7 Android or iPhone Reward Earning Apps

If you are having an iPhone or Android phone, then you will find this post very useful. You will b surprised to know that one an earn money (or rewards) with the cell phones in spare time like in the bus, in train or simply while just with friends. One can be rewarded for watching television, going shopping or buying music from the iTunes store.In fact, you can collect points with the punch of a button on your iPhone or Android smartphone and redeem those points for gift cards, discounts, and gadgets like tablets. That expensive smartphone you are carrying may be a key for earning a little pocket money. So it goes like this:-

1. Gigwalk:-

Gigwalk describes itself as a "mobile work marketplace." You can earn a second paycheck using Gigwalk's iPhone or Android mobile apps and performing simple field work, such as mystery shopping, delivering items, testing mobile apps, taking photos, and more. Available in major US metro areas, Gigwalk pays from $3 to $90 per task, depending on your experience and reputation. (High-earning Gigwalk earners can make more than a thousand in a week or several hundred in a weekend doing many small tasks.)

 2. Field Agent:-

Similar to Gigwalk, Field Agent turns iPhone users into mobile workers who scan barcodes, mystery shop, check prices, take polls, explore neighborhoods, and more using their smartphones. In return, agents get paid between $3 and $12 for each task. It may not seem like a lot of money, but when you're bored waiting on a line, might as well take a survey and earn a few bucks--that can really add up.

3. We Reward:- 

Another rewarding app is WeReward, which gives you points for completing tasks or just checking in at specific locations. Those points are redeemable for cash (1,000 points = $10, so a penny per point). Both iPhone and Android users can join the program, and you'll also need a Twitter, Facebook or Foursquare account. An example task for "oinkers" is to take a picture at a location or with a product for 50 points (50 cents). 

4. Shop Kick:-

Shopkick rewards you just for going shopping--whether or not you buy an item. If you walk in with your smartphone, you earn "kicks" redeemable for giftcards or store discounts (so you're not actually getting pocket money but getting savings instead). When you scan items or buy from partner stores, you earn even more kicks. Available as an app for both iPhone and Android.

With this easy-to-use app, all you have to do is simply walk into a participating store, check in via the app, and earn points. Points can also accumulate by scanning items and recent purchases. Since the points can be redeemed for rewards like gift cards, vouchers and discounts at your favorite stores, more shopping is encouraged. The app works by picking up a Shopkick signal — an inaudible sound emitted in each partner retailer that verifies a user is in-store — then rewards you for visiting in the form of "kicks."

5. Check Points:- 

If you walk into a store and fire up checkpoints, you'll see a list of featured items. You can scan products and earn points, which are redeemable for prizes like iTunes and Amazon gift cards, airline miles, and gadgets. CheckPoints is now available in more than two million retail locations, and their partnerships are with the brands, not with retailers. “If you think about it, brands offer consumers discounts all the time on the receipt you get after checking out," says Dave Heinzinger, a CheckPoints spokesperson. "Why not give them these offers before they check out?"

6. SwagBucks:- 

Get paid to search the web, on your phone or on your computer. Swag-bucks is a popular online rewards program, and both Android and iPhone users can make money on the go. Mobile searches, daily polls, and other ways to earn Swag Bucks are available from your phone. For about 450 points, you can earn a $5 gift card--that's the equivalent of about 1,000 searches but there are lots of ways to earn points (including random drawings).

7. iPoints:- 

Since we already have to pay to purchase music and movies on iTunes, why not be rewarded for it in the process? With this free app, a user will accumulate points, based on the song or movie purchased through the iTunes store. According to the app, users earn 170 iPoints for every $1 spent in iTunes. Points can be redeemed for other in-store apps or gift cards.
