The USA within eRepublik is uniquely poised at this time in its history to capitalize on the "incentivized offers" that allow you to participate in consumer surveys, sign up for programs, or just be subjected to advertisements in exchange for a benefit, i.e., for the fictional currency of eRepublik, GOLD.



I will tell you how I made 7 GOLD within about twelve hours (using time, actively, of about an hour), starting just as the Hello Kitty battle started raging, using six offers that paid out without use of a credit card or other agreement to be billed. Just so you know, I am an American in real life living in California, which is good because many of the sites want only US citizens.

To get started, just click the Gold and Extras button, scroll down, and press the "Free" tab. Be sure to click the buttons ("1", "2", "3"...) to see the additional pages. I have arranged these offers in the chronological order that they paid out to me.



(1) "Find your Dream Job at Beyond.com"

This was very easily the simplest, shortest, and easiest payout. Just sign up for Beyond.com, the job site. It's free, and you don't have to post a resumé. I just said I was a tutor (I'm a student).

(2) "Affordable health insurance quotes are here"

This was possibly the most involved offer to complete, and it is understandable if you don't want to go through the motions of filling out a medical history, which is the primary task required. The really important thing here is not to plunk down a credit card and go through the electronic signature option. It wasn't necessary (at least, not for me). Ask for a paper contract to be mailed to you. The payout happens when the application is complete, not when it's signed.

(3) "Learn Healthy Tips Free from QualityHealth.com" (worth 2 gold)

This is well worth doing. As far as I remember, there were only three pages of "radio buttons" to click through. What is a "radio button" page? it is a page on which you click "no" of two radio buttons (yes or no) for all of the offers, or for all but one of the offers, in order to proceed. After that, I think I just said I was interested in tips regarding some medical condition or other.

(4) "Join NPD Online Research today"

This is relatively painless. Give them an e-mail address, confirm that e-mail address, tell them to send you any survey of their choosing, fill out the survey. Once you've gotten points in your npdor.com account, you should be credited in eRepublik.

(5) "Join Memolink now and start earning Gold right away"

This involved skipping through about eight pages of ads and then signing up for "Memolink," also a survey site. Worth doing.

(6) "Start working now"

I honestly don't remember what this offer was.

Updated info from user TheNorm (February 2010):

A few of these were not listed, or their titles had changed somewhat. However I was able to sign up for these listed below for a quick 4 gold total. Both signing up and receiving the gold was fast.

- Find your Dream Job at Beyond.com (1 gold)
- Register with Wigix for free, the revolutionary way to buy and sell online (1 gold)
- Get free healthy samples by taking a survey, and receive a free Recipe eBook! (2 gold)
- Join NPD Online Research today. (I had done this one over a week ago but the above 3 I received quickly yesterday.) (1 gold)

Could not find the health insurance or memolink offer, however thanks for the info as well, and I hope this helps others.



Here are two general types of offers to avoid: (1) Avoid anything that says you will receive a gift card or other cash prize.* It will require the completion of offers in the fine print ("Silver," "Gold," "Platinum&quot😉, offers that require money or lots of patience with canceling orders in narrow time frames. (2) Avoid offers of debt, including credit card applications. That's potentially worse than any purchase in its eventual cost to you as a consumer (even if you need a credit card, look for good terms and don't apply frivolously).

And here are two types of offers to accept: (1) Survey centers. You know that they are conducting real surveys when there is more than one multiple-question survey offered by the company on behalf of third parties. That is, when it's not just asking Coke or Pepsi.* (2) Joining sites or mailing lists that require no credit card to participate. For example, the QualityHealth.com site above. In both cases, follow good practices to prevent long-term e-mail spam woes.

There are two ways to mitigate spam to your inbox. As a gmail user, I'm brave enough just to put a period (dot) at some point in my e-mail address. It will still come to me, but I can filter it out any way I want as verified junk mail. You can also, of course, use a spam trap throwaway e-mail address.

Screencapture† any confirmation screens and save any e-mails. They will help you prove that you completed the offer in the case of not receiving credit correctly.

* Your mileage may vary, to an extent, when it comes to which offers work. Some report that the "gift card" type offers are good for them; others don't. Some say that the "A or B" type surveys are quick money makers. Be sure to experiment a bit to find out what's easiest for you. If you have the time, plug away and be sure to challenge those not credited. Read around for more tips, including the comments below. I have tried to highlight some of the very easiest and surest (and free) offers to complete.

† One reader writes in comment, "I suggest www.tinypic.com to upload your screenshots to get a URL, tinypic was suggested to me by Superrewards customerservice." And, to get the pic, he says to press "printscreen" on your keyboard to get a copy of your screen, then open up "Paint" (a miscellaneous program included with Windows) and hit "Control + V" keys (to Paste), then save as a JPEG (file extension jpg). That tip comes from Hampton H. Hampton, who's up to 85 gold so far.

Barroom Hero has written a pretty sick step-by-step tutorial with more tips not found here.



Once you have your GOLD, donate to the 1st Armored Division, official tanking fund of the USA, or invest it some other way in winning this war.

These are not the only six offers that pay. Others looked promising, but I didn't have time to get to them. Expect to wade through about five offers for every one you find that is promising and actually pays out. I think I looked at about thirty overall, in various stages of completion (or bailing out).

Every other way of creating GOLD is covered in my Making Money article.

Once again, this is a great source of GOLD for USA citizens (and, in cases, other people) to tap into and is something you should do now. Even if these incentivized offers are a permanent fixture of eRepublik, the individual offers will change over time, and some that pay out easily will disappear.
