Survey Sites & Apps
QuickThoughts
This is an app for both Android and iOS; if you have Android, you can redeem Amazon gift cards from it, and iOS redeems into Apple Store credit. You can cash out every $10 earned, and it's instantaneous!
It has surveys that usually pay $2 each, and it gives a good estimate of the time required for each survey so you can pick and choose which will give you the most value for the least amount of time. A survey disqualification is $.10, so if you disqualify 5 times, you still get an easy 50 cents, which adds up!
Since the beginning of January, I've made almost $300 on this app alone. I've even gotten surveys that qualify me for other online discussion groups that pay out monthly, and I've also received free products to test at home.
This one has reduced its earning opportunities in the past few months, but I am hoping it picks back up soon because it's been a great earner for me. I've earned $250 from it within the past year.
I usually start out by doing my To-Do List on the home page and after that, I click on the "Videos" tab on top and open one of the Smores playlists and let it auto-play. Pretty soon, I earn my daily 25 cents without much effort. This doesn't have great earning potential, but it's easy and every 10 days that I reach this goal, I get a bonus.
I haven't explored the site too much, but there are surveys, other videos, free trials, as well as paid emails (Ernie Mail) and bonus codes that you can enter on the site to redeem for money (bonus codes are usually found on their social media pages).
This one is fairly easy, but a slow earner. You can do the daily tasks, which usually consist of taking a short quiz or clicking a link, and after doing this several days in a row, it gives a bonus. You can also search on Bing to earn points. Once you earn 5250 points, you can redeem them for a $5 Amazon card. I'm really lazy about doing this one, but in the past year I've redeemed $90.
This is the gist of the site:
They send surveys to your email to usually ask about products or advertisements, and sometimes they'll send you the product to test it out. Each survey pays $3, and there are a lot of ways that you can choose to redeem your earnings.
This site will also send surveys to your email, and each has a different value payout. The surveys usually will disqualify you fairly quickly rather than waiting until the end like other sites, so it doesn't waste your time. You can cash out starting at 625 points, which is the equivalent of $5.
Here are a few other survey sites that I use that all essentially do the same thing:
And here are some other survey apps I've used that you can also use to earn some extra money:
Qmee
Survey Monkey Rewards
Hatch (the icon is a white egg with an orange background)
(I have more installed on my phone that I haven't tested. If they're good, I'll add them to the list!)
Rebate Apps
These apps allow you to scan your receipt after shopping to get cash back on certain products.
Shopkick (referral code EASY634519)
Trunow gives you cash back for your gas receipts.
CoinOut gives you money for any receipt you scan.
Receipt Hog rewards you for scanning receipts as well!
I'll keep adding legitimate earning sites and apps as I find them!
Message me if you have questions about how to use any of them, if links are broken, etc.
