Shopkick - earn Kickbucks for walking and scanning in stores


If you have not heard about ShopKick and you have an Iphone or Android, you should check it out. I joined this weekend and have already earned 712 Kickbucks. You can earn Kickbucks simply by checking in daily at stores around your area or scanning items at grocery and convenience stores.   I easily got 80 points at Walgreens while I was in there doing my normal shopping!
I have to admit I am in a grocery story almost daily so easily earn 100 points daily just by scanning the selected products with my android phone(also works for Iphones).

The app uses the GPS on your phone, so depending on where you are around town determines if there are bonus kickbucks you can earn, however I have found that even by simply visiting Walgreens, Kroger, Randalls or a gas station, I can easily rack up the kickbucks! I already have enough points for a $2 Best Buy giftcard but I am working toward a $5 Target giftcard which I believe requires 1250 kickbucks.  Going along as I have been I should easily be able to earn one every other week!!!!!  WOW!  (I will keep you posted on my status on that)

In addition to the KickBucks, there are discounts to various retailers.  For example, right now, there is a $5 off a $5 or more purchase at American Eagle Outfitters or a $10 off $50 purchase at Macy's.
If you are interested and have an android or iphone, just go to Shopkick and download the app and register.  Then, we you go to your "collect" screen tap the banner that says got a promo code and enter silver8925 and they will give you 50 kickbucks to get you started!  This code only works for 24 hours after uploading the app, so don't forget to do this right away!

I am an addict!!!! I find myself refreshing my screen as I drive to different parts of town and I look for those 2 points here and there.
I have scanned the grocery items everyday. I think the stores near me think I am NUTS!

Thanks! I was super excited when I emailed the shopkick folks about my razr/android-pda situation and they told me I could still use the app - but then two days later I had a new android phone! (To use like normal people use android phones, not like a pda. ;) ) I've only used it in one store so far, and I won't accumulate points as fast as you are, but I'm planning to go to the mall today. ;)
