I recently discovered a new way to shop! Okay, maybe not recently. About six months ago. It's called Atome.

Do you do online shopping? You probably do now, right? It is so convenient to buy items online! You can be at home or anywhere else and you can buy an item with the press of a button. With the pandemic and ongoing lockdowns, online shopping has become a norm. Businesses who didn't have e-commerce had to adopt in order to reach more of their customers. In fact, the pandemic has driven growth in the e-commerce industry.
Personally, I've been enjoying shopping for things online even before the pandemic when most of my friends were still iffy about the idea of buying things online. I would consider myself an early adopter of online shopping. The secret was to find trustworthy online vendors like Zalora, Shopee and Lazada which offer different payment options and have return and exchange policies.
And because I loved online shopping, I found it very appealing to install an app called, Shopback.
It's an online site that "helps you get the best deals and discounts on 300+ stores, plus cashback!" When you shop online through Shopback, you will receive a portion of the amount you purchased online back as cashback. Learn more about Shopback here.
Of course any app that promises I'd earn some cash from using it also makes me wary somewhat. Was I actually going to get money from it? Well, I tried it because what had I got to lose? I was going to do some online transactions anyway.
After a year and two cashback withdrawals later and I am happy to report that yes, guys! It does work!
This is the mobile app interface. Shopback has a website but I'm always on my phone anyway so I use the mobile app more. Since the lockdowns, I've seen more brands partnered with Shopback.
Before the lockdown, I used to shop for clothes at Zalora, one of the many brand partners of Shopback. For my online transaction to be credited for some cashback, I simply had to open Shopback app first and from there, click on Zalora. I even used Lazada instead of going to a physical store before to purchase beauty products which I found was cheaper due to their bundled offers. When I had travels whether local or international, I'd book through Booking, Airbnb or Agoda and I would course it through Shopback for cashback.
I found that some cashbacks took awhile before it got credited to my account like Agoda while some you'll get in a day like Grab (when it was a partner merchant).
You can see the status of your cashback on the dashboard. As you'll see in the photo above, my available, pending and withdrawn balances are reflected so it's actually easy to keep track.
This was one my total earnings after using Shopback for sometime. You can withdraw your balance once it reaches P200 and you can get it via Paypal or bank deposit. I've been able to withdraw from Shopback multiple times already.
I love using Shopback because I get some savings from my online shopping. It's extra money I can use for whatever!

Ever since I made it a point to keep track of my spending, my wallet had always had a receipt or two in it so I could note down my expenses at the end of the day. Now, those receipts have another purpose before getting thrown out in the trash - I snap a photo of them for cash rewards.
Allow me to introduce you to Snapcart!
What Is It?
It's a mobile app where you can snap receipts - any kind of receipt - and be rewarded with coins. The coins can in turn be used to earn cashbacks and vouchers.
It's simple really. When you have a receipt, just open the app and take a photo from there to upload it. You'll get your coins reward instantly which as mentioned can be turned into vouchers or cash.
Staying updated on news and current events is very important. You can make better and informed decisions when you are aware of what's happening around you. In this day and age of technology, we have more than one way to keep informed. While we can still get the news from newspapers, radio and TV, we can now also get it online!

Personally, I get my news easily nowadays via my Facebook and Twitter feeds since I follow online publications but I recently found an app that not only allows me to read news but also earn cash from doing so. Introducing Buzz Break!
Using the app doesn't instantly give you money. Rather, what the app does is have you earn points that can be converted to cash.
Out of these, what I personally do is watch videos, read news and check in daily. I've tried to get friends to sign up and try Buzz Break but they're not really as willing to try money making apps like this as me so... The more of these you do, the easier you'll earn points.
You can get as much as Php1,000 from using Buzz Break. You just have to spend a lot of time browsing news and watching videos, that's the catch. Now if you have a lot of downtime to spare, you'll surely earn enough points to get that money in no time!
