Get-Paid-To Sites for Canadians

If you like surveys, but are interested in other ways of earning rewards online, GPT Sites (Get-Paid-To Websites) might be worth exploring.

GPT programs are websites where you can earn rewards by participating in different types of activities including completing surveys, watching videos, playing games, doing web searches, filling out offers, and more. They are not run by market research companies, but the big, trustworthy players have millions of members, millions of dollars in payouts to members, and have been around for many years.

Daily Earning Opportunities and Rewards

Unlike survey sites, there are opportunities to earn points daily, and payment thresholds are often quite a bit lower too. Rewards options are PayPal payments, payment cheques, or gift cards and luckily for Canadians, there are plenty of ways to earn.

Ways to Earn

The different ways you can earn on these sites include the following:

  • Completing online surveys – typically, daily surveys are available
  • Doing microtasks – categorize items, visit certain websites, perform web searches etc., to do simple tasks for points
  • Watch videos – typically, advertisements which you can earn points for watching
  • Shopping online – if you regularly shop online already, you might be able to earn some bonus cashback through your GPT site account
  • Completing offers – if you don’t mind signing up for free services, you can earn a significant amount of points by going this route

Tips and Tricks on Earning

Many sites regularly post special codes which you just have to copy and paste into your account to earn free points. As well, easy contests are posted on social media as well, so you might be lucky to win a bunch of points too.
