COUPON QUEEN: Walmart Cash is a freebie to use

Over the years, I've shared all about the rewards programs at stores such as Walgreens, CVS, and Giant Eagle, but did you know that Walmart has a loyalty program, too? Their program allows you to earn cash-back rewards while shopping for everyday items. Let me tell you all about Walmart's new Cash program. What is it? Walmart Cash is a program that rewards shoppers for shopping and is open to anyone. All you need is a free Walmart.com account. Hundreds of items offer rewards across every category in the store, including personal care items, groceries, household essentials and more. You can save on popular name brands such as P&G, SC Johnson, and Unilever, and many of these offers are available only at Walmart. While Walmart Cash isn't technically cash, it can be redeemed like cash online or at any Walmart location, and the rewards don't expire. Where can I find the offers? If you are shopping online, click on "your account" and then look for the Walmart Cash button on the left-hand side. You will see your current balance, lifetime rewards, and all eligible items when you click that. If you are on the Walmart app, you'll also find this list under your account. When you open the app, your account button is in the bottom right corner. How do I get rewards? Once you locate the offers, you can browse by category or search for something specific. Once you have located the product, click the "Get Walmart Cash" button to claim the offer and save it to your account. Once you buy the item, that money is deposited into your account. Offers can range significantly. I've seen offers for as low as 50 cents and as high as $20. Keep in mind that you can only use each offer once, no matter how many of that product you bought. How can I redeem credits? When you are ready to spend your points online, sign in to your Walmart account and tap "apply" next to your Walmart Cash under the payment section. If you are shopping in-store, sign in to your account on the app and use the Walmart app scanner on your phone's camera to scan the on-screen QR code at the register. Tap "Use Walmart Cash" to redeem your balance via a Walmart e-gift card. Can I stack my savings? Stacking in the coupon community usually means using a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon to double the savings. Since Walmart Cash is a manufacturer savings, you can't use additional manufacturer coupons on the same products. It's important to note that some of these products may also have offers for cash back on Ibotta. However, you cannot claim both a Walmart Reward and Ibotta rebate at the same time. I have used the Walmart Cash program for a few months now and love it. I use it most when shopping online as I find it easiest. If you want to save a little extra money with minimal effort, you may want to try it. It's free money, after all.
