Did You Know… You can earn BONUS cash by clipping coupons?

Coupons are a great way to save money, right?

Well, what if I told you that in addition to the money you save when you REDEEM those coupons at your local grocery store, that there are also a few ways to earn BONUS money and rewards for clipping coupons too??

How to Earn Rewards from your Coupon Clipping:

You earn 10 Swagbucks for EVERY coupon that you print out from their site and redeem!!! There are great ones too:

$1.00 off Skittles
$1.00 off 1 Minute Maid Juice Box 10-pk
$1.50 off any TWO (2) Ziploc Containers
$1.00 off TWO Clorox Clean-Up products
.75 cents off 1 package of PHILADELPHIA Cooking Creme
and TONS more!

What the points are worth:

You can get a $5 Amazon gift card every time you reach 450 points, {or one of thousands of other rewards, this one is just my favorite.}, which means each coupon is worth about .10 cents in Amazon bucks. You’re going to clip coupons anyway, so this is an AMAZING way to add some extra savings!! You can find the coupon printing app right on the home page, right side. LOVE this!!

**********

Another way to earn some bonus rewards with coupons is to use Inbox Dollars to print coupons. Every coupon you print and redeem here will earn you .10 cents cash!!

They deposit it right into your Inbox Dollars account, and you can request a check when you reach $30. And they are VERY accurate, I’ve been using it for years, and have never had any problems. There are a ton of other ways to earn here too, plus you get a FREE $5 bucks today when you sign up!!

**********

MyPoints rewards you with points that you can also use towards FREE gift cards!! You earn 10 points for every Coupons.com coupon that you print and redeem. Plus, earn 25 BONUS Points when you print and redeem and 10 or more Coupons.com, Smartsource.com coupons or when you save and redeem any 10 or more Cellfire coupons in a month!

Your points can be redeemed for 100% free gift cards- A few examples:

1,650 points = $10 The Cheesecake Factory Gift Card
1,700 points = $10 CVS/pharmacy® Gift Card
3,950 points = $25 Amazon.com Gift Cert. Claim Code
6,850 points = $50 Old Navy Gift Card
8,950 points = $50 into your PayPal account

I like to save up all of the gift cards that I earn all year, and use them at the holidays, to make most of my shopping free!

How the Savings add up:

Many of these coupons are similar to what you’ll find on Coupons.com, or RedPlum, or what you can load digitally to your cards on Cellfire. The big difference is that you are getting PAID bonus rewards or cash when you use them… Which you don’t get when you use coupons from other sites! Think of it this way…

EVERY 10 COUPONS YOU PRINT EARNS YOU AN EXTRA $1 DOLLAR!!! WOW, RIGHT???

That adds up quick! Plus, if you usually print coupons from the other sites, there is a limit to how many copies you can print. So head to one of these sites to print more, to stock up on great deals!!

You can also earn with Online Coupon Codes:

Sign up for an account at CouponChief.com, then add the best online coupon codes you find each day. You can share your link with friends, {mine is SunandSipCups if you want to check it out… I haven’t used it in awhile, so the codes are probably old. But I’m going to be getting started with this again very soon!} or if you’re a blogger, add the widget right on your site, and share your Top 5 Coupon Codes directly with your readers!

You earn 2% of the purchase price, every time someone makes a purchase with YOUR coupon code!! Awesome, right?

Get signed up today, and start earning more money!!

Remember, sign up at Swagbucks to earn points for every coupon you print and redeem, which you can use to get FREE gift cards and other rewards!! Sign up at Inbox Dollars too, and earn FREE CASH for every coupon you redeem!!! And if you shop online a lot, share those cool coupon codes you find on CouponChief.com, and earn more cash that way too!!

This is a great way to earn a little {or a LOT if you’re a big coupon junkie} extra money for your family….

Back-to-School Coupon Codes + Free Cash

Are you ready for back-to-school?

If you still have shopping to do {and I betting that most of you do!} then you’ll love this quick trick to save big on school supplies, clothes, computers, and whatever else you still need to stock up on.

How to Save:

Do all of your shopping through Ebates! All of the following coupon codes are available to use through Ebates this week, to save you big bucks on your shopping right now. THEN, since you’re shopping through Ebates, and they have a BIG promotion for DOUBLE CASH BACK going on, you’ll stack up some additional savings, and they’ll send you out a BIG FAT CHECK like mine above, with all of your cash back! {During back-to-school and the holidays, I earn between $50-$100 each quarter in savings. The rest of the year, it’s smaller. But still, you’d do the shopping anyway, why not get some of your money back, right?}

How Ebates works:

It’s so super simple. Set up a quick Ebates account, and then use the search box to find the store you want to shop with. They’ll show you some coupon codes to choose from, that you can use at that retailer, and you can see how much cash back you earn there too. Then, click the link, shop like usual, and it will automatically add up your cash back and add it to your account. Easy peasy!
