KEEP AN EYE out for strays for possible cash: If there’s no owner around,
do NOT hesitate and get that dog/ cat. For one it will now be safe from
cars and whatnot, and would be better off under your protection. Then
contact the owners and cross your fingers for a reward or some kind of
compensation for your good deeds!

PUBLIX flu shot: Publix will pay you $10 to get a flu shot, visit all Publix’s
in your area and get free money from multiple shots.

AMAZON and discover card scam: With the 5% cash back discover card,
purchase items on amazon and then return them for amazon credit,
discover won’t find out about it and you’ll make 5% whatever you spend!

AMAZON return scam: Find really cheap items on amazon, and return
them to Walmart or wherever for profit via gift card. If the % of profit is
high enough, then sell those cards to websites that sell em for a certain
% cheaper than face value.

UNIVERSITY book donation bin: Most university’s have a donated books

bin where students donate their books for other students in need. Some
books in the bin can be sold back to the schools bookstore, for usually
around $80. If not, sell em on eBay!

Free food/drinks:

POPCORN at movie theatre: Go to your movie, wait a little bit into the
previews. Then search the trash cans for a bucket of popcorn, or the
largest popcorn that theatre sells. (It’s almost always free refills for a
large). Pull it out, put it on the ground and step on it. Go to the
concession stand and say “Hey, can i get a new bucket, some asshole
stepped on my popcorn”. Tested and approved by yours truly, it’s
worked every time and i never pay for popcorn now.

KRISPY KREME dozen donuts: Go to Krispy Kreme and apply for a job.
Just simply applying gets you a free dozen donuts!

ANY MEAL, at nearly any restaurant: Bring an already dead insect such
as a fly, spider, beetle, moth, anything, and put it in your food when you
are 3/4 of the way done with it. Act disgusted, saying you don’t want a
new plate and you are grossed out and just want to leave with your
refund. Obviously won’t work if you say were in a different culture and
that insect was supposed to be part of the meal.
BREAKFAST food: if it’s early, and your hungry but broke, swing by your
nearest hotel that has complimentary breakfast and eat up! Tested and
approved by yours truly.

GUM from gum ball machine: put super glue on a quarter and glue that
sucker in the quarter turn dial thing, let dry, it will now keep forever
spinning and you get free gum balls!; This can potentially be used or
free money as well, if you find a gum ball machine that has the plastic
balls with money in it as well as gum balls.

COFFEE from a walk in coffee shop: Go inside, wait for a min, and then
go to where the customers get their drinks from the barista and claim
you’ve been waiting 15min for your beverage. They will now serve you
first as you’ve already waited long enough and you’ll get a free coffee!

COFFEE from at least Starbucks. Bring a $100 bill with you, they do not
accept 100’s but your coffee will be made and you’ll get it for free.

ALCOHOL/BOOZE from a mini bar at a hotel: open all vodka, Jin, or

whatever is clear booze is available, replace with water and then return
to fridge. Bring tea or food coloring for more options. Tested many
times, and approved by yours truly.

Free stuff:

AIRLINE ticket from another country: When flying out of your own
country and going to another for some vacay, don’t buy a ticket back.
Look up the countries laws and do just barely enough crime to get in
enough trouble to where they deport you back to your home country.
But don’t do so much that you end up in prison! Careful!

AIRLINE tickets free 1 way: Have a buddy use his card to by you and/or
your so or friend to buy the airline tickets. After you fly, making sure you
buddy is staying behind, needs to then report the card stolen and get a Top Posts November 8th 2018

can receive the item, return it, get your money back and keep the Conduct
product for free.

GOODWILL or Salvation Army & Kohl’s scam: Get any pair of pants you’d
want at goodwill or Salvation Army, any size, as long as Kohl’s carries Back to Top
the brand. Return them for a pair of brand-new pants to the size of your
liking.

