Boost your Fetch points balance for Black Friday

There’s only a couple weeks until Black Friday arrives, but that’s plenty of time to earn some extra Fetch points to help fund your shopping adventures. Here are a few tips to maximize your Fetch points ahead of Black Friday.

Shop your offers in the Fetch app

There’s no faster way to max out your Fetch points than by taking advantage of your in-app offers. Offers can earn you thousands of points for a single purchase, and you can stack as many as you’d like on a single receipt. Find offers personalized just for you on the Discover page in the app.

Buy brands in the app

You’ll earn points for every dollar spent on hundreds of brands in the app. This is a great way to earn more on every purchase, even if you’re not redeeming a specific offer. Check out the Brands tab to see all your point-earning brands.

Bring friends to Fetch

Did you know that you can earn points by referring friends to the app? When they sign up using your referral code and snap a receipt, you’ll both get points. Share your code or QR code as many times as you’d like. Find your code on your My Account page.

Pro-tip: Screenshot and print your QR code, put it on your desk at work and earn points while getting paid by your boss. 

Redeem your favorite Fetch gift card rewards early

Once your points balance is sufficiently boosted, it’s time to redeem your points for free gift cards. There are hundreds of rewards to choose from in the app. It takes 3 days for gift card redemptions to process, so be sure to plan ahead, so your rewards are ready to be used on Black Friday.
