Ive seen many people complaining that PLAYTIME is increasing goals and decreasing rewards. It also promises 24 hour redemptions which I have not been receiving and it just stopped tracking right when I made a purchase to receive a reward. I contacted customer support but from what I can tell, that won't help. It was working at first but now I have been waiting on $50 for two days. A little shady if you ask me.

I have used prolific for a few years now and have had 0 issues cashing out. Dozens, if not hundreds of times I have cashed out. Starting a week ago the cashout button has been greyed out, with no message about needing to wait a certain amount of time or anything. I have >$100, it has been 7+ days at this point since my last cashout and it is still not letting me press the cashout button. Sent in 2 tickets to support with no help. Anyone dealt with this?

Yesterday all 3 platforms (mm-wall)(loot.tv)(hideout.co) just stopped loading ads completely no matter what I do to fix they won't load. I've seen a lot of reddit posts from the past saying they experienced the same but no one ever posted a fix. Was anyone ever able to get rewards again?

Can anyone tell me if it actually takes 30 business days to receive my payout to PayPal from pureprofile? I am very new to the site and this is my first payout

Hi guys, I am looking for a transcription website where I can get payouts without a paypal account. Because Paypal is not available in my country.

I received an email that I tried to reach out to a contact privately I have always worked thru upwork s and have no idea what they are talking about! Any ideas

I'm getting an error, but my friend can get to the site. Is it down for anyone else?

I signed up a week ago they confirmed I am a playtester it's been weeks still no email . Is it normal?

Hi all,

I am new to beermoney in general and swagbucks specifically, and I like data and tracking things. The activity ledger has a lot of detailed info about how I spent my time, but I don't see any option to download it, e.g. as a csv or pdf report. Am I missing the option on the page, and/or has anyone written a tool or figured out a nice workaround for extracting this data?

Thank you!

I've done Remesh studies before, and I've always received my reward with a week or two. However, my last Remesh study I completed was on 10th April, and I still haven't received the reward. The study was about vitamins and it was supposed to pay $35. Did anyone here do this study and still haven't received their rewards?

I had previously given up on this site months ago but they emailed me with a "special offer for a limited number of candidates" which turned out to be a survey worth over 500 life points.

I tried to take the survey 2 min after the email hit my inbox but it said it was full. The tile stayed on my dash though. I emailed support & then took a few surveys between 75 - 100 pts each.

Finished a survey, got the complete message, went back to Life Points and it said the survey was full. Luckily I was able to hit the back button fast enough and got a screen shot showing the sponsor message saying I had completed the survey & click through to get my points with the complete url in the screen shot. This is what Support says in writing they need from you to look into the error and credit your points.

Support gets back to me on the completed survey and says thanks for the screenshot but we also need the code for the survey, and they can't help me without the code. That's not what their help section says, but OK, I ate that one.

I open notepad & start tracking my survey codes & screen shot every survey complete page. It should be noted that it's not possible to copy paste the survey codes and instead of being words (like other sites use) Life Points gives you a random series of letters and numbers. This makes this task tedious. Probably a feature, not a bug.

The next day the tile for the special winback survey for over 500 LP is still up, so I try it on and off throughout the day & night, a few times I am able to answer a few questions, and they are different questions every time, but after a few answers it kicks me & says the survey is full.

I start doing more surveys and I hit another survey complete that turns into a survey full when I am returned back to Life Points. I write into Support and provide the survey code and the screenshot. Support writes back moving the goal posts again saying they need a screen shot showing how many points the survey was worth to credit my account. So now they need a screenshot of the tile of the survey showing the code & the points, not just the code as previously stated, and a screenshot showing the survey was completed with the entire URL.

After that I was pretty much done with them but I replied to my previous email about the 500+ life points survey, because they hadn't responded at all, and I let them know it must be erroring out. They wrote back that it wasn't an error with the survey, it was that I was giving it "bad information".

Thought I would share. I like getting paid for the work I complete, and not paying me on surveys the company that pays Life Points says I completed does not sit well, and moving the goal posts on what I need to provide to prove I did the work when they should know if I did or not on their end is IMO very sus. I noticed this happens sometimes with Branded Surveys as well.

