Cameo 4 or Cameo 5 Alpha?

Hello! 😊

For those who previously had a Cameo 4 and upgraded to the Cameo 5 Alpha, did you notice a significant improvement?

Was the upgrade worth it for you? I’m also planning to get the Cameo 5 Alpha, but one of my concerns is that I’ve heard the pinch rollers can be prone to getting damaged. Is that actually an issue, or does it mostly depend on how the machine is used and maintained?

Update: Paid surveys are still worth it (for me) Kahit medyo busy na

Sa mga nagtataka kung gumagana pa rin ang paid surveys, yes, kumikita pa rin naman ako kahit hindi na ako masyadong active.

Kapag may free time lang ako, nagsasagot ako ng surveys. Hindi siya malaking income, pero okay na rin pangdagdag. To be fair, mas malaki sana ang kinikita ko kung kasing active ko pa rin noon. Naging busy lang talaga sa life kaya hindi ko na siya masyadong natututukan.

Most recommended for me:

• HeyCash - Initial cashout is $5, then after that pwede na smaller amounts like $1. Wala ng Gcash option, so Paypal nalang din.

• Zoombucks and Grabpoints - $3 minimum cashout. Maganda dito kasi madalas mataas payout ng surveys compared to others.

Non-referral links:
HeyCash
Zoombucks
Grabpoints

At the end of the day, timing, CONSISTENCY and demographics talaga malaking factor sa survey apps. Minsan sunod-sunod surveys, minsan halos wala talaga for days.

Is this even legit? Do people really win from this?

Gcash suddenly opening other app after payment! (Tiktok, Lazada, Shopee, etc)

When paying via GCash, the usual process is that cashiers take a photo of the payment confirmation.

A couple of times, the receipt suddenly activates other apps on my phone like Shopee, Tiktok, Lazada! Like 5 other apps open simultaneously right after mag pay through QR.

Once I get back to GCash, the receipt view is not there anymore. Next best thing is the transaction history, but it's not as clear-cut as a GCash generated receipt.

Is it possible to disable this from happening? It's giving me anxiety kasi you need to provide proof of payment.

The Truth About Survey Apps (From Someone Who Actually Uses Them)

Thankful ako na medyo maganda ang pasok ng surveys for the last 2 weeks. Pero hindi laging ganito.

Ang reality kasi sa survey apps, inconsistent talaga siya. Like last Wednesday up to now, sobrang dalang ng pasok ng surveys. Nasira na rin nga yung streak ko sa GrabPoints and Zoombucks haha

Pero ganun talaga.

Guys, don’t expect na laging paldo sa surveys ha. Walang yumayaman dito!

Yes, possible naman talagang kumita ng malaki, pero hindi laging ganun. So it’s better to treat it as a side hustle lang, not a stable income.

Kung mainipin ka, mafu-frustrate ka lang with survey apps.

Kung interested kayo sa mga gamit ko, here are the apps that I’ve been using:

  • AttaPoll
  • Zoombucks
  • GrabPoints
  • HeyCash
  • Prime Opinion

Most recommended for me:

HeyCash - Initial cashout is $5, then after that pwede na smaller amounts like $1. May GCash, PayPal, and gift card options din.

Zoombucks and Grabpoints - $3 minimum cashout. Maganda dito kasi madalas mataas payout ng surveys compared to others.

Non-referral links:
HeyCash
Zoombucks
Grabpoints

At the end of the day, timing, CONSISTENCY and demographics talaga malaking factor sa survey apps. Minsan sunod-sunod surveys, minsan halos wala talaga for days.

Kaya kapit lang guys. Nawa'y pumaldo ulit tayong lahat sa surveys this week.

May 11 cashout using survey apps (HeyCash, Attapoll, Zoombucks, and Grabpoints)

Just wanted to share my cashout as of May 11~

Yes, I use multiple apps, pero tig-1 account lang per app. Makikita niyo rin yung app names sa bawat cashout 😊

No, I don’t grind all day -- during free time lang talaga. Usually early morning, late afternoon and before going to bed.

I’m just careful when answering surveys para mas mababa chances ma-DQ hehe.

Hope everyone earned well this past week! 💸

Money dust to everyone ✨

u/annon320 — 3 months ago

Last few cashouts before the month ended-- para back to zero ulit yung earnings sa survey apps.

Hopefully, maging maganda ang May for all of us and mas marami tayong makuhang surveys!

Ang daming pumasok sa GrabPoints and Zoombucks during the last week of April—sana maulit ulit 🤞

I asked yesterday if this subreddit already had a GC, but didn’t really get any response-- though some people said they were interested. (Nagcheck din ako sa socmed, and there's none (or maybe private siya?))

So we went ahead and made one.

This is for survey app users such as: Attapoll, HeyCash. Grabpoints, Zoombucks, etc.

