Don't know what to do while waiting on your games to start?! Make some money out of your spare time!

in money •  7 years ago 

Say your playing League of Legends and you've got a 5/10 minutes queue waiting time....
wouldn't it be good to use that time to earn a few dollars???
Think of all the skins you could buy! Or you could get a new game or whatever you want directly from Amazon!

Well Points2Shop would be perfect for you!
Points2Shop offers you the chance to earn money by completing surveys, doing small tasks, trying new products or signing up for new services and even inviting your friends to join. With many of the tasks you will be able to chose whether to receive points or cash. There are no withdrawal limit, as soon as you have 1 dollar you will be able to cash it out through PayPal or even get a dollar note sent straight to you mailbox! If you choose to earn points, you can then use those to buy items directly from Amazon.
I will mention though that Points2Shop works great if you live in U.S.A., Canada, UK or Australia but it isn't the best for the rest of the world as most countries do not have many available offers.

This are my personal current stats:

Completed offers 451
Completed ext. offers 289
Total Offer Earnings $341.7

(For most of my time using the platform I lived in Italy which meant having little to no offers and hardly making a dollar a day, after moving to Australia my earnings skyrocketed and have used them to buy several games, books, phone credit, etc.)

At the moment there are 3 main ways to earn money (R.I.P. Recurring Tasks, hope you will come back soon):

Number 1 - Surveys

Just sign up and go straight to their earning page, click on surveys and look at the long list available. For most people this is by far the best way to make money! As per title, all you have to do is click on a survey and try to finish it, you will be asked a couple of initial question to check whether you are a good match or not and it might take a few tries before getting through a full one; don't get discouraged, you will still finish most of them! Payouts vary wildly depending on topics and applicants pool size, scroll through them and, unless you have nothing else available don't waste your time on low paying ones (ex. 16c for 20 min of your time is bad, 2$ for 10 min is much more attractive). All the P2S surveys will pay you in cash (you can convert them to points if you want to later on); you can find more surveys that will instead reward you with points by going to Earn Points -> Earning Area -> Peanut Labs or RadiumOne.
You can start a survey, go back to your game and then, whenever your done there's no rush, go back to it; you won't lose your progress and you do not have a time limit.

Number 2 - External Offers

External offers are completed through some of Points2Shop partners like RadiumOne, PeanutLabs, OfferToro, TrialPay and AdGateMedia.
This offers include many different things:

  • videos: easy to complete, you can usually just have them play in a different window and still get credited, pay is low but, if you are in one of the countries I mentioned above, you might still make a dollar or two out of it.
  • paid trials: scroll through this to see if there are any services that you wanted to try out and if you subscribe to it, you will get points back. As they are paid offers, their rewards are usually much higher.
  • downloading apps: this can happen 2 ways, one can be trying a browser game or downloading a program on your computer, or you can download the Points2Shop App on your iOS/Android device and be paid to download/try/reach a certain level an app or a game. (Downloading the P2S app on your mobile also earns you 10c).

Number 3 - Referrals

Got any friends that could use a few dollars? Got a million Twitter followers? Well just refer them to Points2Shop and you will be rewarded for it. They have just reworked their payouts for this: from now on, as soon as your referral reaches 3$ worth of completed offers, you will also be credited 3$! It has never been this good so it is worth a try.... I have 1547 referrals and only made like 5$ out of it with the old system.....

Before I finish there is one more important thing!!!

Users are divided into tiers: new, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, etc....
You want to go up to bronze straight away to access more offers. All you have to do it confirm your address: it is super easy if you are from U.S.A. or Canada, just use the free points you get for signing up to send a dollar bill to your home! Your address will be automatically registered and you will jump up to bronze!
For international users, you will have to earn 2$ and then ask Points2Shop to send you a verification letter, it usually takes about 2 weeks to arrive and contains a specific code to verify your address.
All of the above is done by clicking on Account -> Honour Levels -> Verify Address in the bronze level description.

What you should aim for is reaching Gold ASAP as it means getting instant payments through PayPal instead of having to wait 2/3 days every time.

I think that's all for now! Happy earning!!!
