Once you have installed the App, just continue to watch TV as you normally do, and your rewards will begin to pile up with regular weekly awards.

You can view the results by clicking on the results page. This panel is especially good for those who watch TV shows in a variety of ways such as live, streaming, using DVR, etc and also are using their mobile devices simultaneously.

Many Ways to Earn Rewards!

At Media Insiders, there are many ways to collect rewards:

  • TV Activity: If the background App hears a TV running, then you will automatically begin collecting rewards. 1 TV Day = One day of all of the television programs captured by the App
  • M-Connect: This is a virtual private network (VPN) that can be provided to panel members. Joining the M-Connect VPN will allow you to make additional rewards.
  • Survey Participation: Insiders are periodically asked to share their opinions through surveys via email or App for extra points.
  • Refer a Friend: Earn rewards for referring a friend who becomes active for 4 weeks

How Much Can I Earn?

For each household, you can have a maximum of 3 mobile devices and one PC registered. If you have all four running and are tracking your TV behaviors, then you will earn $15/monthly. Panel members will also receive $5 for each device installed, and get a bonus of $5 after the 12th week. Remember that Media Insiders offers more rewards for their users who are continuously active! Active users can earn $185 a year, wow! TV activity and Mobile Meter awards are collected on a Monday to Sunday basis and then distributed on the following week in a quick and automatic process.

They are the GREATEST!!!!

December 17, 2015 by Tessie from United States

I think i have been with Media Insiders since they probably started. I love everything about them. The program runs in the background of all of my devices. They pay out almost immediately and i receive surveys a few times a week. They give you weekly updates and are not intrusive. What more could you ask for. Everytime i get a new device i make sure that is the 1st app i install. If other apps require me to uninstall Media Insiders to run their app i definitely do not do it. I am a Media Insiders user for life.

My favorite

I installed app, then sat back and did nothing. This is my favorite.

Simply rewarding

June 29, 2015 by Rachel from United States

I have had wonderful success with this panel. I downloaded an app to my phone and tablet. I earn points every single week. I usually get at least 10 dollars in amazon gift cards every month just for having the app on my phone. It is totally worth it to me.

Great mobile app

August 5, 2013 by Michelle from United States

This is an app you download to your mobile phone or tablet. You never know it's on there until you get your monthly $5 tango card. They also have sweepstakes every month which you can choose to be entered into that instead of getting a monthly tango card. You can have up to 3 devices downloaded with the app where you can make $15 each month for doing nothing. They send surveys every now and then but not very often. It's a great way to earn money every month even though it's not much, it adds up with all of the other great survey sites. They always email your gift card every month and I have never had a problem with them. Highly recommend.
