Hip2Save team members & readers are loving how easy it is to earn with Shopkick! 

I had tried using Shopkick in the past and wasn’t really able to “get into” using it the way I had other apps. But I recently downloaded it again, and WOW. There are so many great offers to be found! In just the last few days I’ve scored canned pineapple, face wash, hand soap, and other things – all free or close to free after cash back! Shopkick is quickly working its way to the top of my app list, and I love the added extra of a few kicks just for finding and scanning the item in-store, even if I don’t end up buying. Hip Sidekick, Liza


Shopkick is one of my favorite cash-back apps. I love the variety of products and the variety of retailers. I’ve scored kicks on everything from services at Ulta’s salon to household essentials at Costco. I like that you can choose PayPal as a cash-out option for when I don’t need a gift card and prefer the cash-back go right back to my bank account. You’ll also usually find high-value receipt kicks and, even better, offers with limits of 5 or offers for each variation of a product making it super easy to stock up for cheap! – Hip Sidekick, Elizabeth 


I have been using Shopkick for years. It’s one of my favorite apps to collect gift cards to help out with my daily expenses. Before Covid-19 I collect one to two $25 Amazon.com gift cards a month. Now, it takes about one and a half months to earn one $25 gift card since I go out shopping less. I try to earn points while shopping in-store and pass by it like next door to where I was shopping.

Here are some tips: Ulta Beauty and sometimes Hallmark has the highest point to collect per scan. Walmart and Best Buy have the most available to scan, but usually small points per scan. Some have problems with walk-ins like Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, Carter’s, and OshKosh B’gosh. No points were given multiple times even after reporting them. I hope these tips help beginners to the Shopkick app!


I love Shopkick. I don’t go out of my way to scan things but if I’m already in the store then I do it. You do get more kicks for buying the things you scanned when you submit your receipt.


I absolutely love Shopkick! I live near a lot of the stores that offer the kicks. Many times, I don’t even have to get out of my car… all I have to do is drive past a store to get my kicks!


I also love Shopkick! I’ve earned over $1,200 over a few years. I live near a shopping area that has many stores within walking distance. I’m able to get my daily steps in while earning Shopkick points. A WIN-WIN!

    HI, sounds great, but doesn’t work for me – i’m existing shopkicker and i put the code in and it says ‘sorry, you can’t apply this promo code!”

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Oh bummer! Sorry to hear the code isn’t applying for you, LH. You might try checking back again in a bit to see if it works then. 🤞 I did check with the team, and it does still appear to be working for existing members—but if you’ve redeemed a promo code in the past, that could be why it’s not applying this time.

    • Shopkick

      Hi LH! This is the Shopkick Team. Were you able to use the promo code? If not, just reply to this comment with your user ID (it’s an 11-digit number under Settings) and we’ll help you out. Thanks for being part of our community!

          SO sorry, LH. Maybe check back again in a bit. Hoping it works for you soon! ❤️

  2. Diane

    I was not a member. I signed up today and the code isn’t working for me.

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Sorry for any issues, Diane. 💕 Did you receive an error message with the code? Just a heads up, for the points to populate, you’ll also need to scan 5 products within 14 days. 🤗

    • Shopkick

      Hi Dian, this is the Shopkick Team. Just checking in, were you able to redeem the promo code? If not, feel free to reply here with your user ID (it’s an 11-digit number in Settings) so we can help you out. Thanks for being part of our community!

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      You’re most welcome, Cathy! ❣️

  4. Debbie

    It worked for me, but not my sister. Maybe it’s random 🤔

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for the update, Debbie! Glad it worked for you. Hoping it might still work for your sister if she tries again! 🤞 We did double check that it is still valid. 💕

    • Shopkick

      Hi Debbie, thanks for reaching out! We’d love to help your sister redeem her promo code. Could you please send us her user ID? (It’s an 11-digit number found in the Settings section of the app.) Thank you!

  5. Rebecca

    I was already a shopkick member, and I’m the only one logged in to my account. However, when I try this code, I get the error message, “Too many shopkick accounts are logged in to this device.” Maybe too many people have already used the code?