I know YouGov doesn't have as many surveys a day, but I have never ever had an issue with not getting paid for my time. I've never been bumped in the middle of a survey, and I've never not seen credit for a completed survey in my stats. If I have to keep notes & take multiple screen shots, at that point I'm putting as much time and effort into tracking the surveys as I am doing the surveys and for me the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

I had 2 surveys today that were basically like regular surveys. One was about Healthcare and the other one I never even got far enough to know. They each said they would take 10-20 minutes. Has someone else had these? Do you still get the $3. I saw someone post about the cash out option changing. It seems like there's other changes as well.

I had my first 30 minute study scheduled today. Spent the whole 30 minutes on the "Moderator will let you in shortly" page. Does that happen often or did I just get unlucky?

I just read someone made a good amount of money from usertesting because of a 5 star. But probably more because of his knowledge.

I checked and I have a 5 star rating in my profile. From the very first review I did. :D I had 5 more afterwards, yet unrated. But in total that comes to 50€ a month.

So now I wonder if the stars really hold much value or is it more or less completely boiling down to knowledge?

I’ve had a phone screening with an observational clinical study at my local university in CO. It requires 3 overnight visits, where basically my sleep would be measured with some sort of sensors. No risks for me, just analysing how I would sleep after 3 different “day scenarios”. They said that I’ve passed the pre-screening and invited me to sign the “consent form” at their site. It’s 1hour drive from my place, and what worries me is that they haven’t how much I can expect to get paid - only said that I would get compensation for my time and travel - but no specific until I sign the consent. Is this normal? How much do this kind of studies usually pay? It’s 3 different night from 10 pm until 7 am in the morning next day. Thanks in advance I would appreciate your guidance and advice.

###Afterthoughts

Looks like May will be just like April - we get to choose our IB bonus and all the redemptions per offer count. My options were 85 for $25, 95 for $35, or 135 for $50. Last month I chose the $25 for 93 offers, so I went with the $35 for 95 this month. 93 offers wasn't too difficult for me to finish. I do think I could complete the 135 for $50, but it's just not really worth the extra effort for me. I was pretty excited to see the $3 coupons on Poise. Obviously, I can't use them with IB, but there's no expiration date for some reason, so I can hold onto it until I get a deal that I can use it with.

My IB bonus wasn't a money maker today, but I am perfectly okay with that since it doesn't factor in the progress towards my big bonus.

Anyone have ideas on what to do with the goat milk? I've never had it before, and I basically never use milk except for in bread. It's making me want to make cheese, but I don't have the ingredients. ^(Perhaps this is the time to ^buy ^^them...)

Big thanks to those who used my aisle refs! Those Rockstars are helping to keep the maintenance staff at our local school district well caffeinated and happy, haha.

I noticed that Aisle now lets you sort by retailer... which would be great if it worked, because their search radius is totally broken now. I keep getting offers for stores that are 60+ miles away, and the retailer filter cuts out almost everything lol. Plus, some things show up on mobile that weren't on PC.

Social Nature also had an offer for some pancake mix. It's being sent as a coupon though, so I'll get that in a couple weeks.

#Time Spent

I spent around half an hour planning a few deals last night, and then finished up the planning while I was in the store today. I was in the store for about an hour and 15 minutes, which included my regular shopping, as well as a few rest breaks since I twisted my ankle halfway through the trip. All better now, but I was walking super slow in the store.

###Food From Deals

Here's some things I've made in the past: High Protein Tomato Crackers, Hot Sausage Cups, Peanut Butter Fudge & Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge, Chocolate Cherry Pie

Do you guys want me to continue showing things I've made using ingredients I got from rebate apps on these posts? Let me know in the comments, or you can vote on this poll if you want to remain anonymous.

###Mini FAQ

• If you're new or confused - check out the guides near the top of the post. They go into detail about everything.

• I'm from the USA and these posts are tailored as such, but this post of mine does list things from other countries that I know about.

• My posts are tailored to being money makers to suit this subreddit. There are tons of great deals that aren't money makers but can still save you a lot of money.

• A lot of what I get is given away to friends, family or is donated. I do this more as a hobby than anything.

• I generally do not share my spreadsheet since the one shown in this post is not the one I actually use (it's put together with a script from my usual spreadsheet) and there are a ton of little things that will give you wrong values if you don't know about them and even then you have to be careful. It's super easy to make a spreadsheet with Google Sheets though.

will appreciate if you guys know

I got 9$ in my account and went to cash out my earnings. It used to be you could withdraw at only 3 dollars through bank transfer or Paypal. Now I only see the minimum option was 10$ for PayPal. Anybody else able to still cashout at 3$?

