EarnHoney boasts on its front page to be the highest paying rewards website out there, but there has been a lot of controversial talk about its trustworthiness. Today we're going to take a look at EarnHoney's features and discuss some of the issues that some people have been having with the site.
To earn "honey", you complete the typical surveys, watch videos, and even play games. You earn points for each of these tasks known as "nectar", and these nectar points add up to honey dollars (HD). Last I heard, nine nectar was equal to one HD.
Answer Surveys
Like a lot of reward websites, there is an option to answer surveys. You may only answer the surveys you qualify for, so you have to fill out your profile first and see what's relative to you. There is no limit to how many surveys you can participate in, but you can only have ONE account and you can't provide them with any false information, obviously.
The surveys pay out a good amount of HD, I've heard it's about 5 HD once you reach the end of a survey. Be aware that they use "disqualifying" tactics such as, after you begin the survey and have already invested time in it, you may still be disqualified after providing some demographic information that doesn't suit their needs. This is something you'll have to grow to accept or take up with the support team. Their FAQ states that the most personal information that the surveys require, the more money they will give you upon completion.
Watch Videos
Similar to Swagbucks, the videos on EarnHoney provide points every time a commercial plays. You will earn HD every time your nectar meter fills up to 10 points. In order for this to work properly, you'll most likely need to turn off any Ad-Blocking extensions you may have on your computer. Keep in mind, EarnHoney staff has been very strict when it comes to using multiple tabs in the past. You're restricted to ONE video-watching tab at a time, and maybe one other game-playing tab at the same time, but do so at your own risk. You can run these videos in the background of your other tasks, but be sure to check back on it from time-to-time, because there will be captchas to verify your activity. According to their FAQ, there is no limit of videos you can watch, so feel free to keep it running!
Play Games
And by "games", I really just mean game -- single. As of the publishing of this post, EarnHoney only has the game "2048" available for play. Again, make sure your ad-blocking software is turned off for this. You can literally just let it sit there and not even play the game and still earn money, as long as you let the ads on the side of the page play. Each completed commercial is 2 nectar, and it's automatically credited every time it completes. Again, EarnHoney frowns upon having multiple tabs open, so try to stick to one -- though tempting as it may be.
Rewards / Cashout
EarnHoney lets you redeem rewards through either Amazon gift cards/certificates, or PayPal. It looks like the lowest cashout is 90 HD for a $1 Amazon gift card. The next smallest cashout amount is 500 HD for $5 Paypal, then 990 HD for $10 Amazon, and finally 2450 HD for somewhere around $25 Paypal, as far as I can tell. There is a limit of two reward cashouts per day. Here is an interesting quote from their FAQ, "You can order as many of the same Reward as you choose with the exception of the $5 Amazon.com Gift Card and $5 Amazon.ca Gift Certificate, which are limited to 5 per month."Known Issues
Some people have reported their accounts being suspended without notice and having their HD taken away wrongfully. Other than that, there was a fairly large controversy about people having multiple tabs open, so that's something to watch out for, as well as avoiding multiple accounts or any kind of auto-bot on the website. Some people report that there is now a maximum of only 100 HD/per day, otherwise you may be flagged. Additionally, the website is a bit slow most of the times that I've noticed. You will need to decide for yourself whether these restrictions make the website worth your time.
Wrap Up
EarnHoney had a lot of potential at its launch, and it seems to be delivering to a handful of happy customers. While some people are having issues, it seems that if you adhere to their rules and restrictions, you will be making some easy side cash in no time.