ANY SUPERSTORE item scams: Go to your desired superstore and pick

out your desired merchandise. Go to the dog food isle and find a big
bag of dog food that you can most easily open and reseal. Open, put
merchandise inside, buy dog food. For extra safety, get a cart, and get 2
of each desired item that you want. Get dog food and put one of each
inside the bag. This way it’s not nearly suspicious as say you picked up
$100 headphones went to the dog food isle and it disappeared, your
still buying it and is hard to tell on camera how many you actually
grabbed. Make sure put the merchandise in the bag of dog food in the
dog food isle, no one steals dog food and it has minimal camera
coverage and security measures compared to the whole store. Purchase
your dog food and merchandise, now if an alarm goes off they won’t
even check. If hey do, you have merchandise that could possibly go off
anyway. Return your duplicates of your desired merchandise for a full
refund whenever you feel like it. I’ve worked at many superstores, they
won’t check the dog food haha. Tested and approved by yours truly.

BATTERIES from amazon: Purchase batteries on amazon. Once received,

return the item. They will give you a full refund and let you keep the
merchandise.

WINDSHIELD repair/ new windshield: Find one of those trucks that says
“How’s my driving? Call 1-800-blahblahblah”. Call the number and say
the truck launched a hug rock at your windshield and it needs to be
replaced, they will replace it free of charge and the driver will not get
penalized.

SENDING MAIL: No need to buy stamps, just put it in the mailbox with
the return address as the location where you want it to go. It will then
get “returned” to the address for free.

VIDEO GAMES by redbox: Rent your desired games from redbox, report
card stolen. Pretty much a one time use.

LAUNDRY MAT service: Coin operates washers and dryers can be

manipulated for free use by taking a cue tip, ripping off the cotton, and
pushing it into the coin slot repeatedly and it’ll read it as quarters.
PARKING at some airports and parking lots: Basically works anywhere
that has a unmanned ticket station. Before leaving, walk to the entrance
and get a new ticket. Your time is now reset.

AMAZON PRIME .edu email scam: Get a free 6 months of prime by

applying to online community colleges, possibly enrolling in a free class
if needed so your able to have your own .edu email. Or just figure out
how to make one haha. Amazon gives college student a free 6 months.
Do this twice a year, free prime for life.

FREE MARIJUANA!!!: Go to an app/website to where you can search for

people needing roommates and whatnot. Find any that say 4/20
friendly. Call and say your interested and would like to check it out.
Guaranteed, those guys will get you utterly stoned, they want you to
rent out that room! Then leave and go to the next 4/20 friendly house,
and get even more hi!!!

ADDITIONAL tips for free money, food and the goods, all from the
comments. Keep in mind that they don’t all have to be good, and highly
practical, there’s still a chance to get caught just like every tip I’ve listed.
Please don’t criticize other people’s top ideas, just criticize mine. Oh and
my spelling and grammar!

Free food and drinks continued:

ANY MEAL DISCOUNTS, best case scenario free it’s free, but you could
get a discount or a coupon[from u/Yus_Gaming]: Politely tell your
waiter/waitress “I have been here many times, and never had a
problem. (maybe some compliments as well). But this is the worst food
I’ve ever tasted”. This will get you what you want.

CHICK-FIL-A free extra food(probably works in some other places)[from

u/Yus_Gaming]: CFA has a policy to where they can’t take back food that
a client opened. If you nicely complain that they didn’t make it right,
toppings, ect.. If your an asshole they will take it back and throw it in
the trash though. APPROVED by me, as i used to work there and saw it
done many times.

GOOD CHANCE FOR FREE fast food, especially @ CFA[from

u/Yus_Gaming]: Go through the drive through, and when you approach
the window (edit from OP, just adding to make sure the fast food place
doesn’t have a pay window and a food pickup window for best chances)
act like you forgot your wallet, and you should get free food! APPROVED
by me, especially since my boss specifically told us to do it.

MORE FREE FOOD, sounds obvious, but people tend to frown upon
it[from u/Yus_Gaming]: Obtain your free food by going to soup kitchens,
food banks, food pantry, and many churches also have potlucks. Some
smaller churches also have free food after each service.

STARBUCKS FREE coffee, improved[from u/Kakuzi457]: Starbucks

employee here. The simplest way to scam the system for a coffee, is to
walk into starbucks, preferably when it’s super busy, and stand at the
end of the bar where the drinks are being handed off. A lot of the time,
we will have to call out somebody’s drink more than once because they
didn’t hear their name called, their in the bathroom, etc... Really all you
have to do is wait until you see a drink you like, and just take it if
nobody else has.

