Shopkick (iPhone, Android, Free) gives users points (called “kickbucks”) when they walk into participating stores (partners include Macys, Crate & Barrel, Best Buy, Macy’s, American Eagle and Target), pick up merchandise by scanning the barcodes with their smartphone cameras and make purchases. Kickbucks can then be redeemed for rewards like gift cards and merchandise.