Honestly, I’m not even sure yet how many people will be active or willing to help each other. But so far, we do have some decent members naman na hehe.

Won’t name anyone since they might prefer to stay anonymous.

What to expect:

  • It’s still new, so konti pa lang members (literally made yesterday)
  • We’re not experts-- just side hustlers answering surveys based on what we know/experience
  • No guarantees na masasagot agad or makaka-pass lagi, but we’ll try to help each other out

If you’re new or just want to share tips and help others, feel free to join.

Just to set expectations: this isn’t some magic server where you suddenly earn P700/day from surveys 😅

I decided to make a DC for survey updates/walkthrough/help and what not.

Comment nalang kung sino gustong sumali hehe

Thank youuuu

Hello! Just wondering lang. Meron bang GC 'tong subreddit na 'to?

or something for HeyCash, Attapoll, Grabpoints user?

u/annon320 — 4 months ago

SKL. In case you’re not aware, it’s better to directly withdraw in USD instead of converting through PayPal first.

So I’ve been doing paid surveys lately, and some of the payouts are in USD.

I tried checking which method gives the best conversion, and based on my experience, GoTyme seems to work best so far.

Just make sure your card is receiving USD (or avoid converting to PHP too early) before you withdraw, so you can get a better rate.

Additional note:
I made the transfer on the same day for both GoTyme and Maya para ma-compare ko.

STEPS FOR USD CARD CONVERSION:

  1. You just have to link your Maya/GoTyme card (Pwede virtual or physical card) sa PayPal.
  2. Message the customer support, tell them you want to convert the card to USD.

Message:
I would like to request to change the currency of my linked card to USD. Please set my card (Maya/GoTyme ending in ****-- last 4 digits ng card) to be billed in USD instead of PHP. 

I would like my card to be billed in USD so my bank handles the conversion.

Then you just have to wait until their customer support agents go online and they will process it easily.

  1. You can withdraw the USD directly to your Maya card na without converting to PHP.

Si mismong maya na ang mag-coconvert niya. Which means wala ng extra fees from PP.

These were all from paid surveys, and for the month of April lang yan.

Survey apps I use:
HeyCash
Attapoll
- Zoombucks
Grabpoints (Dito ako focussed ngayon)

I just wanted to share this because a lot of people think hindi talaga possible kumita sa survey apps, but honestly, it is -- if you're patient, consistent, and you understand how survey screeners work.

Over time, ito yung mga napansin kong malaking factor para mas madalas ma-qualify (Been doing this since November last year).

Use (or pretend to) products that match the survey topic
Most surveys say they want your opinion, pero mas mataas talaga chance mo if you're an actual user of the product/service.

Examples:
If the survey is about cigarettes: heavy smokers usually qualify
If it's about infant formula: parents with babies below 1 year old qualify more
If it's about streaming apps: active subscribers usually get selected

The more relevant your profile is to the survey topic, the better.

Consistency matters a lot
Survey apps track your answers. Lalo na yung huli mong sinagutan.
If iba-iba sagot mo every time, minsan they flag your account or auto-disqualify you. Kaya napuna niyo, if na DQ, parang tuluy tuloy na?

Ganun kasi talaga yun. If this happens, stop ka muna for a couple of hours.

I personally used my real demographic from the start, and I never kept changing it.

The only thing I adjusted was adding children in my profile so I could also receive family-related surveys.

Whether real or adjusted yung demographic mo, the most important thing is:
stay consistent with your answers. Walang perfect demographic. Lahat yan gumagana (Except sa students and unemployed, walang surveys dito madalas)

Don't rush your answers
A lot of people get screened out because they answer too fast.
Some surveys check if you're actually reading. Yung iba, may timer din. Pag mabilis, security issue na agad.

Take your time.
Read each question carefully.
Natural pacing helps.

Check the app multiple times a day
Some high-paying surveys disappear fast because limited lang slots.
Minsan paunahan talaga.

The best habit:
• morning: 4-7am
• afternoon: 3-6pm
• evening: 11-1am

Even quick checks can help.

Higher-paying surveys usually have stricter qualifications
Mas mataas bayad doesn't always mean easier.
Usually mas specific sila sa target audience.
Usually for high-income earners, VIP, CEO, etc.

So don't get discouraged kapag may disqualification.
Normal talaga yun.

Treat it like small daily income
Hindi ito instant yaman.
Hindi rin to "trabaho"
But if consistent ka, the small amounts add up.

Minsan yung akala mong:
“barya lang”
becomes:
“ang laki na pala after one month.”

At the end of the day, survey apps are really about:
- patience
- consistency
- knowing how qualification works

and timing

Additional note:
I know some people use a “fake” demographic, and that's their choice -- as long as consistent sila with what they put, because that's usually what matters most.
