AppTrailers Review: Earn Gift Cards for Watching Videos!

One of my favorite free apps to earn gift cards is AppTrailers. AppTrailers is just what it sounds like- and more!

AppTrailers Review: What is AppTrailers?

AppTrailers rewards you with points for watching short videos about iPhone or iPad apps. These are generally around 30 seconds long or so, and can be done while sitting on the couch watching TV or waiting for an appointment. 

Recently the app was updated to include short trailers for popular television shows (worth 5 points and able to be watched repeatedly) as well as offers. Offers are the typical ones you see online, with points for signing up for free trials, new websites, and similar randomness.

AppTrailers Review: The Good: 

There are always plenty of videos to choose from, in addition to various offers. Points may be redeemed in Paypal deposits, a number of different gift cards, or scratch cards to gamble on winning more points.

The "Free Today" tab features- you guessed it- a selected app that is free to download for today only. So far none of them have grabbed my attention, but it's still a nice little feature.

By tapping the "history" tab, you have access to all of your point activity. Very few gift card apps offer this, so I'm pretty psyched about it.

So far I've made a few dollars or so without any "real" effort.

AppTrailers Review: The Bad: 

Points are not worth much, with every ten points equal to one cent. At least that's pretty clear when you start with the app, though. So it takes quite some time to build up enough points to where you want to cash out.

AppTrailers Review: Tips: 

Open daily and use the free 10 point scratcher to win quick, easy points. 

Videos featured in yellow may be watched once for points, while those with blue icons may be repeatedly watched. Check in regularly and scan for new yellow videos so you don't miss any!

Check out the offers section even if you think you're not interested, as sometimes there are videos hiding in there!

Enter in my referral code, boilerfreak, and we'll both get extra points! Word on the street is that it's 50 points, but it seems to be a rather controversial topic.
