Apps That Pay You!

My iPhone has become my completely indispensible little sidekick. It does just about everything and I love it. Did you know though, that you can now use it to make money and get free stuff? It's true! Now, it's not going to make you a millionaire or anything, but you can earn money just by going to your regular stores or doing small tasks. Here's a list of a few I've found:

Field Agent
With this app, you get paid to complete small tasks. It uses your location to find jobs near you. A typical job would be to go into a specific store, find a certain product, and take a picture of it. Most jobs pay about $6. When you complete the job you get paid. You can cash out at any time and get the money sent to you PayPal account.

CheckPoints
This app provides a list of stores close to your location and has you check-in to the store and scan specific products. There's a couple of other ways you can earn points too. Points add up and can be redeemed for gift cards or other products. Use the bonus code "npbunting" when registering for extra points.

WeReward (requires iOS 4.3 on the iPhone)
This app pays you to check-in to locations and take a picture or perform task. You can turn your points into cash on PayPal. (I don't know all too much about this particular app because I haven't updated my phone to iOS 4.3 yet).

shopkick
Earn kickbucks by turning on the app and walking into a store on their list. Most automatically check you in that easily! Kickbucks can be turned into gift certificates.

Pepsi Loot
Use this app to check-in to places that sell Pepsi products (restaurants) and get codes to download free music.

OpenTable
With this app, you can make free restaurant reservations and earn Dining Rewards Points redeemable for Dining Chequest good at any OpenTable restaurant.

Gigwalk
You use your camera with this app to verify things and perform Gigs. Pays pretty decent, like $4 per Gig, but most are in major cities (Washington, DC not being one of them).

AppRewards
This one is really time consuming, but it's easy. Basically you use this app to try out and review other iPhone apps. Most apps are only worth 10 points and you need 3,500 for a $10 PayPal credit, but again, it's easy.

Viggle
You earn gift cards with this app by watching TV on your phone. You can also earn points by watching commercials, playing trivia games, training tutorials, and referrals.

Surveys On The Go
Just what it sounds like, you complete surveys to earn money.

Field Agent and CheckPoints I've started using and are my favorites. I don't do them all...I don't have the time to do some of them, but they all are legit and seem pretty cool.

Feature points came out to be really good because I can stay home and download while making some fast cash straight to paypal.
I have made at least $100 easily through feature points just sitting on my couch
its easy.. just downloaded the app and let it run for 2 mins or through the tutorial and just delete it after your points go through! They add up reallyt quick and you get paid directly through paypal.
It works for BOTH apple and android phones
