I post about rebate apps a lot. They are one of my favorite ways to try new products.

Paper coupons are seemingly a thing of the past, and apps are where it’s at these days.

Most of them work the same:

• Select offers that you are interested in and opt in.
• Visit your local store and purchase the item(s). Most apps/websites will give you a list of stores selling the item(s).
• Submit the receipt (and sometimes you have to scan the UPC of the product) via the website/app/text message.
• Funds are usually sent via Venmo or Paypal. If you haven’t signed up for Venmo, check out my post about it here.

I mostly use my Venmo account for rebates. I have a Venmo card to access the funds.

Here are a few of my favorite rebate apps:

• Social Nature 
• Aisle
• WeStock

Sometimes savings apps like Ibotta have free after rebate offers. They are usually retailer-specific and only valid for a short amount of time.
