My Experience With Instant Rewards

You all know how focused I am on saving money, so I was super excited to review the Instant Rewards App for iPhone.

I simply downloaded the free App and got ready to save! Registration was quick, asking for my name, email, and password creation. My first impression was that this App reminds me of the survey sites I used to stalk in order to make a few pennies—only better!

The first screen brings you to an “Offers” page. This App uses credit points instead of a cash value for each task. I chose to complete an offer for a Facebook share worth 10 credits. The tasks are really easy and nothing at all like those scammy survey tasks I wasted so much time on. It claims you can make up to $10 a day by completing tasks. If this is true, I will be using it daily!

The offer I chose asked me to copy a link for the Instant Rewards app and share it on my Facebook. I would have liked to have an actual share to Facebook button on the App, but loved that I could share anything I wanted to my friends instead of a generic ad message. I took a screenshot and uploaded it to the Instant Rewards app and tried to claim my 10 credits. There was no way to tell if the screenshot uploaded to the App, which was really frustrating and I clicked “Claim” without a screenshot and was worried I did not receive my credits. I found them “Pending” under the rewards tab and was happy again. It took about 30 seconds total to complete the offer. I then moved on to the next section.

Surveys are found under the “Tasks” tab and there several things to play around with here. You will have the opportunity to download other Apps for credits , free trials, and about a hundred other tasks that take no time at all to complete!

I had no available surveys to complete, which is actually a good thing because I didn’t have to spend endless time finding out halfway through a survey that I didn’t qualify. The Instant Rewards App seems to only send surveys that you actually qualify for—awesome! (That’s the number one annoying thing about survey sites: wasting precious time!)

The videos section was my favorite. The first video I watched was 15 seconds long and I was awarded one credit. There were no questions to answer about the video.

Cash out to PayPal is the biggest draw to this app!! I hate waiting around for paper checks! Cash out is only $7.50, so this is a doable amount compared to other sites. (Don’t get me started on the 3 months it took me hit the $30 Inbox Dollars threshold.)

Pros:
Easy interface
No fake surveys you don’t qualify for
Short 15-30 second videos
Cash out to PayPal
Variety of non-spammy tasks

Cons:
Could not determine value of credits to cash (One credit= one cent)
No tour of App after download.
