Everybody could use some extra cash, especially nowadays. But getting that extra cash can be pretty tricky if you already have a full-time job or have kids that you need to stay at home for.

What could help you earn extra income without taking a ton of your time while allowing you to stay home? Online apps, such as the ones we’ll discuss in this guide. And while they won’t turn you into an Internet millionaire, they’ll let you start earning cash quickly by completing tasks that you probably already do for free.

MyPoints

A quick trip to the MyPoints website lets you know that you can earn gift cards on the go. How? By completing surveys, shopping online, watching videos, and playing games. The more tasks you complete, the more points you earn. And after a while, you can convert those points into gift cards, cash, or even travel miles if you’re looking to get away soon.

InboxDollars

Like MyPoints, InboxDollars is an online app that lets you complete everyday Internet tasks for easy cash. You can watch videos, read emails, take surveys, etc., to pad your income without doing anything strenuous. And again, although it won’t make you a millionaire, using such an app is a great way to make your time on the couch more profitable.

NCP

If you’re like many, you prefer to keep your receipts instead of tossing them in the trash, as you may need to return something later on or have them handy to track your spending. But did you know those receipts could represent cash? They could if you scan them with the NCP app, as it’ll reward you with points and gift cards for doing so.

Once your receipts are all scanned, you can continue using the NCP app to stack rewards by completing surveys, playing games, and writing short reviews of your purchases.

Cashyy

How can you make time in a waiting room more tolerable? By playing a game on your smartphone. But instead of simply playing a game for fun, why not play it for cash? That’s what the Cashyy app lets you do, as it rewards people for playing entertaining games on their devices.

The way Cashyy works is simple. You simply pick a game that catches your eye and complete it. You get coins for playing, and once you earn enough coins, you can convert them into gift cards.

Swagbucks

Here’s another easy-to-use online app that rewards you for time spent on your smartphone. Whether it’s answering surveys, watching entertaining videos, or even shopping online, Swagbucks will give you discounts or gift cards that can boost your bottom line.

Rewarded Play

As you can tell by its name, Rewarded Play lets you cash in by playing games. Download the app, and you can enjoy some mindless fun and earn gift cards to Target, Walmart, Amazon, and other retailers.
