Fetch is America’s Rewards App 

There’s no better way to celebrate American independence than with America’s Rewards App. Fetch lets you earn rewards on all the purchases you’re already making online and in person. So before stocking up on 4th of July party food at the grocery store, be sure to download the app (it’s free!), and check out your personalized offers that will help you earn the most rewards. 

Once you’ve made your 4th of July grocery list in the app, head to the store to pick up the food and drinks on your list, and then snap a picture of your receipt with Fetch after checking out to claim all your points. It’s that easy!

Snap every receipt every day, watch your points balance climb, and redeem your Fetch points for free gift cards to the likes of Amazon, Visa, Target, Starbucks, and so many more.

4th of July Drink Ideas to Help Beat the Heat

Pop the top off of your 4th of July with your favorite beers, seltzers, and more in the app. From special offers on summer-y beers like Miller Lite® and Blue Moon® to points on summer’s hottest new hard seltzers from Topo Chico™ (here are some refreshingly easy hard seltzer cocktails you can whip together for your guests), you’re sure to find something to quench everyone’s thirst. 

Fetch Pro Tip: Sort your special offers by category to find beer, seltzer, and more in a snap!

Looking for Non-Alcoholic 4th of July Drinks?

There are also plenty of non-alcoholic drink options that will earn you rewards in the app. Hydrate your friends and family with sparkling or mountain water from Liquid Death, replenish partygoers’ electrolytes with Gatorade, or opt for all-American backyard party staples by stocking the cooler with plenty of ice-cold cans of Mug Root Beer, Sprite, or Coke. 

4th of July Food & Snacks That’ll Be the Life of the Party

It’s 4th of July, so you know the drill and likely already have your favorite foods picked out. If not, never fear: our “Fail-Safe 4th of July Food List” below will get you sorted out!

If burgers are on the menu for the cookout (of course they are!), remember that no burger is complete without your favorite condiments from Hellman’s®. Search for the brand in the app to find special offers on mayo, BBQ sauce, drizzles, and more.

Speaking of burgers, why not go above and beyond this year with Beyond Meat. It’s usually a good idea to have a vegan/vegetarian option, making Beyond Meat perfect for grilling parties. Find offers and details in the app, plus a delicious recipe for a California Cookout Classic Burger

Use Fetch Gift Cards to Fuel Your 4th

Grill-outs, pool parties, and fireworks? That’s a lot of celebrating. Our gift cards will help you get through the day and then some. You could redeem a Starbucks™ or Dunkin’® gift card and fuel up in the morning. Grab a CVS® gift card for those last-minute essentials, like sunscreen, bug spray, and even more sunscreen. And as always, you can turn your points into cash with a Visa cash card to fund whatever the 4th throws at you. Whatever you need, Fetch has you covered. 

Refer Friends and Family to Fetch to Earn More Rewards

Sure, you can earn huge points on special offers and score awesome rewards in the app. But if you want to rack up a ton of points in a single night? Refer your friends to Fetch. Let everyone at the party know that when they sign up using your referral code and snap a receipt, you’ll get a whole bunch of points and they will, too. 

Celebrate America by Supporting a Cause That’s Important to You

Feeling inspired to help your fellow Americans this 4th of July? You can support dozens of charities in the app with a points donation. Protect America’s water with a donation to Clean Water Fund. Or, support families in poverty with a donation to Habitat for Humanity.

Find these organizations and dozens more in the Charities category on your Rewards tab.
