How to use google opinion rewards for in app purchases

Ratings and reviews

I've actually gotten a decent amount of money, so far a total of $52 since 2018. However, I do believe the money does expire, although I usually spend it quickly for small in-app purchases. The more you travel and go places, the more surveys you will receive (as long as you have location on), For example, I traveled a lot in my town in August and revived 8 different surveys, but only received 3 in total for all of September and October since I have been at home more.

I really like the app, it gives me just enough money for the small stuff in my games, but after a while, I haven't seemed to get anymore surveys. They came and went before, but now it's so thined out, that my phone disables the app because of how long I've been off of it, before I get another survey. I usually went places, and it would pop up where I went as a survey, but I've been going to a lot of places, very often, and I still have yet to get another one.

This is a good app if you are ok giving Google marketing data in exchange for free mobile apps. It makes it significantly easier to get premium games on the play store, though it would also be useful to procure anything from the play store: books, movies, utility apps. My one qualm is that the money expires one year after you get it, but it is a non-issue compared to the benefit of free stuff.

There are several ways within Habitica to acquire gems, including for free by contributing to Habitica. To learn more, see the article on Gems, located here on the Wiki.

If you want to subscribe to Habitica but cannot, you can still buy gems directly. Remember that this is the direct purchase of gems and not a subscription; buying gems this way will not gain you Mystic Hourglasses.

One of the possible ways to do this is by using money earned with Google Rewards. The Google Rewards app provides Google with the user's searches, history, and location. Based on these, the app will prompt the user to answer short surveys. After completing the survey, Google Play credit will be added to the user's account. This is the monetary credit with which the gems are purchased.

This is not a fast way to buy gems. The surveys are not frequent or abundant, so patience is required. It may take several months to get enough Google Play credit through answering Google Rewards surveys. So, be patient.

Buying Gems with the balance earned through Google Rewards[]

To buy gems directly on the app, follow these steps:

  • Go to Menu → Gems & Subscription;
