Team Noesis--Be a 'Noe It All'

*IT APPEARS THEY MAY HAVE CLOSED UP SHOP :( . 

UNABLE TO ACCESS THEIR SITES AS OF 8/1/15. *

i have no idea how i found this site but i have done 2 'shopping missions' for them and have earned an easy $40 amazon gift card each time. i just love the name: a Team Noesis Noe it all!

both projects involved a short initial online screener and then a few weeks later i was notified i was accepted. i had to go to target or walmart, locate specific toys and take a few photos. once home i just needed to upload the photos and answer some questions---easy-peasy! 

register now! (and i would be forever grateful if you included my email as your referrer-bridgetberliner-4@yahoo.com--that way both of us are entered for a prize!)

1Q: The 1 Question App that Pays

https://1q.com/register

have you tried 1Q yet? if not, sign up now! they simply ask 1 single question and then you get paid instantly via paypal once you answer. you have to act quick--most questions expire in 5 minutes. questions pay 50 cents but you do have option to 'reduce your fee' to 25 cents per question which apparently makes you more attractive to companies and increases your chances of being given questions over others.

the action on this site seems to come in waves. some months i hear nothing and others i may get 3 questions. it's not a lot by any means but these questions are truly just a single 'yes or no' answer so it doesn't get more effortless than that. it also is available to countries outside the US---just attempt to register to see if yours is one of them.

Field Agent Review

https://itunes.apple.com/US/app/field-agent/

although i have reviewed this app before, it was awhile ago and i think it's time to talk it up again. this is one of my favorite mobile money makers.

upon initial inspection, the site seems to basically be audits at specific locations, i.e.. take a photo of the 'as seen on tv' display at walgreens.

Bing Rewards

https://www.bing.com/explore/rewards

UPDATE! sadly i have been banned from bing rewards. they detected i was using bot software. so i will say if you chose to use a bot please proceed with caution and know you many likely get banned as well. rewards are very slow without using a bot though :(

oh, how i wish i had jumped on the bing rewards train sooner! i just started 2 weeks ago and already cashed in for a $5 amazon! it's really super easy to rack up the points. bing actually pays you in points for searches! every single day. you can earn 15 pts daily for computer searches, 10 pts daily for mobile searches and then they always throw in a bonus search or two to make it fun. typically every 2 searches equals 1 pt. i immediately found this way too time consuming so i did some digging and found there are bots out there designed to do all the searching for you and they are free! i am sure it would be easy for bing to shut this practice down but i guess numbers are numbers and that is what bing is going for to irritate rival google. every morning i log in and click on the bonus search and then i use this bot site that automatically does all my searches for me! check it out here: http://www.pogocheats.net/bing-rewards-bot/

FreeEats.com Review--Don't Miss This Money Maker!

https://www.freeeats.com/

this site seems a bit too good to be true. answer surveys on your phone and get paid pretty instantly via paypal. i just joined a month ago and have already completed 3 surveys. you have to ACT FAST though. you will get a text message saying something like 'NEW SURVEY! $10 for 1st 25 responses. Next 1000 responses will earn $1'. now i have JUMPED on all 3 of the ones i received and still haven't made it within the quickest repliers to earn the top tier incentive. i have received the $1 incentive each time. it seems a bit counterproductive to me since people obviously will rush through the survey to try to score that top tier--but that is their set up.

even stranger is that they seem to give me .25 cents paypal each time they just text me about a survey, before i even accept it so i have really earned $1.25 for each one.

Snap By Groupon Review

UPDATE! AS OF 3/1/16 SNAP INTRODUCED SOME MAJOR CHANGES. YOU NO LONGER EARN CASH BACK FOR ITEMS ON YOUR RECEIPT AND ANY REWARDS YOU HAVE ALREADY EARNED CAN ONLY BE USED TOWARDS GROUPON DEALS NOW. THE APP NOW OFFERS SOME COUPONS AND PROMOTIONS BUT THEY ARE OF NO INTEREST TO ME. I NO LONGER USE THE APP SINCE IT HAS CHANGED SO DRAMATICALLY. :(

https://snap.groupon.com/app

yes, yet another cash back shopping app has entered the arena! this one is called Snap and it's from Groupon. like checkout51, every retailer qualifies so that's a definite plus. the app is available for iOS and android devices and like the others, requires you to take a snapshot of your receipt and then check off the items you want to redeem.

