PerkTV

Would their best app be for earnings?

I have only been using the Perk TV app. And by my calculations. It will earn $.96 every 24 hours. Provided it ran for 24 hours.

"Best" is very subjective. So much depends on the device you're running and the internet connection that you're running it on. So, you might want to try out a number of the apps and settle on one or two that work best for you.

I am redeeming mine for Carnival gift cards right now.

$1 per day per device is about right

I do a little worse than that these days - maybe 65-70 cents per day per device, but I have to kickstart them a lot.

I just bought 2 LG Destinys at Walmart for $20 each. I cannot get the Perk apps to run on them. My old Motorola Droid X runs like them like a top.

Ouch! That's a pretty good chunk of cash sunk in phones that won't work for what you want them to do! Can you load the SB apps on them? Maybe you can recover some of your investment that way.

You only need a couple hours on one phone to get the SB max of 86.

True. But that's a couple of hours that a better phone can be running Perk.

Maybe you can look into Checkpoints? I don't do it very much, but I have seen references to it on the Perk reddit. Some people run the videos for Checkpoints and make a little bit of gift card money. It might be a way to recoup the money you spent. Otherwise, save them to trade in on your next cellphone upgrade.

I have some cheap tracfones that won't run the Perk TV app. I didn't even know about the other Perk apps, but Marionnette suggested trying another one. Perk Pop Quiz does work on my cheapie phones. Maybe try some others?

Hey! Just a reminder to everyone that Perk fulfills redemptions on Mon., Wed., and Fri. If you cash out tonight by 11:59 PM CST, you will have your GC at some point tomorrow afternoon or early evening.

I have tried them all to no avail.

Last night after dinner, I finally got them to work on word search and was working at least until I went to bed. But this morning, nothing. My other phones are running without a problem. Makes no sense.

All of the apps occasionally put up a message such as, "Are you still watching?" with a confirmation button. If you don't answer, it basically times out. Or they just get caught on an ad or just crash. There is some level of babysitting required. Sometimes my phones run all night no problems, but often they are on a blank screen when I get up. Is this the problem you are having?

I was trying to find a list of the available cash out rewards. I know they have their Plastik, and by reading above I see others get Amazon or Carnival gift cards. Is a WalMart gift card a reward option? What other rewards?

There are a *lot* of options. Without even signing up, try here: http://perk.com/perkstatic/home

Thank you! I had not seen that page. At this point WalMart is my best option for paying for Disney trips so I'm glad to see that is available.

They do offer Target cash-outs as well. That's where all of mine have gone.

I am aware, but this is at startup and I am watching the whole time. It looks to start and then just gives black screen and never goes away.

I cashed out for an Amazon GC last night and I've already received it. I love how quickly Perk pays!

Agreed! The longest you'll have to wait is from Friday to Monday.

PerkTv runs great on both my Amazon Kindle Fires. I just started using both and I can go a whole day sometimes without babysitting. I was only making about $25 per month before but hoping to up that. I usually cash in for Starbucks. We travel to Universal more often than Disney and I believe all their resorts have Starbucks in them. It knocks a bit off our vacation budget for 4 coffee drinkers.

Now if I could only get PerkTv to run nicely on my phone.
