Daily Surveys

Daily surveys allow you to earn points by completing a set of questions. You can find daily surveys in a couple of places:

  • Your email - you will receive daily email offers to your email every day
  • Surveys & Offers - Login and click Earn Points > Daily Surveys.

You can take daily surveys once every 24 hours. Please keep in mind the following:

  • You may not qualify for surveys all the time. One easy way to see what surveys people are having success with is by visiting our 'Recently Credited' offers. To access this, simply click on Recently Credited under the Community header. This will show you what offers others are being credited for.
  • If you do not get credited, you must provide a screenshot so we can help troubleshoot the issue.

Offers

You can also earn ZBucks through offers. Offers can be one of the following

  • Sign up with a website - Get ZBucks when you sign up with other websites
  • Download - Get ZBucks to download other software
  • Emails - Get ZBucks for providing your email
  • CC Offers - Get paid to buy something with your credit card
  • Mobile - Subscribe to mobile offers. These are usually PIN confirmations and will bill you monthly & More!

Offers usually require you to perform a set of actions and once those actions or complete, you will earn ZBucks. Offers can be accessed through a few places:

  • ZB Offers
  • Tapjoy Offers
  • Gambit Offers
  • Peanut Labs
  • Matomy
  • Super Rewards

All the above options include different offers - free, paid, email, trials & products. In the case of non-crediting, it is very important to keep confirmation emails and screenshots of the last confirmation page.

Shopping

Shopping is one of the easiest ways to build your ZoomBucks account. We have partnered with over 500 online stores. The way shopping works is as follows:

  • Visit our shopping directory and find a website that you are interested in buying from. In this example, I will choose ShoeBuy.
  • Click the Shoebuy logo on the shopping homepage.
  • Click any of the links to visit ShoeBuy. You can visit through a coupon or the general link that says "Earn X per dollar spent."
  • Once you get to Shoebuy, shop as you normally would and place your order.
  • Once your order is placed, you will receive 8 ZBucks for every dollar spent (credited on the 15th and 30th of every month). If I spent $100, I would receive 800 ZBucks for this order.

Shopping can be accessed from the left-hand navigation bar and is integrated with our search results. For example if you perform a search and a ZoomBucks partner is found, your search result will look something like this:

Daily Offer Wall Point

Visit any of the offer walls (Tapjoy, Gambit, Matomy, Super Rewards, Trialpay, Tasks, Peanut Labs) daily and receive one point on a daily basis.

There are rules to searching and breaking the rules can get your account banned. Here are the rules:

  • No over searching - Searching too often in a short period of time.
  • Legitimate searching - Use the search ONLY for legitimate searching. Do not search for the sake of winning ZBucks. Winning occurs as a result of legitimate searching.
  • Only click links you are interested in - Clicking on random links will not increase your chances of winning and can get you banned.
