and submit a receipt to get your kicks.

3. Scan products

Scans are like an in-store treasure hunt. Select a store from the Stores tab and tap the barcode icon to see what scans are available. Find each item in-store and use the barcode scanner to earn kicks.

4. Link your credit card

Link your Visa and MasterCard and never miss out on kicks. Pay with your linked card at select stores and earn kicks while you shop.

Who doesn’t want to save money and earn rewards for shopping? Getting started is easy, just download the ShopKick app to start saving!

Everyone loves finding a great bargain and saving money. No I haven’t heard of the app shop kick. Won’t hurt to check it out. What do I have to lose.

I haven’t tried this but it seems really easy. I would definitely use the rewards for a Starbucks card. Duh!

I’ve never heard of this app before but it sounds like a really great thing! I wish we had Target shops in the UK – I visited one once in California and loved it! Wishing you all the best for 2017! 🙂

I have Shopkick, but don’t use it nearly as often as I should! I will get out of a store and be driving away when I finally remember it was a store I could get kicks at. Hopefully this post was the reminder I need to get back at it!!
