Eight Apps I Use to Get a Ton of Free Stuff ...Middle East

It's not hard to get me to download an app. If I see an ad for one, it's going right on my phone. I don't care at all if it's all a scheme to get my data—my data is out there, baby, and it's too late to care, so I might as well reap all the benefits these flash-in-the-pan, VC-bolstering programs can give me.

Most of the time, I don't get much. But sometimes, I get free stuff! I love trading my data and my finite time on this earth for meager rewards. If you do too, here are eight apps I use all the time to get free stuff, from food to more tangible goods.

The best apps to get free food or drinks

Dunkin'

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. On Mondays, you get 100 points just for placing a mobile order. Soon enough, you'll rolling in free munchkins.

Right now, the app is offering up a free double cheeseburger or six-piece McNuggets when you buy one. I also have enough points for two McChickens or a large iced coffee. Every dollar you spend earns you 100 points, but as with the Dunkin' app, you also get bonus points for fulfilling certain stipulations, like double points on breakfast orders. The first time you pay through the app with your linked card, you'll also get 1,500 points, which is enough for a cheeseburger.

Seated

For a slightly different spin on getting free stuff from a food app, try Seated, which I've also evangelized for before. What sets it apart from other restaurant-affiliated apps is that the free things you get for using it don't come from the restaurants themselves. Instead, you get a percentage of your money back every time you use the app to make a reservation and eat a meal, which you can then spend on gift cards for businesses like Uber, Amazon, and TJMaxx—or just have it deposited back into your checking account as cash. Again, you're spending money to make money, but it's better than getting nothing if you're spending anyway. I have gotten hundreds of dollars back from Seated and turned that into hundreds of dollars worth of free stuff.

Claim

While you can only select and use one claim per week, you can earn additional claims by inviting friends to the app. You pick the establishment you want a claim for—right now, choices include Starbucks, Chipotle, Blue Bottle Coffee, Dunkin', and more—and the place you want your friend to get their free claim for. Once they use your referral and link a card to the app, you both get a bonus claim.

The best apps to get free stuff

Influenster

I'm way into makeup and personal care items and I'm always looking for ways to get my hands on more. Years ago, I downloaded Influenster, an app that promised free samples in exchange for a little effort on my part in the form of reviewing products within the app. After earning up some cred within the app, I started getting free stuff sent to me, with the caveat that I would thoughtfully review it. There were other tasks I could complete, like creating public Instagram posts about products, but I declined—that's not my style. Even without completing those challenges, I have gotten a ton of free stuff. I even secured a few lipsticks from Revlon that I ended up liking so much I've consistently repurchased them in the years since 2017. Great app.

Iris

I am earning gems at a rate you wouldn't believe. Credit: Lindsey Ellefson

Drops are quite limited: One may only have a few pieces available, so you have to order it the second it hits your phone, unless you're saving your gems for something major. Right now, I'm entertaining the delusion that I'll earn 45,000 gems fast enough to snag the final remaining Dyson Airstraight, a hair tool that costs $500 in the real world. The nice thing about Iris is that you can't use real money to buy gems or expedite your progress. You really do have to do it all on your own, and you'll pay nothing out of pocket.

Goss

Goss is similar in terms to Iris in terms of possible rewards, but your earn them very differently. The best way I can describe it is like sports betting, but for pop culture. By using in-game currency to place bets on things like how many likes a celebrity's Instagram post will have within 24 hours or who will be voted off a reality show during its next episode, you'll acquire a different in-game currency that can be traded for real-life products. After a few (very fun) weeks of betting a while back, I earned enough to get a Summer Fridays lip balm. Could I go to Sephora right now and buy one for $24? Absolutely I could. Is it more fun to answer questions, place bets, and gamify the whole ordeal? Absolutely it is.

Now the bad news: The app is down for scheduled maintenance as of this writing, and won't be back until August. I've been missing it since it disappeared a few weeks ago, and am eagerly awaiting its return so I can use my accured in-game currency to buy some self-tanner and a tote bag.

Yes, I know nothing is really free

By choosing apps that line up with the things you'd already be doing or spending money on—in my case: buying makeup, walking to Dunkin' twice a day, and wasting time on my phone—you can earn free rewards, and make the most of your routines and idle time. Life can be a downer, so I might as well find ways to turn a mundane task into free perfume.
