  • @BiscuitMonster: Yes I had noticed that as well, and was coming to the thread to inform eveyone... I am still getting 2 points per view as usual, but so far, only about 1/3rd of the time and typically only on my 2 LG L20's.

    I have not yet worked out why I am getting a mixture of 1 & 2 points??

    I am still confused by this too. One device gives 2 points per 2 views reliably (as far as I've seen) but the new one with the 1 point per view seems to skip some randomly.

    I am liking the Perk Scratch & Win but then last night they've changed the values of wins on that so I seem to be winning less often and some smaller amounts but they have increased the top win to 1000 points. I'm still playing in hope!

    I've just started using perk TV.

    Have a silly question what are the tokens used for?

    I am going to buy a cheap phone only for Swagbucks. Then I am going to test this phone for Perk TV. Alternatively I could invest a couple of hundred pounds and order ten recycled phones from c7recycle.com. They come from the USA, so I am not sure if the investment would be worth it.

    How much would I make if I run only one device for 16 hours a day? On reddit they talk of $1 a day. Can anybody confirm?

    The limit is 5 devices only and we don't get the same points rewarded as the states

    i've calculated that its 0.05p per point not much but as a passive income its worth it in the longterm someone mentioned earning 100 pounds per month but i think that may be because they use the perk pop quiz app as well as perk tv.

    Thanks.

    So, in your experience, using one device as a benchmark, would Perk TV pay out more than Swagbucks?

    You see, if I invest in 5 mobile phones, how much could I realistically make out of Perk TV alone, without quiz and surveys?

    it really does all depend on how active you are on swagbucks i just do the basics reach the first target and aim for the second but i don't put much effort in just apps search games daily poll etc gets me around 150sb per day which is around 4500sb per month excluding bonus add that in and its 5000sb + some months are bigger i might try the surveys etc but i earn around 30-40 pounds per month from swagbucks without doing much at all.

    With Perk its just letting the the phones take the strain sometimes there will be glitches which will mean you won't make much but i would say you could easily earn more than 30 - 40 pounds per month with 5 phones or thats what i'm aiming for. perk can always change the way they reward you so i wouldn't make any solid calculations. you have to take in consideration costs such as electricity. I'd run one device for a few days or a week and see how much you can earn then multiply that by 5.

    It really does depend on how active you are.

    will you be able to click the yes i'm watching button during the day ? is it worth it to you ?
  • The core Perk TV app doesn't give as much as it used to but I find I'm making better money with their other apps. Like Perk TV Live which if you use it correctly can get a large number (the ads are shorter). And the Perk Quiz app is ridiculously easy to use (the spelling quiz is hilariously easy) and gets a lot of points.

    I use the tokens to play Perk Scratch & Win. It isn't passive like the other apps but I think it is fun so don't mind spending the time doing that while I'm doing other things.

    I have another question about Perk. Apart from the TV app, can you make money doing tasks on the PC, a bit like any other GPT site?

    I sometimes go on the website as there can be other videos to watch and things to sign up to (I don't do them) but I don't find much to do on there.

    yes i have and its pounds 20000 perk points for 10 pounds payed via paypal

    higher vouchers are available its cheaper to save for 100 pounds but it takes quite sometime to do this if you have 5 devices running.

    theres also amazon vouchers and others available which are cheaper. You can redeem monday wednesday and friday.
  • I've never bothered with perk browser so can't answer that :(

    Yes Perk pays Paypal in Pounds :j

    Targets are a little easier to hit if you reduce PerkTV to "Low Bandwidth", it reduces the quality of the vids by over half and so they run quicker which means you earn faster :D (start PerkTV, tap top left, option down the bottom of the list).
  • Apps are the fastest, favourites tend to last the longest (I've seen some that have been over 8 minuets long :eek:).

    Are you still watching is back down to 2 hours and the apps (assuming you have updated to the latest version of PerkTV), are currently only last about 1 hour 45 mins (so you have to reset them back to Apps before the AYS Watching pops up anyway).
