Fetch: Earn Gift Cards with Your Receipts!

Published on Jun 2, 2023 at 6:00 pm · Disclosure

A while ago, I wrote about earning money by scanning your receipt with ReceiptPal. After cashing out an Amazon gift card with them, I started wondering what other apps pay you for snapping quick photos of your receipts. Turns out there are a ton and my absolute favorite of them all is Fetch!

If you've been using ReceiptPal, then Fetch will seem just like home. Scan your receipt with your smartphone, earn points, then spend those points on gift cards. You're literally getting paid for everyday shopping you're doing already.

Over the past two years, I've redeemed over $100 in free Amazon gift cards from points I earned with Fetch!

After downloading Fetch for either Android or Apple iOS, create an account and start snapping photos of any receipts! A valid receipt just needs to have the store's name, the date, and the total spent. This can be a grocery, gas, restaurant, or any other type of receipt!

Earn your first gift card today

When I posted this last month, multiple Hiffers earned $5 gift cards right off the bat.

Thanks, Goob! In less than 10 minutes I downloaded the app, set up my account, scanned my grocery receipts from the last 2 weeks and earned enough points for a $5 gift card. This is awesome!!

Same for me as the previous commenter! Scanned the receipts I had in my wallet and along with the bonus (and a bonus for buying hot dogs, lol), got myself a $5 Amazon gift card.

I had a few recent receipts in my purse and, not knowing if they’d be accepted, decided to try and capture them. They were accepted and, along with the referral bonus, in about 10 minutes including sign-up time, I had enough points for a $5 Visa card. WooHoo! Of course I’ll be proactive now and build toward a real reward. Thanks…

How Fetch Works

One thing you'll quickly notice is how much more info there is with Fetch! Not only do they scan your receipt, but it'll actually break down what you bought into categories and give you a nice summary.

On top of that, Fetch gives bonus points if you buy certain products. These items rotate each week and you don't have to buy them in order to scan your receipt and earn rewards. However, if you happen to buy any of them, you'll get a few hundred or even thousand bonus points.

My absolute favorite feature is you have 14 days to scan your receipts in Fetch. ReceiptPal forces you to scan receipts within 5 days, which left me forgetting to scan tons of receipts. Now, I let them pile up on my shelf. Then I scan them each weekend and toss them away.

I find I'm earning points, and therefore gift card rewards, much faster with Fetch. Not only are their rewards easier to obtain by having lower thresholds, but even the time I spend in the app itself is small. The camera function couldn't be faster to snap a picture and move on with the rest of my day.

Pro Tip: If your grocery store has a self-checkout area, look for receipts other people left behind! Fetch will take any receipt, not just your receipts! 😉

Common Fetch Questions

Is there a limit to how many receipts I can submit? – You can submit up to 35 receipts per 7-day period.
Can I use coupons or other receipt rewards apps and still earn Fetch rewards points? – You bet! Fetch can be used with coupons and other apps, so you can save money and stack your rewards earnings on top. In fact, there's no reason not to use multiple receipt reward apps!
How long do I have to submit a receipt? – My favorite Fetch feature is you have a full two weeks (14 days) after the purchase date to submit your receipts.
Where does Fetch work and what stores participate? – Fetch works with most major grocery, convenience, liquor, drug, club, and big box stores. A full list of participating sites can be found on their website.

Have any other Hiffers used Fetch yet? What did you think about it!?

File Your 2022 Taxes for Free

Updated on Jun 6, 2023 at 8:16 pm · Disclosure

Is it seriously tax time again? Already?! You've got to be kidding me. I swear, it's every freaking year, like clockwork.

Before I get to any freebies, let's get one thing out of the way. If you assume I'm going to take this opportunity to rewatch my favorite Simpsons tax day clip, then you know me too well!

If you're looking to get your IRS tax return in faster than Homer or before another huge backlog piles up, then I've got some free and discounted options below!

Who can file their taxes for free?

According to the IRS, anybody who made less than $73,000 a year can file their taxes for free online. This means roughly 70% of Americans are eligible to file for free!

The IRS has put together a collection of 7 Free File IRS partners that each specialize in certain states and AGI. Here's the full list of 2022 providers with direct links to their IRS Free File Program pages and I've listed any free state filings they offer.

