There is also a daily survey on this page that pays you $0.75 cents per survey and gives you a chance to win $50,000. Before each survey you need to fill out a brief pre-survey questionnaire. Pre-questionnaires are short and do not take much time to go through. When attempting the daily survey you may be told that you do not qualify for a survey. If this happens just click ahead and try again. If you don’t qualify for the first one you will usually qualify for the next survey. Once you see the “thank you for participating screen” you have completed the daily survey and can close the window. As a bonus, when you complete around 10 surveys you receive the topaz gemstone.

 

Hints and Helper Programs to Speed Up Your Earnings

Helper programs are essential to Treasure trooper because they greatly speed your earnings. Though not all of them are necessary (like alternative Phone numbers and credit gift cards), other hints and programs (like clearing internet cookies, alternative emails, and autoform programs) are absolutely essential in speeding up the money making process.
 

Alternate Email Address

Alternative email addresses are very important for three reasons:

  1. You don’t want to mix your regular mail with your Treasure Trooper mail.
  2. By competing offers you will get LOTS of spam emails.
  3. Rotating between emails address when completing offers increases the amount of offers that get verified.

Treasure Trooper Members usually have been 1-3 alternative email addresses.

Email Account Websites:
Hotmail (www.hotmail.com), Yahoo Mail (mail.yahoo.com)
Gmail, (www.gmail.com) needs an invite from a Gmail member to sign up
There are many other email sites as well.

Important!!! Clearing Internet Cookies Between Offers

It is very important to clear your Internet cookies between offers, otherwise you will be loosing money on Treasure Trooper. As soon as you finish an offer on Treasure Trooper, CLEAR YOUR INTERNET COOKIES.
Why? Because many offers are sponsored by the same company and will only give you credit for the first offer. This is the best way around that. Especially for surveys!
If you don’t know how to clear your cookies, the instructions are below.
 

For Internet Explorer
 
  • While Internet Explorer is open click on “Tools” from the Menu Bar
  • Then Click on “Internet Options…” this opens the Internet Options Menu
  • In this menu click on the “General” tab in the upper left corner
  • Then Click the “Delete Cookies…” Button
  • Click “OK” for “Delete all the Cookies in the Temporary Internet Files folder?”
  • Then click “OK” in the lower right corner to close the menu.


 

 For Mozilla Firefox
 
  • While Firefox is open click on “Tools” from the Menu Bar
  • Then Click on “Options…” this opens the Options Menu
  • From this menu click on the “Cookies” tab which is second from the right
  • Then Click the “Clear Cookies Now” button
  • Click “OK” in the lower right corner to close the menu.



 

AutoForm Programs

Most offers require you to fill out forms and the fastest way to fill them out is with an AutoForm program. This saves A LOT of time.
Google’s AutoFill Program: This one is really easy to use. AutoFill is part of the Google toolbar. If you don’t already have the Google toolbar you can download it at toolbar.google.com. Use the AutoFill button on the toolbar to fill out forms
AI RoboForm: AI RoboForm is a better then the Google AutoForm program because it fills out more information. The RoboForm program also lets you fill out custom categories. Download RoboForm @ http://www.roboform.com/download.html.

 

Forwarding Email Address

Forwarding email addresses are good alternatives to multiple email addresses. Though it is important to have at least one extra email address, some stubborn offers will not verify unless you give them a different email address. Instead of having multiple emails, another option is to use forwarding emails. Forwarding email addresses look like regular email addresses ( name@domain.com This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) but their only purpose it to forward mail to your other email accounts. Many websites offer free forwarding email addresses and they’re very fast and easy to setup. For example, yahoo.com allows you to create an additional email address just for forwarding.

Other email forwarding websites:
hotPOP (www.hotpop.com), FanMail (www.fanmail.com), Bigfoot (www.bigfoot.com)


 

Alternative Credit Cards (Credit Gift Cards)

If you want to make over $1000 dollars and you don’t want to use your credit card then this section is VERY HELPFUL. Prepaid Credit Gift are just like credits except for two reasons:

  1. You set a prepaid limit on them.
  2. They are not connected your regular credit cards.

Offers that require credit card info pay more money then offers that don’t, so gift cards are the best alternative. They cost between $2 - $5, but for +$1000 dollars in free money they are WELL WORTH IT. There are American Express, Visa, or MasterCard gift cards and you can find them at banks and major grocery stores like Albertsons or Ralphs. Links for Credit Gift Cards locations are below:
For Visa: http://usa.visa.com/personal/cards/prepaid...a%20Gift%20Card
For MasterCard: http://www.mastercard.com/us/aboutourcards...id_issuers.html

 

Alternative Phone Numbers

Many forms ask you to fill in your phone number, so this is a good alternative. There are 2 sites that offer free voice-message-only phone numbers.
Private Phone: This is the best one because you can pick an area code that matches your address. The website is: http://www.privatephone.com
K7 Unified Messaging: This site only gives 208 area code phone numbers. The website is: http://k7.net/
