Hidden deals inside the apps you already use
Everyone loves a deal — but sometimes the best ones are hiding in plain sight. From your phone bill to your gym membership, many apps you already use have free perks, discounts, and even cash back offers if you know where to look. Here are some of the best hidden places to check:
Cell carrier apps
Verizon’s My Access section includes free gift cards, discounted concert tickets, and rotating perks.
T-Mobile’s T-Life app is famous for “T-Mobile Tuesdays,” but it also offers deals on hotels, rental cars, and more.
Gym apps
Planet Fitness members can unlock special offers, including two months of Apple Music for free, inside the Planet Fitness app.
Credit card apps
American Express, Chase, and Citi all provide cash back offers — but you have to activate them before you shop.
PayPal
Open the PayPal app, tap the “Offers” tab, and activate cash back deals before you check out.
Target Circle
Free to join, Target Circle hides special offers under the Wallet tab. Be sure to activate them before you shop.
Samsung apps
Samsung Wallet has a “Perks” section with cash back and promos.
Samsung Members also features a “Benefits” tab with exclusive deals.
Disney Plus
Visit disneyplus.com/perks for freebies like six months of DashPass, two months of Super Duolingo, and three months of Kroger Boost.
Uber & Uber Eats
Inside the Uber app, tap Account → Wallet → Promotions or Partner Rewards.
On Uber Eats, tap Account → Uber Eats Promotions for hidden discounts.
Restaurant apps
Just about every fast food and fast casual restaurant app offers a sign-up bonus for first-time users — usually free food or a big discount on your first order.
These little-known offers can add up to big savings — especially when you’re getting a deal on something you were already planning to buy.
