Scanning while Shopping 

 

There are three apps that I find useful while shopping that require scanning of items. Jingit, CheckPoints, and ShopKick

The first one I'm going to talk about is Jingit which can be found in the App Store. Using this app you will be directed to stores in your area with items that are being promoted and you then can as they call it "check-in" by finding the items and scanning the barcodes with the camera on your mobile device. One thing that is a bonus to this app is that you can also watch short advertisements both on your mobile device and also on a laptop or desktop computer and earn even more money. Finally, another large bonus is that the money is transferred to your bank account and you are awarded with a jingit debit card to use as you please with your earned funds. 

The second, Shopkick is also an app in the AppStore. It is used by locating stores in your area and then scanning the items barcodes with your phone. The bonus of this app is that you can like things and make books of the items you like almost like a Pinterest type of thing. Another reward you get by using this app is what the app calls "Walk-ins" which are points awarded just for entering a participating location, these are usually large retailers like Walmart, Target, Shopko, and many others. 

Saving the best for last, my favorite of the three is CheckPoints, this app like the others is used by scanning barcodes to earn points. But the really interesting part of this app is the lotto, you can earn tokens, to play the slots or scratchers, by either scanning items or buying them with your points. The largest prize you can win is worth around 500$ worth of points.
