Are rewards sites legit? Eight checks before you sign up

The business model is genuine: companies really do pay for new customers and survey answers. The difference between sites is how they treat you when something goes wrong. These eight checks take five minutes and save a lot of evenings.

• Is the conversion rate fixed and published? You should know exactly what your points are worth.
• Are hold times stated before you start an offer, not discovered afterwards?
• Is the minimum cash-out clear, and can you reach it without a bonus you'll never unlock?
• Does it ask for bank or card details? Gift card rewards never need them.
• Is there a published reason for holds and reversals, and a way to appeal?
• Can you find evidence of recent payouts that doesn't look invented?
• Is there a real company behind it, with a UK address and terms you can read?
• Does the support page tell you what to do when an offer doesn't track?

100 credits is always £1. Hold times show on every offer. Your first gift card is £10, after a quick check by a person, and no bank details are ever needed. Every hold and reversal has a written reason and an appeal route, and our recent payouts page shows real, anonymised redemptions.
