My grip on the ol’ purse strings could not be any looser right now. In fact, as we hurtle through the festive season, the purse is wide open, upside down and cash is falling out. Post-lockdown catch-ups! Christmas parties! Gifts! It’s costing a bomb. And now that La Niña has shimmied in and thrown a wet blanket all over our summer plans (AKA soaking up that sweet – and cheap – vitamin D) the spend-a-thon doesn’t look like it’s stopping anytime soon.
Whether it’s to update your summer wardrobe with more appropriate numbers for La Niña, order food in when you can’t face the howling weather outside, or just to pass the time havin’ a cheeky online shop, you‘re defs chucking some extra cash towards trying to salvage this summer. (Who knows, you might even need to buy a raincoat, gumboots and bloody tarp while you’re at it?)
But, there’s a way you can be rewarded for all the spending that (let’s be real) you were probs gonna do anyway. You can earn some cashback, baby! The new Aussie app Cheddar lets you chalk up extra cash as you spend up a storm – so you’ll finally be rewarded for the shopping you do, instead of just copping a judgemental look from your colleague that’s clocked another package arriving for you.
If you’re unsure how earning cashback works (tbh, I had always pretended to know up until now) it’s basically what it sounds like. So, when you buy yourself something nice via an app like Cheddar, you get a percentage of the price you pay back in your pocket.
Plus, there’s the added perk of not having to hunt down discount codes or enter them at checkout. Instead, Cheddar brings a bunch of limited-time offers and discounts from over 600 brands into one place. You just scroll through, like you’re on social media (truly, there are ‘stories’ up the top with epic deals), save any offers that tickle your fancy, or click straight through to ~seal the deal~.
And if you’re thinking the brands might be more of your mum’s cup of tea than yours, don’t worry. It’s got the goods for you my young, hip friends. Across fashion, beauty, travel, food and drink, you’re covered. We’re talking Menulog, Glue Store, Culture Kings, P.E Nation – the stuff you really do spend stacks on.
There’s a $50 sign-up bonus for our pals so if you’re a fellow big spender, click here.
Cheddar is only available for iOS users. Cheddar Terms of Use, and Merchant Terms & Conditions and Exclusions apply. See full Terms & Conditions on the Merchant deal page, inside the Cheddar App.
