Earn Cash with PaidViewPoint!

Abby H.

I did it again!

I just cashed out from Paid Viewpoint so I figured it was a great time to share it with you again.

I’ve been a member for 9 years, and I do a couple of surveys each week. Each Survey you are sent, you are pre-qualified for. That means that you won’t spend 20 minutes doing a survey only to be told, “Sorry, we don’t need you!” and you don’t get paid. Paid ViewPoint surveys vary in bounty/amount earned, starting at .10 and working up to $5.00.

What I like is that Paid Viewpoint tells you how long each survey will take and how much it pays, no surprises.

Once you sign up, you will receive an email when they have surveys for you, but I check my Paid ViewPoint account a few times a week to see if there are any available, just in case I miss emails from them.
Obviously, I won’t be quitting my day job because of these surveys, but a little extra money never hurts.

Earn Money with Verasight!

Abby H.

I’ve been a member of Verasight for a few years now. I’m not sure how I got turned onto it; it was probably an email I received.

Verasight is a little different than other survey sites.

  • You cash out only in $10 increments.
  • Rewards are available via PayPal, Venmo, or Gift Cards. I always take Venmo.
  • You only receive an email when there is a survey for you to take.
  • 90% of the time, you are pre-qualified to take the survey. You will not spend time filling out a survey only to be denied or told you don’t qualify.
  • There is no referral program.

It doesn’t take much to redeem a reward. Most surveys are 500-1000 points and take less than 10 minutes to complete. For every 10 surveys you complete, you receive a 1000-point ($1.00) bonus.

I recently cashed out a $10 reward, and now I’m 1/3 of the way to my next reward with a 3300-point balance.

Verasight is definately a quick way to earn a little extra cash.

 

 

2025: New Ibotta Accounts can Score Free Thanksgiving Dinner!

Abby H.1 Comment

Ibotta has an offer for new Ibotta members, where they can redeem cashback offers to make part of their Thanksgiving feast free after rebate.

If you are already an Ibotta user, have no fear- there is a freebie for you, it just requires a little work.

Existing members can earn a free turkey when they refer their friends to Ibotta to claim their 100% cash back turkey offer! Just make sure they sign up using your referral code, and your turkey offer will be available once they redeem their first offer!

If you are new to Ibotta, you will receive the following rebates loaded into the app:

New members will receive offers for:

  • Any brand Turkey Roast up to $13.65
  • McCormick Gravy Packet
  • Edwards Whole Pie
  • Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • Idahoan Mashed Potatoes

You can download the Ibotta app here. When you use my referral code qmo4a, you will receive the amazing offers above! If you are looking for a good starter offer? Here is a free after-rebate offer I found in Ibotta!

I use Ibotta in conjunction with other apps like Fetch Rewards- I add all of my receipts to Fetch, each one gives me at least 25 points, and gets me closer to rewards like CVS Gift Cards, Darden Restaurant Gift Cards, or Vons/Albertsons Grocery Store Gift Cards.

Disclosure: this Post contains my referral code. I may earn a referral credit or bonus if you sign up through my link. I do not need the Turkey Roast, however if the offer becomes available to me because someone signs up, I will purchase it and donate it to someone in my community via my local Buy Nothing group.
