This android app by Google has been around for a while but I haven't seen it posted before.

I was a bit skeptical about answering surveys for money but don't be put off! Takes a few mins for each survey of 3 questions on average.
I've earned £5.70 credit over a few weeks. Just remember to answer the surveys truthfully as some of the questions are there just to check if you're awake!

**From description from Play Store**
Answer quick surveys and earn Google Play credits with Google Opinion Rewards, an app created by Google Consumer Surveys.

Getting started is easy. Download the app and answer basic questions about yourself. We'll then send you surveys around once a week, although it may be more or less frequent. You'll get a notification on your phone when a short and relevant survey is ready for you, and can receive up to £0.60 in Play credits for completing it. Questions can range from, "Which logo is best?" and "Which promotion is most compelling?" to "When do you plan on traveling next?"

Had this application for a while. Got almost £5 play credit now. I tend to spend when apps go down to 10p each. I guess no one needs to download apps off the net anymore :smile:

I've had it since release and accumulated about 19£ worth. Spent my credit on whatsapp subs and random 10p apps that show up on here. There were probably only about 3 proper apps I bought. Not much to spend your free credit on tbh lol

i kept getting the same survey but forgot what I first put. didn't get another in ages.

Topper1900 to *Sloman*

29 Dec 15 #12

Usually the survey just asks if you've visited a shop and, if so, what was your experience out of 1 to 5 stars, not a lot you can lie about, apart from your shopping experience, which they surely won't know the answer to?

I have had this app for over a year and never had one survey on it. so for me its a total waste of time as Google clearly are targeting a specific demographic.

BLOSSOM143 to Dominatez

30 Dec 15 #44

best way to get the surveys is to have your location on, as they ask questions about what shops you been to. when out and about town that's when most of mine come in.

29 Dec 15 1 #11

Whilst it's great that it exists at all, I don't get anything like the amounts people on here seem to manage to get from it. I might have gotten 'maybe' £10 over about a years use, and even then I think I'm being generous. Still £10 more than I would have had so not a complaint perse but just a note that your mileage may vary.

I suspect the location aspect of it means that the amount of surveys you get will probably depend on how regularly you travel in your day to day routine (shopping trips particularly). As I don't drive nor travel very often and do the vast majority of my shopping online, that would explain why I'm not getting many surveys with it compared to other people on HUKD....

I seem to get sweet FA surveys now.
Is the only way to "reset" the app, to link your GP account to a different Gmail account and reinstall the app?

I have had about £16 from surveys over the last 18months or so. However i havent had a survery sent to me in around 2 months. Not sure why

I got a newly released album for free with that 50% off deal that was posted on here last week, coupled with my credit from this.

Transgendering on surveys ? Doesn't happen often on the net, does it ? (Not) ! :laughing:

generationz

29 Dec 15 #23

I got about £7 in 9 months. I tend to get more surveys if I make a shopping trip into town with location services switched on. They even asked specific questions about a hotel I stayed in. I guess they saw i stayed in one place all night which is a bit creepy. the surveys often only require you to answer a single question so very quick and easy if you don't mind google watching you.

While this is a great freebie and one I use all the time (£31.34 made so far according to the app), it gets posted here on a very regular basis.

How are people getting so many surveys? I get like 2-3 a month.

jordanc93 to cannibalwombat

30 Dec 15 2 #38

I get around two surveys a day normally asking if I have visisted one of the following listed retailers that they show and then I am asked to rate it out of 5 stars and normally get 20p-30p a question. I do however go shopping daily and visit both Morrisons and ASDA which I seem to get in the survey most days of the week. This is probably because I have Google location history turned on and surveys normally state they are asking questions based on my location history. So if you want more surveys make sure location history is turned on and you are doing plenty of shopping

I think they look for a certain demographic. At a guess I would say they generally send more surveys to older people.

My mum in her 60's gets a few surveys a week and has so far accumulated £43.58 since April 2014.
On the other hand, I hardly get any surveys and have only amassed £8.03 during the same period.

As for the lying about the answers and Google banning you, I don't believe that at all. My mum tends to just fill random answers for some of the questions. Especially for services or products she doesn't use or buy.

29 Dec 15 #32

Been doing these for about 6 months now and got about £15. It literally is money for nothing.

29 Dec 15 #33

Google will not ban you per se, only offer you fewer surveys in the future as you are deemed as unreliable. Unless you keep track of your lies, they will eventually catch on like when they re-ask you the same questions with slightly different answers to choose from. Unless it's changed, they will inform you when this happens.

As Jiggy Jiggy says, they target certain demographics just like any marketing survey, i.e. pet owners, smokers, homeowners, low/high income etc. I've noticed older females get better rewards than me on the same surveys.

