iPhone Apps That Pay You
Iphone apps that pay
The iPhone, for many of us, has become as indispensable as the microwave. It's our handy dandy phone, tip calculator, restaurant finder, newspaper, sports center, flashlight, and social media mobile mecca. But did you know you could make some money and can get free stuff just by doing things you are already doing with your iPhone? Mind blowing stuff right?
It's a lot easier than you think. From checking in to places, shopping, or taking surveys there are plenty of opportunities to make some extra cash right from your phone using your handy dandy ios apps.
Well I'm here to tell you that you can and I already have. Read on my friend and find out which iPhone apps can pay you back. Or at least get you some free stuff. And who doesn't like free money or free stuff?

Shopkick video
Shopkick
This app takes walking into stores and checking in, to a whole new level. Shopkick actually allows you to just walk into certain stores, click on the app, and it check you in automatically! Cool right?
You can also earn kickbucks by checking into stores that don't have the automatic check-in. For these stores you'll just have to go one extra step and choose it from a list of the closest stores to you. Still easy but just not as cool. And in some stores you can scan barcodes of certain items to get more kickbucks.
You can then turn kickbucks into free gift certificates to places such as Best Buy, Restaurants.com, American Eagle Outfitters, Sports Authority, and iTunes.
CheckPoints
"The App That Pays You Back"
Oddly enough that exactly what it does. It works much like Shopkick in that you go into stores, check in through the app, and you get points that can turned into gift cards and other prizes. You can also scan additional products in certain stores to get more points.
Simple and easy.
