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.

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.

Tammy, thank you for your feedback. We currently offer plenty of $10 redemption options, that you may be interested in. We make it our mission to give our members the best experience possible with plenty of survey options and the highest payouts possible! There are quite a few members that earn well over $100 a week on EarningStation.
Great pay ... if one ever qualifies

April 28, 2017 by Kelly from United States

I signed up for this site about a month ago and, although the survey pay is quite high (most pay $1 and I've seen some for $8!) I've qualified for perhaps 1 out of every 20 surveys I attempt, and that's being generous. I hope you have better luck than I have.

Kelly, 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. For example, the survey quota may already be filled for your geographic location, age, gender, income, etc. Unfortunately, EarningStation has no control over this, and we understand this can be very frustrating, however we are working hard everyday to get more survey opportunities available for our members.
Excellent so far!

April 25, 2017 by April from United States

I just joined, maybe a month or so ago, and at first I kept forgetting about it, cause I'm using other panels too, but then I realized, hey this site has good payouts! So now it's one of the first I visit before I even bother with the other panels. Payments average around $1 each, on some other panels I don't even make $1 in a day, so I must say that alone makes it really good. They give you a choice if you want physical or e-gift cards but you have to pass some test in order to be eligible to get the e-gifts, and being I was confused with it, I didn't answer the questions, decided to try later, after 2 attempts they locked me out of being able to answer them, but they still allowed me to redeem for physical gift cards. I decided I was ok with that because most panels don't even reward physical cards, so I requested my walmart card when I got enough for one, and it came about 8 days later, which I guess isn't bad considering they estimated arrival to be 10-20 days and I was thinking "oh no it might be a really long time before I get it" but it wasn't that bad in my opinion. And I checked the balance of the card on the walmart website being I heard some panels will rip people off by sending used cards, and mine had a few scratches on it... but the full balance is there, so I'm happy and I requested another one. You can earn about $25 in a week with them which is very good because with a lot of panels, you can barely even make that in a month most of the time. So far this is one of the best panels I've joined!

*Update* I probably get about $50 a week now from them, so I can't really complain. I still wish I could unlock the paypal option though.

AWFUL WITH NO COMMUNICATION

December 12, 2016 by Rosemary from United States

I joined this site a week ago and only qualified and completed 3 surveys.
One for 720SD-one for100SD-and one for 520SD. The thing is. at the end of each one, I got a prompt from Earning Station that said "there was an error for this request". I e-mailed them 3 times with no answer or explanation at all. The only thing I can do is cancel my membership, NOT recommend this site, and give them an extra large ZERO!!
