App Pays You Cash Back on Uber/Lyft Rides ($25 Bonus)

Freebird is an app that offers Uber and Lyft users the ability to earn rewards by visiting retailers, restaurants or bars. You get even more back when you link a card and visit restaurants and bars that are featured. If your like me the biggest reason you started using Uber in the first place was to get home from the bars after a drunken night out.

In addition to earning cash back for visiting participating restaurants, bars and retailers, you’ll also earn points from Freebird Rides when you go anywhere that Uber/Lyft takes you, like a friend’s house, work, airports or anywhere else. Keep in mind this is in addition and stackable with Uber Rewards that you already earn and credit card rewards from Uber rides.

Incentives Not To Drink & Drive

The best thing about Freebird Rides is keeping drunk drivers off the streets. The app will give you a $5 cash back bonus just for ordering an Uber ride home through the Freebird Rides App. This can help pay for a drink each night out.

One person commented “I live in OC and have used freebird exclusively for awhile now. The best part is you automatically get $5 for “getting a safe ride home”. Some places I frequent offer up to $8 to take an uber there (almost my first drink free!). I have about $200 in my freebirds account so far, saving for a rainy day. Clearly I go out too much, but the app is great so far.”

You can then transfer all of the cash back that you earn for visiting participating merchants to your checking account through your linked debit card, and the points that you earn for every Uber ride can be redeemed for cash back as well.

SPENT: A Free Expense Management APP That Pays Cash Back with New $10 Bonus!

SPENT is a free expense management service that pays you cash back on your purchases at participating brands and stores including Amazon, Uber, Staples and nearby stores. SPENT lets you register your credit and debit accounts in order to import your expenses and display them in real time, allowing you to automatically categorize and organize your transactions into folders however you want.

You can now get a $10 cash bonus when you download the SPENT Money App, register your new account, and make your first cash back purchase with SPENT. You can see the $10 bonus mentioned on the SPENT Money App page in both the App Store and Google Play.

3% Back on Gas Purchases including Costco, Exxon & Shell

The Spent app seems to be doing generous cash back offers but some of these are only for a limited time. One example, you can get 3% back at gas stations including Costco and other stations that normally do not offer any kind of incentives. The Shell 3% cash back especially sticks out for me because I’m already enrolled in their Fuel Rewards program and this is stackable with that to not only get discounted gas but earn cash back. The Exxon station offer is also an extra 3% cash back on top of the already generous new Exxon/Mobil rewards program.

The app was originally designed for freelancers and business owners to manage business and personal expenses easily. Just as Tinder popularized the idea of swiping left or right in its mobile dating app, SPENT uses swipes to categorize personal and business expenses: left for personal, right for business. Now the app seems to be going mainstream and taking the place of apps such as Personal Capital.

There are several apps that manage your expenses by connecting to your bank and credit accounts, pulling and organizing transaction data. Some may use Quickbooks, Quicken, Personal Capital, or even Billguard to track these transactions and feel a bit more secure than an app they haven’t heard of. You may also be wary of sharing account information or mostly use cash. We like this app because when you make a personal or business purchase at any one of over one million places, you qualify for cash back over and above what you earn with an existing credit card. This is without having to enter a receipt or do any labor if it’s done on your credit or debit card.
