Here little Viggle, Viggle!...Getting Paid for Watching TV

Author: Derron



     If you haven’t caught onto the new craze in the App world, I believe that it’s Viggle.  Viggle is an interesting App for coupon hunters, gift card users and everyday shoppers.  And if you like watching TV and shopping, this may be the best thing to come around for you in years.
    
Viggle is a downloadable App for users of Android and Apple phones and tablets.  Once you download the App (which is free) you can then start watching TV and build up points to redeem gift cards/certificates to some of your favorite places to shop.  Here is how it works.  After the download and some basic information you provide such as your email, you can start picking TV shows to watch and earning points for just turning on your TV.  Your Android or Apple device then listens to your TV and picks up on what you are watching.   For instance, if you are watching your favorite 2 hour program, you earn 120 points.  For a half hour show, you would earn 30 points.  Some programs are special such as season premiers, special episodes and live TV can earn you extra Viggle points towards your total.  Once you have earned enough points, you can start redeeming them for coupon and gift cards.  And, oh yea, for the football fan in your life, if you tune into a nationally televised game, you can play along by picking players or team and earn extra points as you are earning points for only watching the program.  There are also little games and trivia for certain shows that can earn you extra points as well.  There are a few other little tricks out there for earning points, but I’ll let you figure them out on your own.

     There is an online process for receiving the gift card but this is where your email comes in.  Once you confirm, basically selling your points for the gift card, you will receive and email with the gift card you can then print out and use it whenever you want.  Gift cards that I have seen have ranged from Old Navy, Lowe’s, Best Buy, CVS Pharmacy and Groupon.  Now these are just a few of the places that you can redeem points for gift cards  and I will tell you, they rotate their gift cards quite frequently so a gift card that may be there today might not be there tomorrow.  So I recommend saving up your points and wait until you have enough to use your points on a card of your choosing. 

     So that’s it in a nut shell, earning points or getting paid for watching TV (however you want to look at it) and cashing in with coupons and gift certificates.  Sounds good to me!!
