Do you ever look at your credit card statement and laugh at how often you spend money at the same four or five places? I definitely do. I have my favorite spots that are part of my daily routine and I’m always trying to think of ways to make my money go further, but I’m not willing to give up those purchases that are a normal part of my week. So rather than skip my morning coffee to save a buck, I use Drop.
Drop is an app that lets you earn points when you shop at your favorite stores. All you have to do is link your credit or debit card. Once you sync with Drop, you then select your five favorite stores. Then, any time you use your card at one of those five stores, you earn points that can be redeemed in the form of gift cards. It’s literally that simple.
For me, there were almost too many options to choose from when selecting my five stores. There was Dunkin’ Donuts, which was a no brainer since I need my coffee every day. Then there was Uber, which I always end up taking even when it’s not in my budget. And of course I had to include Seamless, because I’m never in the mood to cook when I get home from work. To round it out, I chose Chipotle, my go-to lunch spot, and Target, which is where I go for everything else.
All I had to do to start earning points was go about my normal life and I saw the points start to roll in with each purchase. I knew I was spending a good amount of money at those five stores, but I had no idea how easy it would be to start getting rewards points. And if I want to earn even more points, Drop is constantly sending me additional offers from other brands that I love, like BirchBox and Boxed.com, so I don’t just have to rely on my five main stores. Since I started with Drop two months ago, I’ve already used 10,000 points to get a $10 gift card at Amazon. It’s that easy!
With Drop, I see all the deals available to me in the app and I can keep track of them in one convenient location. I’ve been trying to tell as many of my friends as possible to try Drop because there’s zero downside and it takes almost no effort at all to earn points. I can’t imagine I’ll ever stop using it. It’s literally the easiest way I’ve ever earned rewards points. I even get offers for new deals to earn more points at other places like Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Since signing up with Drop, I know I’m getting getting the best bang for my buck.
