NEW! Swagbucks is not only online purchases they also offer cashback on in-store shopping.
Swag Bucks is a free rewards program that lets you get merchandise, gift cards, and miles for searching online, referring friends, and other online tasks such as surveys.
To start out you’ll get 1,000 Free SwagBucks just for joining SwagBucks online rewards program. You can also earn Swag Bucks for recycling old electronics, shopping online, commenting on their blog, interacting on their Facebook page, submitting poll ideas, and inviting your friends to join. The “Bucks” can then be redeemed for gift cards, electronics, merchandise, airline miles, MP3s, and a wide range of other prizes.
Here’s how to get the Biggest Sign-Up Bonus Ever of 1,000 SB Bonus or $10 Gift Card:
Member must “Activate” the Bonus in the Swag Ups section of your account. Bonus value is earned in the form of points, called SB. Get a 1000 SB bonus, which is equivalent to $10 in value, when you spend at least $25 at a store featured in Swagbucks.com/Shop.
Make sure to complete within 30 days of registration.
If you like to get points for in-store purchases then they now offer an offline alternative. Swagbucks is now offering SB Local for stores such as Sam’s Club, Forever 21 and Cost Plus World Market. To sign up for local just click on your account info on the right and connect one of your credit cards. Here’s an example of some of the cash back:
Sam’s Club: over 600 locations offering 2 SB per dollar
Forever 21:over 500 locations offering 5 SB per dollar
Cost Plus: over 100 locations offering 2 SB per dollar
One thing we do lots of is searching Google and you can actually earn Swag Bucks for doing just that using their Swag Bucks search engine. This will randomly provide you with free Swag Bucks during your search activities. It does come with some issues you may not have in your regular search results but it’s rather easy to just open up another tab and use another engine if there is a problem. Do not plan on using their search if you want to really search deep for something. On average you may earn 15 Swag Bucks over a 5-day work week by doing searches online but I would put more time into the friend referral.
You can also earn Swag Bucks for recycling your old Apple iPods or cell phones. Simply look up your cell phone or iPod model through your online Swag Bucks account, and print out the prepaid shipping label and trade-in receipt to receive your credit. Of course, the amount of Swag Bucks you’ll earn depends on the make and model of your Android / iPhone or Apple iPod.
They offer a shopping portal where you can earn Swag Bucks for clicking on links and making purchases in their online shopping network. You then get access to online promotions and special savings through the Swag Bucks discount shopping network like you would with Ebates.
My favorite moneymaker is referring new Swag Bucks members and there is no limit to the amount of new members you can refer at this point. So you can tell all your friends and family. For each person you’ll receive up to 1,000 matching Swag Bucks for any Swag Bucks that your referrals win while searching within 48 hours after you invite them.
You also get a percentage of the Swag Bucks they make at 1 Swag Buck for each 1 Swag Buck your referrals earn, with a maximum of 1,000 Swag Bucks for each new member you invite.
Easter, Christmas, Graduation, Birthday and Halloween Cash Back Because it’s Halloween Costume shopping season you can get 8% back at halloween niche stores such as Halloween Express and 5% back at Costume Discounters. All you do is log-into Swagbucks and click on the links for these stores under the shop tab.
Free Gillette Razors + $15 Moneymaker with Swagbucks One great promotion going on now is with Gillette razors. You can get Free Gillette Razors plus earn $15. You get 2,000 Swagbucks when you buy a Gillette razor (handle + five Cartridges) for $10. The Mach3 razor is $13 with a $3 discount bringing it down to $10 + sales tax. You’ll get 2,000 Swagbucks for the purchase, worth at least $20.
One example of redeeming Swag Bucks is an Amazon.com $5 gift certificate for 450 Swag Bucks. You can exchange Swag Bucks for airline miles from American Airlines, Delta, U.S. Airways, and other airlines. This would be great for topping off accounts that need extra miles to book a trip or where the miles are about to expire and to keep airline frequent flyer programs current.
Keep in mind you have a limit of 5 orders per prize each calendar month and be aware of time limits of redemption.
Our entire culture has changed In the era of social distancing. Food delivery and Amazon with everything and anything (even alcoholic drinks) being delivered to the door has taken off like internet banking in the early 2000s.
If you are looking for an idea for a gift to give to your loved ones or to a friend, food is always the fastest way to the heart. Food is central in the lives of many of us, a source of great little joys and often a remedy for anxiety and harassment.
You are probably one of the 19 million Doordash users by now and you already enjoy ordering your favorite food and getting it delivered to your doorstep by a Dasher. You may wonder if you can order for someone else and how it is possible without sending to the wrong address and making sure they know you sent it for them and not wondering about the random order arriving at their door.
DoorDash Gifting Guide
In times like these home cooking is not possible, whether it’s a family member, a best friend, a sick friend or a coworker, the good news is that you can send a meal or a gift using Doordash even if the person is in another state. The delivery app allows you to send holiday gifts (in a gift box) right to their door, or you can have your order ready and waiting at the nearby shop with the pickup option.
In this guide you will learn everything you have to know about DoorDash food gift delivery feature.
How To Ship Food to someone else
To make our guide complete, we want to start by giving you all the information and options you can choose to mail food.
First of all, shipping alcohol domestically or internationally is really complicated due to shipping and delivery laws which dictate how alcohol can be moved across the country. If you want to send alcohol, we suggest you consult our guide to the best alcohol delivery services .
Instead, shipping food is really easy.
Long distance food delivery services like UPS allows you to send food in the mail.
Here is a list of food you can mail:
Fruit
Baked goods
Meat
Shipping perishable foods, prepared meals and even shipping frozen food can be done using delivery services.
However, it requires respecting a few basic rules to ensure that the food arrives safely while still being edible.
Whatever the nature of the food you wish to ship, it is essential to provide packaging suitable for the transport of food products such as:
Bubble wrap
Ice packs
Plastic wraps

