If you are new on FlipGive your should know this: The holiday season is the time of the year when FlipGivers raise the most cash for their team. Between all the gifting that needs to be done, the hosting, the decorating and the gathering, there is plenty of cash to be earned. How you might ask? Here are 10 things you can do to crush your team earnings this holiday season. 

1. Max is your holiday helper

Download Max, our web browser extension, and he'll notify you every time you visit participating sites so you don't miss out on extra cash for your team.
