$106 & free insect repellant.

I optimized the scam I wrote about a week ago. I returned to get more ice cream but redeemed the offers up to the cashback limits this time. I got a solid $50 again, baby. So that was $100 total from my Ibotta cash-back adventures (use referral code xpfeqyi for $5 more at sign up).

But the twist here, I started a new side hustle. I’m mystery shopping now. I tested the Field Agent App. It’s been a few days since fruit flies infested my apartment, so I wanted to get some insecticide. Lo and behold, I got an alert to shop for some Raid products just days after getting the Field Agent app. Algorithm, are you listening to me? I also want cash, google.

I am still pretty new to this mystery shopping. So far, here is the gist – I go to stores, buy some products or look for products, upload pictures and receipts to the apps & get reimbursed + paid. So I got refunded for my insect repellant products plus $6 for my product review. I tried it out, and it has been legit thus far, so I will do it more. A win-win if I have ever seen one.
