I'm curious how everyone is getting rewarded for their purchases this month. What are some of the creative ways you are getting rewarded for your purchases? I mean if we are going to spend money anyway, shouldn't we be rewarded in return? And for me crypto rewards is a double bonus.
For example, I've started using a third party platform to purchase gift cards to places like Amazon and Home Depot instead of buying directly from Amazon and Home Depot.
Why?
When I buy gift cards I am rewarded with SATS (a fractional amount of Bitcoin) for each gift card purchase. The value of that reward changes with the price of Bitcoin and let me tell you it's been an exciting thing to watch these last few weeks.
Is it "big money" I'm being rewarded with? Nope.
Again, SATS are a fractional amount of Bitcoin so small amounts of value. BUT, I am in essence "stacking SATS" and since I was going to be spending the money at Amazon and Home Depot anyway, why not be rewarded?
I like to think of this as a side door into growing my crypto holdings. It doesn't require me to invest my own money to get started. I am rewarded for purchases I would have made regardless. So by changing my origin purchase destination, I am able to easily get into the crypto space. I've found it to be a low lift and simple way to passively participate in the Bitcoin economy.
Why blog about this topic?
It's a creative exercise to rethink and take a fresh look at what we already do on any given day and consider a different way, a different destination, a different mindset to doing them.
So what are some of the creative reward systems you've found to be earn rewards for something you are doing anyway?
