Mobile Apps that Make Me Money

Mobile Phone emoji 6 items
The app store is full of reward scams, so I spent time testing them myself. These are the apps that have actually paid out for me, along with my honest pros and cons for each.

Games and Surveys

I love playing a good game, and if I can earn money, that's even better. As for the surveys, I don't have the best luck, but here are some of my favorites with pros and cons listed in the comments.

Earnings Update: Started Jan 25—currently at $270.45 total earnings (plus $43.47 pending, expected July 5th). 

The Strategy: Most of my money comes from the mobile games. It can be a grind, but picking the right game offers makes it easy. 

The Payout: Cash out starts at just $5. I recommend using PayPal—there are no fees and the money hits your account in 5 to 30 minutes!

Earnings Update: Made $124.10 from August 1st to November 14th last year. I haven't actively used it since my last payout, but my tracking links are still fully active. 

PROS: You get your exact full balance when you redeem (like $23.86) instead of rounding down to the nearest $5. There is usually no strict time limit to finish a game. 

CONS: There is a $20 minimum to cash out (and it can be up to $80 for some users). You have to finish all tasks or explicitly "quit" the game early before you can redeem. Only pays via PayPal and takes a few days to process.

UPDATE: I started using this app on April 9th, and as of July 1st, I have made $106.25! So far, this is the absolute best survey app I've found. 

The surveys are always offered directly to you, and even if you don't fully qualify for one, they still give you 10 cents—which is way better than other apps that kick you out with nothing.

Shopping

The best way to get the most on these apps is to go on TikTok and find a couponer in your local area and they break it down as simply as possible.

I've been using Fetch one for years. I usually either scan my receipt as soon as I can or I'll collect them throughout the week and then scan them all at once.

I started using Ibotta when I started following some couponers on TikTok.
