Jingit: Get Paid to Watch Online Ads, Shop + More
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Wednesday, April 25th, 2012 at 12:26 pm.
Have you heard of Jingit? Jingit allows you to earn real cash in return for watching ads online, for checking in and shopping for select products at your favorite stores and even for giving your feedback to leading brands by taking brief surveys.
I just learned about Jingit this morning and easily signed up for an account. After registering, I was able to quickly watch 4 ads and made a total of $1.65! Now this may not seem like much but it literally took less than 3 minutes of my time. Keep in mind that this company is fairly new so there are not a lot of surveys and videos (but you should see more videos and surveys in the coming weeks and months!).
In order to sign up for Jingit, you’ll need to head over here and log in via Facebook (yes, you must have a Facebook account). You will also be required to have a mobile phone with text messaging (this is required to confirm that each Jingit account is indeed a unique person).
When you join Jingit, you start out with a $5 weekly earn limit. When you post Jingit to your Facebook wall or invite friends, your earn limit will increase $0.25 for every friend that joins Jingit through your wall post or invite. You will be credited once friends complete the sign up process and you can increase your weekly earn limit up to $10.
Keep in mind that you can only use your Jingit earnings to buy music at music.me or you can opt to get a Jingit Visa Debit Card and add the cash from your Jingit account to the card (Note that you will need to use Jingit earned cash to pay the $2 fee, so be sure to accumulate at least $2 in your account before you apply for the card). After you apply for your Jingit Visa Debit Card, your card will be mailed to you within 3 weeks.
If you are a current Jingit member, I would love to have you share your experience with us!

Check out what a couple readers had to say about Pinecone Research:
I’ve been in Pinecone for about 15 months now. Love it. I made about $60 bucks last year, whcih isn’t much but I got to try/test come very nice products, a couple of which I am eagerly awaiting market release so that I can buy them. Right now I am testing a very yummy product, something Collin would like alot, but due to confidentiality agreements I am bared from mentioning anything specific.
This is a great survey company. I’ve been a member for about 4-5 years. Payment is deposited within about 24 hours to paypal account. I’ve had lots of opportunities to test various (useful) items which they send to your house.
I have been with them for about 6 months and I get tons of surveys, usually at least 2 a week! It’s awesome, I love this survey company. I average about 20-30$ a month 
It’s my Starbucks fund !
I love pinecone! They now can load payments on to a card and they load the day after i take my surveys most of the time. I have been in for about 10 months and have probably made about $50. But the best part is the products you get to try! I cant reveal what I have gotten but it has been amazing!

I’m impressed! I just received a $3 check in the mail for a survey I took LESS than a week ago! I had my doubts that I would ever see any checks (like so many other survey companies out there) but this one actually paid as promised!
I love Pinecone. All the good things they said are true. Lots of products sent to you to try and $3 per survey. I get 3-4 a month. It’s great!
I love being a member of Pinecone Research! They are hands down the best survey company out there. They pay promptly and I’ve gotten quite a few products to try, too. I don’t get bombarded with surveys (usually about 2 per month), but I know if I receive a survey invitation, I’ll be able to complete the survey and not get told I don’t fit the profile after I’ve wasted 10 minutes.
I get about $6-9 a month for little effort! Not getting rich, but definitely good for a Wendy’s date with my son

Check out this email that I previously received from reader, Penny, about her Synovate experience…
I just wanted to thank you for putting me in touch with the Synovate website. I signed up with the site after you recommended it and have been taking surveys casually as they come available to me. A few weeks back I was answering some questions about dog food and one of the final questions was whether I would be willing to participate in future trials. I clicked “yes” not thinking much of it. Imagine my surprise when my daughter brought in a GIANT package from the mail man. I opened it, and…. a 15lb bag of dog food to feed my dog for 2 weeks and report back! My dog is really small and this food should last for at least a month and a half. What a great surprise this morning!
Check out some other comments from Hip2Save readers about their Synovate experiences…
Just sent in for a $25.00 check and still have pts for $20 more. I love Synovate surveys, I’ve done product testing on shampoo; dog and cat food.
I LOVE THIS SITE! I have received test products for tampons (full size box of 16), baby wipes, candy, baby body wash, & dry shampoo (a full size bottle) and I have only been with them for 5 months. I also received a $10 check just for completing the tampon survey from the manufacturer PLUS points to my Synovate account. I recently received my $10 check in the mail. WOO HOO!
I like Synovate, I have gotten $15 and two boxes of oatmeal from a product test. I think I have been with them about 4 months. I usually take 1-2 surveys a week.
I really like Synovate mainly because I like testing out new products. I recently got to test some awesome perfume! I haven’t really gotten much money from doing the surveys $15 so far and I think I have another $15 I could cash out now, so $30 for almost a year, plus sometimes the surveys are REALLY long.