April Showers bring May flowers. I hope your beermoney earnings are blooming  

 
 
##April summary

My beermoney semi retirement continues as only 2 programs on the earnings report this month. But I still made more this month than last.. Thats thanks to one $100 offer on Swagbucks I did in March and credited this month.
 
If you are reading this post and thinking beermoney isnt worth it.. please look in the comments. Im sunsetting my beermoney career, which has done great things for me, but others are still making lots of money with this. Ive just turned my attention to futures day trading, my youtube channel and the MightyOxTrading merch store.. these things are now a better source of income than beermoney
 
There are two general things I want to chat about though that dont have to do with earnings.
 
The first is Mturk. I get a lot of questions about Mturk each month. And I dont mind helping and answering questions so dont think im complaining. BUT.. I have written an Mturk 101 that might answer a lot of questions you might have. Its linked on the right hand side of this subreddit.
 
The second thing is people from countries other than the US contacting me. Again I certainly dont mind, but I really have no idea what works in other countries. Its just not something I have the time to keep up on. And I hate that there arent many options for people outside of the US/UK/CA. Its heartbreaking when someone says just $25 a month would make a big difference and I dont know where to refer them to. SO if you arent from the US.. I honestly dont know how to help you but wish I could
 
So thats my April. How did you do?  
 

 
FOOTNOTES

1. Does not count Ref earnings

 
 
FAQ

I live outside the USA. How can I earn?
Unfortunately most of the stuff I do is either USA only or US/UK/CA/AU. So its hard for me to advise whats available to people outside of those areas. If you live outside those 4 countries I really dont have advice for you. And I dont have much advice for even outside the USA.

How Much Time do you spend with this?
Its Hard to quantify. I am in front of a computer ALOT but its not always focused on making money. I have games I play and have scripts that watch for HITs ON Mturk so if something pops thats good I switch over. Plus Im often doing multiple things at once. That said.. there are people who make more then me with less time. Im actually very inefficient.

 
Why dont you get a real job?
Health issues.. and I can nap at 1PM.. and I dont have a boss looking over my shoulder... and I can work naked (I dont.. or do I....)

 
You must have a ton of referrals to make that much!
All the totals above represent only personal earnings. I seperate out ref earnings.

 
OMG! You must cheat somehow to make so much!
I do nothing outside the TOS of any of the programs. I consider this income to be a blessing and wouldnt do anything to jeopardize that. Plus cheating just kills programs and defrauds the companies that are allowing me to make this income.
 

Do you have to pay taxes on all of this
Yes on most of it. There are some exceptions but the majority of this income is taxable. Most of these companies dont issue 1099s but that doesnt mean you dont have to pay taxes. Please consult a tax professional if you have questions on how to handle taxes on "beermoney" income

Are there any websites where you could write articles and get paid?

I have been working for some sites like Remo for some months but unfortunately they kicked the Egyptians and right now I don't have another opportunity Iam a software engineer and I can work on other projects anyone got suggestions?

I emailed them to ask and never heard back but I don't see it listed anymore. I've been saving up for one so I'd be pretty bummed if they did away with them...

A while ago (I think 2 months?), Loot.tv hid its daily watch time rewards, which used to give out some points for the first 4 hours of watch time.

Even though the bonus bar was hidden, the bonus of the first 4 hours is given out, but lately, it seems like even that bonus is not available anymore.

Is it the same for everyone? Without this bonus, seems like Loot.tv is completely dead now, with no way to give points anymore, it seems.

Anyone see a Cadillac test drive offer at their dealer? Several people at Slickdeals have posted seeing them but don't say the specific dealer, though one did say Michigan. Tried all the dealers in my area (Seattle) and don't see it. I think it's for $75. Pls report which dealers have it!

PS. Have already done the $50 Subaru one.

I just made $5 on FA about a week or 2 ago bit didnt try to cash out till today. I went thru plaid and added my bank. My bank acknowledged that they were connected, but the app doesnt sure my bank and I cant cash out. I just keep going in circles

Just got accepted into appen, to qualify for a project I need to create a WLID. It says to follow instructions on a document, but following the link leads to a blank page. Anyone have the page / know the format the ID should be in? Thanks!

Used it before but never had cash out and I used it years ago and have not heard nothing new
