Want to know how to save money and get discounts on your online subscriptions? Or how to get out of your next long, boring meeting? Or perhaps how to score a free dessert or a complimentary drink?
Recently, thousands of people shared their best-kept secrets when someone online went looking for unethical life hacks, and we rounded up the crème de la crème.
Now, we aren’t telling you to try every single idea on this list — though honestly, half of them aren’t even that unethical. Think of us as little elves delivering a gift bag full of tricks… because in these trying times, we could all use a little help.
#1
Start cancelling your subscriptions, even the ones you actually want to keep. A surprising number of services will suddenly offer you 20–50% off just to stop you from leaving.
I’ve found that the best deals are often hidden behind the cancellation button. Apparently being a loyal customer means paying full price, while threatening to leave gets you rewarded.
Just don’t click through the final cancellation confirmation unless you’re actually willing to lose the service.

If you plan on quitting a job in bad faith and never plan to go back or stay in contact with anyone there, tell everyone you’ll go pick up their lunch for them. After you collect the cash just leave and never come back.

Once you decide to move into a new apartment; before you sign the lease go introduce yourself to your neighbor. Tell them you will list them as a referral if they split the cash bonus with you.
You make a new friend and get money.

What makes unethical life hacks so fascinating is the gray area they occupy. Some people justify them as harmless and smart. Others view them as a slippery slope into worse behavior.
But where do we actually draw the line between moral and immoral?
Research shows that people don’t use a single rule to decide. While we often judge actions by whether they cause pain or suffering — like cheating on a partner or hitting someone — studies reveal that our sense of fairness plays an even bigger role.
For instance, hitting someone is considered wrong when it’s unjust, yet completely acceptable in self-defense. That’s why slightly shady life hacks feel so easy to justify. As long as a trick doesn’t feel deeply unfair to an innocent person, our brains are happy to let it slide.

You can order stuff on Amazon, Doordash, Target, Walmart, etc. and say you didn’t get it. If there is a picture of the delivery you can say that’s not your house/door. They will either send replacement or you can say you needed the item for travel, etc. and they’ll just refund you.

I don’t think it’s unethical but a lot of places email you a discount code if you leave stuff in your online cart, but don’t check out.

Fairness matters even more when you look at what people have been dealing with lately. With soaring energy bills, rising inflation, and wages that barely budge, the last few years have been rough on everyone.
While some families are forced to choose between heating their homes or buying groceries, others are looking for clever ways to stay afloat. Of course, most of the tricks on this list aren’t about breaking the law — they are simply smart ways to save money, time, or energy.
Even if a few people take things too far, these everyday shortcuts can genuinely help struggling folks stretch their budgets and get by.

If you’ve spent hours on hold with a government organization, try using the options to get you to a foreign language speaker, but not one that’s too common. The Spanish line might be as bad as the English, but the Tagalog or Cantonese or French might get you to a person a lot faster, and they will speak English just fine.

It also helps that most people feel zero guilt about bending the rules when the target is a giant, faceless company instead of an actual human being. In fact, pushing back against massive corporations has become almost a form of quiet protest, with some experts even calling minor retail theft “microlooting.”
Political commentator Hasan Piker captured this mindset well when discussing mega-corporations. “I’m pro stealing from big corporations, because they steal quite a bit more from their own workers. However, one thing that might even help your ethical dilemma is the fact that the automated process that they design, these companies know will increase shrink, right?”
“So it’s actually factored in. The lemons that you stole are factored into the bottom line of these mega-corporations regardless,” he said.

If you don’t buy the car rental insurance but you get into a minor scrape on a fender that’s gonna show and cost you an increase with your own car insurance, you can look on Facebook marketplace for whatever city your visiting and search “mobile dent and paint repair”.
Someone can meet you at your rental car and for a couple hundred bucks (more or less), they can quickly repair it well enough to pass the vehicle return inspection, and by the time someone notices it, they can’t determine who along the line of renters that repaired it.
It’s shady of course, but this is an “unethical life hack” thread.

Piker draws a clear line when it comes to community-run stores, noting he wouldn’t recommend stealing from a city-owned grocery store with lower prices because “that’s taxpayer-funded, it’s union labor, and the prices are also adjusted regardless.”
Research shows that psychological distance makes all the difference. Because huge companies feel cold and distant, our brains have no trouble justifying taking advantage of a loophole — even though almost none of us would ever pull the same stunt on a small, local mom-and-pop shop.
That is exactly why hitting the “cancel” button just to trigger a 50% retention discount, or guessing a random promo code at checkout, doesn’t feel like cheating.

If you are trying to end your gym membership early, and they’re giving you the run around or instructing you to go to your home club in person to cancel, find a city where there are none of those gyms and tell them you are moving there. They’ll have no choice but to cancel your membership.

Today, consumers expect giant brands to act responsibly on everything from fair wages to climate change. But when companies fail to live up to those standards — or raise prices to record highs — people feel far more comfortable bending the rules in return.
During the current cost-of-living crisis, some grocery store workers have even admitted to looking the other way when struggling shoppers pocket basic essentials. In the UK, Chief Inspector of Constabulary Andy Cooke even suggested that police officers should use “discretion” when deciding whether to prosecute people who steal simply to eat.

If your library has digital books online as epubs, they often forget to turn on protection against printing, so “print to pdf” creates a non-protected copy without technically breaking any rules.

