Buy or sell $100 in crypto to get $10 BTC. ~~~ Review ~~~ Coinbase is a crypto broker/trading platform. Coinbase is one of the easiest and most intuitive platforms for new crypto holders to use. You can also earn rewards by learning about or staking different cryptos. It's also really easy to get assets on and off the platform with a variety of transfer options available. The learn and earn function is awesome and well worth having the platform for by itself. Coinbase will periodically give you free crypto (usually $3) for learning about the tokens. I recommend selling these as soon as you get them though - because so many are being given out for free, they almost always drop in value immediately after. Still, free money! Once you are more confident, I would strongly recommend using the attached Coinbase Pro exchange for lower trading fees. However, please be aware that Coinbases trading fees are still higher than other platforms on the market, even on Pro. I would still recommend using them because they have a great selection of assets, the free crypto earning feature, and it's just really convenient to use as far as getting funds into and out of the platform.

Raise is a marketplace that offers discounted gift cards at various popular stores. You can often save 5-15% off your purchases simply by paying with discounted gift cards. They frequently have promotions for 5-7% off gift cards as well, but popular cards sell out quickly. An absolute game changer, (almost) everything just costs less to purchase now. The referral provides $5 Raise Cash (credit you redeem for gift cards on their site).

Deposit and trade $100 USD to earn $10 BTC. ~~~ Review ~~~ Gemini is a crypto broker that offers a variety of services, including trading, an interest account, and a crypto credit card. They are US-based and have a strong emphasis on regulatory compliance and security. A recent comprehensive review rated them as one of the most secure places to earn interest on crypto assets. They are one of the few large crypto platforms still offering an earn function on crypto assets. Their rates are more conservative than other platforms, but they are also one of safer platforms available to store your assets. Unfortunately they recently made changes to introduce crypto transfer fees, which is a shame because the free withdrawals were one of the major selling points of the platform. They have a great UI and reasonably low trading fees so I would still recommend them. If you are comfortable with exchange interfaces, be sure to enable their "Active Trading" UI for lower fees. You can also consider using an order that doesn't trigger immediately, such as a limit order, to ensure you are charged the lower "maker" fee on their platform.

Honey is a shopping extension for your browser that has a variety of useful functions. It can search for coupons, tell you if the price is higher or lower than normal on an item, and track prices for you. It's a great idea to check the price history of an item before purchasing to see if it's gone up or down in the preceding 3 months. It also offers cash back at some retailers in the form of Honey Gold, which you can redeem for gift cards. The real secret tech is the gift card purchase feature though - sometimes Honey offers discounted gift cards at different stores and you can save 8 or 9% off the purchase price at checkout. Awesome feature, super useful extension.
