If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know I set myself monthly goals and share the results. It helps me stay accountable and motivates me to achieve my goals. One of these is usually to make some extra money online. In January my extra income goal was to make £200. I made £294.70. Here’s how I did it:
Free Spins
Coral – £2.58
In January I played the Coral Rewards Grabber promotion every day. You use a grabber to select a symbol and reveal if you’ve won free spins or casino bonuses.
Ladbrokes – £3.93
Ladbrokes have an Instant Spin Wheel that I also played every day in January. You can spin to win free spins, casino bonuses and cash prizes.

If you have any issues around gambling it may be best to avoid these types of promotions.

Total – £65.67
Surveys
LifePoints – £5.00

Receipt Scanning
Storewards – £2.00
Referral code – s394z – Get 250 extra coins
Storewards has the lowest cash out threshold of all the receipt scanning apps I use so despite doing most of my shopping online this month I managed to cash out £2 in Amazon vouchers.
Shoppix – £5.00
Shoppix allows you to earn tokens for scanning receipts, completing surveys and rating your experiences of retailers you’ve shopped with. You also earn scratchcards and win additional points.
SnapMyEats – £10.00
SnapMyEats is my favourite receipt scanning app. You scan your food and drink receipts and earn a £1 reward credit for every 3 valid receipts you submit per month. If you submit the maximum 15 valid receipts in a month you earn £5 so it’s really easy to build up credit and claim you’re reward.
HuYu – £5.00
HuYu has been a bit of a slow burner but I cashed out my second £5 Amazon voucher in January. You earn points for scanning receipts from certain shops and completing surveys.
Total – £22.00
