Get Dh75 for each feedback on your mobile phone in UAE

Giving feedback is quite annoying and most of the times we just skip it considering it a useless exercise. But, the scenario would change if we were paid to let others know what we think of their products or services. Won’ it?

The so-called boring and time consuming feedback can now get you some money in the UAE. There is a new mobile app called First App that pays participants for their inputs.

And, this is how it works. The network of app users (spotters) accept and complete missions at the places they go to everyday, like malls, retailers and restaurants, in exchange for cash rewards.

These missions, which could range from mystery shopping to retail audits, typically only take a few minutes and can earn a spotter anywhere from Dh10 to Dh75. Spotters can payout their rewards to their PayPal account, redeem them in cash at over 200 payment points in the UAE or donate them to a local charity.

“Anyone can sign up to make some extra cash for something as simple as taking a picture of a supermarket shelf, and businesses on the other hand get a chance to see their retail environment through the eyes of their customers in real-time,” says Karim Aly, CEO and co-founder of Task Spotting, the company behind this app.

This app is free to download and is available for both iPhone and Android.

This concept is a more evolved version of mystery shoppers. Some companies in the UAE hire mystery shoppers. In the job, you are expected to analyze the service provided by luxury brands, known for their prestigious, classic and high-quality products.

To fulfill the selection criteria, you should of course like shopping with an eye for detail along with good reporting skills. You should also have a creative mind and a strong visual sense of luxury.

You need to be familiar with/interested in luxury trends and be a reliable and presentable individual.

But, with technological advancements, you only need an app to get paid, without having to go through a company or an employer.

The idea may not be bad and may take us to shopping malls not just for spending money but also to earn some quick cash, even though it may be just a small amount.
