- CrowdTap takes like 2 minutes or so each time you get new 'quickhits'. It's basically a couple of 'one question surveys' and is a complete piece of cake! I am quickly beginning to think of this as my favorite site.
Every now and then you are asked to join a group/action. In these, companies like Toyota, American Eagle Outfitters, etc.. will ask you for a little input. Just answer thoughtfully and you get like 100 points per question. Reply (daily per group/action) to another person's comment for 25 points. Randomly win 1000 points for giving input (like 4% chance, which I've gotten twice). When the action/group ends, 10 people get like 5000 bonus points and a few get additional points up to 15,000. With 20,000 points being a $10 amazon gift card, thoughtful answers can add up quick. - Hits 4 Pay and Deals N Cash are two different websites that function almost identically, and both take less than 3 minutes each, usually.
It's easy to set up a profile on these two websites, and when you do, there will be an 'interests checklist' where you need to check off 15 of the categories. This will allow them to 'choose' which ads to send you. About 3 times a week, I get an email telling me I have new ads to watch.
When you go to the ads page, don't click on the ad just yet! Hold the mouse over the word [NEXT AD] and right click, and open in new tab. Go to the new tab and repeat until you have about 5 tabs open. ONLY THEN do you go to each tab and click the ad.
I always have my sound off, because several of the ads have sound.. and when you have multiple tabs for their ads, the time you spend on the site is very small.
- SwagBucks, iRazoo, Gift Hulk, and ZoomBucks are four sites that work in similar manners, and all can be done in a combined 10 minutes or less. InstaGiftCard is a fifth GPT, where I spend most of my time, because the rewards are instant.
+ With swagbucks, you would go in and do the daily poll. 2 seconds. Then go to the 'earn' area and click the NOSO tab. With each one, let the page load then choose 'skip' if you don't want to sign up. After a few, you'll 'win' swagbucks. Then go to the search area (I modified my browser toolbar to use swagbucks search instead of google) if you don't want to download the swagbucks toolbar and do a search for anything. When the results come up, click images. Then click video. Then images, then web. Change your search, rinse repeat, til you 'win'.
I think you can win like every 8-12 hours. While 700 Swagbucks is $5 through paypal, a mere 450 Swagbucks is a $5 amazon gift card. Amazon gift cards never expire and they sell a LOT of stuff there, so what the hell, why not? You can do other things on the site for additional swagbucks, as well.
+ With iRazoo, you hover over the 'earn points' and click [offers]. This will give you 5 points. Then you hover over 'earn points' and click search. In the box right below the search, look to see if there is a [TREASURE CODE] which is good for an unspecified amount of points when you hover over 'earn points' and choose treasure code.
Go back to search and do searches the same way as you did with swagbucks, til you win points. I think you can only win this once every 8 hours or so. 3000 points will get you an Amazon.com $5 gift card. You can do other things on the site for additional points, as well.
+ With Gift Hulk, you go to the daily poll and answer that. Go to the treasure keys and try your luck. Go to search, and do the same as you did with swagbucks. If you keep an eye on their facebook page, sometimes they send out a 'fountain of youth' code, which is good for bonus points, but those usually only are active for an hour or so, or the first 2000 people or whatever. Again, $5 amazon is cheaper than $5 paypal. You can do other things on the site for additional points as well.
+ With Zoom Bucks go to the offers area and at the bottom, you'll win a ZB (zoombuck). Go to search, and do as you did with swagbucks. Then go to the ZD Daily under 'win zoombucks' to see if you randomly win just by opening the page -- I think you win every two or three days. And you can do other things on the site for additional points as well.
- Minds Pay, Shopping Jobs, Vindale and Panda Research are 4 websites that after figuring out how to use them, really aren't that bad at all, and take about 10 minutes combined.
All of them function almost identically. They send you daily emails of what they call 'surveys'. But they are actually "sign up offers'. What is a signup offer? Basically you sign up to receive emails or a service and you'll get credit for doing so. I decline 99% of them. Some require a credit card, which I never do those, while others are easier, like getting auto insurance quotes, or having an online school call you to talk about their programs.
But lets get back to the daily emails. Opening them gives you a few cents credit to their respective website. When you open them and click through to 'view' the offer, and stay on the offer page for a few moments, you'll get another email worth more money for opening. Opening that one gives you a third that is worth more. In this fashion, you can make money on the sites without doing the offers.
HOWEVER, you must reach $50 to cash out from each site, and only a maximum of $25 of that $50 can come from reading the emails. Because of this, at first I thought the websites were nothing but spam and all that, BUT, I stuck through it, and got paid through 1 so far, and am close to payment from the other two.

- MyPoints takes a minute or two a day for the bare minimum. Read the emails and click through, to win bonus points. They email out surveys too, but I only do those if they are for more than 200 points, and even then, quite rarely, since I am trying to spend minimum time.
You can also make purchases through the website to get discounts on stuff, and get bonus points for doing so. Like I recently bought a gold pack movie ticket package for AMC theatres with two tickets, two drinks, and a popcorn for $30, which is almost the bare price for two tickets alone at the theatre itself! They have a wide range of payment rewards but I like amazon.com gift cards the best. 3950 points gives you a $25 gift card. (about 158 points per $1)
