My List of Ways to Get Free Money!
Here’s my list of ways to get “free” money, and by free I mean getting money/goods without changing your way of life much and without risk. I’m not in dire need of money, so these are simple ways.
Checking Accounts (you have to report these on your income tax statement. Also, they check your credit every time you apply, which would lower your credit score. I don’t care since I’m still young.):
- Chase has some promotions for their personal (around $50-100) and business ($150-200) checking accounts. The ones I’ve seen are ads when I log into my Chase account, but I’ve gotten them mailed to my apartment and house before.
- Bank of the West – Get an iPod Touch for free!
- CitiBank
- Other promotions
Online shopping:
- Ebates – get cashback for shopping online through Ebates and for referrals. I think you get $10 for free after signing up once and using it within 30 days
- Bing Shopping Cashback – get cashback for shopping online through Bing (can be combined with Ebates)
- Other online cashback websites – these two are the best from what I can tell, especially for Tiger Direct
Do work online (if you have free time):
If you’re in dire need of cash, you can also do the normal route like doing surveys online, or blogging and setting up advertisements and affiliates! But these typically take a lot of time and you don’t get much money.
If you know any more ways, let me know.
