Recently, there have been some great Target store coupons on Shopkick, but if that hasn’t enough to entice you to join, Shopkick is now offering a FREE $25 Restaurant.com gift card to Deal Seeking Mom readers just for trying it out.
So, what is Shopkick?
Shopkick is a FREE mobile app for iPhone or Android devices. After you join online and install the app to your phone, you’ll get rewarded with Kickbucks for simply walking into participating stores. You can also earn Kickbucks by scanning with your phone select products in-store.
If you need more reasons to sign up, Shopkick rewards members with exclusive coupons for participating stores like Target, Macy’s, Crate & Barrel, Best Buy, and 1,000 other favorite stores. Your cashier will simply scan your mobile device to use your Shopkick coupons in store.
There’s nothing better than walking into a store to buy something and your phone rewards you with a special coupon you didn’t expect.
What are Kickbucks?
Kickbucks are like money that you can only spend in the Shopkick Rewards store on your mobile app. You can use them to splurge luxury items from movie tickets for a date night or Coach handbag for yourself. There are tons of rewards to choose from, including gift cards.
Ready to get started?
Sign up online first to get your FREE $25 Restaurant.com gift card and then download the mobile app to your phone and set up your account. Your gift card will drop into your Shopkick account once you walk into a participating retailer. The easiest one to try is Best Buy, since they have this feature enabled nationwide, but look on your Shopkick App for more participating retailers!
What a few extra Kickbucks right now?
If your friends are on Shopkick, you can get share codes to get an extra 50 Kickbucks. If you don’t have any friends using Shopkick, you can use my code: fox8981. You have 24 hours after downloading to the app to enter one promo code and earn 50 extra Kickbucks!
Where do I enter my Bonus Code?
Once it’s downloaded, the app launches and for 24 hours you should see a “do you have a promo code” banner on the top part of the “nearby” section. Just tap on the nearby, then the banner on the top. If you do not see this, don’t worry. Just send an email to feedback (at) shopkick (dot) com letting them know you missed it.

I used to have this app on my phone, but I got a new phone and need to re-download it. When I tried to use the link it said that my phone number was already registered. Do you know if there is a way to un-register my number so I can start over and get this offer? Thanks.
Beth @ In Good Cents
Amy, to be honest, I’m not sure. I’m sure there is a way to sign in online and cancel your account, then register again. But, I’m not sure if it will just reactivate your account if you do that, like some systems. You could always sign up your husband, if you’re married!
kathleen
where do i enter your code? how do i get the gc in an email?
Beth @ In Good Cents
Kathleen, enter your code on the app on your phone under “My Stuff” and the gift card will come to the e-mail address you used to sign up online when you clicked the link above.
Jen
Thanks! I just signed up, but can’t figure out how to do the share codes and enter the promo code for the extra 50?
Beth @ In Good Cents
Jen, enter your code on the app on your phone under “My Stuff”. You can click “invite friends” to get your code to share with others, plus e-mail, SMS, or Tweet your friends to invite them to sign up.
Beth @ In Good Cents
Jen, I got more information, so I could help you out. Once it’s downloaded, the app launches and for 24 hours you see a “do you have a promo code” banner on the top part of the “nearby” section. So, tap on the nearby, then the banner on the top. If you do not see this, don’t worry. Just send an email to [email protected] letting them know you missed it and you’ll get credited your points :)
Nicole
I didn’t see where to add the code under ‘My Stuff’. Does anyone know how long it takes for the gift card to show up? I don’t know if I signed up correctly!

I cannot get this app to download onto my android. I’ve tried doing it throuh the text msg they sent me and through the android market. neither will work. Is anyone else having this problem??
Vicki
Where do I enter your code “fox8981” for the extra 50 Kickbucks?

Jaime
Yeah, Stacy, me too. This isn’t the first time that I’ve been denied access to apps, even though I have an android phone. What a shame. I was really looking forward to this one.
Niki
I’m having problems with the extra 50 kickbucks as well. The app says if you receive a promo code go to the profile tab & tap on the “Got a promo code?” icon in My stuff, but I don’t have that icon. Only thing I see is invite friends & the promo code I’m suppose to send to people. So Idk how I’m suppose to enter codes. =(

Ty Beth. But the banner I have under the nearby section is to nominate shopkick for some award lol. I’ll keep checking it for a little while & if it doesn’t change I’ll email them. When I email them do I give them the code I was suppose to get points for? Also just went out & used it for the first time earlier, do you know when you get the $25 gift card? Ty for your help Beth!! =)
kara
I am having the same problem as Niki above. The only option I have under “My Stuff” is to invite friends. I am using the app from the Android Market.
Patty
The opportunity to enter promo codes only lasts 24 hours so if you waited more than a day, you will not be able to enter a promo code. Feel free to use my code if you want (vesta3114). In the interest of full disclosure, both you AND the person giving you the code receive 50 kickbucks each.
If you can’t see any promo banner, hitting the menu button on your phone while in the app will prompt a menu that might point you in the right direction. (I have an android)
I have been using this app for over a year now and I’ve cashed out more than $300 in gift cards to Best Buy and Target. They’ve recently added Toysrus which is extremely helpful with the holidays coming up!