Free 2022 Tax Filing Sites

Website	AGI	Age	EITC	Military	Free Federal	Free State
TaxSlayer	$60,000 or less	57 or younger	✅	✅	✅ in any state	✅ in AR, AZ, DC, GA, IA, ID, IN, KY, MA, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NY, OR, RI, SC, VA, VT and WV
FreeTaxUSA	✅ for everyone!	Any	✅	✅	✅ in any state	✅ in all states if your AGI is $41,000 or less.
TaxAct	$73,000 or less	20-58 years old	✅ if AGI criterion is met	✅	✅ in any state	✅ in AR, IA, ID, MS, MT, ND, RI, VT, WA, and WV
Online Taxes	$41,000 or less	Any	✅ if AGI criterion is met	✅	✅ in any state	✅ in all states.

Additional Free Tax Partners

H&R Block Free – Another free federal and state tax option is H&R Block. On top of being free, they're heavily promoting the difference between them and TurboTax.

H&R Block is offering 45 forms required for filing your free online taxes, which is twice as many as TurboTax. They specifically mention these situations to look out for.

For Families – Child and Dependent Care Expenses
For Students – Student Loan Interest Deduction
For Students – Tuition and Fees Statement
For Uninsured – Health Coverage Exemptions

Obviously, if any of these situations apply to you, H&R Block sounds like the way to go! Here's a full list of supported forms on their “free online” plan.

If you find you need to upgrade to a different plan, you can get up to 15% off with this direct discount link.

TaxSlayer – The final, highly rated service on our list offering both state and federal tax returns for free is TaxSlayer. Like the others, this is primarily aimed at single, married, and student filers with a basic 1040.

Their paid services start at $29.95, but this link should auto-apply a promo code and save you 25% off any of their plans!

FreeTaxUSA – We also have FreeTaxUSA, who my friend swears by. One of their nice perks is that they offer all of their federal plans, both Free and Deluxe, absolutely free. So if you have a slightly more complicated federal return, you can still get it completely free with FreeTaxUSA.

The only small downside is, as of 2023, they have stopped offering their usual 10% promo codes.

Credit Karma Tax – Credit Karma Tax is a premium product that's 100% free, from start to finish. That includes all of our super-useful features, plus free filing for all supported forms and situations. Have a side-hustle? Own a home or sold some stock? Other tax services might charge you to itemize these deductions – but we don't.

From what I can tell, they don't even have a premium plan, so there's really no coupons or promo codes needed.

I will note that I've seen some negative reporting on this company. Long story short, they use your tax returns to target you with financial advertising…

TurboTax Free Edition – As of 2022, I can no longer recommend TurboTax Free as a good filing option. Pro Publica recently published a scathing expose detailing all the complex ways Turbo Tax tries upselling you to pointless services you don't need.

TurboTax still offers both free federal and state tax returns if you qualify and only need basic forms, like a 1040. But overall, I'd personally prefer to go with a different company.

Free Military Tax Options

Those in the military have an extra option with MilTax. It's a free service by the Department of Defense that uses a version of H&R Block's software. It's available to all active-duty service members, anybody in the National Guard or the reserves, and to their families. Their free program has no income or tax form restrictions as well!

One nice perk is they have both a free toll number (800-342-9647) and a live chat if you have any tax questions!

Where can you get free personal tax help?

If you need help with filing your taxes, you may qualify for the free IRS' Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program if any of these conditions apply to you:

People who generally make $58,000 or less
Persons with disabilities
Limited English-speaking taxpayers

There is also a free IRS' Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) program that can help you if you are at least 60 years old.

Both VITA and TCE sites are managed by IRS partners and staffed by their volunteers who want to make a difference in their communities. The IRS-certified volunteers who provide tax counseling are often retired individuals associated with non-profit organizations that receive grants from the IRS.

VITA and TCE sites are generally located at community and neighborhood centers, libraries, schools, shopping malls and other convenient locations across the country.

To locate the nearest VITA site near you, use the VITA Locator Tool or call 800-906-9887.

To locate the nearest TCE site near you, use the AARP Site Locator Tool or call 888-227-7669. These sites are typically only open between January and April.

Wrapping Up

So there you have it! With one of those sites, you should be able to file both of your taxes for free or extremely cheap.

Now hopefully we get a break from all these taxes next year! I hear it's a leap year, that's gotta help us somehow.

