Regarding Updates To Guides

To the right hand side, you'll find some quick links to all the guides that have been posted to the blog.  Sometimes I will update the guides on those pages and not the original blog entry, since those will continually get pushed to the end.  To find the most current information, find the guide on the right hand side and click that link.  At the very bottom there will be a last updated date, that way you always know if something within the guide has changed.

This can be very helpful since each site frequently goes through changes and either adds or removes features.  One example is Swagbucks.  You used to earn a point for visiting their Trusted Surveys page, since they updated the look of it a month or two ago, you no longer earn that point.

  • To my knowledge, they have no restriction on countries but the amount of offers will varying on your country.
  • 1st payment will take 15 days afterward it will only take 10 days, per their FAQ.
How To Earn Points (Easy Way): 

The Daily Polls is a guaranteed easy way to earn a point a day. Simply find Daily Polls on the under Earn Coins, answer the question and submit.  Easy!

Click on Earn Coins/Offer Wall/Offer 1 to find RadiumOne, look throughout the offers they have available to find videos.  RadiumOne Videos are not as often videos as under Peanut Labs or Gambit.  Some RadiumOne Videos might not be available under GiftHulk even though they might be offered at other GPT sites.  If videos are present, they will usually have the video loaded on the offer page, all that you need to do is click to start the video and watch until completion to be awarded 1 point.  TIP: Some videos may be hidden on later pages, be sure to check all the offer pages to find all available videos.

Click on Earn Coins/Offer Wall/Offer 3, they will have a tab called Videos.  Super Rewards Videos are not as often as Gambit or RadiumOne.  Do not be surprised if you only find one or two videos a month, but they are easy points when available.

Gambit Videos are also offered on GiftHulk and tend to offer the most videos.  Videos may not be offered every day, but when they are they are worth 1 point depending on the advertiser. To find Gambit Videos, click on Earn Coins/Offer Wall/Offer 6, if there are videos available there will be a tab under Gambit called Videos.  Completely watch the video to be creditedTIP: Some videos provide links to the video instead of playing within the Gambit window, I find many of those videos do not credit (except for videos that require you to obtain a confirmation code).



Codes worth points will be available every day.  They are posted to Twitter and Facebook daily, enter the codes at the Fountain of Youth under Earn Coins.  Some codes expire quickly while others have a limited amount of entries, be quick to get them.

How To Earn Points (Hard Way):

Hulk Tasks can be completed to earn points.  Hulk Tasks usually take more time, require you to do searches and you have to do a good job at them.  As you work on a task, your accuracy will go down if you answer incorrectly or perform an inadequate job.  If you go below a certain threshold, you will not be credited for doing the task. Find the tasks under the Earn Coins option.

GiftHulk also has Surveys which are more time consuming but offer a larger amount of points when completed.  Find Surveys by clicking Earns Coins/Hulk Opinion Center.  I do not partake in surveys because of how long they take, but also the fact that even after you've spent time answering questions you might not "qualify" to finish the survey and be credited.

There are many more ways to earn points, especially by going through all the offers found under Earn Coins.  Some may be easy, some may be hard, some may never credit.  How much you earn through these offers will depend on how much effort you want to put in.

Proof of Payment: CashCrate

I've been a member of CashCrate for a few years now but wasn't that active.  It took me awhile to get my first payment, although I also set it so I didn't get the check until a larger sum than the minimum $20.  I started back up with CashCrate in the past four months and have received my second check through watching videos and using the Check-In Button.  Below is a photo of the check



The first check I did not take a photo of but you can see how much it was for through the earnings page from CashCrate.
