πŸ’Έ Freebies That Pay You Back: 5 Ways to Get Free Stuff and Earn Cash or Credits

Not all freebies are one-and-done samples — some actually give back! From cash rewards to credits and rebates, these freebies help you save and earn at the same time.

All five are below — and trust me, once you try these, you’ll never settle for ordinary freebies again πŸ‘‡


πŸ’¬ Tip #1

Join cashback apps that count freebies as purchases.
Most cashback apps work by tracking your receipts — and here’s the twist: they often count free-after-rebate or discounted items too. That means you can submit a receipt for something that was already free and still earn cash back on it. It’s a double win that many shoppers don’t realize exists.


πŸ’¬ Tip #2

Look for freebies with referral bonuses.
Some brands reward you and your friends when you share a freebie link. You get points or gift cards for every sign-up, and your friends get a free product. It’s one of the easiest ways to earn small rewards while helping others score something free too.


πŸ’¬ Tip #3

Use “try-before-you-buy” programs that refund your full cost.
Certain brands let you purchase a product, try it for a set period, and then refund the entire amount — no need to return it. It’s essentially a paid trial disguised as a full refund. Keep your receipts, follow the claim instructions carefully, and it’s like testing products for free while getting your money back.


πŸ’¬ Tip #4

Trade empty containers for free products.
A growing number of beauty and cleaning brands offer rewards for returning empties. You’ll get points, coupons, or even full-size products in return. It’s weirdly satisfying to see your recycling earn you freebies — plus, it’s good for the planet.


πŸ’¬ Tip #5

Always check Frugal Freebies before signing up.