AppOptix--a mobile app with rewards

i just discovered this app a few months ago. it's super easy and basically a free $10 amazon gift card every 3 months for doing absolutely nothing.
just download the app on your phone, keep it running and you're set.

walmart savings catcher review

#review

UPDATE #2! sadly the bluebird doubling has ended :( 

we can only hope they bring it back in the future.

UPDATE! i just learned you can get an american express bluebird card and DOUBLE your savings catcher rewards! it was super easy to do too. i just applied for the bluebird card (its not a credit card but kind of like a prepaid card) and they mailed it to me. i then transferred my $18 in savings catcher to the card and it doubled to $36. definitely take advantage of this offer!

https://www.bluebird.com

OMG this is genius! everyone MUST download this app and take advantage of what walmart is offering.

simply put---shop at walmart, scan your receipt, walmart then does all the price checking for you--they actually compare their prices against all the nearby competitors printed and digital sales ads--and if someone had an item cheaper you get credited the difference! how easy is that?

Locately App Review

UPDATE!

i believe locately has closed up shop--received this message on my app 10/28/14:

here is another mobile based app for your phone. surveys are somewhat infrequent--they usually pop up after you visit a retailer--but they are quick and simple.

surveys are usually worth 10 pts. and you get 1pt. for each day the app is running. once you hit 500 pts. you can redeem either a starbucks or amazon $5 gift card. it's an easy $5 every couple months.

i really racked up points though when i completed a special shopping assignment this past holiday season. so even if this doesn't seem worth it--hang tight and just keep accumulating your 1pt. daily because you never know when a great incentive opportunity will come along!

dscout research

dscout is truly one gem of an app. you simply apply for 'missions' and do a short screener. if chosen, you complete the mission by taking quick 30 second snippets of whatever the mission topic is.

it's free, it's fun, it's on your phone and it PAYS.

Checkout 51

my friend just recently introduced me to this app/site. i had been a huge fan of Endorse, which sadly shut its doors a while back. i use ibotta occasionally but my regional grocery store (schnucks) doesn't support it. Checkout 51 can be used with ANY retailer which makes it a winner with me! in fact you can buy from ANY retailer (even online!) as long as you have a validated receipt.

similar to the others, you simply check off their promoted items that you bought that week and then upload your receipt. easy as pie. i have made $7 in just the few weeks i joined. every week they have at least one 'generic' item like milk, eggs or bananas so that's easy money. once you hit $20 you cash out and they mail you a check.

available for iOS devices, android and online through their website. united states and canada.

give them a try!

shopalong mobile app

Shopalong is a mobile community where you get paid for completing fun and rewarding assignments at places you shop every day.

you can bring them along on your next shopping trip and earn rewards (typically $5-$50)!

they typically pick certain shopping occasions--back to school, black friday, mothers day, spring etc... and ask you to pick the initial budget you have in mind. then you just log all your purchases until the project ends--easy-peezy!

i made $45 for just logging in my spring home improvement purchases (submitting receipts, answering short surveys and taking pics) over a 6 wk period. it took minutes and it was fun! better yet, it even logs all your purchases so you can see if you went over or under your initial budget!

join today! available on iOS and android.

surveymini--a great mobile site!

SurveyMini Review

here is an app that i just discovered this past month and its another good one! its only available on iPhones though through the app store.
you get quick 2 minute surveys after you visit most retailers or restaurants (it detects your location) and you rack up points QUICKLY! in just one month i earned enough points for a $10 gift card and they have several to choose from: burger king, jamba juice, chick-fil-a, and sonic to name a few. you can also accumulate your points and cash them in for a $25 gift card to places like bath and body works, petsmart, office max, even amc movies.
its a quick and effortless $10 gift card each month!

iPoll--they have been very good to me!

i have to say, the regular ipoll site is JUST OKAY--however, i make scores of money on their mobile site. very high paying missions---$5 - $30 for going to the grocery store and buying a specific item and then reviewing it at home. seriously, i have made over $100 just in one month. the caveat is you don't get notifications so you HAVE to look at the app daily, even twice a day to see any missions in your area. still, its super easy money and one of my most profitable apps.
as for the site itself--i don't really bother with the majority of their low paying surveys but i still check it daily for their frequent 'gut-check' focus groups. a few times a week they have 2-5 online focus groups but you have to find them on your 'available surveys' dashboard. they pay anywhere from $5-$20 and they are super easy and actually fun to do.
ipoll is a very profitable site if you are proactive and make it part of your routine to check both the pc and mobile site at least once a day for the good ones because they go fast!
