Start Here: Get Paid to Sign Up for Cashback Apps (Referral Codes)

These four free apps pay you back on groceries, receipts, online shopping, and other rewards. Sign up with Cindy’s codes (or her Rakuten or Swagbucks link) so a welcome bonus can attach to your new account. Then stack that cash back with the weekly deals on this site.

Bonus amounts checked November 11, 2026 on each app’s official page. Offers can change, so confirm the details in the app or on the sign-up page before you shop. Source links are at the bottom of this page.

Disclosure: These are Cindy’s personal referral codes. When you sign up with them, Cindy may earn a referral bonus too, at no cost to you.

Ibotta

Ibotta pays cash back when you redeem offers and submit receipts (or shop through the app). Use this code when you create your account—it can’t be added later.

1. Download Ibotta from the official Ibotta download page, the App Store, or Google Play. You can also start at ibotta.com/r/tmxobuc.
2. Create a new account and type referral code tmxobuc during sign-up. Ibotta says the code cannot be added after registration is complete.
3. You get a sign-up bonus after you redeem your first offer and submit a receipt. Ibotta’s official help pages do not publish a fixed dollar amount—the welcome bonus details appear in the app and can change. You must be a brand-new Saver on a device that does not already have an Ibotta account.

Fetch

Fetch gives you points for snapping grocery and drugstore receipts, and you can cash those points in for gift cards.

1. Download Fetch from fetch.com (App Store and Google Play links are on that official site).
2. Enter referral code C8CBY when you sign up. If you skip it, you can still add the code in the app before you snap your first receipt: open your Account tab, tap Refer a friend, and enter the code.
3. Typically, you get 2,000 points after you snap your first receipt. Fetch notes that special promotions sometimes pay more.

Rakuten

Rakuten pays Cash Back when you shop through its website, app, or browser extension. There is no code to type—join with Cindy’s referral link so the bonus is tracked automatically.

1. Open Cindy’s Rakuten referral link and create a new member account. You can also download the Rakuten app from that page for iOS or Android.
2. No referral code is needed. Signing up through the link is what connects the bonus to your account.
3. You get a $50 sign-up bonus after you place qualifying Cash Back orders totaling at least $50 within 90 days of joining. You must be a new member located in the 50 United States or D.C. Amazon.com purchases generally do not count (except music.amazon.com). This is the current offer for the period beginning October 1, 2026 and ending December 31, 2026; Rakuten may modify or cancel it anytime.

Swagbucks

Swagbucks pays SB—points you can redeem for gift cards or cash—for shopping, surveys, receipts, and more. There is no code to type. Join with Cindy’s referral button so the referral is tracked automatically.

1. Tap Join Swagbucks and create a new account. Finish registration in that same browser session (don’t jump away to a bookmark, search result, or app store first).
2. No referral code is needed. Signing up through the button is what connects the referral to your account. You can download the official Swagbucks app after you join.
3. You get a $10 Welcome Bonus after you activate it on the SwagUp page and make one eligible purchase of at least $25. The purchase SB typically posts within 32 days, and the $10 posts a few days after that. Amazon, eBay, The Home Depot, MyGiftCardsPlus, travel, and flat-rate cash back purchases do not qualify.
