Phone side hustle

Here's my situation. I'm in the middle of dealing with paperwork and can't get an official part-time job right now. I have classes in the evening and some free time during the day, but it's never the same hours. Usually I just end up scrolling through feeds and wasting time. I was wondering if anyone here has actually made money from those sites where you do quick surveys or play mobile games? Nothing big, just enough for coffee or a Spotify subscription. Or is it all just data collection scams? Would love to hear real experiences before I bother signing up. Thanks.

I feel you, paperwork and school make it impossible to commit to a real schedule. I was in the exact same boat last year. Tried RewardsXXL just to see if it was fake. Honestly, it's not a scam, but it's not a goldmine either. I do surveys when I'm on the bus or waiting for class to start, maybe 10-15 minutes a day. Cashed out for a Spotify gift card after about two and a half weeks. Also got a few bucks to PayPal once. You won't pay rent with it, but for coffee or a subscription, yeah, it works. Just skip the surveys that take longer than five minutes, not worth it. Sign up gives you like a dollar for free anyway, so nothing to lose. Way better than just scrolling feeds for hours. Give it a shot.