Here are a few comments from readers when I posted this previously:
I’ve been a member of Valued Opinions for more than a year. Not once have I been offered a survey for more than $4.00. Most of the surveys are $1.00 or $2.00. So far, I’ve cashed out $120.00 in Amazon gift cards, which isn’t bad. If only I could save up the gift cards for something really good instead of spending them every time I see a $5.00 or $10.00 item I want!
I have been with Valued Opinions for only about a year and they are great. I get several surveys a week that average about $2 more or less (some a lot higher)! That doesn’t sound like a lot but, in this past year I have bought 5 xmas gifts from Amazon just from taking surveys! Pretty Cool!
I’ve been with Valued Opinions for a few months. I’ve cashed out about $80 in Amazon credits, mostly because I tested a few products, and was part of a focus group. Most I’ve ever been able to get for answering surveys, etc, though, so whenever I see the emails from them, I pounce on them. $1 or $2 here and there adds up too!

MyView Survey Panel: Take Surveys & Earn Rewards
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Saturday, February 18th, 2012 at 3:45 pm.
If you want the chance to share your thoughts and opinions with today’s top businesses and get rewarded in return, you may be interested in signing up with MyView! MyView is a global community made up of expert individuals (like you!) who express their open, honest, and valid opinions on a wide range of topics through surveys…from Gaming, Business, Family, Movies, TV, Book, Technology, and lots more!
MyView works with companies that are eager to find out what consumers really want from them and then convert their collected thoughts, ideas and needs into solutions that improve their products and services. So, you really can make a difference!
Here’s how the survey portion works…
To see all surveys available for you to take, you’ll need to log into your MyView account to see what is new in your MySurvey Center. Before you start a survey, MyView will let you know how many MyView Points (MVPs) you will earn for participating and the average time the survey should take (they don’t want to waste your time!). In exchange for sharing your thoughts, you’ll earn MyView Points (MVPs) which can be redeemed for rewards, such as gift cards to Amazon, Applebee’s, Kohl’s, Sears, Restaurant.com, and more!
Once you complete a survey, you will immediately be awarded the points promised. Even if you don’t qualify for a survey, you’ll still get points just for trying! To receive your “Just for Trying” points, they just ask that you stay in the survey until they have verified that you are, indeed, not eligible to continue any further.
Check out these positive reviews from readers when I posted this before…
I have been a member for a few months now & really like it. I’ve cashed out for 3 $25 gift cards. It’s nice that they credit you with some points even if you don’t qualify.
I have been a member for over a year and have about 150-200 dollars made from it. The great thing about it is even if you aren’t selected for the survey you get 125 points. Once you get a certain level of points you can get gift cards, etc… as stated. Completely legit site, and sometimes they even have product reviews. Some surveys can give you as many as 8.400 points which is about 6 dollars…
MyView is great! I have redeemed more Amazon gift cards from them than any other survey site! I redeem for a $15 Amazon card every month or so! My favorite thing about them is that you get points even if you don’t qualify. Last time I cashed out for an Amazon GC, it came within 36 hours! I was amazed!

I love Synovate. I earn $100 annually easily plus loads of product trials. They aren’t a scam at all!
I am on my third product test. It is like getting a full size free sample, and then getting paid to use it. I have only been a member for three months!
I’ve been with them for 5 months and have gotten $25 and two test products. I always look forward to the surveys and the cash incentive isn’t too bad either 
I have been a member for a while now. My daughter did the 4 day diary that earned me $70. I am waiting on $75 from them. It can take a while to get the check. They do not offer Paypal. I do not cash out very often, but I have cashed out quite a bit plus if u do no qualify u still get 100 points. U have to have a minimum of 5000 points which equals $5 to cash out.
