If you’re shopping at a variety store for everyday essentials, chances are you’re already scoring deals. But what if you could stretch those savings even further—without changing how you shop? That’s where cashback apps like Fluz come in. Whether you’re buying cleaning supplies, school gear, or home organizers, Fluz gives you instant cashback simply for paying with a gift card.
Here’s how to turn your regular variety store run into a reward-earning opportunity, all while keeping your total spend the same.
What is Fluz and how does it work?
Fluz is a cashback app that lets you earn money back on purchases by buying digital gift cards in real time. Instead of swiping your credit card at checkout, you use the Fluz app to instantly generate a gift card for the amount of your purchase and pay with that instead.
Many major variety stores participate, including:
The cashback is typically credited instantly and can be used toward future gift card purchases or transferred to your bank account.
Why use gift cards instead of paying directly?
Fluz turns the act of paying into a money-saving move. Instead of spending $20 on cleaning products and walking away with just a receipt, you’ll walk away with $20 worth of items and a few dollars in cashback. You can then use that cashback toward your next purchase.
It’s especially helpful for frequent variety store shoppers who stock up weekly or monthly.
How to get started in 3 easy steps
- Download the Fluz app.
- Search for your variety store in the Fluz directory
- Buy a digital gift card for the exact amount of your total at checkout and use it to pay
That’s it. Your cashback will appear in your account immediately after the transaction is complete.
Combine with in-store deals for maximum value
To maximize savings, pair Fluz with store-specific promotions. For example:
- Dollar General offers digital coupons through their app
- Family Dollar has Smart Coupons that stack with sales
- Five Below regularly rotates trending items and seasonal discounts
You can use Fluz gift cards in combination with these offers, effectively double-dipping on savings.
Is it really worth it for small purchases?
Absolutely. Even a 3% cashback on a $10 purchase adds up over time. And since there’s no upfront cost to use Fluz, every bit of cashback is pure savings. The real benefit becomes clear with repeat trips—especially if you’re managing a household, stocking up for school, or planning seasonal projects.
Can I use Fluz in-store and online?
Yes. Most participating variety stores accept Fluz gift cards both in-store and online. When shopping online, simply copy and paste the code at checkout. In-store, show the digital barcode to the cashier or key in the card number on a keypad.
Pro Tip: Plan your total before checking out
If you know your purchase will be $16.47, you can buy a Fluz gift card for that exact amount at the register. There’s no need to overbuy or carry a leftover balance.
