With Thanksgiving approaching, retailers are buckling down for the ultimate day of shopping: Black Friday. A day when shoppers can get their hands on the latest and greatest “must have” gifts for the loved ones on their list and you can score some sweet deals on the things you’ve had your eye on all year.
However, if the only thing coming out of your wallet is moths this year, it can put a damper on your holiday spending. That’s why we compiled a list of how to make some quick cash before the big day so that you’re not left out in the cold.
Toner Connect has a great buyback program when it comes to your unused toner and it’s a perfect way to get some cash quick. As long as your toner meets our requirements, we want to buy it! Simply fill out our form, upload your list, or snap a photo of your toner, and we’ll get back to you with our price!
Donating plasma can be a great way to make money and also help save lives. Plasma is used to help make life-saving medicine for patients with chronic, rare and inherited diseases such as hemophilia. You are compensated for your donation and can donate up to twice a week.
The amount of compensation depends on the location but pay usually ranges from $20-$50 each time. Visit Donatingplasma.org to learn more.
Got any items lying around you’re ready to part with? Selling on eBay is a great way to earn some extra cash and to purge your closet at the same time. You know what they say, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”.
Just be sure to sign up to become a registered seller first. You can also sell your wares on sites such as Letgo and Offerup.
Good! Did you know people will pay to hear it? Companies such as Ipsos, Inboxdollars, and Swagbucks will pay you to fill out their online surveys.
Not only that, you have more options with Swagbucks to try out games, search shop sites and explore online content for compensation.
There is an online company called Ibotta that rewards you for taking pictures of your receipts. According to Penny Hoarder, they offer cash back rewards every time you shop.
They give the example of purchasing from Best Buy, uploading their receipt and getting 2% cash back. Similarly, a Target receipt got them $0.25 back for any amount. You just need an email to sign up and can request payment through Paypal or Venmo.
As of right now, Hyundai is offering a $50 prepaid Visa gift card if you come in a test drive their vehicles. You just need a valid DL. Check their website for local participating dealerships.
Another source of quick income is by browsing Craigslist gigs. While there may be some rather interesting requests out there, it’s a good place to find some quick work for fast payment. Oftentimes people will request workers for odd jobs such as painting their house, mowing their lawn, artist commissions etc…
Just be sure to communicate with the ad poster first and be smart with deciding whether or not a gig’s for you. If it sounds shady or too good to be true, it usually is. Craigslist is also a place you can try selling old items.
Another survey/video site you can earn on is called EarnHoney. Basically, the site pays you in what they call “Nectar” and for every nine nectar you get you earn 1 honey dollar. You can watch videos, play games or complete surveys. So far they payout in Amazon gift cards and Paypal.
Decluttr is an online store that will purchase your old electronics. From DVDs, Blu-rays, video games, cell phones, consoles etc…They offer free shipping and even have a mobile app that allows you to scan your barcode and immediately get an offer from Decluttr. If you’ve been wanting to get rid of your physical media, now’s the time.
Another way to get rid of old games and consoles is by selling to games stores like GameStop. Simply bring in your items and you’ll get a quote right then and there. And while sometimes difficult to find, FYE is another brick and mortar that will buy old DVDs, Blu-rays and VHS’s. Use their location finder to see if there’s one near you.
Ebates is a company that basically pays for what you want to do. Shop. Simply sign up to create an account and then when you’re ready to shop online, visit ebates and select one of the stores you’re purchasing from.
