A friend of mine recently told me BrightSpot.tv<\/a> could save me $5 a month on my GameFly.com<\/a> membership. Since I’m a tightwad I figured I’d check it out. BrightSpot.tv essentially pays you for watching advertisers’ videos. You don’t get actual cash, but instead the money you make gets credited to an account of your choice. Currently, it can either be for a GameFly.com account or an NBA.com Audio League Pass. I figured the videos would be lame commercials, but most of them were for movies or games. Each one you watch is worth $0.50. Most of them are 30 seconds long, but a few are movie trailers that are over a minute. After watching the video you answer a couple questions about the video. You can watch up to 6 videos a day.<\/p>\n

Right now there are no additional movies for me to watch, but I’ve earned $21.50 so far. In addition to watching the videos yourself they also have an option to add additional family members to your “household”. Then, when that family member watches videos the credit goes towards your account. This would be great if I had kids who used GameFly. I could have them watch a videos to help offset the cost of their game rentals.<\/p>\n

Going into it I thought it was going to be a scam, but they have a very nice, clean website. They seem pretty legitimate since they have partnered with NBA.com and GameFly.com. Today, I received an email confirming that $5 had been credited to my GameFly account so it seems like my concerns were ill founded. Hopefully they grow and add some additional partners, but if not I’m happy with saving on my GameFly membership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
