KashKick Review: Is It Legit and Worth Trying?

The rate our tester earned was among the lowest we’ve seen on the apps we’ve tested, so using KashKick may not be worth it unless you’re willing to take a very strategic approach and select the tasks that pay the best.

For example, we found that some of the games on KashKick may yield sizable rewards if you devote quite a bit of time to them over the course of a few days (5+ hours at least). On the other hand, we found that surveys yielded low hourly rates and weren’t very worthwhile.

How much can you realistically earn?

We tested KashKick for about 12½ hours. Here’s what we found:

*We’ve calculated the hourly rate and average time to redeem rewards including the $1 bonus for completing our profile (earned during the signup process). Pending rewards are not included.

KashKick doesn’t say how much users can earn per day, week, or month. Our tester’s findings suggest that casual users can expect to earn just a few dollars per week or around $10–$15 per month.

Other pros and cons to consider

Sign Up on KashKick’s Homepage

On KashKick, rewards are counted in dollars (not in points, like on some survey sites). This makes them simple and easy to monitor, which is a perk of the site.

How much do you need to earn to get paid?

To cash out your KashKick rewards, you’ll need to earn at least $10.

How long does it take to get paid?

KashKick says that payments are typically processed within 1–3 days, and we were indeed able to get our rewards within this timeframe.

Is there a limit on how much you can earn?

KashKick says that you can complete as many tasks as you like; there’s no limit. 1 This means there’s theoretically also no limit on how much you can earn.

That said, we did on one occasion run out of surveys to complete. In our case, this was a rare blip. However, it may mean that your earning potential is sometimes limited by the surveys available to you.

Here are the ways you can earn money with KashKick:

• Sign up
• Take surveys
• Play games
• Check out offers from partners
• Refer friends

Sign up

Signing up for KashKick is very simple and takes just a few minutes. You have to enter your email and create a password for your KashKick account. Then, click the link in the email KashKick sends you to verify your account.

You can also sign up with your Facebook, PayPal, or Google account.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll have to complete your profile to get access to all of the features on the platform. Click on the “Surveys” tab on the dashboard, then click on “Complete your Profile.”

Fill out your profile with the following details:

• Name
• Address
• Date of birth
• Mobile number
• Gender
• Information about your nationality
• Marital/relationship status
• Level of education
• Information about your household
• Information about your job
• The ages of any children you have

You’ll receive a reward of $1 for completing this part of the process.

Our experience

We spent about 4 minutes completing the whole signup process on KashKick, including the profile. We earned $1 for our efforts, as promised.

Take surveys

As you might expect, you can find KashKick surveys under the “Surveys” tab in the dashboard.

You can also find more surveys in the “Extras” tab. They’re mainly under “GRL Surveys” and “RevU” on the desktop version of the site. (GRL and RevU are both survey companies that are affiliated with KashKick.)

Our experience

Overall, we weren’t very impressed with KashKick’s surveys, as they didn’t pay very well.

We tried on a couple of separate occasions to access the surveys under “RevU,” but we saw only one survey there, and it didn’t work for us.

We also tried eight GRL surveys. Five failed and gave us nothing. Three were successful and paid out—but not very much. Frustratingly, GRL Surveys gave us no estimates of how much we could earn for any given survey before we completed it, but our earnings ranged from $0 to $0.49.

Finally, we tried out the normal surveys, but these weren’t much better. Of the 57 normal surveys we took:

• There were 18 that gave us rewards.
• There were 38 that gave us nothing.
• We quit one without finishing it.

On one occasion, we were told we’d been disqualified from a survey, but we still got paid. Other times, this didn’t happen, so KashKick’s survey outcomes were quite confusing overall.

Best survey experience:

Our best survey experience was with a GRL Survey that paid us $0.49 for 10 minutes of work (equivalent to a rate of $2.94 per hour).

Worst survey experience:

Our worst survey experience was also with a GRL survey we spent 23 minutes on. At the end, it told us that the survey had ended early, and we earned nothing for our hard work.

We also had a very bad experience with one of the normal surveys, which told us after 18 minutes that the survey had been terminated for “duplicate survey reasons” (we’re not sure what this means) and gave us no points.

