Best for travel
Dosh
Overview
Like Ibotta, Dosh helps you earn cash back with many popular retailers — but its dining and hotel partnerships make it one of the best cash-back apps for restaurants and those who want to earn rewards on travel.
To use Dosh, download the app and link your credit and debit cards. You can also link Dosh to a mobile payment app like Venmo or Jelli. When you use a linked card or payment app to make a purchase at a retailer, restaurant or hotel that offers Dosh cash back, your earnings will apply to your account.
You can shop major retailers and make hotel reservations directly through the Dosh app. Once you have a $15 balance, you can transfer your rewards to PayPal, Venmo or a linked bank account. You can even donate your earnings to charity.
Dosh does have some downsides. It doesn’t let you link Discover cards to your Dosh account — which could be a problem if you like to use the popular Discover it® Cash Back to earn rewards. If you want to ensure you earn hotel loyalty rewards from a Dosh booking, Dosh recommends you talk to the front desk and request they add the rewards to your account.