Free $15 Amazon Credit via Amazon App

Updated on May 31, 2023 at 4:24 pm · Disclosure

If you're an Amazon Prime member and you haven't used the Amazon Photo app before, you may be eligible to get a free $15 Amazon credit in seconds! Simply download the Amazon Photos app onto your phone or computer, sign into your account before December 15, 2022, and upload a single photo. You'll then receive an email from Amazon within 7 days confirming your promo credit.

This $15 credit must be used by December 25, 2022. In order to use it, you'll have to make an order including at least $30 of products sold sold by Amazon.com or Amazon Digital Services LLC (look for “sold by Amazon.com” or “sold by Amazon Digital Services LLC” on the product detail page).

Amazon has renewed this promo every time since they started this in July 2018. So if you previously took advantage of this freebie, you won't qualify again this time around. To learn more or receive your credit, head to Amazon.

If you're looking for a free VPN, my go-to here is ProtonVPN. Aside from their great security – I'm never going to recommend a VPN with bad security, that's a given! – I find their speeds to be quick and their IP addresses are almost never blocked by large websites.

Free Prescription Discount Drug Card for Humans 👩 or Pets 🐶

Published on Jul 15, 2022 at 12:00 pm · Disclosure

If you missed the earlier free EpiPen replacement post, then definitely check that out. It's an amazing freebie that's still active if you can't afford an EpiPen.

In that post, I briefly mentioned how HIF has a brand new free prescription card that you can print out and start using immediately. It's a free drug card that helps people without health insurance afford their important medicine. You can print this page or bookmark it and start using it immediately!

Well, today I woke up to this alert.

That's a $78 prescription bill that some Hiffer only paid $25 for! I have no idea who they are or what they bought, but the idea that I helped somebody knock 2/3 off their medicine bill puts a giant smile on my face.

If you don't have health insurance but still need medication, then all you have to do is print out a free drug card and take it to any participating pharmacist (CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Costco, most grocery chains, and thousands of independent retailers) to get a free discount on your prescription drugs.

How much are the free prescription savings?

Most savings are anywhere in the 10-30% range, but as you can tell from the example above, some drug discounts go as high as 85%!

I was even able to find some examples from earlier this year, where many common drugs were around 60% off.

Again, this discount drug card is only for Hiffers without health insurance, but it's 100% free and all you have to do is print out a card at home and take it to your nearest participating pharmacy the next time you need any medicine!

Multiple Ways to Save on Meds!

It's surprisingly easy to use the free drug card.

Each of these methods works, so take your pick!

Print It!

Print unlimited copies of this page (in black and white, no need for color!) to always have a copy. Keep a card in your car glove box, purse, wallet, etc. so you always have a free card when you need it!

You can also give printed cards to friends and family who qualify. There's no reason not to share the savings!

Save It!

Bookmark this page and show it on your phone to a pharmacist in person!

Again, you can share this link with friends and family via email, Facebook, or social media. They can show it to their pharmacist and if they qualify, start saving instantly!

Write It!

Write down the information on a slip of paper! There's only a few, small pieces of information in order for your pharmacist to save on both human and pet meds.

GROUP ID: NATIONAL01
MEMBER ID: NDC3497
BIN: 009893
PCN: ROIRX

App It!

Use the free app! It's available for both Apple iOS and Google Android.

Mail It!

If you do not have a printer or smartphone, request a single, free card via snail mail.

I will follow up with you via email, so please use your correct information!

Print a free pet drug card too!

It's not just us humans that need meds either! If you have a pet, you can also print out a free pet drug card! 🐶 🙀

Make sure you print this page or bookmark the link on a smartphone so you don't miss the savings!

I can't emphasize enough that this drug card isn't meant to replace health insurance, but instead help those without it. If any of you fall into that category, hopefully this will help you save a little money!

If you have experience with these, please share in the comments.

Webull’s 6 Free Stocks! – Each Freebie Valued up to $300 🤑

Updated on Jan 9, 2023 at 12:32 pm · Disclosure

For January 2023 you can get two free shares of stock just for opening an account. This great offer is worth at least $3 and could be valued up to $300!

If you haven't created a Webull account yet, I'd be sure to snag your free stock shares while you still can!