Play games

KashKick has many games you can view on the desktop version of the app and then download onto your phone. You can find these in the “Games” tab or in the “Extras” tab in the “RevU,” “Tapjoy,” and “Adgem” sections.

Unlike some of the other sites we’ve tested, KashKick doesn’t have in-app or browser games you can play without downloading anything.

The games you download tend to require a greater investment of time to earn anything than the surveys, although their ultimate payouts can be much higher, too.

Our experience

We downloaded and played several games in an attempt to earn rewards. Sadly, our efforts were futile, as we didn’t spend enough time with them to actually earn rewards. However, our tester said she enjoyed herself.

Two of the games we downloaded were:

• Travel Town: You have to reach level 25 within 3 days to win $50 on this game. Our tester played for 13 minutes and reached level 2. If that rate remains constant—and it’s possible it would have slowed down eventually—she would have had to play for about 5½ hours to earn $50, which is quite a commitment (albeit one for a relatively large payout).
• Match Triple Goods / Goods Master 3D: You have to reach level 80 within 6 days to win $10 on this game. Our tester played for 15 minutes and got to level 9. At this rate, she would have had to play for about 2¼ hours to earn $10 (but, again, the rate might not remain constant; the actual time commitment might be higher).

We didn’t earn rewards for any of the games we played, as the time commitment was too great (and we didn’t want our tester to have too much fun). However, our impression was that KashKick’s games have more earning potential than their surveys—but only if you’re willing to put in the hours.

Check out offers from partners

In addition to games, KashKick features many other offers that will give you rewards. These include signing up to receive email offers, subscribing to services, and installing various apps.

Unsurprisingly, you can find some of the aforementioned offers under the “Offers” tab (on the desktop version of the site). Many of the offers listed require you to spend money to receive rewards, but there are also some freebies.

You can also find offers under the “Extras” tab, in the “RevU,” “Tapjoy,” and “Adgem” sections.

Our experience

We tried to sign up for several offers on various pages of the KashKick website. Some of these were fruitful; others were a waste of time.

Our successes included a $0.35 reward for registering with TryProducts, which is a website where you sign up and get sent free boxes of products to sample. We had to fill in a name and an email address, answer several questions, and then provide a street address for the products to be sent to. We’re looking forward to getting our free food on top of our cash rewards.

We also signed up for another survey site, Branded Surveys, via a KashKick offer. It took us about 15 minutes to fulfill the criteria to earn rewards, but we got a whopping $3.50 for our hard work. (You can read our separate review of Branded Surveys to see what we thought of the site.)

Other offers we tried were less successful. For example, we tried signing up to receive information on getting tested for genetic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); this offer should have paid us $0.25. We provided our details and completed a questionnaire as requested, but we didn’t get any rewards at the end.

We also tried to take advantage of an offer (in the “RevU” section of the “Offers” tab) to earn $1.24 by installing and using the OperaGX browser. However, we didn’t earn anything for this task either. We messaged customer support to see why we didn’t get any rewards for the genetic COPD or OperaGX offers, but they still haven’t replied at the time of writing.

Refer friends

KashKick has a referral program, although it’s more limited than many other rewards sites’.

If your friend signs up for KashKick using a referral link you give them, you’ll get 25% of the earnings they make from anything in the “Offers” tab. However, you won’t get a bonus for money they earn from surveys or tasks in “Extras” (the tab with various offers, games, and surveys from KashKick’s partners).

The KashKick website says that you’ll also get 5% of the earnings of your referrals’ referrals (i.e., if you refer a friend and they refer someone else, you’ll get 5% of your friend’s friend’s earnings, as well as 25% of your friend’s earnings). 2

Our experience

We didn’t try out any of the referral features, so we don’t know whether they work as advertised.

One downside of KashKick is that there’s only one way to redeem your rewards, which is via PayPal.

To redeem via PayPal, you have to verify your identity by providing some personal details, including the last four digits of your Social Security Number. You can then enter the email address associated with your PayPal account, and click “Kash Out.”

As we’ve mentioned, KashKick says that your payment will usually take 1–3 days to process, although it may occasionally take longer. Our payment arrived within a couple of days.
