$5 off $50 coupon at Target still available and 200 Shopkick points just for walking into Target

Shopkick extended its special offer from Wednesday, yay! Today only, you will get 200 points just for walking in to any Target store.  If you took advantage of Wednesday's offer, that means you already have 300 points from the Target walk-in, and 500 points can be instantly redeemed for a $5 giftcard!  That didn't take long.

AND

That $5 off $50 mobile Target coupon on your ShopKick app is still good (through 5/26).  There don't seem to be any restrictions on the number of times you can use it, as long as you buy $50 worth of stuff at Target.   

Whoa, you say.  What's ShopKick ?  Only my current favorite smartphone app.  And I'm hoping it will become yours too.






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.
