Trick #2: Smart Phone Rewards

G'day folks,

You know that little device you hold in your hand/pocket that does just about nearly everything?  Not only can your smart phone take quality photos, message/call anybody around the world at any time, and allow you to spend way to much time on social media, it can also make you money! 💲

In a previous post I shared my top 10 "tricks" for pursuing a work and travel life. Today, I am going to explore another one of those "tricks" in more detail: Smart Phone Rewards.

Greg (hubby) has a Samsung Note 5, and we use Samsung Pay at any check-out that will accept it. 

Tip: if a cashier says "our machines don't accept that", always try it! From our experience, many cashiers don't realize their credit card machines accept Samsung Pay and are pleasantly surprised when they see that it works. 😏   

It may seem like a humbug to research and learn about how to pay with your phone, but you will reap solid rewards.

To put it into perspective, for using Samsung Pay (which is free to use!) over a short period of time, we received a $50 reward to use towards anything we want, anywhere we want.  It paid for one weeks' worth of groceries and a bottle of Whiskey. Win! 

Another example: last weekend we received a $5 voucher thanks to Samsung Pay, and used it at the hairdressers to pay for half of Greg's haircut.  Hey, every bit counts, right?! 😉


Who else uses their smart phone to pay for items?  If so, which country do you use it in?


Have a great week!
