πŸ’‘ Hidden Freebies You Already Paid For: 5 Perks You Might Be Missing Out On

You might be sitting on freebies and benefits you’ve already paid for — they just happen to be hidden behind fine print or buried in membership perks. These are the kinds of “secret savings” that most people overlook, but once you find them, they’re hard to forget.

All five are in the comments — and you’ll probably recognize a few you didn’t even realize you had πŸ‘‡


πŸ’¬ Tip #1

Check your credit card benefits page.
Many credit cards quietly include perks like extended warranties, price protection, or free travel insurance — but you have to know to use them. Some even reimburse you for cell phone damage or trip delays if you paid with that card. It’s worth logging into your account and scanning the benefits list. You may find hundreds of dollars in coverage or freebies waiting to be claimed.


πŸ’¬ Tip #2

Use your streaming subscriptions’ hidden offers.
Platforms like Spotify, Amazon Prime, and even mobile carriers often come with bonus perks. These can include free food delivery trials, gaming credits, cloud storage, and even photo printing discounts. Most people only use their main feature, but those extras can easily add up to $10–$20 in free value each month.


πŸ’¬ Tip #3

Redeem loyalty points before they expire.
Grocery stores, gas stations, and retailers love giving loyalty points — and equally love when people forget to use them. Check your accounts for unused points or “birthday rewards.” Even if the reward seems small, combining a few can cover part of your next purchase or score a completely free item.


πŸ’¬ Tip #4

Use your product warranties and guarantees.
Many brands offer replacement programs for worn-out or defective items — even years later. Think cookware, luggage, and shoes. A quick message to customer service with your proof of purchase can result in a brand-new replacement. You already paid for that warranty, so you might as well cash it in!


πŸ’¬ Tip #5

Always check Frugal Freebies before you buy.
I share deals, hidden freebies, rebates, and replacement programs every day — so if you’re not sure what your purchase comes with, I might have already posted a shortcut to it. You could be missing out on free stuff that’s hiding in plain sight.


πŸ’¬ Tip #6

Want to help more people uncover these hidden perks? Share this post with your friends so they can start finding the freebies they’ve already paid for too. Saving is more powerful when we do it together — and one shared post might help someone finally claim what’s rightfully theirs.
