The most successful marketing strategy for any product or service is to offer some kind of sale, freebie, or reward. It is a time tested weapon to increase flagging sales. We have all succumbed to the lure of a sale, reward or buy one get one free scheme. In the modern digital world, the format has changed a little. It gives you an opportunity to earn some discounts on everyday shopping. You are rewarded with some form of cashback or reward points. It has become interactive and engaging, and you collect the reward points through games, going through specific steps, and completing some tasks. It is an excellent strategy to retain customers and get return visits. Here we list the top 10 cashback android apps.

My Points

My Points is a rewards app that offers redeemable points at almost 2000 retailers. There is nearly 40 percent cash back on most of its offers. Stores like Target, Walmart, Amazon, Old Navy, eBay, and Home Depot offer MyPoints cashback points. Every time you shop at any of the listed retailers, you earn points that can be redeemed any time in the form of gift cards or credit them to your PayPal account. Other ways to earn points include playing games, opening emails, and watching videos. You can sign up for free, and sometimes they offer bonuses for signing up too.

Swagbucks

Swagbucks allows you to earn points and earn rewards through routine activities like watching online videos, taking short surveys, and earning a gift card. It is a good way to earn something extra while going about your daily tasks or are online and need a short entertainment break. Swagbucks is one of the best-known survey sites and offers some of the highest cashbacks. There is a signing up bonus. The site has many hidden benefits and deals. You can earn 40 to 200 Swagbucks on an average daily. Hundred Swagbucks are equivalent to 1 dollar, according to the company site. Swagbucks is available in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Canada, and Australia.

Ibotta

Ibotta for both iOS and Android. It is a kind of a couponing app. You just download the app and collect the rebates. There are a series of tasks to unlock discounts. With the reward points, you can buy the product you have unlocked on the site from a partner company. You need to scan the barcode and upload the receipt before the reward or rebate money is transferred into your Ibotta account. The developers of the app are responsive and seek feedback on the app and incorporate the user experience for easy navigation. According to IBotta, an average user can make upto $30 a month. The app is available in the U.S. and Peurto Rico only.

Shopkick

On Shopkick you can earn rewards for shopping at regular stores like Walmart, Target, CVS, and Marshalls. You need to scan the purchase and upload the receipt. The reward points are called kicks. You can earn a kick point by just scanning and checking into Shopkick partner stores. The advantage here is that you can earn rewards by shopping through your payment cards rather than a portal. The app’s CEO assures that all debit and credit card details remain with Visa or Mastercard, and the app does not store any details except check the transaction for reward points.

Paribus

Paribus operates slightly differently than the usual cashback and reward points. Paribus negotiates discounts for purchases made at an earlier date, which are put on sale later. Hence, you will earn a discount on items that see reduced prices. You need to scan and send the receipt of the purchase to find out if you are eligible for a discount. If you are online shopping, then Paribus will use confirmation emails as evidence and check for price drops. Paribus has partnered with 25 retailers.

 It’s also a great way to keep a record of all your spendings as the app stores all your purchase receipts. The discounted payment is credited to your account within three to seven days.
