7 Mistakes KashKick Beginners Make and How to Avoid Them

When you’re new to KashKick, it’s easy to just dive right in and start clicking around. We don’t blame you. KashKick is super easy to use, and you’re ready to make some extra money!

But there are a few small steps we don’t want you to miss. Rookie mistakes, we’ll call them. They won’t take long to complete and could really help optimize your earnings.

Mistake 1: Ignoring the Profile Survey

Skipping the profile survey might feel like no biggie, but it could limit your earning potential on KashKick. You’d also miss out on a very easy $1 bonus. 

That’s because completing your profile unlocks survey access, and KashKick uses your answers to match you with the best, most relevant offers. After all, if you live in Texas, it’d be annoying to see an offer only available to Californians.

👉 What to do instead: Fill out every section of your profile honestly. It’s quick and ensures you see the offers most relevant for you, plus you’ll unlock rewards with each profile you complete!

Mistake 2: Not Allowing Tracking

When you sign up, KashKick will ask to track your activity. Since you see this on so many apps and websites these days, you might automatically opt-out. It’s important to enable this feature.

KashKick uses this information to track your game and deal progress and confirm your activity so you can get paid. For example, let’s say KashKick rewards you for reaching a specific level in a game. To confirm you’ve reached that level, you’ll need app tracking on.

No need to be wary. We only use tracking to confirm your activity and reward it. Here’s exactly what we track and why.

👉 What to do instead: When you download the app, KashKick will ask you if it’s OK to track your activity. You’ll want to accept. If you missed this step or opted out, use these tracking guides for iOS or Android.

Mistake 3: Skipping Over Offer Requirements

Excited to play a game or claim an offer? Take a beat to read the requirements first! KashKick is rooted in transparency, so it spells out exactly what you need to do to earn rewards. Some offers require you to reach a certain game level, make a qualifying deposit or subscribe to a service.

KashKick never wants to bamboozle you, so just be sure you know exactly what you need to do to get paid.

👉 What to do instead: When you tap into an offer or game, you’ll see Key Points that provide a nice overview of the deal or offer. Scroll down to find more details. For example, on games, you’ll see a Timeline that outlines the exact steps to complete alongside the earnings.

Mistake 4: Forgetting to Install the KashBack Extension

Shopping online? The KashBack for iOS mobile extension helps you earn rewards on purchases you’re already making. There’s a Chrome and Edge version for desktop, too. You can unlock exclusive deals, and coupons are automatically applied at checkout for instant savings.

Even better: When you enable the KashBack extension, activate an offer and make your first purchase, you can get a cash reward.

👉 What to do instead: To get the extension, follow the KashBack setup guide for iOS or Chrome and Edge.

Mistake 5: Gatekeeping KashKick

Referring your friends to KashKick is one of the easiest ways to supercharge your earnings. When your friends join KashKick with your unique referral link, you’ll get 25% of their earnings from game challenges and deals, and it doesn’t cost them a thing!

👉 What to do instead: Tap over to My Kash to see your referral totals. There, you’ll spot the “Refer a Friend” button. Copy your referral link and send it over to them. (Via text is probably easiest!)

Mistake 6: Ignoring Your Emails

We get it. Your inbox can become an overwhelming place, but you’ll want to be sure to open KashKick emails. Inside, we share intel on high-paying offers, bonus opportunities and tips to maximize your earnings. 

👉 What to do instead: Haven’t seen an email from us lately? Make sure they aren’t getting shuffled into your spam folder. You can also check your email preferences under Account Info in the KashKick app to ensure you’re subscribed.

Mistake 7: Not Checking in Daily

KashKick is constantly adding games, surveys and offers, so check in daily to see what’s new. You also automatically get entered into our daily giveaways of cash prizes. Just by opening the app, you build your streak, too, which gives you more giveaway entries.

👉 What to do instead: Add KashKick to your morning scroll! Make KashKick part of your a.m. routine, right after you check your texts and right before you open Instagram. You can also move the app to your home screen so it’s visible and top of mind.

💰 Now that you’ve avoided these simple mistakes, it’s time to dive in and really start earning with KashKick! Once you hit $10, you can cash out.
