This review covers how HeyCash works, who runs it, how members get paid and what is and is not published about it, based only on its own published pages and terms. At the end, PocketsFull is shown as another rewards site people compare it with.

What HeyCash is

HeyCash is a reward site and app (GPT site, short for get-paid-to) where members build up a cash balance by taking paid surveys, playing mobile games and completing in-game challenges, and finishing offers such as trying out other apps, including offer walls. The Google Play listing for the app also mentions an invite-and-earn feature for referring friends.

The site's terms describe these tasks as assignments arranged with outside advertising partners, which can include online surveys, product tests, app tests and website tests. The balance a member builds up can then be withdrawn or exchanged for gift cards.

Facts checked on

How does HeyCash work?

Members create an account with an email address, and the site may also ask for profile details such as gender, age and education so it can match surveys to the right people. From there, earning happens through the methods above: surveys, games, offers and referrals.

HeyCash publishes a list of country and language editions covering North America, Europe, Oceania, Asia, the Middle East, South America and Africa, so availability depends heavily on where a member lives.

Joining HeyCash is free. The terms forbid using a VPN, proxy or similar connection, and the site is meant to be used only in the member's own country of residence.

How does HeyCash pay, and who can join?

HeyCash's payout methods are listed as PayPal, bank transfer and gift cards, with the site saying hundreds of gift cards are available and naming Amazon, Walmart, Apple, Spotify and Netflix as examples. Its homepage also shows Venmo, Revolut and a Visa card among its reward options, though which of these options actually appear for a given country is not stated on its public pages.

On minimum payout, HeyCash's own FAQ says there is no minimum amount required to withdraw, while its terms of use say the provider may require a minimum balance for payouts, as communicated to the member at registration, so these two statements do not fully agree. The terms also mention that identity verification may be required before a payout is made.

On age, the United Kingdom version of the terms of use sets a minimum of 18. The version labeled for the USA market does not state a numeric minimum age, and HeyCash does not publish an age requirement for other markets.

How PocketsFull differs

PocketsFull is also a rewards site: members take paid surveys, complete offers (many of them game and app offers), and collect rewards they can redeem. Joining and using it is free, and it never asks for a deposit or a payment of any kind.

On PocketsFull, surveys are market-research questionnaires from survey providers, and offers are tasks from partners such as trying an app or a game and reaching the steps the offer lists, or signing up for a service. Each offer shows its own steps and reward on the Offers page, and playing games for rewards works through game offers there rather than through a separate games section.

PocketsFull also has a separate section of free browser games, with no download and no sign-up, but those are for fun and do not pay rewards. The minimum age on PocketsFull is 13, and anyone under 18 needs the consent of a parent or legal guardian. PocketsFull has an Android app on Google Play, and the website also works in a phone browser.

How PocketsFull pays

On PocketsFull, redeeming a reward opens a list of options for the member's own country, usually local gift cards first, followed by PayPal and Litecoin. In the Philippines, GCash appears in the gift card catalogue the same way, as a local redemption option rather than a direct wallet transfer.

The exact list of gift cards depends on the country, so two members in different places can see different options on the same redeem screen. A redeemed gift card is sent to the member's registered email address.
