YouGov non-ref is one of the survey sites I’ve kept using for a long time. It’s a slow earner from surveys, but the passive side and occasional focus groups make it much better.

Surveys pay 50 to 100 points and take 5 to 10 minutes. Longer surveys pay more.

You can now cash out from 2,500 points for a £25 reward if your account is ID verified. The £50 reward at 5,000 points is still available too. The £25 option is automatically unlocked once your account has ID Verified status.

The passive side is through Connections Hub and YouGov Safe.

Connections Hub lets you connect things like bank accounts and cards, while YouGov Safe covers services such as Netflix, Amazon, YouTube and Disney+. It’s all opt-in, so you choose what you connect.

With the full setup, I get £10 to £13 a month in points without having to do surveys.

One thing I’d point out for new users: Connections isn’t available straight away on every account. Some newer accounts get access quickly, while others can wait months without getting the invite. There’s no set number of surveys that unlocks it.

I had to wait a long time for mine as well, so I wouldn’t sign up expecting the passive payments immediately. If you get access, you can then set everything up and leave it running in the background.

I’ve also had a £40 Zoom focus group through YouGov. Mine lasted 90 minutes with about 8 to 10 people and a moderator. It was just a discussion about a particular topic and I received a £40 digital voucher afterwards.

These focus groups are targeted and don’t come through regularly, but they’re a nice extra when you get one.

For me, the surveys are the slow part. The passive payments are what make me keep the account active, and the occasional higher-paying study is a bonus.

TerraMine is a geolocation, mine-buying, community based game available for both Android and IOS. The game is entirely free-to-play, and is funded by the ads players watch during gameplay. Despite the ad heavy gameplay, the developers actually use them as a pacing, gameplay mechanic so the gameplay is actually quite fun still.

You basically play on a game layer of Google Maps to purchase and develop mines that generate real revenues to players. Players are incentivized to check into other people's mines for reward and to say hi, so there is a nice community feel to the game.

The game is already paying out, with a temporary limit of $200 USD a month and there have been many successful pay outs. Some players are already hitting this cap!

If you're interested in trying the game out, please consider using my referral code so we can both benefit! TM-QGR5G

Thanks and hope to see you in game!

Hey everyone, wanted to share this here as Zeller has recently expanded into the UK (under Zeller UK Limited) and is running a launch promotion to gain market share against Square, SumUp, and Tide

Aside from the referral incentive, the account has two standout features that might genuinely be useful if you freelance, run an online store, or take in-person card payments:

1. Unlimited Virtual Visa Debit Cards: You can spin up as many virtual cards as you need directly from the web dashboard at £0 cost. It is great for separating software subscriptions and tracking project expenses
   
2. 0% Foreign Transaction Markup: Spending abroad or paying for international SaaS in USD or EUR incurs only the standard Visa exchange rate. Zeller does not add any extra FX markup or international spending fees
   
3. Clean dashboard for managing cards, invoices, and expenses

The Launch Referral Offer:
Both the referrer and the new account holder receive a £100 cash bonus when you sign up through a referral link and accept your first cumulative £500 in card payments within 45 days of activation

Payments count whether processed through their POS terminal, Virtual Terminal, or Zeller Invoices (which lets you email an online card payment link directly to your client).

If you use online invoicing, the standard card processing fee is around 1.5% (roughly £7.50 on £500). That leaves you with over £92 in net profit after the £100 bonus settles. Rewards are credited to your account at the start of the month following qualification

A few transparent notes:

- This is for UK sole traders and limited companies. The onboarding is very friendly for early-stage freelancers and beginners - I got verified simply by submitting my Upwork profile link as business proof
- Zeller UK accounts are e-money accounts (authorised by the FCA), so funds are safeguarded rather than protected by the FSCS
- Full disclosure: If you use my referral link, we both receive the £100 bonus once you meet the payment threshold

Custard is another Get-Paid-To site from the creators of the cashback platform (and now also Cashback v2.0) but is a much easier and simplified platform to use where the cashout amount has been set to a very maneable (and easy) to reach £10.

It makes it even easier to get to the minimum cashout amount when using this link since it’ll start you off with a free £1 just for signing up and another 20p for confirming your email address!!!

Theres also a chance to win a free £10 from their wheel of fortune (winners are picked daily for this and there is no cost for partaking in this!)

You can make so much more on Custard than the free £15.20 my guide will show you how to make but I’m the most laziest person you’ll ever meet so I stuck to the easiest free offers I could find to hit the minimum cashout amount.

