WeReward – Get Rewards for Checking In

WeReward is an application that lets users earn virtual points for checking in and completing tasks in real world locations. Different check in spots and company-sponsored activities are assigned different point values, and users can eventually “cash out” their WeReward points for actual money that’s delivered via their linked up PayPal account.

To start earning points with WeReward, download the application’s mobile app to your iPhone and connect it with your Twitter, Foursquare, or Facebook account. Whether you’re going to dinner, drinks, or a Broadway show, you can check in on WeReward when you arrive and start earning points that will accumulate in your WeReward account. Browse on your WeReward home screen to see how many points each business in your local area is offering when you come and check in, or search by name and keyword to get information about one location in particular. The amount of points you’ll earn for each check in depends on whether the location has been verified and whether the business owners have set up any “tasks” that have to be completed in order to earn your points, such as taking a photo of yourself eating in the restaurant and uploading it into the app.

Each WeReward point is worth one penny in real world cash, and you can cash out your points as soon as you reach 1,000. The money will be sent directly to your PayPal account where you can transfer it to your bank or use it to make other purchases online. For anyone who enjoys using Foursquare but wishes they could earn something tangible for checking in all over town, WeReward is the application you’ve been looking for.

Practical Uses:

  • Let your friends know where you’re eating tonight
  • Share your opinion about a new clothing store
  • Find out about new restaurants that have opened up nearby
  • Earn money for doing the things you already do

Insider Tips:

  • WeReward offers bonus points when your friends sign up use your referral link
  • Browse businesses and only visit those that offer high point values for checking in
  • Connect with your Twitter, Foursquare, or Facebook account
  • Cash out as soon as you get to 1,000 points, or continue accumulating for a while longer and see how many points you can get

What we liked:

  • WeReward offers cash rewards for an activity that many people already do for free
  • The application is easy to use, and point values are clearly displayed
  • Sending photos to claim task rewards can be done directly through the site, without the need for emails or photo attachments
  • No need to create a new account, since you can link up with preexisting social media accounts

What we didn’t like:

  • Business owners must approve your task photos before you can receive points for checking in and completing the activity