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      DARN! Maybe try logging out and then back in again. Hoping that might do the trick! 🤞 In the meantime, we’ll take another look at this! Thank you!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi Rebecca! This may be working again as we did hear from another reader that it recently applied for them! 🤞💕

    • Shopkick

      Hi Rebecca, hello from the Shopkick Team! Were you able to use the promo code? If not, please reply to this comment with your user ID (an 11-digit number in your Settings) and we’ll assist you further. We appreciate you being part of our community!

      • Rebecca

        No, it still won’t work for me. My user ID is 77987500287. Thanks!

  6. Kathleen Miller

    Once I have enough shop kicks–I use it for groceries.. That money I then saved on the groceries goes to pay off my house.. Hey every $50 helps!! WIN WIN!!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      How cool! Thanks for sharing how it is helping you save and pay off your house faster! 💕🙌 SO smart!

  7. Ande Hawks

    ShopKick says to many people are logged in using this code. Won’t work.😢

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Bummer! It seems another reader found that message too. I’ll pass this along to the team to look into. Thank you for the heads up! SO sorry for the issues!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hello again! You might try once more as another reader was able to get this to work now! Hoping you can grab it! 🤞❤️🥰

    • Shopkick

      Hi Ande! The Shopkick Team here. Did the promo code work for you? If not, no worries, just reply with your user ID (you’ll find it in Settings) and we’ll be happy to help. Thanks for being a part of the Shopkick fam!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Oh good! You’re SO very welcome! Thanks for letting us know it worked for you!

  9. Rebecca

    Just signed up and tried using the code. Unfortunately it says, “Sorry, you can’t apply this promo code.” Bummer!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hey Rebecca! You might try back again soon as this one can be tricky to snag. Hoping it works for you soon!

  10. greentree40

    Just signed up for the first time and tried to use the code. Received the following message: Sorry, you can’t apply this promo code!
    Any help is appreciated; user ID is 103130922967.
    Thanks!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Sorry for the issues. Maybe wait a bit and try back again. It seems this one can be tricky to grab.

  11. Shelly Paulus

    Thanks Hip2Save Team, mine worked!! Appreciate all that you do to help save!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      I’m so glad it worked for you! You’re very welcome!

  12. Shelly

    Thanks Hip2Save Team, mine worked!! Appreciate all that you do to help save!

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      You’re SO welcome, Shelly! Happy to hear it worked for you! 💖

  13. Jiya

    Do shop kick offer kicks on fresh produce? There were few apps giving the incentives for produce purchases. Do you have to keep the location services on & allowing access to your phone? Thanks!!

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Great questions, Jiya! ☺️ Shopkick sometimes offers kicks on fresh produce, depending on your store and current promotions—so be sure to check the “Nearby” tab in the app to see what’s available. To earn kicks, you’ll need to keep your phone’s location services on, and allow access to your camera for barcode scans or receipt uploads. The app uses GPS, Bluetooth, and even audio signals to detect when you’re in a participating store. 💗

  14. Oz2448

    I can never get their codes to work, so frustrating I can’t even find where to send them a message

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Sorry for the troubles with applying the code. ❤️ If you’re on a mobile device, once you click through the link above, click on the three lines menu in top right-hand corner, then “Support.” Scroll to the bottom on that page to click “Contact Us” and send a message. Hopefully you hear back soon for your account. 🤞

  15. pat

    problem with shopkick is that the stores never carry the products that are available to scan.

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for sharing, Pat! That does make it tricky when the scan items aren’t easy to find. Hoping they continue to expand the product selection so more options are available in stores near you! 🤞

  16. jackie

    need to go to 2 store but got the 5 buck yesterday thz

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      YAY! 🙌 Happy to hear you were able to score the $5, jackie! You’re welcome!

  17. Kristi

    Thank you for sharing the code! I was able to add it but did not get any points credited. Oh well! Looks like a fun app anyway!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      You’re welcome, Kristi! It seems this has ended. We’ll keep watch for when it might be available again. So sorry for the issues with the code. ❤️
