A New Global App That Pays Paypal Instantly: CitizenMe



i just learned of this one last week and thought i would give it a shot. citizenme is based out of london but is available globally. they ask questions to develop 'your profile' and say the more of these 'insight' questions you complete the more paying surveys you will receive. i only filled out 2 insight activities and already received my first paying question! took under a minute to complete and they paid me within minutes to my paypal. they actually pay in british pounds so the 10 cents actually converted to 12 cents US dollars-score! i actually allowed notifications so that i am alerted to any paying activities and therefore not wasting a bunch of time checking the app all the time.


you can check them out on fb page too. so far i am liking this app. i even went back and connected my twitter account and completed all my pending insights to see if i start getting even more paying surveys. they do not seem to have any referral program that i see. but even if it's a bit of change each month you can't beat instant deposit to your paypal account! 


good luck with citizen me!

Become A Food Product Tester For A Major Brand!



i have reviewed Mccormick's consumer testing site before but i just recently was accepted into a new study and thought i would mention them again for folks that may not have heard of them before.

i love being a part of this site. every 3 months you are eligible to take a short screener and qualify to test one of McCormick's newest products. they send you the product, even supply a recipe or two, and even PAY you $10-$20 in amazon gift cards once the study is complete. all you need to do is fill out a survey about your experience. you do not need to physically visit their facility--although there are even more opportunities if you can drive to either their baltimore or new orleans locations.

additionally, they even have bonus activities--make a collage or video about the test product and possibly earn an additional incentive.

they also have non-product test surveys periodically that offer a chance at winning amazon gift cards.

in addition to the regular compensation for testing products i have already won $25 for a collage submission and $10 for a survey raffle.

like some other sites though, often i do not receive an email for an upcoming project---so it's best to bookmark them and check once a week or so for opportunities.

even if you aren't big into surveys, if you like to cook and try new products this site is for you!

thank you!

Focus Groups Round 8

--scoring focus groups is where the money is at. consequently, many many people are vying for a handful of slots. register for every focus group you can find to increase your odds. yes, it is a pain to fill out that initial profile but once it's done you are in their database and ready to get screeners! i suggest doing batches of 4-5 at a time so it's not so tedious and keeping a list of the ones you have joined since it's impossible to keep track of all of them!









and don't forget to also sign up with all the previous focus groups i have mentioned:

bevRAGE: The Alcohol App That Pays You Back!




please use my referral code: KSQXPFYU


hello bevRAGE! it's about time someone made a cash back shopping app completely dedicated to drinking! this is the drinking gal's ibotta. best yet, you can earn for both grocery and bar/restaurant purchases. the bad news is they are just rolling out and not in all areas yet---including mine :(. hopefully they will expand soon and we can all take advantage. obviously, you need to be at least 21 or over to redeem any offers.





when you hit $20 you can request a check or have a paypal deposit. i have zero offers in my particular zip code so i can't really say what kind of drinks are eligible in bars and restaurants but here is a snapshot of some of the in-store items eligible:

Radial Insight: Your New Favorite Survey Site!

*ATTENTION! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REPORTING VARIOUS ERROR MESSAGES WHEN TRYING TO REGISTER. I HAVE EMAILED RADIAL INSIGHT TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND IF THEY ARE STILL ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS. STAY TUNED!*


i have stumbled across a new survey site and trust me this one is a major keeper! take a minute right now and sign up for Radial Insight. this new survey site is continuing the trend of not having a 'portal site' but rather just using emails to communicate surveys and rewards, similar to innopoll and livewire.



payment is almost instantaneous and comes in the form of Tango credit. no paypal option but lots of gift cards to choose from, including amazon, iTunes and target.
right now there is no referral program and they probably won't institute one, also similar to innopoll and livewire. so far i have received 5 surveys and all have paid either $3 or $5---and all have taken under 10 minutes! seriously they are paying some of the best survey wages out there and i hope it stays that way for awhile!




one word of warning! the sign up process is super short and almost seems too abrupt--it truly is only like 3 questions and then it ends. don't panic! you will hear back from them in a few days--i think it was almost 4-5 days before i heard back and i was convinced my application didn't go through.
you will get a follow up email from emma to complete your registration that looks like this:

The 9 Shopping Apps That Have Paid Me Over $300.



did these little money makers even exist 5 yrs ago? it amazes me how many apps there even are now. i have gotten myself into a nice routine where i automatically scan all my receipts after putting the groceries away. it does take a few minutes but those few minutes each shopping trip add up nicely. here are my top earners!


ibotta: use my code EZL4Q and earn a bonus!
pros: probably the most offers available and one of the easiest to upload receipts

cons: only select stores are eligible

earnings so far:  $50.35 paypal


checkout51
pros: any store allowed and a weekly $500 sweeps

cons: limited eligible products

earnings so far: $37.75 check

receiptpal
pros: nearly all receipts accepted, even online ones

cons: no ability to take multiple pics of a receipt--long ones may be rejected

earnings so far: $55 amazon


receipt hoguse my code TROST892 and earn free spins!
pros: all grocery stores accepted

cons: seems to be one of my slowest earners

earnings so far: $30 paypal


walmart savings-catcher
pros: they auto match any competitors advertised deals on items you bought

cons: i like this one but it is hit or miss--many receipts earn me zero back

earnings so far: $63.41 store credit


find & save please enter my referral code: QRGG
pros: can be a quick money earner.

cons: offers seems to last only a couple days

earnings so far: $27.75 paypal 


yaarlo  please enter my code: BRIDGETB953
pros: any food, gas or grocery receipt accepted

cons: no ability to take multiple pics of a long receipt

earnings so far: $45.77 amazon


my last two: mobisave and savingstar i have earned very little with but only because i just started using them. i really like that mobisave auto pays into your paypal--no minimum required!

savingstar is good but only accepts certain retailers. cash out minimum is only $5.

FindParticipants Review





i have been with this panel, findparticipants, for a few months. so far i have been invited to 3 studies, one being completely voluntarily and the other 2 involving a raffle/sweeps for the incentive. so obviously not ideal but since the amount of participants for these surveys is probably low your odds are much better winning a prize here than with some of the other big name sites. that being said, i haven't won anything yet :(



that doesn't mean there aren't any paying sites here, their site says there are, i just haven't been invited to any yet. nevertheless, it is worth the signup just to see what comes your way. if anything else, i find research, more academic-based surveys are far more engaging and interesting!

Invitation to a new online community, the League


my-take has just launched a brand new online community, the league. it involves members that are active and may rely on sports medicine to help them along the way--think neck, wrist or back braces.

right now they are accepting new members. if interested leave your name and email in the comments below. i will delete your email once i forward you the screener.

no word on incentives yet. the site simply states:

Will I receive anything for my participation in this panel?
We appreciate your continued participation in the panel and your feedback is invaluable to us. Active members in the community will be incentivized for their time.
good luck!

Focus Groups Round 7

it never ends! i truly believe the number of focus groups cannot be conquered. i know it's a pain reentering your info over and over but scoring a few $100 studies makes it all worthwhile! take 30 minutes and sign up with these sites now! i also will highly suggest investing in a webcam NOW. so many studies require them now and you are excluding yourself from many high paying opportunities if you don't have one. it is $30 that will pay itself off in spades.