Are There Shipping Costs Or Delivery Fees On Gift Delivery Orders Whether you want to order a meal delivery to a sick friend, send meals to a friend or a gourmet gift basket for your mom, you will order from local restaurants and shops. This means that you will pay the normal DoorDash fees and service fees. So no.

How To Send Food To Someone With DoorDash (4 Steps)
If you want to find out how to get something delivered secretly, you should know that you can send an anonymous gift from DoorDash. In this case the only information that appears on the label is the recipient’s name and address.
The recipient will not know the identity of the mystery gift-sender.
If you want them to be aware that you sent the gift, you must include a gift sender.
If you prefer, once you place your order, you can send and share the gift tracking link with the recipient.
If you already know how to order on Doordash this should be quite similar.
Basically, to send a meal as a gift with Doordash you only need:
The gift recipient’s name (the name of the person who receive the gift)
The recipient’s phone number: Providing the recipient phone number is really important because in case the Dasher has trouble delivering the gift, they can contact the recipient.
The correct address of the recipient
A DoorDash account

Frequently Asked Questions
How To Send Food To Someone In Another State
If you like to cook, to ship cooked food to another state you can use a shipping carrier. Most of them offer a full range of express services including same day, overnight, and next day shipping. Keep in mind that some food items have a limited shelf life. The latter will then recommend that you opt for the option of express delivery, dedicated transport to avoid any risk of damage.
Keep in mind that generally the express shipping rates are really high.
How To Change Address On Doordash You can edit, add, or delete addresses from the DoorDash app or website. However, if you already placed an order, the only way to change or update the address or other instructions, you have to contact the DoorDash support either by chat or phone.
Can I Share My DoorDash Account? Doordash doesn’t have a system of “Family account” like some ridesharing companies. Technically you can share your email address associated with your account and the DoorDash password with a friend or family member.
The list is growing long for us grocery shoppers who keep our receipts or take time to scan them and earn rewards. We have many apps available such as Ibotta and now we have another you can stack with it while you have your receipts out to scan. If you haven’t signed up for Ibotta then do so here and get a bonus.
The Fetch Rewards App is a free mobile app that gives you cash back for taking pictures of your grocery receipts. The main difference between Fetch Rewards and other receipt scanning apps is that it doesn’t matter where you buy your product. Ibotta requires you to buy a specific product at a specific store.
The Fetch Rewards app only requires you to buy a specific product. As long as your offer appears on a receipt at any grocery store, you’re going to earn cash back for it. You also get 25 points for ANY receipt from grocery stores.
What we like about this app compared to the other grocery shopping apps is that it recommends other brands you would have made more money on when you scan the receipt for the next time you go shopping. For example, I bought Starbucks coffee and it tells me I could’ve earned more points on Maxwell House. Although I still made points for scanning the receipt.
How To Earn Gift Cards Using Fetch Rewards
1. Sign Up For An Account