Free stuff continued:

MOVIE TICKETS for friends at almost all theaters, requires two

purchased tickets[from u/Leobreaker]: Two people buy tickets, and
enter the theatre. One stays behind holding the seats, while the other
takes both stubs out of the theatre, grabs the desired person you came
with, and re enter. Repeat as many times as desired for more people.

BASEBALL TICKETS for friends at almost all games, requires two

purchased tickets[from u/Yus_Gaming]: It’s the same concept as the
movie theatre tickets, buy two, have someone leave with both and sneak
each person in one at a time!

FREE MIRROR from Walmart.com(works for most all glass items)[from

u/megookman]: order mirror online, then claim it arrived broken, they
will let you keep it and refund your money.

FREE AIRSOFT gun from amazon(which you could sell)[from

u/D4rkenedMatter]: purchase an expensive air-soft gun on amazon, and
upon arrival claim the gun to be defective. Due to the customs
regulations in the United States, amazon will just refund your money
while getting to keep the gun. Use it if you want one, or sell on eBay for
cash. Tested and approved by myself, without trying to scam amazon.
Free money continued:

USING WHISPER (an app) to scam guys for cash[from u/Leobreaker]:

Download whisper. Take advantage of desperate horny guys buy asking
for amazon gift cards for in exchange for nudes, by creating a fake
profile and posing as a hot chick. Once money is received, Then send
em nudes, and talk a little dirty if you want. (I’ve heard you can actually
make a good amount of money this way, and you can always sell those
gift cards online for cash, and i forgot about this one)

GET CASH from returning an item[from u/chewy_rat]: When returning

an item, tell them your card was canceled and your waiting for a new
one. Most of the time, they will give you cash.

This next one made me laugh, thought it would be funny to put in.

FREE MONEY from OP(me)[from u/trenchknife]: Beat the shit out of OP,
and take everything off him including his clothes. Don’t kill him, so your
way less likely to get in trouble. Spend his cash, sell his ID online and
give anything else nice to your local homeless person.

DISCOVER CARD gas scam[from u/Yus_Gaming]: Since discover has 5%

cash back for gas purchases, go inside and ask them to put 100 on
whichever pump. Whatever you don’t pump, say there’s $60 left, it gets
refunded but you still get the 5% cash back on the 100. To take
advantage, this can be done several times in a row and you can pump a
few cents in, then claim you accidentally absentmindedly put the pump
back, put another 100 on and repeat as many times as you feel
comfortable doing. (Note: there is a max cash back and i believe it’s 2k
per “5% gas cycle”) TESTED AND APPROVED by me for three year in a
row.

This isn’t the end! There’s more coming soon, so stay updated! Keep
commenting free money life hacks!

Illegal life pro tips story.

I actually just did this last month. I opened an account with US

bank using fake ID. Deposited close to 2,000 in cash over the
course of a month. Then after building up legitimate account
activity I used the debit card at an apple store 50 miles away.
Bought a MacBook Pro and called the bank after getting a
fraud alert. They then filed a dispute and released the
authorization hold on my card. I withdrew the funds. Then they
provisionally credited me for the dispute. I withdrew those
funds as well. Effectively I got double my money back and a
free MacBook Pro. Then I went to the post office and got postal
money orders. I used mobile check deposit to “cash” them and
withdrew the funds before heading back to the post office and
cashing them again. Since mobile check deposit you still have
the actual check this scam is pretty easy. They postal money
orders will bounce once they catch the double presentment but
because the account has exactly 3 cents in it right now they
won’t get the money back. Thanks to fake ID I won’t get in
trouble either.

When my girlfriend can't find her card she just reports it as

lost. A replacement is usually sent the same day via first class
so she'll have a new one the next day.

badgurlvenus · 4 yr. ago

it’s also not a good way to make money. it’s only free if you file it
on insurance, so you’re up $10. but without insurance, you’re
looking at $20-$50 out of pocket. insurance will reject the claim
if you try to file again.

also i’d like to see the sucker who braves 5 flu shots in a short
amount of time. my shot this year made my arm sore from my
finger tips to my shoulder blade and triggered my carple tunel,
both lasted 2 weeks.
