A lot of the major retailers (including Amazon!) have price adjustment policies that state that if an item you bought drops in price within a certain period of time , then they’ll refund you the difference.
Similar to Trim, Capital One Price Protection (formerly Paribus) is a convenient and totally free bot that will do the heavy lifting for you.
Try it out; who knows how much you’re owed! It could be a quick way to “earn” (back) $20, $30, or even to make $500 fast!
If you live in an expensive city, you know how valuable parking can be. If you live downtown, renting out your parking spot will make you real cash, fast.
If you leave with your car on the weekends, try an ad in your neighborhood to list the spot as available. Put that parking space to work! Or even during the weekdays when you’re out of your spot, if you find someone that has the opposite commute and wants to park at your place, you can make some quick cash every day.
32. Rent Your Home on Airbnb or VRBO
This can work if you have somewhere else to stay for a week or so while someone else lives in your home. Or you could rent out a room in your basement or attic, assuming you have the right facilities.
Another thing to consider is combining this with idea #11 up top, House-Sitting. You could arrange house-sitting at someone else’s house for a future week, and rent your place out simultaneously. It’s possible you could make money on both sides.
If you live in the right place-a city, the beach, the mountains, or even by a lake during the summer-you could create a nice stream of extra income this way and make money while you travel and your home is vacant.
33. Rent Your Car on GetAround or Turo
If you have your own car, you could earn extra cash letting someone else drive it for the day. Peer to peer car-sharing apps like Turo and Getaround allow you to rent out your car for quick money!
Getaround provides an alternative to the big rental car chains. You can list your car, set your own rates, and all drivers are pre-vetted with insurance in place.
Turo is another popular app to list your car and rent it out to people for easy money. If you have a special or unique type of car, these can make you more money than a common economy car.
34. Put Ads on Your Car
I can understand your reluctance in doing this, but you could find some easy money in it. A few platforms will outfit your personal vehicle with ads for a company. You would get paid for providing the mobile ad space. You can start the process of advertising with your car at FreeCarMedia.
What I love about this idea is that you get paid while doing something that you’re doing anyway-driving. If you’re already commuting a lot or driving for work, e time.
35. Sign up for Rakuten
Just about everybody knows about Rakuten-formerly eBates. This browser extension collects rebates as you shop online. Normally they’re just a few percentage points, but the cash can add up to good money over time.
You could get a monthly check or an electronic deposit. If you’re buying something expensive like a refrigerator or a laptop, your monthly Rakuten deposit could be a lot bigger than you expected. You can request cash back in the form of an e- gift card.
