Welcome to Day 29 of our 31 Days to Earn Extra Cash Online series!  Check out the rest of the series here.

Today’s site is another tool for Smartphone users: Receipt Hog

How You Earn: 

Simply snap a photo of your qualifying grocery store receipt, and you’ll be rewarded coins. The more receipts you upload, the higher the level you’ll reach and the more coins you’ll earn per receipt.  Receipt Hog is a market research company that collects data from your receipts (and any surveys they give you), so it doesn’t matter what items you purchase.  Just snap your receipt, and you’re done! At select times, you may also be asked to complete a short survey, which will earn you additional coins.

You can upload up to 20 receipts per week and no more than three from the same store in the same day.

What You Can Earn: 

Currently you can redeem 1000 coins for $5.00 (via Paypal) or you can decide to save your coins to get an even better value. Currently, 1800 coins can be redeemed for $10.00, 3200 coins for $20.00 and 4500 coins is worth $30.

Tips:

• Receipt Hog allows you to submit receipts for up to seven days after purchase, so be sure to upload them before it is too late.
• Receipts from any store where you purchase groceries are accepted. You can upload receipts from national grocers, local shops, convenience stores, club stores, drugstores and even pet stores!

Click here to download the free Receipt Hog app on your Apple or Android phone or tablet.

Day 30: Earn checks or PayPal cash from Mindfield Online

Welcome to Day 28 of our 31 Days to Earn Extra Cash Online series!  Check out the rest of the series here.

Today’s site: Crowdtap

Note: I signed up for Crowdtap earlier this month to test it out.  I was disappointed when they changed their program to a sweepstakes-type method of earning after I signed up and decided not to share it with you all.

Then I was surprised to discover this morning that I randomly won THREE different $5 Amazon gift cards this past month.  So I figured I’d better share. 🙂

How to Earn: 

For every action you participate in, you earn points. (Click on ‘Brands’ at the top right of the page to find current actions.)

For every 100 points you earn, you will receive one prize entry in the Crowd Drawing for that month. At the end of the month, all prize entries for the Crowd Drawing will be pooled together and winners will be selected.

The more points you earn, the higher your chances are of winning prizes.

If you are one of the top 100 point earners for that month, you will automatically receive bonus points that will increase your likelihood of winning the Crowd Drawing. Each crowd member can win up to 2 prizes each month.  Top 100 members will also receive priority access to samplings and parties they’re eligible for.

Brands will often surprise crowd members for submitting stellar content and reports for Photo Challenges, Discussions, Social Samplings, and Hosted Parties.

Your points will reset at the end of each month.

What You Can Earn: 

Various gift cards (Amazon, Gap, etc.).  From time to time, you may also get the opportunity to receive a free product for review.

Tips:

• You will have a greater chance of winning the more that you participate.  However, I never recommend spending too much time on these types of sites.  I probably spent less than an hour on the site for the entire month and still won!
