How It Works?
EarningStation enables users to earn money by completing a number of different activities.
Surveys: You will be earning points for completing surveys offered through the EarningStation website. As you browse all the different surveys that are available on the site, you will learn how much each survey pays and what’s the estimated time for completion.
Offers: Through this section, EarningStation allows users to earn point by signing-up to other services. Some are free, some cost money and — obviously — get you more points. Nevertheless, you should carefully think about whether you want to buy something or not. There are free trial offers that may require a credit card; you can always cancel, though (if you don’t want that specific service/product).
Videos: Similarly to some other services, EarningStation also offers rewards for watching videos. You will have to watch the entire series of these in order to get rewarded for your effort. Luckily, you can do this on your phone (more on that in a second).
Coupons: Using coupons won’t get you many points — you’ll get a few — but you’ll be saving just by using them.
Refer your friends: And get points for that. EarningStation boasts an internal mailing system that allows you to easily invite your friends via email and social media. Once he or she accept the invite, you’ll be getting 10% of their earnings for life.
Mobile-enabled: EarningStation has its own mobile app, available on iOS and Android devices, that allows you to keep earning points even while on the go. Fill out surveys and watch videos while waiting in a queue, commute to work (when you don’t drive), or otherwise have spare time.
Redeem rewards: Points earned at EarningStation can be redeemed for gift cards with such popular retailers as Amazon, 1-800 flowers, Best Buy, Home Depot, Office Depot, and others. There is also the “cash option” that allows you to transfer earnings to your PayPal account.
