“I’ve made $900 this year just from doing this...”

As a Senior Editor at BuzzFeed, I cover books and politics, and I also created the daily vocabulary-boosting word game SAT Scramble.

"On certain holidays, they have really high cash back. I moved and needed a new mattress, vacuum, and speakers. It was during Black Friday so I got 20% cash back. Ended up being about $500 deposited into my PayPal account 🤑."

"My husband’s insurance has a reward program. We get points for things like exercise, sleep, tracking healthy habits, etc. We don’t even have to do much because we both wear Fitbits that sync to the app. We can get up to $100 in gift cards, plus a $75 credit toward health insurance premiums each quarter. That’s $1,400 a year."

"I pretty much need something every month at CVS, so it works really well, and that stuff is very expensive. You also get free shipping over a certain amount and 20% off on CVS brand products. I feel like I make out like a bandit with this deal. 

I used to try couponing, but it was too much work. This is the only thing I really do coupons for, but they are all digital and really easy right on the CVS app. If I don't make it in the store, I just buy it online and make sure to get the free shipping."

You can look up class action settlements on sites like Consumer Action and ClassAction.org.
