**Easy Money for Busy People! (2024) – Programs Without Disqualifications!**
Hey everyone! I’ve been keeping a list to myself, but thought other people could find it useful, so I’m going to share it here. Making a little extra money in your spare time can really help with finances, but when some of these survey apps, programs and websites make you work then disqualify you, it can be heartbreaking and akin to time and wage theft. At least that’s how I feel about it. This list has some of my favorite micro earning programs, which are a great way to make some extra money with programs that don’t kick you out. These tasks take between 30 seconds to 15 minutes and are worth your time. This list changes as programs change, but it should be helpful for quite a while. I hope this helps busy people who want to earn some extra cash!
### Prolific
Prolific is my favorite. You take surveys for universities and researchers and get paid. These surveys are fair because they follow university rules. As long as you pay attention, you won’t get kicked out. There are lots of surveys during the week, but fewer on weekends and in the summer. Most surveys pay at least minimum wage. Be careful at first because if you miss too many checks, you could get banned. You can cash out through PayPal with no fees. They used to pay in GBP, but now they pay in USD too. There’s a waitlist, and how long you wait depends on your demographics.
### CrowdTap
CrowdTap is great for quick surveys. It’s available online and as an app on iOS and Android. The questions are about things like food and products. The pay varies depending on the survey. They also offer product tests and video interviews that can pay up to $50. You can cash out starting at $5, and I usually cash out once a week. Watch out for attention checks to avoid getting banned. One downside is that you don’t know how many points a survey is worth until you finish it.
### PaidViewpoint
PaidViewpoint has surveys about consumer goods. Most surveys take 3-10 minutes and don’t kick you out. You start with short surveys that pay $0.10 and build a “trait score” based on how honestly you answer. As your score goes up, you get more surveys. You can choose which survey to take, and it shows the pay and time upfront. You can cash out at $15, but after a few cashouts, the limit drops to $5. They offer PayPal, Amazon, Target, and more. This is decent earner that gets better as you gain experience with them.
### Benjamin
Benjamin is a new app for me this year. You get $0.05 for checking in each day and can spin a wheel to earn up to $0.20. There are also login streak bonuses every 10 days. You can connect a bank account and earn cashback on purchases. You can also earn $0.01 per ad you watch. I often run ads while doing other things. I’ve cashed out multiple times for gift cards after hitting the $25 limit.
### Meta Viewpoints
Meta Viewpoints is an app owned by Meta (Facebook). You get tasks like reading sentences to train voice recognition or giving opinions on Facebook. The tasks vary in content and pay. Sometimes you can make $40 in a month, but other times there are no tasks. Meta Viewpoints automatically cashes you out to PayPal for every $5 you earn. The tasks are fun, and it’s worth having for when there are many tasks available.
### Influence/VoxPopMe
Influence/VoxPopMe requires recording yourself answering questions. These recordings are usually for internal marketing. They ask things like where you shopped or your opinions on topics. You can earn $0.25 to $1 per response. You can cash out to PayPal at $10. It’s worth using if you don’t mind being on camera.
### Bridge
Bridge is similar to Benjamin. You get login bonuses and can earn cashback on your debit card. You can also watch 25 ads per day for $0.01 per ad. I’ve cashed out multiple times at their $5 limit. I like using Bridge and Benjamin together for passive cashback and login bonuses.
Pinecone Research
Pinecone Research lets you review real products and sometimes test them. Surveys take about 10 minutes and pay $3. Sometimes I go longer between surveys, but this week I got four! I’ve tested pet and snack items and then done follow-up surveys. You can cash out to PayPal, Amazon, or other options at $5. I’ve been using this program for years and enjoy it!
Cloud Research
Cloud Research has gotten so much better! It’s like a mini version of Prolific. You take academic surveys that don’t kick you out. I’ve also done big tasks like labeling images. One time, I had over 2,000 tasks and got paid $0.20 for each one! You can cash out to PayPal and Amazon once you reach $5.
E-Poll Surveys
E-Poll is all about pop culture! They ask you about TV shows, celebrities, and more. These surveys don’t kick you out, but they can be different lengths. You’ll get emails when new surveys are available. You can cash out for gift cards or PayPal. The more points you save, the better the rewards. If you love pop culture, check this one out!
Be Forthright
Forthright is unique because even if you don’t qualify for a survey, you still get a loyalty bonus! For every three surveys you try, you get $3, even if you don’t qualify. That’s about $0.66 per survey no matter what. If you complete the survey, you get paid even more. Just avoid partner surveys because they don’t have the bonus. You can cash out for different rewards instantly.
Google Opinion Rewards
Google Opinion Rewards is super easy! This app sends you short surveys that pay small amounts. You can cash out at $2. Some surveys are based on your location, so make sure to allow location services.
OnePulse
OnePulse sends you very short surveys. You start by earning $0.25 per survey, but as you level up, you earn more. I currently get $0.39 per survey. I skip the non-paid surveys because they’re not worth the time. Surveys fill up quickly, so do them right away when you get a notification. You can cash out to PayPal at $20, but only once a month. I usually get enough surveys to cash out every month.
SurveyMonkey Rewards
SurveyMonkey Rewards is an app with short surveys that pay $0.25 to a few dollars. They usually take 1-5 minutes. Sometimes you might get disqualified at the beginning, but you’ll still get $0.10. The app doesn’t always notify you about new surveys, so check it once or twice a day. You can cash out to Amazon at $5.
Amazon Shopper Panel
Amazon Shopper Panel is one of the best receipt apps! There’s a waitlist, so it might take a while to join. You get paid for each receipt you upload, and some categories pay up to $1. Even the lowest categories pay $0.15, which is great for a receipt app. You also get short surveys that pay $0.25 for 2-3 questions. The app pays in Amazon gift cards at the end of each month. If you only use one receipt app, make it this one!
Streetbees
Streetbees has tasks that ask about the products you use or other things about you. For example, I have a task right now that pays $0.25 to say what snacks I’m eating. Sometimes you need to take a picture. You get paid via PayPal for each task you finish. There aren’t always tasks available, but when there are, they pay well. I once got $9 for testing an app! It’s a fun option that’s different from regular surveys.