You may remember Robinhood's awesome free stock promotion where you received a free share of stock that could be worth up to $300. A few Hiffers even got the mega-expensive stock shares for free and were able to cash out within weeks!

Well, you know what they say about success, imitation, and flattery. Enter Webull Financial!

They saw Robinhood blasting off to the moon and thought “hmmm, we could do that too.” But what's a good way to differentiate themselves? Oh, I know, offer free stock shares that could be worth up to $300! 🤑

What's Webull

Similar to Robinhood, Webull offers zero commissions stock trading with their free mobile app. They're a registered broker dealer with the SEC and a member of FINRA. Webull Financial LLC is also a member of SPIC, which is the stock version of insurance like FDIC is for banking. SIPC protects your securities up to $500,000 ($250,000 of cash). I wouldn't keep anything above that on my account, but then again I'll never have that much money 🤣

Their main goal is to bring free stock trading to the masses. Gone are the days of paying a $7 commission just to buy or sell stock. With Webull you get free trading of stocks, both buying and selling.

This means you get unlimited free trades, with no minimum balance, along with a boatload of investment and research charts, information, and news – something I found lacking from Robinhood.

So how do they make money while offering free trades? By having a lot of customers! Webull makes tiny amounts of money on cash balances, interest, and premium memberships, so they don't charge crazy-high fees just for selling stock.

Obviously, Webull hopes we become lifelong members. But for our intents and purpose, we just want that sweet, sweet free share of stock!

Free Cryptocurrency Trading

Webull crypto also has a section where you can buy and sell various cryptocurrencies for free. The main cryptos they seem to carry are bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, cardano, dogecoin, and shiba.

If you wish, you can sell your free stock and use the profits to invest in crypto instead!

Practice for Free

Have you ever imagined trading on the stock market with millions of dollars? Well you can use their free paper trading feature to “buy” unlimited stocks with fake, paper money. Not only is this fun to see how you'd do with lots of money, but it's also useful for practicing your trading skills before risking actual money! Then, once you get the hang of things, you'll feel more comfortable using real money to place orders.

Earn Bonus Free Shares

Webull also gives referral bonuses of free stock for every friend and family member you get to join with your referral link.

Get your free share of stock now!

Get your Free Stock

To get your free share of stock, you need to do the following easy steps within 24 hours! If you take longer than 24 hours to sign up, you won't get your free share!

Signup here to open a new brokerage account.
Upon registering, follow the prompt to download the Webull app for your Apple iPhone or Google Android mobile phone.
Wait for your account to be approved. Mine took around an hour, but I've seen some people take up to a full day.
Open the app on your mobile devices, click the left menu, and then click “My Free Stock.”
Once your account is approved, you'll see a “CONGRATULATIONS!” message with a giant “GET” button next to it.
Click it and claim your potentially valuable free share!

From the same screen, you can invite any friends and family to Webull for even more free shares.

When I signed up, I scored a free share of ABEV, the parent company of Anheuser-Busch. It was valued at $4.49 but has since dropped like a rock, haha. Hopefully people keep drinking and drive the price back up. 😂

Get up to $1,000 free today!

What to do with your Free Stock

Your stock will be credited to your account within 10 business days. After that, you can do whatever you want with it! You can sell it for cash, keep it for a long-term investment, transfer into crypto trading, or even transfer it to a different platform. Though I think you'll agree the Webull app is far superior for compared to other free stock apps!

Please share in the comments what free stock you received – 🤞 it's something good!

Rakuten: Free $30 After $30 Purchase

Amazon Prime Members Help Support HIF for FREE!

Amazon Primers Can Support HIF for FREE!

Published on May 1, 2022 at 12:00 pm · Disclosure

If you're an Amazon Prime member, did you know you can support HIF for FREE each month?

A few years ago, Amazon bought Twitch.tv, a site where millions of people watch others play video games. On Twitch, people who broadcast their video games are allowed to have paying “subscribers,” also known as “subs.” In exchange for $5 a month, subs gain special little perks and their money goes towards supporting their favorite streamers and content creators. I actually wrote about this feature back in 2017.

When Amazon took over, they gave Prime members a free subscription each month! This means anybody who links their Amazon and Twitch accounts are able to give a streamer $5 for free, each month. If you don't use the subscription each month, it simply expires.

