Fetch Rewards-Bonus Point Offers and More!

Abby H.Leave a comment

Fetch has some amazing bonus point offers.

Check your account to find more. If you aren’t already using Fetch, now is the time!

Until June 30th, you’ll start off with 2000 points after you sign up and scan your first receipt. If you are already a Fetch member, you’ll earn 4000 points when someone uses your referral code!

I cash out my Fetch Rewards points for gift cards that help me stretch my budget- grocery stores, Amazon, even Bath and Body Works!  I cashed out about $120 in rewards in 2025, and so far in 2026, I’ve cashed out about $40. I’ve been doing a lot more shopping at Aldi, so I don’t usually score the extra points for buying name brands, but every little bit helps.

 

Signing up is quick and easy if you aren’t already using Fetch Rewards! You learn more when you check out my post here.

Find the Fetch Rewards app in your app store, and when you download it and scan any receipt, use my code ND2TB when you sign up, and you’ll score 2,000 bonus points. I scan all of my receipts (grocery, mass merchandiser, gas receipts, restaurants, you name it) and take advantage of extra point offers- the points really rack up!

May 2026 Monthly Side Quest Totals!

Abby H.

Quests require compasses and treasure chests, right?Why am I referring to them as “quests” and not “hustle“?

Hustling indicates moving quickly to earn money. This year, I’m doing a little bit every day, approximately 20 minutes on small surveys and small tasks. I may earn less daily, but overall, I can use small tasks to earn more through compounding.

Here are the ways I earned money besides my “9-5”. This month was a little bit better than last month

  • MyPoints:  $15 Amazon Gift Cards
  • PaidViewPoint:  $10.19 Venmo
  • G2:  $20 Amazon Gift Cards
  • Fetch:  $10 Amazon Gift Cards
  • Rebates (WeStock, Peekage, Social Nature, and Aisle ):  $17.26 between  Social Nature and Aisle.
  • Receipt Hog: $5.00 Amazon Gift Card
  • Class action lawsuits (I use SettleMate to help me find ones that I might qualify for): $23.10 (
  • Evidation: $10 via Venmo
  • BrandClub:  $12.00
  • TPT (I make worksheets/flashcards in my spare time for special ed classrooms). This side quest is definitely a slow trickle of money. I spent a lot of time over the summer making/uploading educational materials to my TPT account. $23.70
  • Veralight: $20 via Venmo
  • OhmConnect: $3.18

As always, the links above may be affiliate links, and I might earn money or points if you join any of the above apps or activities. This helps support my blog and family.
