Don’t Let Your Rewards Run Out!

It’s a nice feeling to see the balance in your Play Store account rising. Each time you complete a survey, your updated balance will be displayed, as you save up for a new app or game.

Google Opinion Rewards credit expires after 12 months, so you need to keep using the app and spending the credits. If you don’t, you’ll have wasted your time and effort.

A good way to stop this happening is to keep a list of apps and games that you want to buy. You can do this by marking them for later, by clicking the Add to wishlist button. Wishlist items can be viewed by clicking My wishlist in Google Play.

Be Ready at Christmas

It shouldn’t really come as a surprise, but it’s worth mentioning: you’ll make more from Google Opinion Rewards in the final quarter of the year (September–December) as this is when people are typically shopping online for the Christmas period.

Companies that contract Google to survey their users want to know about your shopping habits, so it makes sense that they’ll be trying to pull in this information — thanks to Google’s “instant gratification” surveys — in the period when you do the most shopping.

So, if you want to generate credits for the Play Store with Google Opinion Rewards, make sure you have it installed, updated, and regularly checked in the run-up to Christmas.

Be an Affluent Female

It seems that high-spending, regularly shopping women get more opportunities for generating rewards with the Google Reward Opinions.

If you’re not an affluent female, you can ensure that you’re presented with more surveys by copying some simple behaviors. Regular shopping trips to well-known stores is the best way to do this. Sitting around at home is not the way to generate surveys from Google!

Tell the Truth

“Cheaters never prosper” seems to be a slightly archaic maxim these days, but in the case of Google Opinion Rewards, it’s accurate. Somehow, they know when your survey answers are inaccurate, and will punish you with a reduced rate of surveys. This is done by providing you with “fake” surveys; if a you receive such a survey, be honest.

Trick questions might involve asking you if you went to a particular location that you didn’t visit, or engaged in a particular activity (perhaps skydiving). They’re easily spotted, but you’ll receive fewer fake surveys if you answer truthfully. If you lie, say goodbye to Google Opinion Rewards for a while.

Open the Google Opinion Rewards App Daily

While you might be taking surveys by clicking the Google Opinion Rewards app notifications when they appear, opening the app daily will put you into a good habit, and there is some evidence that quick completion of surveys will result in more.

Keep the App Updated
