Best For

If you're an Amazon customer in the U.S. or U.K. and wouldn't mind submitting your receipts and opinions with Amazon, the Shopper Panel can offer a source of extra income.

Best For

Pogo is for those looking to find some quick savings or earn a bit of extra cash here and there doing things they already do. It's not going to earn you a fortune or anything, but it can provide some supplementary income. Keep in mind, if you're going to use it, you should be comfortable sharing some data about your shopping and transactions.

• The "ad sharing/verification" opportunity pays quite little considering it involves sharing a lot of data with Amazon.
