A new music rewards app called Current Rewards has found a way for music lovers to take advantage of how much music they listen to and turn it into a small side hustle.<\/p>\n
The Current app claims you can actually make $600 per year just by listening to music with their platform! But is Current Rewards legit? And does this app actually pay you money for listening to music?<\/p>\n
I downloaded and tried out Current Rewards to find out. And my\u00a0Current app review is covering how this app works, its earning potential, and what you need to know.<\/p>\n
Looking for more awesome money-making ideas? Checkout<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Current Rewards is a free passive income app<\/a> available on iOS and Android that pays you to listen to music<\/a> on their app.<\/p>\n Essentially, you have to listen to their custom radio stations and you earn points for each song you fully listen to within that station<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Note that the Android version of Current Rewards is now called Mode Earn<\/a>, and the iOS version is called Current Rewards: Offline Music.<\/p>\n Anyway, Current Rewards\/Mode Earn is different from listening to Spotify or Apple Music, but don't freak out yet!<\/p>\n There are actually over 100,000 radio stations to choose from<\/strong>, so you shouldn\u2019t have any problem finding the ones that fit your music taste.<\/p>\n You can still search for your favorite songs, artists, and albums and listen to them online or offline. And\u00a0the Current app also lets you earn money by doing a variety of micro tasks<\/a>.<\/p>\n For example, you can fill out surveys and do other small tasks to earn more, but listening to music is still your best bet to rack up points consistently.<\/p>\n You can also complete your Current Music profile as you listen to music in order to expand your earning potential.<\/p>\n Users have stated that, the more they complete their profile, the higher \u201cpoints-per-play\u201d they were earning (more on this later).<\/p>\n I tested out Current Rewards to learn how the app works, and it's quite simple overall.<\/p>\n If you have an Android app, search for the Current Rewards app or Mode Earn app on the Google Play store to get started. If you have an iPhone, the app is still called Current Rewards. The sign up process is fast and requires less information than traditional money-making apps<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how to register for Current Music<\/strong>:<\/p>\n If you prefer signing up with an email or through Facebook, you can do that as well. The phone number verification is just the fastest way to register.<\/p>\n From there, you're ready to earn rewards by listening to music and completing other short tasks. Let's take a look at all the ways you can earn and how to start.<\/p>\n Once you sign up for Current Music, you tell the app the genres of music you like so it can match you with the best radio stations.<\/p>\n I was pleasantly surprised at the range Current Music offers. And when I signed up, the app gave me some pretty decent playlists for genres like country, reggaeton, rock, and alternative music.<\/p>\n You can also enable location tracking and push notifications to earn even more with Current Rewards.<\/p>\n The main way to make money with Current Rewards is to listen to music. That's because the app pays you with small amounts of points for every song you listen to on the app.<\/p>\n These points can eventually be redeemed for gift cards, free PayPal cash<\/a>, or unlocking premium app features. So, in a nutshell, once you become a member, Current Rewards pays you passive income just for listening to music<\/strong>!<\/p>\n In my experience, you only earn about 0.025 points per song you listen to. But points stack up pretty quickly, and again, music variety is decent on the app. I also like that you can save your favorite stations and songs to replay them later.<\/p>\n Just note that some people I know earn 10 to 20 points per song they listen to, but this isn't the case for everyone. Where you live impacts how many points you earn as well based on my experience.<\/p>\n Another way to earn with Current Rewards is to answer short in-app surveys from various partners.<\/p>\n When I tested out Current Rewards, surveys weren't available. But you can find them in the “share your opinion” section of the app, and some surveys pay 10,000 points or more.<\/p>\n However, you might not qualify for many surveys like me, which is a downside. And surveys don't pay very much per hour.<\/p>\n If you actually like taking online surveys, I suggest checking out Branded Surveys<\/a>, Grindabuck<\/a> or Prolific Surveys<\/a> instead since they pay more in my experience.<\/p>\n Apps that pay you to play games<\/a> are another common genre of apps, so it's no surprise that this is an earning option for Current Rewards.