App Review: Shopkick

Hello Lovelies ♡ Today, I want to take the opportunity to introduce to you a phone app called Shopkick. In this post, I'm going to explain everything that's great about Shopkick and why you should try this app too! I wouldn't suggest anything to y'all that I wouldn't use myself, but don't feel pressured to try it.

What is it? Shopkick is an app that rewards you for visiting some of your favorite stores and it's super easy to use. It's as easy as walking into a store or scanning a few items while you're walking around. You get points, which are called kicks and when you get enough kicks you can redeem them for real life items, like gift cards or even a cruise vacation!


How do I get kicks? Walk into a store or scan items that show up in the app! The app will show you how many kicks you will earn for walking into a store and how many kicks you can earn from scanning items at that store. Sometimes there are special days where you can earn more kicks such as 100 kicks just for walking into a store.


What do I do with those kicks? You can redeem them for gift cards or other real life items, such as an iPad, clothes, or Beats by Dr. Dre. Once you have enough kicks, you can redeem it for anything on the rewards list!


Why should I start using Shopkick? It doesn't cost you anything and you still get rewarded. Honestly, you get free stuff and who doesn't like free stuff? If you're at the store already and window shopping or just walking up and down the aisle, you can whip out your phone and scan a few items. Eventually you'll get enough kicks to redeem a gift card to spend at the store you choose. 


Here are some rewards that are available!

My Experience with Shopkick


I have been using Shopkick for over two years. My sisters introduced it to me and I have never been so grateful for them showing it to me. I haven't had to pay for anything from Starbucks in over two years because of this app, and to be honest, that's all I use my kicks on, gift cards to Starbucks. I always make a killing during Black Friday because they do special extra kicks such as 100 kicks for walking into stores and it's amazing. I don't have to do anything extra besides walking into a store or scan a few items when I walk around or when I'm waiting at the checkout line. 

Some cons about the app is sometimes I forget to take my phone out or open the app before I walk into the store. There are other times I will walk into a store but I don't get kicks, it bums me out, but to be honest it doesn't cost me anything extra, just a little bit of time. I'm glad to take a little extra time if I get free stuff for doing it. It takes a little while to accumulate kicks also, but again, I'm eventually getting free stuff, so it's worth it to me.

If you're interested in joining Shopkick, click this on your phone to start using the app. I hope you take into consideration in trying this app, because it'll be worth your while. ♡
