I’ll download any app.

If I see an ad orhear about an app, it’s going right on my phone.

I don’t care at all if it’s all a scheme to get my data.

A Dunkin' rewards ticker

Most of the time, I don’t get much.

But sometimes, I get free stuff!

I love trading my data and precious, finite time on this earth for meager rewards.

My favorite fast food apps

Here are my favorite ways to do it.

There are also point-enhancing promotions going on all the time.

Sometimes, you get bonus points for ordering a certain snack or visiting at a certain time.

Seated app

On Mondays you get 100 points just for mobile ordering.

It all stacks up pretty quickly and soon enough, you’re rolling in free drinks and bagels.

I usually get a dollar or so off every few visits at least.

Iris app

For a slightly different spin on getting free stuff from a food app, trySeated.

Again, I’veevangelized on this one before.

Again, you have to spend money to make money, but it’s better than getting nothing.

Mostly, I had to review products.

First, I’ve been messing around withGoss, which is similar in terms of possible rewards.

The best way I can describe it is like sports betting, but for pop culture.

Right now, I’m feverishly playing every day in the hopes of getting a Summer Fridays lip balm.

Could I go to Sephora right now and buy one for $24?

Is it more fun to answer questions, place bets, and gamify the whole ordeal?

Youcanbuy in-game currency with real-world money, but you don’t have to.

Second, I’ve gotten very intoIris, which is an even closer match to Influenster.

The nice thing about Iris is that you might’t even use real money to buy gems or boost yourself.

Thoughts on free-stuff apps

I understand that nothing in life is truly free.

But it’sfun,and that’s the point.