Been registered with this app for a year. Never had a single survey. My girlfriend on the other hand has made nearly £20.

thats why i selected my gender as female when i started, i have made £22 in 8 months

sdduk2

30 Dec 15 #35

When i first started using this app over a year ago i was getting surveys all the time but now i am lucky if i get one every other month and only get 2-3 questions and make about 6p.

I've had it for a year and a half and got £11.21 so far, don't know how people get so much from it...

what do they ban you from? the whole internet, certain high street shops, walking home with a smile? or eating chocolate please say it ain't true ;(

Topper1900

30 Dec 15 #39

Has anybody worked out if you get more rewards for answering the querstions in the negative ie 1 star rather than positive ie 5 stars, I sense that might be the case but not certain?

warby111

30 Dec 15 1 #40

Great app, had it installed since April last year and earned almost £30 in that time.

*Sloman*

30 Dec 15 #41

Trust me a quick Google will confirm. It will say have visited (some random company) recently most will say no, but a few will think "oh if I answer this I'll get 50p"

You answer then you'll get a message saying "random company does not exist, blah blah blah"

30 Dec 15 #42

Looking at my history from 1st December 2014 till now, I've apparently earned £32.79, didn't realise it was quite that much. Dont get as many surveys as I used to either now. Didn't realise I'd spent quite so much with the credit either, have £8.89 in Play credit - nee idea what I've spent £24 on o.O lol.

I only get maybe 2 surveys a month now if i'm lucky. Most of them are around 10p...i haven't had a 60p one for absolutely ages.

I've had the app installed for several months. Still yet to be approved. Don't understand why.

Just signed up. Got a survey within 20 mins, answered 1 question about my age, 50p credit!

rkl

30 Dec 15 #56

I usually completely lie on the surveys - stating everything is great and I do everything they are asking me about. On the few times I tell the truth, the survey often ends quickly after 1 or 2 questions and I get a measly 10p credit, whereas I get 2 or 3 times that amount if I lie. On rare occasions, a survey might ask you what a previous answer was to see if you can remember your fib or not :-)

Topper1900

30 Dec 15 #58

I can't recall ever having a trick survey where I haven't visited, or at least walk past, one of the retailers listed in the survey. I can't honestly see Google asking pointless questions about a retailer you haven't visited just to try and catch you out.

Topper1900

30 Dec 15 #59

I'm calling BS on that suggestion as there seems no way transferring the money into your bank account and the app T&C's clearly state rewards can only be spent in the Play Store.

Good way to earn extra free Google Play money! I've been using this for over a year now and collected well over 20 quid.

Maybe my responses to the surveys haven't made me an advertising target, but I've had this since launch and answered every survey (which aren't that frequent for me) and I've only got about £5.

i have never got any surveys :neutral_face:

Astano

I have found, living in a town near all the shops that I get a survey the day after I visit shops / walk through the town. If I give an answer saying I've visited none of the shops i get 6p. If I have visited a shop I get the when and then a rating option which can lead to up to 40p. Being in / near a town certainly improves your results.

This is a fantastic app. It has paid for all the paid apps I have on my android phone.

I'm on about £14 at the moment - had the app over a year and have bought/upgraded a few apps and got some music with it.
It's not going to make you a millionaire, but then it's not going to "force" you into loading millions of apps just to use it up before it expires, either.

Morjit

5 Jan 16 #68

Using since 4th May 2014, have earned £20.01 so far. Back when I first got it, I think it had only just been released (App looked very different then) and there weren't many surveys at all. Like 1 a month or so. Seems to have picked up now.

midian09

5 Jan 16 #69

I used to get a survey almost every day. Made about £12 and since the middle of Dec it just stopped. I never lied. Have spent my credits on books and am grateful for the free money. Wish I knew why it stopped.

HedgyHoggy to midian09

5 Jan 16 #73

It's not 'free money'.

1. You had to work for it, and therefore it's taxable.
2. You won't pay any tax, because it's not actually money; it's credit to access specific products on a specific website.

Midian, I haven't had any since around the middle of Dec either.

A minute of my time is worth more than 10p. Isn't yours?

bex85 to HedgyHoggy

5 Jan 16 #74

The only ones that have taken longer than 10 seconds to do, pay at least 30p and don't take longer than a minute to complete. Normally get 40-60p but yeah I'm happy to work for 30p a minute.

Cheers OP, downloaded and already earned 50p.

Went from a Kindle Fire to proper Android tablet a few months ago and been a bit lost for apps (game ptemium currency etc) as Amazon credit was quite easy to come by.
