★ My (on and off) journey with beermoney ★
Saturday, 16 May 2026
Long time no see, chat! I have a confesssion to make
I've been dabbling with beermoney sites and apps since 2013
It all started with a defunct app called AppTrailers (RIP 2011 - 2019, you was a real one!) with a shitty android phone and was earning 50 cents each video watched and cashing it to paypal everytime i made 500 point which was their minimum cashout. When that wasn't working out there was Swagbucks and InboxDollars and at first we were doing ok, BUT they're super heavy on surveys. Surveys? What's so hard with that?? Well they only pay for two things: you qualify and be able to answer ALL the questions to it's entirety. Not to mention you have to meet a certain ammount time to get paid. Yeah there's ways to "cheat" to get payouts from them but nah, i pretty much got blacklisted doing surveys FOREVER!!
I was pretty shit outta luck until i stumbled upon FeaturePoints which is a replacement to the former 3 because two were survey heavy and their ad video payout is shit, and AppTrailers got bought by Perk which made that app shit all around, so fuck it! FeaturePoints it is then. They did have a slot for watching videos and they got some games to play but remember, this is 2016, mobile gaming hasn't flourished yet so not many fun games to play, and i played it on my iPhone 6, however their minimum cashout is $5 and i barely had time to waste away tryna get dem miserable ass points to meet 5k points to cash out to paypal sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yeah, Adios FeaturePoints.
2018 rolled by with an eventful BANG: I almost lost my house, dropped outta college and running out of options and money, and at the mindset of "i refuse to suffer 9-5 with backstabbing coworkers and shit managers, sooooooooooo that's where PrizeRebel comes in. For the first time i was able to FINALLY get qualified for surveys--okay SOME of them, but it was the only site i can say i manage to get through surveys to the very end. My plan was to do like $5 a week (yeah i know, impossible) but what choice do i have tho?. Well it didn't work out no shit. Video ads paid barely a penny and more disqualifies from surveys so im done with that site. It's a damn shame because i could've had a success story about them on their site. They do pay ofc but GEEZ $5 PayPal minimum cashout like I can barely get 100 points doing this shit around 9-5 smh! Spoiler: I got a job cleaning offices in 2019 YIPPIE! Bye beermoney life, i hope i never have to visit you again...
A new decade rolls around: covid ofc, being trapped in my homes unless it's essential AND with a mask ofc, i did finally got a job at a food truck stand and made decent money, and the stimulus came. I hope y'all saved that $3.4k bc some ppl just can't manage money and wanna live above their means. I don't live above my means and STILL come out poor smh. Beside the point whilst working, i did took a break from art and social media and ofc: beermoney. Pay was going good until 2022 when we got less ppl coming in and i was burnt out mentally. This is the start of my JustPlay journey.
JustPlay was THE almost perfect app, and when i say almost perfect, i mean it! They have ads tab to watch and get coins, they have these fun games to earn coins and the best part of them all: $2 PayPal cashout every 3 hours. That's where the good shit ends. 3 hour period is the least of my worries but HOLY SHIT you have to do a face scan and if your phone breaks or want to move it from an android phone to IOS or an iPad or even an android tablet, well tough shit, your face scan is tied to another account so i'm shit outta luck again. This sis bullshit! I finally found a good beer money app that i can make as little as $2 per cash out add that shit up for, but nope! Can't have shit anymore with this god damnned face scan. What a bitch to do to get rid of that one factor that fucks up my chances of getting 2 pitiful ass dollars?!
I gave up again and just wallow in sorrow and consumed with lust. Got another job again, back to cleaning offices again. What happen to that last one in 2019? Well, I quit so im back cleaning a new building and working at the truck. What does that have to do with my beermoney journey? Making money! We all gotta make money somewhere right? I thought so lol. So It only lasted like 8 months because i got fired Valentine's day 2024 (thanks assholes i hate you too. Hate the boss and his wife and her sister too, pure cunts all around. So I'm unemployed again with $3.4k i can't touch unless it's a real emergency, and im running outta money. I got back doing commissions here and there but thanks to the shit ass political climate we're forced in thanks to the 77 million morons that DID voted for it, everyone is struggling and i still can't go to JustPlay because of their shitass face scan policy... That is until last month.
