Cash-back programs should be amazing: Earn free money just for buying the same stuff you normally do.
But here’s the catch. A lot of so-called cash-back rewards apps don’t actually pay cash. Instead, you’ll earn points, or zoinks, or whatever other buzzword your app uses for “not cash.”
Once you’ve accumulated enough fun bucks, you can usually trade them in for a gift card, but there are typically extra steps along the way, like scanning every single one of your receipts.

Fortunately, Dosh is different.
Download, connect and earn free money
Dosh gives you cash back — real cash, not points — when you shop, dine or book hotels, both in-person and online. There are no hoops to jump through, and Dosh is totally free.
To get started, take 20 seconds to download the Dosh app from the App Store or Google Play. Once the app is installed, create a Dosh account and link your preferred credit card or a digital payment service, like Venmo or Jelli.
Now just spend money at any one of Dosh’s 10,000 partner brands — including Walmart, Walgreens, PetSmart, Nike, Instacart, GNC, Dunkin’ and Disney+ — and you’ll automatically start earning cash back.
Once you’ve earned $25 with your Dosh account, you can transfer your balance directly to your bank, PayPal or Venmo. (Or, if you’re feeling generous, you can donate some of that cash to charity.)
That’s all there is to it. Just download, connect and earn free money. Simple, right?
