Google Opinion Rewards

[jaytee]

Have an app for Google Opinion Rewards. Simple quick survey for cash, with rewards which can be used in Play Store, although I have not worked out how!

I don't pay to buy apps or use in app purchases.

Have accumulates £22 in 6 months, but will start to drop off in December - 12 months after earning.

Does anyone know if there are other ways to redeem? PayPal or gift vouchers would be good.

Other than that, would rather donate to a charity, preferably of my choice, then let the money goes back into Googles Profits.

I do not use this, but having had a quick look at their T&C it woud seem that these are only redeemable in Play Store

I suppose it might be possible to download something to another persons phone. But I do not know enough to be sure. Like you I never pay for apps.

I've used this app for many years. The earnings have dropped over time from perhaps £50 in the early years to much less now. I might not reach £15 this year. I've heard that some folks are accumulating something around that much per month on an ongoing basis, but don't know how they're achieving that or whether they are keeping within the T&Cs. Actually, they might be using the receipts option, which isn't available to me!

Please be aware the Google credit expires after 12 months. It can be redeemed for movies and TV shows on Google Play as well as app purchases. Perhaps it could also be used towards subscriptions for services like YouTube Premium or Google One, however I'm not aware of ways to convert it into any types of credit for use elsewhere. Perhaps there's a dodgy app... I don't know.

Ah, that's a help page for an iOS app. I wasn't aware that existed (perhaps it's relatively new). It's understandable that credit for the Google Play store wouldn't be supported on iOS.

I've only been using the Android app. So going to try the iOS app now...

Well spotted. Bit too much to buy an iphone to claim my £20. Glad I've been of help to others though.

I doubt that you could; admittedly I've registered using different e-mail addresses, so can't be sure, however I wouldn't expect earnings to link between the two apps.

Incidentally, the welcome survey for the iOS app earns £0 and the minimum payout is £2.

My 1st paid survey on iOS yesterday evening (Google Drive) for 8p.

My next survey this morning (sports) was unpaid.

Definitely not getting rich quick from this scheme!

My 2nd paid survey on iOS this morning (social media) for 8p.
