Get $100 by joining me on Chime — terms apply.
I use Chime for daily purchases because the cash-back offers are unbeatable. On Papa Murphy’s Tuesday, I already get a great deal — and when I pay with my Chime card through the app or Google Wallet, I earn 15% cash back on top of it. FYI Papa Murphy's accepts Food Stamps / EBT for payment, because you do the cooking at home.
I also use Chime for Pizza Hut, where I get 17% cash back just for paying with my card.

If you shop at Walmart — and let’s be honest, most of us do — OnePay gives you cash back automatically. You get 3% cash back on Walmart purchases right away. But if you have Walmart Plus, it gets even better: you get 5% cash back on everything you buy at Walmart when paying through the OnePay app or using your OnePay card at the register.
You can’t tap-to-pay at Walmart registers, but OnePay gives you a workaround. Just use the OnePay app to scan the QR code at checkout and pay instantly — fast, easy, and rewarding.

If you’ve ever wanted to own Bitcoin or other crypto without spending your own money, Uphold makes it possible. Every paycheck, I have a portion direct deposited into my Uphold account, and they reward me with 6% extra in crypto every month.
As long as you set up a direct deposit of $250 or more, Uphold automatically pays you monthly rewards: 4% in XRP, 1% in ZBCN, and 1% in WMTX. You always have full access to both your money and the crypto they give you — no lockups, no waiting.
It’s one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to accumulate crypto without buying it.
Join UpholdA flexible side gig with full control over when and how you work.
Uber has been one of the best income boosters I’ve ever had. You can work whenever you want — for five minutes or twelve hours — and you can pause or stop at any time. You’re never required to accept a ride you don’t want, and you’re always in control of your schedule.
It’s a great option whether you want serious side money or a full‑time income. You don’t even need a business license right away — you can take care of that later once you're earning. Uber also helps with tax prep discounts, and once you reach the first performance tier, you earn a free one‑year Costco membership.
I’ve been driving with Uber since 2018. It’s supplemented my income for years, and at times it was my only income. I genuinely enjoyed it, and if I still had a car, I’d be doing it right now.
Sign Up for UberA fast, fair way to borrow when you're in a pinch.
Everyone runs short sometimes — it happens. Brigit is the fastest, easiest way I’ve ever borrowed a little extra money. I’ve literally been approved in under 60 seconds while standing in line at Walmart. By the time the cashier rang me up, the funds were already in my bank account.
Brigit doesn’t overcharge, and it doesn’t trap you with crazy fees or interest. It’s straightforward, fair, and designed to help you, not hurt you.
Try BrigitTwo phone lines for about $45/month — with better privacy and built‑in backup coverage.
I run two SIMs on one phone using US Mobile and only pay about $45/month for both numbers. One line is for friends and family and the other is for business. When I give out a number to people I barely know, they get my business line — not the number tied to my primary accounts and personal contacts. That separation is a security feature I really like.
Another big advantage is reliability. My phone supports network switching, so if one line is weak in a certain area, it can switch to the other network so I can stay connected. That’s especially useful when I’m out making deliveries in remote areas.
I’m on the Unlimited Premium plan: 100 GB of high‑speed data (then continued data at reduced speeds) plus a solid amount of hotspot data. I even use my phone for basic internet at home, and it works great for what I need.
Join US MobileHelp save lives by donating plasma — and get paid for your time.
Donating plasma is one of the easiest ways to make extra money while doing something that genuinely helps people. Plasma is used to create life‑saving medicines for individuals with immune deficiencies and other serious conditions.
Your first visit can take a couple of hours because you’ll do a light physical and answer some health questions. After that, many people can finish visits in under 45 minutes (about an hour for others).
For your first several visits, you can earn $100 per session, which can be an easier way to make around $200/week extra for not much time spent.
