CheckPoints

If you have an i-Phone or Droid, you MUST check out the CheckPoints app. You earn gift cards just by scanning products at the grocery store, drug store, or even hardware stores! The app is free, and it takes 3,250 points to earn a $10 Amazon gift card, or a little more than that to earn a $10 Home Depot gift card. What I love about it is the fact that I'm at the store anyway, so there's really not a lot of effort involved other than scanning certain products.

They also have a feature called "Scan at Home", where you earn bonus coins (which you use to play games to earn points). The scan at home items change roughly weekly, and it's normally items I have at home, like a carton of eggs, cookies, or mouthwash.

If you do decide to check it out, use the bonus code rootkm when you sign up and earn 300 extra points immediately!
