In addition, the sign-up bonus has been improved and can now be triggered by your first two orders, with $10 off $30 and $5 off $25 respectively. These offers work on all gift cards.

About the Snaplii App

Snaplii is an app for buying gift cards from many merchants. Its biggest selling point is the solid cash back: most gift cards offer 3.5%-10% back. The company originally operated in Canada, and now it is expanding in the US as well. Snaplii supports many merchants, including Visa gift cards, Amazon, AT&T, Apple gift cards, Walmart gift cards, Target, and various gas cards. Most gift cards let you choose a custom amount, so you can buy exactly as much as you plan to spend. That makes it very convenient. In effect, your purchases can earn both credit card rewards and Snaplii cash back.

In addition, Snaplii also supports WeChat Pay and Alipay, using a real-time exchange rate for transactions. That can be especially useful for people who have savings in China. You can put some spending in RMB instead of moving as many US dollars to the US for spending.

Sign-Up and Rewards

Right now, if you sign up for Snaplii with our referral code C1AC31, you can get three layers of rewards. Just pay attention to the order of use so you can maximize all three.

  • 【US】 Snaplii $5 coupon link (you can click either before or after registering; if you forget, you can also enter C1AC31 on any gift card purchase page)
  • 【Canada】 Snaplii $5 coupon link (you can click either before or after registering; if you forget, you can also enter DB2276 on any gift card purchase page)

Here are the registration steps:

Step 1: Download the app. Open the links below on your phone, or search for Snaplii directly in the app store.

Step 2: Activate the referral code to get three $5 coupons.

Step 3: Register for Snaplii. Note that if you enter a US phone number, you will be routed to the US Snaplii merchant catalog. If you enter a China or Canada phone number, you will be routed to the Canada Snaplii merchant catalog. You cannot switch between the two later, so choose based on your location. If you are in the US, use the US version, since Canadian gift cards may not work in the US.

All three coupons can be used directly on orders.

The coupons require a minimum purchase of $25. We tested them on a $30 Visa gift card, and they worked. You can also add the card to Apple Pay and use it anywhere Apple Pay is accepted. This Visa gift card goes up to $1,000, so there is quite a bit of room for interesting use cases.

Buying Gift Cards

Buying gift cards is very simple. Just search for the merchant you want and purchase from that page. You can choose a fixed denomination or a custom amount. For example, if you are checking out inside a Walmart store, you can simply enter the final after-tax total the cashier gives you. After you buy through Snaplii, it generates a QR code; just scan it, and once the amount is deducted, checkout is complete. Online works the same way: after purchase, the gift card is stored in your account and can be used at checkout.

Snaplii supports multiple payment methods, and the cash back rate may vary by payment channel. You can pick whichever works best for you. The app supports Apple Pay and PayPal, so if you have a credit card that earns bonus rewards on those methods or during a quarterly category promotion, be sure to use the right card. Also note that payment methods can vary by gift card, so check carefully when paying.

Using Cash Back

Right now, in the US version, Snaplii Cash can only be used when buying gift cards. Still, it is very convenient: you just check the box to apply it. Snaplii Cash posts instantly, so as soon as you finish one order, you can use it on the next order.

At the moment, Snaplii cash back can only be used to buy gift cards. If you try to withdraw it to a bank account, the app will tell you that this is not supported in the US version.

Snaplii says that keeping Snaplii Cash in your account can also earn rewards, so if you are interested, you can leave it there to earn something extra.

Other Features

Bonus Booster

Snaplii occasionally selects certain brands for Bonus Booster offers, which provide extra rewards.

Canada-Only Features

This app originally launched in Canada, so the Canadian version has more features. Here is a quick overview of the Canada-specific functionality.

  • As mentioned earlier, Snaplii Cash can be withdrawn to a bank account in Canada
  • You can also leave it in your account to earn extra rewards
  • Canadian users can also pay utility bills

Summary

This gift card app has a solid core feature set. You can earn cash back on all kinds of gift cards and save extra on spending. The cash back also posts immediately and can be used right away, which is much more convenient than programs that take months to post. On top of that, Snaplii keeps adding new features. Hopefully, the US version will eventually get practical tools similar to the Canadian version, such as utility bill payments.
