Cashback and rewards apps are a great way to pocket extra cash. But you also have to learn to use them responsibly. Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the shininess of earning money back — even if you’re spending unnecessarily. Remember to read the offer’s fine print and before purchasing a specific item to pocket the Cashback compare prices of other brands.
