Looking for a flexible side hustle you can do from the couch? With Angus Reid Forum USA, you can take surveys and earn points that are redeemable for e-gift cards. When you share your perspective on everyday topics, you’ll help inform decisions across the United States and earn gift cards from popular retailers.
What Is the Angus Reid Forum USA?
Angus Reid Forum USA is an online community where adults in the United States answer short, easy, and interesting surveys on topics like food, media, transportation, social trends, and more. Your participation helps organizations understand what people in America think, while you earn rewards for your time.
Why Surveys Make a Great Side Hustle
1. Low Barrier to Entry
You don’t need special skills, training, or equipment to start. If you have a smartphone or laptop and internet access, you can sign up and start taking surveys within minutes.
2. Flexible and On-Demand
Surveys can be done anytime, anywhere — while commuting, watching TV, or during a lunch break. You control how much or how little time you put in, making it one of the most flexible side hustles.
3. Small but Consistent Earnings
While surveys won’t make you rich, they can reliably cover little extras: coffee money, streaming subscriptions, or small bills. The predictability of payout makes them appealing for steady, low-stress income.
4. No Long-Term Commitment
Unlike gig work that requires shifts or upfront investment (like ridesharing or delivery), surveys don’t tie you down. You can stop anytime without penalties or financial loss.
5. Extra Perks Beyond Cash
Many survey sites offer gift cards, discounts, or rewards in addition to cash payouts. For some people, stacking rewards like Amazon credits or restaurant vouchers feels just as valuable as cash in hand.
How Earning Gift Cards Works
1. Sign up and activate your account
Create a profile so you can be matched with surveys that fit your interests and demographics.
2. Receive survey invitations
You’ll get invites by email or in your dashboard. Each invitation shows:
- The number of points you can earn
- The estimated time to complete the survey
3. Complete surveys and earn points
Most surveys award points directly to your Angus Reid Forum points account. The number of points varies by survey and will always be shown in the invitation.
4. Track your balance
Log in at angusreidforum.com/member-login/and check My Points on your member dashboard to see your current total.
5. Redeem for e-gift cards
Once you reach 2,500 points ($25), you can redeem for e-gift cards. Redemptions below $25 are not available.
6. Select your e-gift card
Go to the My Rewards tab and select an e-gift card from Starbucks, Target, Apple, Amazon, Airbnb,and many other popular retailers from across the US.
7. Receive your e-gift card
After redeeming, you’ll be sent your e-gift card via email—please allow up to 2 weeks to receive it.
Tip: If you don’t see your Gift Card Pass, check your junk/spam folder for an email from support@angusreidforum.com.
