$5 off $50 at Target and 300 walk-in points at ANY Target store


I haven't posted about ShopKick in a while, but I just found out that today, they are starting nationwide walk-in points at all Target stores.  And to kick it off, today they are giving you 300 points just for walking in to any Target store!  That was too good not to share.  Gift cards can be redeemed on ShopKick starting at 500 points, so you'll be 60% of the way there just for going to Target!

AND

Today only, there will be a $5 off $50 mobile coupon at Target on your ShopKick app.  The number of coupons available are limited, so use it as soon as you can!

What's  ShopKick ? I'm so glad you asked.




Basically, it's a smartphone app that rewards shoppers with "kicks" (formerly called "kickbucks," points which can be redeemed for store gift cards) simply for walking into a brick & mortar store. Sounds pretty un-techy, you say, for this day and age? Not at all. How does Shopkick know you are actually in the store? Because you "check in" via the smartphone application that locates you via GPS. Shopkick also gives you points for scanning items in-store and in some cases, for buying items. Shopkick also has some unique digital coupons (that I haven't seen anywhere else) that you just show to the cashier and ask her to scan when you purchase something in a Shopkick member store. Finally, for my fellow lazy slugs, Shopkick's also got "Instant Surprises" that allow you to earn kickbucks while sitting on your couch. The points accumulate pretty quickly (frankly, I can't be bothered with points programs where you need to wait forever for a reward).  I'm on my fourth Target giftcard reward.

Now, here's an even faster way to get Shopkick on your phone, and get a 50 kicks bonus to boot. Click here through my special link (and thanks for letting me refer you), and fill out the short form. Shopkick will text the link to their (free) app directly to your smartphone. Just click on the link in the text and it will download and install on your phone. You'll get an instant 50 kickbucks just for signing up through my referral link. Gift cards start at 500 kickbucks, so when you refer nine more of your friends, you'll qualify for a gift card immediately. I love this app.

Using Shopkick is pretty intuitive, but for more info on how to navigate through it and earn kicks, check out my Shopkick tutorial here.