As mentoined, i got a new phone bc Samsung sucks now and i hate having to maintain 128gb of storage with bloatware that refuses to leave. Yeah i can use adb to debloat but i need shit to function so that's outta the question. Taxes kicked my ass so i need some money quick, also my laptop is showing age. Got a desk and im about to leave the laptop life for good. My mom mentioned mini PCs bc i refuse to get a Brazillian behemoth of a gaming PC so why not a mini gaming pc instead lol. I suck it up and back to my beermoney journey again. Checked out Money Video in the playstore. It reminded me of Apptrailers but this time, you get paid to watch reels from around the world. The only issue is that it pays in pennies, and for 3 hours for 50k points, you're lucky to even get 50 cents, plus watching vids is boring. I mean they have other features like games and spin the wheel but it don't satisfy me much anymore.
I got BestPlay which is JustPlay's cousin but million times better in many ways: better pay rate, easy games and best part about it: NO FACE SCAN YIPPIE! Ok maybe if i cashout a higher pay, then i'll worry about it but so far i plan to cashout $2 at a time, and their minimum cashout to PayPal is a fucking penny! No really, you made a penny, cash that shit out bc EU based apps get buggy, time zones be dammed. I'll explain why later.
So far, BestPlay is the clear winner but im missing something, I need at least 2 beermoney apps so i can double my payout so i can score a $700 mini PC (the same one my mom has). Im close to 35 years of age and i need my own money, i care little of playing the long game, so we meet again JustPlay...
OK JUSTPLAY YOU WIN, I'LL TRY YOUR SHIT ASS APP AGAIN. IF I CAN'T CASH OUT BC OF THE FACE SCAN CRAP, THEN FUCK YOU!!
4 years later. 4 years after worring if i can cash out again. So i redownload Justplay again, did the whole speal i did before but i noticed their layout changed a lot like we got daily challenges, treasure loot, carousel, and many things. The rules have changed tho. You have to watch all the ads to it's entirety or you'll get shit. The ones that pay the most are sponsored and Google ads. Offer walls still reign supreme in huge ass payouts. Boosted games of the day help too. Silly tricks and gimicks the folks on that subreddit be spewing lately so fine, I'll play along. Made my few bucks, ready to cash out, then do a face scan ofc. lo and behold: It got through... HOW?? i thought once my face is tied to an old account it's GGs, but what i learned after 4 months i can do face scan again. So you mean to tell me this whole fucking time they been doing that?? I should've jumped on that shit the day i got fired Valentine's day 2024!!! the fuck?! Ah well, all is good then.
Fast forward to this month: the first of this month my phone decided any EU-based apps refuse to work on wi-fi but mobile date is fine. Uh...what no bitch i need it to work on wi-fi! Never had a problem with my Samsung phone, so why moto be doing me like this. I did everything: reset wifi/bluetooth settings, delete cache/storage on these apps, nothing! I had to reset the router and it worked but my earnings for Justplay are gone so i was ready to throw in the towel again, except i ain't got 4 months to do all that again. So i added another email to my paypal and tried Justplay for a third time. Bestplay i ain't worried bc it's tied to my main email hehe. Cashed out having to worry about doing a face scan again and low and behold, i didn't have to do that again thank got. I'm planning to add another email but for my ipad but that's too much work and im in the process of upgrading it anyway so Justplay and Bestplay on my phone anyways. Y'all lucky i got 256gb of storage to deal with you haha!
So yeah, that's my on-and-off beermoney journey. I made over $30 in 2 weeks so that's a plus thanks to those two apps. I'll make a dishonorable list of other beermoney apps i tried and quit but that's for another time. Damn that entry is too fucking long but hey, we persevere! My advice: if you got plenty of time to kill, go for it. If not, then it ain't for you. All i gotta say is keep your jobs, it's not a replacement. It's moreso play money while you irl funds stay untouched. Alrighty, that's it. See ya!
