EarningStation is a loyalty rewards website that enables users to earn cash incentives and gift cards by online shopping, participating in surveys, playing games, watching videos, and much more!

How Earning Station Worked

Complete actions such as taking surveys, signing up for other websites and e-mail lists, clipping coupons, etc. You can easily become a member by using your facebook account, or by filling out a traditional registration form.

  • Complete offers – EarningStation has a wide variety of advertisers who offer many types of different offers, available for completion. These are typically things like trying out new products or services. Most offers will credit to your account within 48 hours of successful completion. Some offers may take longer, especially if there is a trial period involved.
  • Take surveys – EarningStation posts online survey opportunities on their website, and for every successful survey completion, you will earn points. Surveys are typically available daily.
  • Watch videos about all the latest news, entertainment, music and more! You will be rewarded everyday just by watching the daily video, and for every other 10 videos you watch.
  • Shopping – Like most GPT sites, EarningStation lists a variety of different online retailers on their website. Simply click through to the retailer of your choice using EarningStations website, and get “cashback” on your purchases.
  • Referring Friends - EarningStation referral program offers you the opportunity to earn 10% (excluding bonus codes, sweepstakes wins, or account adjustment) of what your referral’s earn.

Payment and Rewards

You can redeem your cash for pre-paid gift cards, Virtual Gift cards and PayPal payments. Gift card options range from restaurants to retail stores. Physical gift cards are mailed, which means it takes between 4-6 weeks to receive the cards. Virtual Gift cards and PayPal payments are the fastest option to receive.

Community Features

EarningStation is a relative new kid on the block, as they were technically established in 2011, but have only really been active since 2014.

Eligibility: EarningStation is open to USA residents 18+ and eligible minors who have obtained parental permission.

I’ve been doing this type of thing for years. i signed up today just to write this review and warn others.

Do not waste your time here and/or Don’t proceed to earn money on this site. I had to file a claim with BBB see below. I was on a earning streak for months, but it didn’t come easy, it took all day and night to keep it up. They started to remove my options to earn to break my streak, but I continued on until they eventually and fraudulently told me they were shutting down. See BBB complaint below:

The business proceeds to defraud its customers by manipulating practices, policies and procedures without notification.. In the midst of operation on the site the firm went from daily goal value of 25 to 35 cents, they changed the value of video payouts whilst in midst of watching them, they proceed to take them down all together, then while I have a balance in my account, put flashing announcement on top of web page they will cease operations May 1. This note is not posted on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram nor my email. They also abruptly remove $10 gift cards so one cannot cash out. I am demanding my monetary balance via PayPal as of today, as I have no means to request it from their site.

There response— please contact us via support. Which I did numerous times with screen shots as proof. BBB marked this as answered? but customer dissatisfied. Nonsense! They should be held accountable for unethical behavior. BBB Rating will soon be F.

Waste of time if retired

August 21, 2018 by Judy from United States

Definitely a waste of time if you're a retiree or over 65.. you're either immediately disqualified or you spend 20 minutes answering questions only to be so. Absolutely ridiculous. After responding to over 55 surveys without one going to completion, I am voting with my feet and exiting.

Judy, we are sorry to hear about your experience. We wish everyone was able to qualify for every survey, however research companies develop surveys with specific criteria needed to fulfill. Unfortunately, EarningStation has no control over this, but we are working hard everyday to get more survey opportunities available for our members.

Not using this site again. Just spent a good chunk of my time and my free time and haven't got my reward.

No crediting every time I do a survey, whats the point of using it.

Horrible surveys and bad customer service

June 14, 2018 by Jason from United States

If you want to use the worst site, this is it. I can't comprehend how many times I took a survey where I was disqualified 3 questions away from completion.

Who's in charge of checking these surveys, if I spend 30 minutes of my time taking it, I expect to be paid. Customer service apologies but tells me there's nothing they can do. Why would the survey be accepted in the first place?

I'm done with using the site as there are a lot of other options out there.

Total Waste of Time!

April 17, 2018 by KIMBERLY from United States

I am getting ready to quit. It is a total waste of time. They will send me pre-qualified survey, and i always screen out.I am fortunate to make two cents once in awhile. I just did a survey, and made it to the end...and was not paid for it as of yet. If my score does change by tomorrow, I am quitting. Don't waste your time. I will never get paid for the time I put into it because it will take me forever to earn what I need to cash out.