This means Amazon Prime members get $60 in value each year and they lose it unless they use it each month!

And do you know the perfect place to use it? On Goob's page! 😁

How to Help HIF for Free

Now I don't actually stream a lot. In fact, I hardly stream at all. But your support here helps me out immeasurably. If you're a Prime member, here's how to easily link your Amazon and Twitch accounts.

Go to Amazon Gaming.
Select connect your Twitch account.
Sign in to your Amazon.com account.
Sign in to your Twitch account and then select Confirm.

Once you've linked your account, you'll be able to subscribe for free to my channel each month! Here's how, with pictures:

Head to my Twitch page
Click the “Subscribe” box with a star (looks like this)
Click the “Subscribe Free” button next to “Free Subscription with Prime.” (looks like this)

That's it! With those simple steps, you've just done a lot to help support HIF and Goob! THANK YOU!

Legit Clinical Trials to Earn Money

Updated on Sep 22, 2022 at 5:02 pm · Disclosure

If you're one of the millions of Hiffers perpetually broke (I assume millions of you read HIF over each other's shoulder on a single, shared laptop), I know how you feel. However, it could be worse. Imagine if we were also sick on top of being strapped for cash! I know when I was going through chemo, the last thing I needed was another bill.

If you find yourself in a similar boat, one possible method of making a little side money is through paid, legitimate medical research studies. If you have a qualifying illness and live in a needed area, you can apply for a paid clinical trial earning hundreds of dollars!

These types of studies help doctors and research scientists better understand illnesses and diseases as well as find treatments and cures. Some of the studies are demographic while others involve study products or placebos. The trials are run by Acurian, a company who specializes in recruiting potential qualifying candidates for the trials.

When applying for these, I still recommend using your freebie email and freebie phone number. That way, if you change your mind on participating in a trial, you can easily stop any future calls or emails.

While researching Acurian and clinical trials, I came across ClinicalTrials.gov, a searchable database of licensed clinical trials run by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. While many of these do not pay for participation, I've included links to recruiting studies for many of the diagnoses below. When applicable, I also included links to unpaid NIH clinical trials.

As usual, I'm not a professional anything! If you get accepted to a paid study, please make sure to talk it over with your medical doctor first!

Diabetic Peripheral Neropathy (DPN) Clinical Trial

They're looking for people with diabetes and have been diagnosed with Diabetic Peripheral Neropathy (DPN) in both feet. Has moderate to severe foot pain for more than 6 months. Should have BMI under 40.

Payment: Up to $1,125.

Who Wants Free Snacks?! Get Full-Size Freebies from Ibotta!

Updated on Apr 28, 2022 at 2:44 pm · Disclosure

Ibotta is giving away up to seven free full-sized items after rebate along with another eight BOGO offers. All you have to do is snap a photo of your receipt and submit it in Ibotta's app. New members should use code zbqxa when joining.

Once you've created and logged into your account, you'll need to search for each of these offers individually within the app. Some of them are only appearing for certain demographic users, so I'm unable to confirm how many of these will be offered to each Hiffer. Still, even if you only get a few of these freebies, it'll be worth it and save you a little money!

Here are the full free items.

And here are the BOGO offers.

They have over 100 participating grocery stores listed on each of these pages!

What's Ibotta?

Ibotta is one of the leading mobile coupon apps that pays you to shop for everyday grocery items. Think of it like reverse coupons. You get the discount after you purchase the items instead of during checkout, but it's the same ultimate effect.

While most of Ibotta's cashback coupon rebates are for specific items or brands, they also give free cash-back on generic “Any Brand” offers with no brand requirements whatsoever.

If you purchase any of the items listed below at a participating grocery, online, or drug store, then simply take a picture of your receipt and upload it into the app. Your account will then be credited for the cash back – all for free!

If some of the links below don't work for you, don't worry! Ibotta is a location-specific app. To find ALL the FREE no-brand coupons available to you just login, enter your zip, and search “any brand” on either their app of desktop site!

Ibotta Any Brand Offers

Unfortunately, as of 2019, Ibotta no longer uploads these deals to their website. You can see find them all in the app though!

Ibotta gives regional generic offers too, so make sure to search for “any brand” on your Ibotta app to get the most up-to-date freebie offers!

I'll keep this post updated and running with every active generic Ibotta cashback offer I can find.
