My experience

I usually shop at Walmart and Target for groceries. Before I go grocery shopping, I scan through Walmart and Target’s grocery list and write down items I am interested in.  Rebates for certain items vary. It can be $0.25 cents to $10 dollars or more. However, depending on where you shop, rebate money can add up quickly.  Once I shopped at GNC for  Yacon Syrup that cost me 25 dollars.  I redeemed $10 rebate from that purchase. So, this app is pretty cool.  All you need to do once you have purchase your items is click on an item that you want to redeem.  Click on the any little icons below the item image, scan your item or items through your smart phone or tablet and then take a photo of your receipt and wait for approval.

Host Your Space for Extra Money

 

Have extra space to rent out?  This might be a good choice for you whether you are renting a empty bedroom or renting your whole house for travelers.  You can rent out your unused space to pay your expenses or fund your next vacation.

I found this website three months ago on the web.  It never came to mind to rent my space at first because I was very reluctant to share my space with complete strangers. However, with Airbnb, I was able to get to know my guests through verified profiles and confirmed reviews which was splendid.  So, for a couple of months, I just rented my bedroom space to several travelers from various countries to get a feel of the company.  Later, I decided to become a host.  The great thing about becoming a host is that Airbnb will definitely inundate you with various tips and resources to help you start as a host. I definitely encourage anyone to read their Hospitality Standards and you can also download their app on your tablet or phone too and list your space there and find info about becoming a host in addition to using their service to travel on trips for others to host you too.

Why Host?

As a host, you can bring the world to your doorstep because you know your area better than anyone and you will be able to enjoy many travelers from all over the world.

As a host, you earn extra money and rent your space for whatever amount you please but at a reasonable price of course.  You can start earning money within the first or second week of signing up.  I did.

Again, you can get to know your guests through verified profiles and confirmed reviews.  Fortunately, Airbnb offers property coverage for up to $1,000,000.

Airbnb Host Tips

Understand the guidelines of Hosting: Make sure you covered every aspect that comes with hosting such as reading their Hospitality Standards. Again, you are protected by the $1,000,000 Airbnb host guarantee.

• Showcase the good, the  bad and the ugly: Make sure you are showing off your space with accurate photos such as only taking photos of areas that are only available to guests such as the bedroom, kitchen or balcony area.  In addition, include information about what to expect from your space.

• Check rules and regulations:  Are you allowed to sublet your space? Check your lease or local regulations in addition to reading  Airbnb's terms and conditions.


• Secure your valuables: Don't leave anything valuable or that is of significance to you laying around.  When hosting strangers, you are bound to have your house at risk, no matter how friendly they appear to be.


• Make sure your place is immaculate: First impression is imperative as a host. Make sure your house or apartment is spic and span.


• Be hospitable: Make sure your guest or guests feel welcome and at home. Offer a small and inexpensive welcome gift (like a bottle of wine), or a special gift for a couple who just got married and on their honeymoon.


• Communicate and communicate well: Thoroughly stress to your guest about what your expectations are during their stay.