As with all point reward apps and websites, you can’t earn if you haven’t joined. Go to the app store on your smartphone and download the free Fetch Rewards app. Once downloaded enter your information, including my referral code QG4YH. When you enter the referral code, you will receive 2,000 points when you scan and complete your first receipt. That is enough points to bring you halfway to your first $3 gift card cash out–making it worthwhile.
Take Advantage Of Special Offers
Under the “Special Offers” tab within the Fetch Rewards app, you will find a current listing of offers that provide relatively high point values. For instance, when I wrote this you could earn 1500 points for buying any two namebrand hair care products. To get the full details of these special offers, simply touch the “offer” box and a new screen will appear that shares all the details of that offer.

2. Any Receipt Earns Points. Fetch now gives you points for every grocery receipt you update. You do earn more points though if your receipt contains brands from their list.
Bonus Points: Search Through The List Of Brands After Your Next Grocery Shopping Trip:
Currently, there are over 160 different brands available to earn rewards through in the Fetch Rewards app. These are primarily brands that sell grocery and personal product items. All are name brands such as Degree, Axe, Gatorade, Heinz, and Kraft.
3. Upload Your Receipt
Knowing that you have a qualifying item on your receipt, hit the “scan” tab at the bottom of the app and follow the instructions.
An example is one qualifying brand was a stick of Axe deodorant and it was for 750 points plus the receipt of 25 points.
The second time I used the app my only qualifying items was $2.99 box of Captain Crunch which earned a 1,000 receipt scan bonus plus 29 points for the cereal. Essentially this means I earned $1.02 for my few seconds worth of effort to scan and verify the receipt.
Those two trips plus the 2,000 points I earned for entering my friend’s referral code at sign up were more than enough to claim my first Amazon code.

4. Claim Your Reward
As you can see by my example, it is possible to earn your first cash out with Fetch Rewards in as little as two shopping trips.
Fetch Rewards makes claiming and redeeming your reward simple. In the app, press the “rewards” tab at the bottom of the screen. You can then pick out your reward either by “category” or by “points.” I find it easier to search by points. Simply press the 3K option to cash out 3,000 points for a $3 reward or the 5K option to cash out 5,000 points for a $5 reward and so on. Fetch Rewards offers cash out values all the way up to 50,000 points for a $50 reward.
There are dozens of different types of gift cards available including those for Amazon, Walmart, Itunes, Panera Bread, Dunkin’ Donuts, Whole Foods and more.
Once you pick a reward, a code will be sent to your email box with instructions of how to cash in your gift card. So far I have cashed out for Amazon gift card codes and the whole process from picking out my reward in the app, to receiving my email, to adding it to my Amazon account has taken under five minutes. I would assume the process would vary depending on what gift card you choose.
We found a hot offer today where you can get a Whole Foods gift card for $10 off on Staples online. You can also click on an Ebates Link before that to get an extra 5% back and use either a Chase Ink Business card or American Express Simply Cash for 5% more back. The total savings comes to almost $12 when done with all the discounts and cash back. If you do not want to hassle with clicking on an Ebates link first or own a Business credit card to save at Office Supply Stores then just head to Staples and save the $10 off! (more…)

I add it to my Gyft account and it works flawlessly at their registers because it comes up in Passbook after its added. I also love sending out birthday gift cards via Facebook and the Gyft app.
