20 Cogs

Summary

Note: Links may award me referral rewards such as in-app points or money.

20 Cogs is a service which rewards you with cash for completing offers but only pays out after 20 offers have been completed. Although I was initially nervous that it would fail to pay out, I can confirm that it pays out quickly and I found this to be a good way of making extra money.

How does it work?

20 Cogs is a service which rewards you for taking out free trials, signing up to survey sites, gambling and more.

The twist is that, unlike other similar sites you have to complete 20 offers (known as cogs) before payout.

Although it’s technically possible to complete all 20 Cogs without spending any money this becomes more difficult as the later cogs open up. However, except in very rare cases completing the offer will always reward you with significantly more money than it cost to take part.

Once you’ve completed your list of cogs a 21st opens up which allows you to complete further offers.

Opinion

To be honest, I was a big sceptical and nervous about 20 Cogs but I can confirm that it pays out promptly once you complete the magic 20th cog.

I found this to be a good way of making extra money. It can take a while for each of the offers you complete to verify (roughly 30 days in many cases) but that’s my only real qualm. Also, it’s extremely important that you keep note of when your free trials end and cancel them at the appropriate time to ensure that the money you make isn’t swallowed up. Having said that I continued to subscribe to Now TV for a short while as I found shows I wanted to watch.

A few of the offers I completed didn’t track correctly but I contacted their customer services team with proof (sign up emails etc) and this was resolved very quickly.
