As promised, to get ready for Amazon Prime Day, I’m updating my posts where I share my favorite survey apps and ways to earn extra cash (or Amazon gift cards). I have been taking surveys to earn money since 2004, so I’ve tried most of the survey apps that exist. Below, I list my favorite survey apps in order of preference. For each app, I share my favorite features and tips about how to make the most of your time. In general, I only take surveys that pay at least $1 per 10 minutes of time, or $6 an hour. I also take surveys while I’m doing other things like heating up my lunch or watching TV. That way, I’m always multi-task earning and never using up my “free” time to earn extra cash.

Paid Viewpoint
Doc’s Favorite Paid Viewpoint Features
- Most of the surveys take less than 5 minutes to complete. One survey took me 3 – 4 minutes to complete, but it paid $5.
- You receive $0.10 for any attempted surveys.
- You can cash out to PayPal or redeem for a gift card.
Tips
- Complete “trait” surveys as quickly as possible. Once you reach 10,000 trait points, you will earn even more, and you can cash out sooner.
Before you reach your maximum trait score, the minimum payout is $10 ($5 once you have 10,000 trait points). Check out Paid Viewpoint here.

AttaPoll
Doc’s Favorite AttaPoll Features
- There are poll surveys worth one penny that are very short.
- The minimum payout is $3.

Tips
- Keep an eye out for the poll surveys worth 1 cent. They take seconds to complete.
- The “download an app” surveys pay well for a few minutes of time. These surveys pay quickly, and you can delete the app once you receive your earnings.
