Freecash and Testerup

Anonymouse · 30-09-2026, 14:58

I see ads for these far too frequently, as I play a lot of games...not a lot else to do

. On the face of it you can be paid to do this. I have to admit it sounds good.

It also sounds like something for nothing, and anything which seems too good to be true is. OTOH I could use some spare cash(couldn't we all!) right now.

There has to be a catch. Though there is that 4.7 Trustpilot rating...

One thought that occurs: why isn't everyone doing it (and throwing the economy into what the Royal World Minister of Qualvista would call 'one whole joojooflop situation')?

Has anyone here used either?

Personal opinion here, anything that gives you a feeling there's something 'wrong', yet has a good Trustpilot rating gets thrown into the dark cupboard under the stairs

TheDaddy · 30-09-2026, 17:49

If it sounds to good to be true it probably is, I doubt anyone makes anywhere near what the ads claim

Mmm, I agree with both of you, and thanks. But it'd be most useful to hear from anyone who's actually used these apps.

Jaymoss · 01-10-2026, 08:50

well we are all waiting on you to tell us

Anonymouse · 02-10-2026, 08:26

Um...I was asking you guys.

Jaymoss · 02-10-2026, 09:37

Well, to be honest, never used it as I tend to subscribe to the idea that if it seems too good to be true then.....

What I can glean from the reviews is that it is legit, technically does work, but nowhere near as easy as the ads suggest. Play a game and immediately £40 appears in your PayPal account? Not exactly.

But of course, your milage may vary.

Mmm, thought it wouldn't be as simple. Best not, then. Thanks.

Still thinking about it. The thought occurs that if I never try 'em, I'll never know.

However, 2 things are giving me pause for thought:

1) The $10 signup bonus was allegedly expiring at midnight, a 'limited time' offer. This was also true 2 weeks ago. How "limited" is that time?

2) Allegedly payments are on the same day. Impossible in the UK, the banks don't work that fast. Though IMO they should; it shouldn't take much longer to conduct any straightforward transaction than it takes to type it in. <sarcasm>Correct me if I'm wrong, but that was the whole point of computerising everything, to speed it up.</sarcasm>

(We need a 'sarcasm' smilie!)

<cynical>Of course that destroys the whole concept of interest.</cynical> Maybe banking should be rethought in 2020s terms, where computers are a fact of life, rather than 1920s terms, when computers weren't even an idea (various mechanical constructs and Ada Lovelace notwithstanding).

(We need a 'cynical' smilie. too!)

Since when were banks not able to complete transactions the same day? it all depends what protocol they use to transfer it .

**Hugh** · Today, 08:17

Our Bank (Lloyds, was Halifax) transfers payments in under 2 hours (usually within minutes).

Anonymouse · Today, 08:30

They do? Hmm, never knew that.

Then again I seldom check my account...in view of how little is in there.

I am with HSBC and they transfer pretty much instantly they even cleared an 5K cheque through a cashpoint within 24 hours and even did the same time with a photo of a cheque
