Then, cash out through PayPal, Venmo, or a gift card. Download For: For example, to be notified when there’s an Apple iPad for sale, add the word iPad to a new deal alert. Then, add other criteria for a more specific alert, such as a deal with a rating above three on the Black Friday Deals list (vs. Cyber Monday or Hot Deals). You can also browse deals on Slickdeals. There are sections for Trending, Top Coupons, Grocery, Travel, and more. For more specific searches, go to the Categories section and select a category such as Popular Deals, Autos, Babies & Kids, Health & Beauty, Computers, or Occasions. In addition to all of this, Slickdeals offers coupons to several stores, and they have discussion forums where users can talk about new and exciting deals that they’ve found. You can even set up deal alerts for those forums. Download For: Sign up for an account, choose which store you’re buying from, and then complete the purchase like normal from the retailer. All the cashback details happen in the background, and then you’re notified when you earned money for shopping. Rakuten is also a good choice if you’re shopping for deals without a destination in mind. For example, if you find that you can book a hotel through Rakuten and get 10 percent back, but booking without Rakuten offers no deals, you can then decide to use the Rakuten app to get 10 percent back on your purchase. Rakuten also offers in-store cashback. You have to add your payment card information to the Rakuten app and then shop at stores to receive money after you pay. Make sure to run your debit card as a credit card, or you won’t receive any cash back. Rakuten is not notified when you make a debit card or PIN transaction.

You open RetailMeNot, search for deals at Best Buy, and find a 20% discount for mobile charging devices. You then tap the button to receive a discount code. The cashier scans the code, and you redeem your discount. If you’re shopping in a mall, use RetailMeNot to see a bird’s eye view of the stores in the mall plus all the discounts you can take advantage of while you’re there. RetailMeNot also has cashback offers that earn you money as you shop. First, open the deal through the RetailMeNot app and finish the purchase on the retailer’s website. After you’re done, RetailMeNot sends cash through PayPal. Download For: You also get cash back online when you use the Dosh app to access websites with cashback offers. Go to the Online section of the app to find websites that Dosh will pay you to purchase from, and then buy things as normal through the retailer’s site. Dosh also has a handy feature that lets you find hotels that offer the biggest cash payouts. Choose a location to see what hotels cost in that area, as well as how much cash you’ll get for each booking. You can withdraw your Dosh cash through your bank, Venmo, or PayPal account once you’ve collected $25.