Not everyone buys into the idea that bending the rules is harmless. While many people agree that massive companies shouldn’t hoard wealth — and that struggling families shouldn’t be punished for taking basic essentials — critics worry that glorifying these shortcuts sends the wrong message.
Some fear it nudges younger generations to take unnecessary risks or treat rule-breaking as an easy default whenever life gets tough.
Instead of relying on sneaky workarounds, some experts argue there is a more constructive way to hold giant companies accountable. “A much better approach would be to work together to clarify what businesses must do to fulfill the obligations of their social license. Rather than stealing from corporations, we should use our powers as consumers, workers, shareholders and citizens to push private sector organizations themselves towards behaving more ethically,” says Emma Borg. Director of the Reading Center for Cognition Research.

This hack is for all times: Once I found the correct levels of various medications, I lied and told the dr that I still needed higher doses. My prescriptions are filled at double what I need, the cost isn’t double the cost of the correct dose, and I get to stockpile the medication in case this dr no longer prescribes.

There is a huge difference between actual theft and simply using a self-check-out counter to your advantage. The grey area is exactly what makes this topic so interesting — and why a balanced approach matters most.
Ultimately, the smartest way to use any list like this is to keep your own moral compass intact — skip anything that causes real harm, and enjoy the loopholes that can save you time and money.

In some very specific cases, if you’re riding a train where a conductor checks the tickets, you can ride it for free.
Back in my university days, I figured out that the train coming into my station has already been on the road for a while and the conductor already did a pass of it and saw hundreds of faces and tickets.
I’d just board without a ticket, sit somewhere and ignore the conductor when he came by. Most of the times, he’d just pass me by and maybe one in 50 times he’d ask me “Ticket?” to which I’d just reply “Already checked.” and that was that.

If you work retail or hospo that had a rewards points system, and employees are allowed to join said points system, every time a customer doesn’t want to join and add their purchase to a rewards account, just add it to your own. A victimless crime, as you’re not stealing anything from the customer because they never had an account to begin with, you’re just saving rewards points that would have been wasted for yourself without having to spend any money.
Disclaimer that this only works if your corporate overlords aren’t completely psycho and actively monitoring employee accounts.

Most “Love Fridges” or DIY community food pantries are completely unsecured even at night. If you think it might be fun to put on a mask and gloves and sneak a bunch of food into the pantry at 1am when there aren’t any witnesses because it makes you feel good to, “Be like if Batman fought hunger instead of crime,” you can just do it. No one can stop you and the people who eat that food will never know it was donated by a weirdo.
Edit: It’s 2:15AM. My favorite neighborhood bar always keeps a couple shelves outside by one of their doors so people can leave and take non perishables as they need it. I just walked by after close and left six cans of soup and a couple pounds of rice for anyone who needs it tomorrow. I think one person at a bus stop across the street might have seen me, but I had my hood up and took a different route home. I’m confident in calling that anonymous.

The $2 meal steal at McDonalds (only slightly unethical):
my go-to in a pinch when I’m starving and just need a cheap option- the McDonalds app always offers some sort of freebies with min purchase, and free fries with a lot of sports promos rn so get a $2 mcchicken (or, like $2-something for a double-cheeseburger), free fry and keep a cup to sneak a free refill…. though many locations are onto this and have removed fountain drink stations, there are still many that do so have scouted them out in my area because I’m just that fn broke these days
Taco Bell Breakfast hack (entirely ethical):
Instead of ordering a combo ($7+), order separately and side eggs are like $0.30 each, side potatoes $0.60, sausage side $1.40, add cheese for $0.50, sauce is free
(( I’m sure Prices vary by region but you get the gist of it ymmv))

If you’re behind on credit card payments but still have room in your limit you can buy something expensive and then return it. It will then count as a payment for the current month and push the balance to the next statement. It could save you paying interest on it if you’re unable to pay off your full balance. You obviously still owe the same total amount that you originally did but have an extra month to pay whatever the amount was you returned.

99% of items you purchase either have no serial number linking them to your purchase or the serial numbers will never be checked.
Because of this, there’s no way to really know if the item a company like Amazon or Walmart receives in a return is the one that was actually purchased during the transaction in question. M
This would allow a person to purchase an item they need. Use that item as they wish and, in the event that the item breaks for whatever reason, a second item can be purchased. The broken item can then be returned under the assumption that it was the second item that arrived broken, since the second item has a new return period associated with it.

You can…or used to be able to..earn ridiculous amounts of airmiles for free by buying money itself from the US Mint.
If you had an airmiles credit card that gave you miles for spend, especially one that gave you 3x per dollar, you could order cash from the US Mint at a 1 to 1 rate plus postage. Use the credit card to buy the cash. Use the cash to pay the credit card. Earn the miles in the transation.
This is basically a net 0 spend of cash for miles, except for the postage which is negligible anyhow. A few dollars.
The first few folks to do this earned MILLIONS of airmiles using this trick. Flew first class all the time.
But then the airlines found out and started blocking transactions from certain vendors, including the US Mint, from earning miles.

Get a library card. Use the resources at the library at home like Kanopy and Libby. Cancel your tv and audible subscriptions. It’s not unethical, but if you don’t use the public library resources they might be cut out of the budget some day.

Not at all unethical. But, live well below your means and throw big chunks at your mortgage. Banks lend on the premise that they’ll make 3x their money back over the life of a mortgage. In a few short years you own your home outright, and ample disposable income to invest. My last mortgage, the bank made $8.4K profit, when the life of the mortgage called for $450K in profit.
