Ranked from most reliable to least reliable
If you’re looking to earn a little extra using the Benjamin App, here are four methods I’ve used—ranked from the most dependable to the least. Keep in mind: results vary based on your profile, available offers, and how much time you’re willing to invest.
1. Video Advertisements – Almost Guaranteed Earnings
Watching short video ads is the easiest and most consistent way to earn. Each video pays $0.01 and typically lasts 30–90 seconds. Most don’t require interaction until the very end, where you need to:
I can usually earn around $0.50 a day just from watching ads.
2. Surveys – High Potential, Less Predictable
Surveys can be a good source of earnings—if you qualify. Most surveys screen you first, and if you don’t qualify:
How many surveys you get depends on your profile and how well it matches available opportunities. When you do qualify, payouts are usually higher than any other method.
3. Playing Games – Moderate Reward, High Time Cost
Benjamin sometimes offers rewards for downloading and playing mobile games. Here’s how it usually works:
You can earn between $0.80 and $0.95 for early progress. However, later milestones can become unrealistic unless you’re ready to commit a lot of time. I usually stop after hitting the first reward level.
Tip: Always read the requirements before you start a game offer to avoid wasting your time. You MUST be a new player.
4. Daily Streak/Check-In – Not What It Used to Be
Originally, Benjamin offered $0.05 for daily check-ins, then reduced it to $0.01—and now, there’s no daily payout at all unless you hit certain streak milestones.
Some milestone rewards include:
It’s worth doing if you’re logging in daily anyway, but don’t expect consistent earnings from this alone.
Final Thoughts:
The Benjamin App can be a decent way to earn small amounts of money, especially during downtime. Just set your expectations—most tasks only pay pennies, and it can take a while to build up to meaningful rewards.
