If you’re on a quest to find legitimate apps/survey sites that actually reward you with what they promise, then continue reading below! This will continuously get updated when we test more.
We love trying new apps/survey sites and sharing the greats with you, but keep in mind you’ll still need a daytime job! These are not “get rich quick” schemes but real companies that help you earn some extra side money when you spend time on their app/site. We’ve tried them and only list the ones we have positive words about. Let’s get started:
Lucktastic – Play Free Scratchers, Win Money & Groceries
I’m on this app every day. The premise is really simple: play the many different free scratchers on the app and you could win varying amounts of cash ranging from $1 – $25,000 each!
Lucktastic is 100% free to play on Google Play Android plus there are no in-app purchases. Everyone is on equal footing.
It’s easy to play, as you just use your fingertip to “rub off” the scratcher on your phone.
You could instantly win the cash in addition to collecting tokens that serve as entry tickets to drawings like Win Groceries for a Month, Fandango Tickets, Dinner gift cards etc.
Every day you could get a free entry + bonus entries into the Groceries for a Month drawing!
On my 5th scratcher, I won $2! My friend, Jake W., was a bit luckier though and got the $500 scratcher cash prize. That’s seriously not bad for just playing a couple weeks.
How to get Started:
- Download Lucktastic on Google Play Android
- Choose scratchers to play
- Play daily to win!
There are also different ways to cash out:
I’ve gotten the Amazon $5 gift card (they give you a virtual code) but I’m going to shoot for a mailed check my next round.
Since Lucktastic doesn’t require much brainpower, I usually have it open when I’m watching Netflix. The game stays 100% free because they do show ads (this is normal) and the ads themselves are quite short. So download this rewarding app and you could be the next cash prize winner like my friend, Jake!
InboxDollars – Earn Dollars, Not Points
We’re familiar with the sites that have the never-ending surveys, and in the end, you give up due to frustration or worse, something broke in the middle and you can’t continue where you left off.
Thankfully, InboxDollars is completely straightforward with the ways on how you can earn money on the site. You’ll see exactly how much cash you’re earning versus the sometimes confusing point system.
Here are the ways you can earn:
- Surveys (shows how long each will take)
- Completing offers (many are free)
- Play online games
- Search the internet
- Watch short TV shows (each mostly under 2 mins)
- Shopping (getting cash back)
- Coupons (so useful!)
- Referrals
A majority of these reflect what you already do online, so when you have time to spare, InboxDollars is a great way to earn some extra fun money. I spend about 1/2 hour to an hour a day, on and off.
In my first 10 minutes, I had earned $6 by just filling out my profile, answering a short survey about myself, and watching 2 short videos.
Out of all the available activities, I enjoy watching short videos to earn cash the most. It’s entertaining, they’re each under 2 minutes, and most of the time, it’s either educational (learned how to make maple butternut squash), aww-inducing (local news segment on baby otter pups) or entertainment/celebrity news.
If you like answering questions about yourself, you can also earn cash via survey-taking. It’ll be very clear as to how long each survey will take, so choose the ones that pay the most and takes the shortest amount of time.
They also have a fun Scratch & Win section at the top, where your activities earn you progress on the bar. I’ve won $7 in the 1st tier, but next time I’ll save up for the 2nd tier to increase my earnings. There’s also Billy’s Spin Wheel where you can win even more cash.
Lots to do and yes, they do pay!
InboxDollars is reputable as they’ve been around for 18 long years and have maintained a 4/5 positive rating on TrustPilot.
We’re both entertained and amazed by InboxDollars which is super important for a site like this. Try it out and get $5 upon sign up!