<\/p>\n In the “tasks & offers” section of the app, you can find plenty of paid download offers that let you earn bonus points for downloading and trying new games and apps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As you can see from my screenshot above, Current can pay me to try a variety of gaming apps, with some offers paying over 10,000 points.<\/p>\n I wouldn't use this feature if you're not a fan of mobile gaming, but hey, it's another nifty way to earn prizes!<\/p>\n But again, apps like Mistplay<\/a>, Rewarded Play<\/a>, and loads of other apps let you earn rewards this way, so it's not unique for Current Rewards.<\/p>\n If you really like mobile games, I also suggest reading our Mistplay review<\/a> and Gamehag review<\/a> for two more ways to make money playing video games<\/a>.<\/p>\n Most GPT websites<\/a> have a referral program, so it's nice to see that the Current App also pays you for referring your friends!<\/p>\n Both users get 200 free points for using a referral code, which is a nice way to boost your points as soon as you join the app.<\/p>\n You also get 5% of their earnings for life according to Current Rewards. This is a decent referral bonus<\/a>, but you have to invite fellow music-lovers if you really want to earn.<\/p>\n Another feature of the Current Music Rewards App is a cashback shopping section.<\/p>\n This is still somewhat basic, but the idea is to shop online through Current Rewards to earn points in the form of cashback<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You're honestly better off sticking with websites like Rakuten<\/a> since it has more offers and pay more in cashback.<\/p>\n However, hopefully this section of the app grows with time! And I like that you can still get paid for shopping<\/a> with Current.<\/p>\n The Current Rewards app has a small video section where you can watch short clips and ads<\/a> to earn more points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Again, not the highest earning part of the app, but it's another way to make money on autopilot<\/a>.<\/p>\n Lockscreen apps that pay<\/a> are largely finished these days, so it's awesome that Current Rewards is bringing this concept back!<\/p>\n The idea here is to earn points by transforming your phone's lock screen into a screen that also contains advertisements.<\/p>\n Annoying yes, but easy passive income…You don't have to interact with the ads to slowly earn points.<\/p>\n As you play music, you'll see ads appear on your phone's lockscreen and slowly earn bonus points for doing so. If you like this idea, you should also check out our S'more app review<\/a>!<\/p>\n S'more pays $0.10 per day for unlocking your phone, which is an easy $36.50 extra per year for no effort.<\/p>\n A new update to this Current Music review is that you can now earn points just by charging your phone!<\/p>\n The Android version of the app pays you small amounts of points when you charge your phone. This isn't going to pay a lot of points, but open the app while charging your phone to test it out for yourself.<\/p>\n Another new feature of the Current Rewards app is the raffle system.<\/p>\n The app has daily raffles you can enter and gives away millions of free points to users each week.<\/p>\n Your odds aren't great of winning of course, but it's nice that the app continues to add new earning options as it grows.<\/p>\n Alright, so you might be wondering how to redeem points in Current Music after you listen to music or use some of the other options to get points.<\/p>\n Current rewards can be redeemed in a few ways<\/strong>:<\/p>\n When I tested out the app, the gift card selection is pretty decent too, and you can redeem rewards to Target, Walmart, Starbucks<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, and free Google Play credit<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, while Current Rewards is legit, the rewards are slightly unbalanced. This mens\u00a0a certain amount of points might get you a $5 gift card while the same amount of points might get you a $3 Paypal cashout.<\/p>\n Many rewards apps follow a similar style, so look out for opportunities where your points are most worth it to redeem.<\/p>\n Here's some basic information about points<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Once you have the minimum of 8,000 points in your account, you can click on your points to look at the redeeming options.<\/p>\n You usually earn about 10-20 points for listening to a song<\/strong>, so that's about $0.01 to $0.02 per song<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This doesn't sound like much, but again, if you listen to music endlessly you'll start to get some free gift cards.<\/p>\n Users have mentioned that receiving their gift cards can take over a week. However, they do eventually receive their rewards regardless of how long it takes.<\/p>\n\n
