The Deal:
The Cash App Card is a debit card that rewards you with either cash or Bitcoin for spending on the card. The most lucrative rewards come in the form of a “Boost” – These are elevated returns for a specific purchase. This is where the Cash App shines.

- Scroll to find the Boost of Interest
- Click on the Boost of Interest, Read the terms, and then Click on “Apply Boost”. Now you will see that the boost has been added to your card, along with how till it expires.
Hacking The Deal:
Hack #1 – Get the Cash App New User Bonus
Currently, there is a referral-only offer where you can get a $5 bonus for sending $5 to someone using the Cash App (within 14 days of creating your Cash App account). I only use this for the cash back and Bitcoin boosts (5% – 25% back on spend). Also easy way to transfer money to another user.
- TIP: Turn off the ability for others to request money from you by:
- Go to profile (upper right hand corner)
- Click “Privacy & Security”
- Under Requests, toggle the “Incoming Requests” to off
Hack #2 – Use Shopping Portal
Before going to the merchant to make a purchase in person, see if (A) they have an online presence, and (B) there is extra cashback for using an online shopping portal. My current favorites are:
Hack #32 – Buy Gift Cards
To lock in the discount, buy a gift card for the max spend amount from the vendor, if they offer gift cards!
