I’m Earning Box Tops 4 Education with @Jingit #jingit4edu #CBias

<—–Be Sure to Get Started With Jingit today. It’s free and helps you and your kids school!

One of the most rewarding gifts we can give our children is the gift of learning.

I’m a firm believer in that statement and have always played an active role in my children’s education. Something I’ve been doing for several years is collecting Box Tops for Education from our purchases (I always try to opt for those products with them.) Our school does bi-annual collections of Box Tops to help support the school and our kids, so we’re saving the Box Tops all year-long.

I recently found out about Jingit and I’m earning even more Box Tops 4 Education for our school with it in real-time! With the school year just starting, now is the perfect time to get Jingit and start earning for your school!

What is Jingit?

Jingit is a tech start-up company with both web and mobile applications that allows you to earn money and Box Tops for the school of your choice. It’s absolutely free to  you, and Jingit works with household brands like General Mills to pay you instantly with real cash. They pay you for doing the things you’re already doing: spending time online (watch a 30 second ad to earn real cash) and checking in while you’re shopping (use the mobile app to scan the bar code of participating products to earn cash and box tops!)

Jingit also allows  you to give feedback to participating brands, your voice and opinions matter. To access your cash, Jingit will issue you a debit card that holds your current balance.

Our Experience with Jingit

As soon as I found out about Jingit, I went to their website and registered. It was super quick, I just connected with my Facebook account, filled in some info and chose our school. As soon as that was complete I was able to start earning immediately!

I watched all of the available video ads and answered some brief questions afterwards. The money was there immediately afterwards. It’s not a lot, and definitely not a get rich quick thing – but those $0.30 cent accumulations will certainly add up (and I’m not wasting a bunch of time to get that.)

The Jingit app let me earn even more plus some bonus box tops in the process. There is a check-in feature on the app that lets you scan bar codes of participating items (there’s a list – no guesswork) and earn both cash and box tops. We headed out to Wal-Mart to check it out.

Making it Fun

Since shopping isn’t my sons favorite thing I decided to turn our Jingit trip into a game. A scavenger hunt, if you will. We traversed Wal-Mart, phone in hand, to hunt down the different products on the list. The first item was Totino’s pizza – which is a staple in the house – so we headed over to the frozen foods section, clicked on “Check In” on the app and followed the prompts. The total process took about 45 seconds – if that; so quick and painless!

We went on to the next items on the list that were close by until we had exhausted the list of food items (and the boy). At that point we decided that coming back at a later time would be best – so we’ll be finishing off the list really soon.

You can also earn from Jingit on Walmart.com! Go here and look for banner ads on participating products with a Jingit curl. This lets you earn and donate even more!
