Best Phones to Buy for Perk TV and Swagbucks

People are earning $30-$45 per phone per month running Perk TV on their Wi-Fi connected cell phone. Since everyone in your house can run 5 phones each, this adds up. 2 people, 5 phones each, $300-$450 per month of extra money. 3 people, 5 phones each, $450-$675 of extra money every month! (Make sure to cap out your Swagbucks earnings before settling for Perk TV. With Swagbucks you can earn $50-$75 per month with one phone. Here is our quick tutorial.)

The problem becomes how do you find 5, 10 or even 15 phones? Which phones run Perk the best? Here is a list of great deals for phones for Perk, Perk TV and Swagbucks:

Virgin Mobile Awe – This phone runs Perk TV easily. Virgin Mobile has the Awe on sale for $40 today. If you buy any phone through Top Cashback you receive $35. (Top Cashback is giving a $10 sign up bonus too!) That means you could purchase this dual core processor smartphone for ONLY $5. This is a steal. I haven’t seen a better deal for a great smartphone.

LG Optimus Fuel – The Optimus Fuel is not as powerful as the Awe but it does a good job with Perk TV. Wal-Mart had the Fuel on sale for under $30. Through September 7th, Dollar General is selling the Fuel for $19. If you see any buy them up. That is a pretty good deal!

Kyocera Hydro – The Kyocera Hydro is a cheap phone that you can buy for next to nothing. There have been a lot of complaints of the phone “bricking” or dying. Since the phone is of poor quality you can typically find a good deal almost anywhere on a Hydro. The best deal is for a used Hydro from Boost Mobile. Boost Mobile sells them for $15 to $20 and Top Cashback will give you a $35 rebate. They are paying you $15 to $20 to take the phone. You can’t turn that deal down. However, don’t be surprised when the phone dies on you.

 

We have personally used all three of these phones with Perk TV. We much prefer the Virgin Mobile Awe over both the LG LG Optimus Fuel and Kyocera Hydro. The apps run so much quicker on the Awe. Let us know if you know of any deals!

Cash Back Sites – Ebates vs. Top Cashback

If you shop online, I hope you use a cash back site like ebates.com or topcashback.com. These sites receive commissions for referring you to sites you probably already shop at. They then pass on most or all of the commissions they receive to you! The commission rates vary from company to company and each cash back site as well. Ebates and Top Cashback both have thousands of companies that they team up with. So, you have plenty of opportunity to earn cash back.

Here’s how it works, if you are going to buy something from Walmart.com, simply login to your Top Cashback account first. Through their site, search Walmart and click on the cash back link. The link will take you to the Walmart site where you shop just like you normally would. The only difference is after your purchaseTop Cashback will email you that a commission was generated from your purchase. Currently, the rate for Walmart.com is 4% of most purchases, some retailers commission rates are flat dollar amounts. As soon as Top Cashback receives the commission from Walmart, you can request for the money to be sent to you.

Now, which cash back site should you use?

You can trust both sites. Ebates has been around for 15 years and has a great reputation for paying out commissions. Top Cashback is a much younger company, but has done a great job in the two years we’ve been using them. Although Top Cashback hasn’t been around near as long as Ebates, we would recommend Top Cashback over Ebates. We’ve noticed Top Cashback pays a higher commission at most of the stores we shop from. Also, Top Cashback allows you to withdraw your commission as soon as they receive it. But, both are free, so sign up and you decide which one you like best.

Best deal on Top Cashback, right now:

How about a used Kyocera Hydro for $15 from Boost Mobile. Earn $35 from Top Cashback. That means they will pay you $20 to take the phone! Use that Kyocera to make you more money with Perk TV and Swagbucks TV. Read how here.
