5 Ways to Earn and Save Money With Checkout 51

1. Grocery Receipt Scanning

Checkout 51 adds new grocery offers every Thursday at 12 AM your time zone.

Here are some important things to know about these offers:

• They have limited quantities – Once an offer has been redeemed enough times, it will be removed from the app and you won't be able to redeem it anymore.
• Some offers are only available to certain users – For this reason, your offer list may look different than your friends.
• You can filter them – Filter your offers by category (snacks, pantry, bakery, dairy etc.) or by store (Safeway, Walmart, IGA, etc.)
• Every offer has its own terms – Tap or click on an offer to see more in-depth details about it.

Tip: Make sure to read the details of each offer carefully so that you don't accidentally buy the wrong product. You must buy the exact product listed on the offer to be eligible for cash back.

Along with regular offers, there are some special Checkout 51 offers as well…

Barcode Offers

Barcode offers are special Checkout 51 offers that are only available within the mobile app.

When you redeem a barcode offer, along with having to upload your receipt you'll also have to scan the barcode of the product with your mobile phone. This helps Checkout51 verify that you purchased the right product.

Bonus Offers

Bonus offers allow you to earn a bit of extra cash back if you redeem a certain number of specific offers. You can find bonus offers around the top of the offers page of the Checkout 51 app or website.

Brand Programs

Brand programs occasionally show up on Checkout 51. If you join one, you'll get access to special, brand-specific offers.

Tip: To join a brand program, look out for a “Join” button inside of an offer.

Checkout 51 Sweepstakes

If you head over to the “More Ways to Save” category on Checkout 51, you'll occasionally find a sweepstake offer that gives you the chance to win $500.

To enter the contest all you have to do is submit a grocery receipt that totals over $60. You can only enter once per week.

2. Gas offers

These are currently only available in the U.S.

You can earn cashback on gas by simply viewing the Checkout 51 gas map, selecting a station and adding it to your offer list, filling up, and then scanning your receipt.

Note: You need to pay with a credit or debt card and the payment method must be visible on your receipt in order for this to count.

3. Online offers

Online offers are really easy to claim. If you shop through Checkout 51 at a featured online store, you'll automatically earn cashback. Just make sure you access the store through the Checkout 51 app otherwise it won't register.

4. Surveys

Checkout 51 surveys work just like the surveys you'd find on survey sites and GPT sites. If you're bored, they can be an okay way to boost your Checkout 51 balance, but they can be frustrating at times due to disqualifications.

5. Watch Ads

If you scroll to the very bottom of the Checkout 51 offers page, you'll find a “More Ways to Save” section with video offers that pay $0.03 each.

Checkout 51 Tips and Tricks to Earn and Save More Money

Ok, now that you know how to make and save money with Checkout 51, let's look at some tips to help you optimize those earnings.

1. Browse and then buy

Before you even create a grocery list, you should browse the Checkout 51 offers.

By building your grocery list around available cashback offers, you'll spend less on groceries but get just as much (or more) product.

Tip: Remember that the Checkout 51 offers change every Thursday.

2. Upload receipts asap

As soon as you get back home you should upload your receipt to Checkout 51. This way you won't forget and you won't risk losing your receipt or having your offers expire before you can redeem them.

If you're using other cashback apps in conjunction with Checkout 51, upload your receipt to those as well.

3. Look out for bonuses

Checkout 51 will often have one-time bonuses available if you shop at a specific store enough times or redeem a certain number of offers from a specific brand. Be sure to look for these and see if you can apply them to your shopping trip.

4. Stack your savings

Some — not all — Checkout 51 offers can be combined with things like coupons and other savings platforms. Be sure to take advantage when this is the case!
