Google Opinion Rewards is the secret best Android app

The things I add are those that I know they exist.
For example: Telekom appears often in the options of stores that I visited, and I check it everytime, even though I haven't been to a Telekom Store at least for a year now.
I may have not known that the App tries to trap people, but I've been avoiding those subconsciously, so I'm good! Thanks for letting me know!
It's not just that. Those "where have you been" surveys are also based on your GPS history. So if you have not been near one of those stores, you are also sabotaging the results. To each his own though.

What about movies or books ; I personally spend my reward money on books though since you only mentioned a phone I can see that not being a viable option unless you have a tablet.
Pfffttt, I still only get one every 6-7 days :-/
The app used to throw one or two at me every other day. However, now, for some reason it throws like six at me once a week and they're all queued up. In aggregate it's about the same.
I find the easiest way to force polls is to just go near retail. I'm always asked the usual "Have you shopped here?" kind of polls within a day or even hours of going somewhere (sometimes it's right, sometimes it's not). Since I've been Christmas shopping that's probably why I have quite a few more recently.

yesterday got a survey asking 10 questions based shopping.
worth $.80
but other than that it's been .10-30 on survey on where i visited last and rate my experience. even the none gets me $.10. not complaining.

I love using my reward money on books! I transfer them to my Kindle though, so yeah if you don't have either a tablet or ereader I can see it not being as desirable. But, movies are a great option as this poster mentioned! You can watch your rentals/purchases through your YouTube account. So you could watch it on your smart tv for example.
Not a bad suggestion. I have an old Kindle I use for reading, though. But with all this money flowing in on here, maybe I'll make an exception and read something on this phone.

I started using the app about 4 weeks ago and made around $7.00 so far. Not too bad.
Finally broke the $100 barrier.
Incredible I'm only getting 1 survey every 4 days or so. Any other tips besides having location turned on?
Hm..,not sure. I always make sure to answer location-based questions as accurately as possible (correct date if possible). Also, if you freelance or own a small business, you get a lot of questions that way. I've been getting a lot of questions recently but it's been pretty sporadic. I also started at 11/6/2013, so it's been collecting for a while.
I've noticed recently that the repeat questions no longer count. I used to get the same "Have you been to [place]?" 3 times in a row sometimes that would pay for each but that seems to have been a glitch considering now when I get them, they no longer add to the the total. That sucks because you can't look at a list of surveys that need to be answered and skip over the ones that are repeats, so if there are any new remaining surveys, you'll have to answer the dupes first before getting to it.

I've been getting a ton of surveys every day being on my Christmas trip. Maybe because I'm not here very often?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I've been getting mad Target location surveys lately. Yes Google I like to shop at Target.
Thanks for the free cash!

For me it's Kroger's and I go there several times a week. There's also a LaQuinta Inn in the same shopping area as the gym I go to that gives me multiple surveys

With location services on, it's always asking me to rate places I'm near or go to like Walgreen's, Walmart, and Publix.
I've accumulated about 52USD in a year and have over 20 in credit so I can't complain.
they are just making sure you are actually answering honestly with those.

Yeah, I get a lot of Target and Publix too.
Just copped the $8.99 SwiftKey Theme mega pack. Thanks Googy!
I also forgot to add: I have Google Opinion Rewards installed on 3 different devices and strangely enough, I'll get surveys on one and not on another. And it'll be different surveys. Like today, for instance, I got a survey about where I've been on my tablet, but not on my phone. And sometime it'll be the other way around even though they're connected to the same Google account.

I got tons of surveys when I went to Seattle, ten days ago, but I just came back from SD for three days and I haven;t gotten any surveys. So odd.

I downloaded the app a few days ago and they seem to be sending me a survey every day. Usually its the same "did you visit this store" survey. So far I'm $2.15 richer for it. Not sure what I would get at the app store anyways but I'll just keep at it with the surveys.

This is exactly what happened with me.
Yes you'll need the location turned on. They need to know what shopping areas are around you.
Damn, so I guess that's why I haven't gotten anything.

I've gotten this survey every day for the last three days now. I like one-question surveys as much as anyone else, but it's kinda getting silly now.
The app basically only wants to know where I have shopped and how many stars I rate it. Nothing else. If Google ever becomes skynet, it'll know exactly when to wait at Target to murder me. I'm up to about $10 now and I've gotten no interesting questions beyond WHERE WERE YOU ON TUESDAY the 12th OF JANUARY?! type questions.

I prefer not to answer
That's the same as screaming "I AM A PIG."
I'd take it. I've only had like 2 surveys since before Christmas.
lmao, I got that one too and laughed.

I love Surveys and I love free money. And now I love you OP.
Isn't it better just to lie and say yes and answer the other 2 questions? I usually get about 40 cents out of those surveys doing that.
i suppose but i feel bad if i lie. been there, done that

I usually use it on digital books. Works with anything in the play store.

They haven't asked me anything since Dec. 2 my opinion on things isn't valuable
my opinion on things isn't valuable That's fucking terrible considering inflation in 2103. Is be surprised if you could even afford a hat for your global internet avatar with that pittance.
I got that too a few days ago. Guess I spend a bit too much on dining.