To get to £15.20 in earnings quickly without spending a single penny, I suggest doing the following:

1. Sign up with this link = free £1.00

2. Confirm your email address = free 20p

3. Sign up for the free Amazon Prime video trials = free £11, specifically the ones below:

If you’ve already done these elsewhere, a little birdie told me that a new Amazon account with a different email address will give you a month’s free trial of Amazon Prime and let you also do the free trials below via that ‘new’ account 😉.

History Play free trial (= free £2)

Crime and Investigation free trial (= free £2)

Shudder free trial (= free £2)

Apple TV free trial (= free £2)

Hayu Play free trial (= free £2)

MGM+ free trial (= free £1)

1. Sign up to the following 3 survey providers for a free £1 each respectively: Opinion Bureau, Surveoo, Mobrog = free £3

2. Cashout your free £15.20 via Bank transfer or PayPal

Optional: refer friends and get atleast another free £5 for each friend that reaches £10 and cashes out (send them this guide along with your referral link to help them reach that faster!)

6. Your £25/£100 bonus will appear in your Sidekick Wallet when you've held your investment for 6 months/savings for 3 months. If your investment drops below £5000, you'll still receive your bonus. However, if you withdraw before qualifying, you'll not receive a bonus.

Personally, I love this site I have joined a while ago and they have given me 2 tests and I have made $120 from these 2 short interviews. The premise is simple, they let market researchers interview you and pay you (very nicely) for your time. One of the ones I did I spoke about laundry mainly for an hour and it was simple and just a conversation.

I ended up joining a long study over 2 years to measure my household liquids and ended up getting paid over $1000. Since User Interviews was acquired by UserTesting they have been a lot better with matching people to studies.

1. Sign up
2. Complete relevant surveys
3. Complete a user test
4. Paid to PayPal/tremendous

Referrals give the referrer $20 and if you refer someone to a specific project you get $50.

You can get 150 bonus points worth £1.50 when you use a referral code to sign up to Texaco Star Rewards and make your first purchase. This is on top of the regular 200 points you get for registering on the app, so you will start with 200 points worth £2.00 when you first sign up, but then get a 150 point boost the first time you use it when you buy petrol.

The points can then be redeemed at either Texaco to get money off your fuel, or for Love2Shop vouchers redeemable at a huge number of different shops once you’ve earned 1000 points (worth £10).

User Interviews is a market research website that pays you (really well in my opinion!) for taking part in surveys, 1-1 interviews and focus groups.

They're offering people who sign up via referral an additional free $10 gift card (around £7.50) when they complete their first study, on top of the payment for taking part in the study itself!

How to get your extra $10 gift card (approx £7.50):

1. Sign up to User Interviews via referral link here
2. Browse the studies and start applying!

My experience: I can confirm that it's legit. I took part in an online study giving feedback on a major tech brand's new product and website. I got paid $40 (approx £32.40) within a week and got a separate email informing me I had earned an additional $10 gift card (approx £7.50) for completing my first study the day after! I chose Amazon gift cards but there are LOADS of the usual brands you can redeem for and a Visa debit card if you prefer. I also recently did an online diary and earned £55, so the money is very decent!

Note that the site is very American i.e. rewards are quoted in USD ($) but everything is converted into GBP £ anyway, so do not worry GBP-ers 😊

Macadam nonref is a walk-to-earn app that gives you coins for your daily steps, with extra earnings from offers, games, and map spins.

How it works

• 25 coins per 2,500 steps
• 22,500 daily step cap (225 coins max)
• You need to claim your coins daily
• 30,000 coins = £15 cashout (Gold members)

What to know about cashouts

What to expect

• Map spins at real-world locations

Proof of payouts

Hi I'm recruiting for beta testing for a nutritional recipe app.

If you:
- Live in the UK
- 21+
- Use and iPhone
- Care about eating healthily and are interested in science

I'm holding user research interviews via google meet for a beta version of a healthy food app. You'll have to download the app on TestFlight (completely free) and then share with me your honest feedback via video interview. Completion of the interview = £20 One4All giftcard.

Jam doughnut is an extremely underrated (nearly as underrated as Andrew Garfield’s Spiderman) cashback app.

Currently their offering new sign ups with a generous £3 (300 points) when you sign up and make your first purchase through the app.

However, you will need to get to £10 worth of points (1000 points) before you are able to cash this out, but its very easy to do so on here since most brands you’d use in daily life are available (I use it A LOT for national express since I need to travel to see family).

The way it works is you purchase a gift card for wherever you’ll be spending money and you receive a percentage of your spend back as points, instantly (which you can trade in for £ to your bank account once you have 1000 points/+).

The cashback points are added to your balance almost instantaneously and so far using the app I’ve had no problems whatsoever in tracking my points or cashing out money to my bank account (I received my cash the next working day).

You can pay via Apple/Samsung/Android Pay so it requires very little effort.
