How to Use HeyCash

Once you’ve signed up for your free HeyCash account and earned your welcome bonus (1,000 points at the time of publishing), there are several ways to start growing your points balance.

Games

HeyCash rewards you for downloading, installing, and playing mobile games. Each game has a list of milestones that must be completed within a designated amount of time.

For instance, I installed the Word Spells game, which has seven milestones, each of which has its own points value:

While the small number of milestones and the potential to earn just over $27 may seem pretty decent at first glance, after playing the game for over an hour, all I earned was a measly $1.39.

Womp, womp.

The good news is, some of the games offer higher points and even limited-time bonuses, so feel free to look through them all and see if there are any of interest that may be more lucrative.

Surveys

I personally feel that this is HeyCash’s best feature.

The survey interface is simple and straightforward, and there are always lots of available surveys to choose from.

Surveys are conveniently categorized by:

• Best Match
• Shortest
• Most Points

Each survey in the dashboard shows at a glance approximately how long it will take, how many points it’s worth, and the rating from other users.

I really like how HeyCash lets users rate their survey experience. This can help to optimize your time.

For instance, this survey may seem great because it’s worth a lot of points, but it only has two and a half stars, so it’s probably not worth it:

As far as quality and relevance, I had much better luck with the surveys on HeyCash than I have on other apps I recently reviewed, like Cointiply and MakeMoneyOnline.

Of the five I attempted, I qualified for three and earned a few dollars for just a few minutes of my time. For the ones I didn’t qualify for, I was still given a few pity points, so all was not lost.

One survey I completed took only about 8 minutes and consisted of me watching a Wayfair ad and sharing my feedback. For that, I was awarded over 2,000 points.

Earnings per survey range from $0.03 to $3+ and take anywhere from 1 to 35+ minutes to complete. (Obviously, the longer the survey, the higher the payout, assuming you qualify.)

This is in line with other big-name survey platforms, like Survey Junkie.
