As most of you know, I have been an active blogger for IZEA since early 2007 (wow — is it really going on four years that I have been doing paid blogging?). I've tried out just about every new program they've launched, and was disappointed that the launch of WeReward.com did not include support for Android phones. I'm on my third Android phone right now, and have no plans to switch phone types or even providers (T-Mobile, for those curious).
But a few weeks ago IZEA unveiled WeReward for Android, and I was quite the happy girl. It's great that there is WeReward for iPhone, but not everyone has an iPhone, you know? So I downloaded the Android version of the app and got started. And here I am, just a few weeks in, and I'm already halfway to 1000 points, which translates to a nice little $10 cashout via PayPal. You may think that $10 isn't much, but when you see just how easy it is to check in at different locations (just like you do with Foursquare), you'll be excited to do something that comes quite easily. And hey, why not do check-ins when you're out and about — it takes so little time, and before you know it you'll be racking up hundreds of points and will then be on your way to a $10 cash-out!
What I like the best about this app is that I don't have to change up my normal routine in order to participate. Going to the mall, to the grocery store, out to dinner, to the pet store, gas station, wherever — almost all of these places are check-ins, which means that the majority of my normal routine can earn me some extra cash. Whoo!
Tried looking for this in the market place and couldn’t find it. =[
It’s kind of sad though – not all of us have Android, iPhone, or Blackberry phones and it doesn’t appear that WeReward supports any phone that can’t have an app. But it is nice to see that they’ve finally gotten with the program. Seriously – I can’t stand the iPhone and if I were to get a “Smart Phone” I’d get either the “Droid” or a Blackberry.
