Treasure Trooper has some very cool features aside from having the opportunity to make lots of extra cash. Check them out below.
The Quarter Bin
This is where older offers go that had a really good approval rate, but instead of pay $.50 or $.75, they are worth $.25. But don't be fooled. There are a lot of offers in the quarter bin, so there is still a chance to make at least an extra $5 to $10.
Jack's Jackpot
The way this section works is there is one survey each member can complete monthly. After you have successfully completed that survey, $1 gets added to the pot. The idea is for all members to complete the survey. So at the end of the month, one winner will be selected and will win whatever amount is in the jackpot. Members have won as little as $163 and as much as over $500. So it's definitely worth a shot.
Got Guild?
Want to participate with other members on a team to complete offers and get referrals and get rewarded? Then it would be in your best interest to join a guild. There are lots of different guilds to choose from. There are four prizes each month for the winning guilds. You can join a guild for a fee of $2 a month. And if you're a VIP Club Member, then you can start your own guild for a fee of $20.
VIP Club
This is probably the best extra feature on Treasure Trooper. Once a member has earned $500 lifetime earnings, then you are eligible to become a VIP member. While anyone who has earned over $500 can become a member, there are certain restrictions you must abide by in order to get the benefits. You must get a total of $50 in earnings every month. $10 of that must come from referrals, $25 must come from miscellaneous earnings and the rest can come from however else whether it's daily surveys, cash shopping, referrals, etc. The perks? For every month that you meet the requirements of the VIP club, you will receive 10 platinum coins, 20 pearls, access to the special VIP forum (where contests are held for members and special offers are posted).

Frequently Asked Questions
This section will contain questions that I think people will ask, so if you have any additional questions, you can e-mail them to me @ punchxcore__@hotmail.com and I will answer them.
What is Treasure Trooper? Is it a scam
Treasure Trooper is a GPT website that pays you to try products, give your opinion and request information on various products/programs. No, Treasure Trooper is most definitely NOT a scam, as I have been about 15-20 times and have made over $500 with the site.
How much money can I make a month?
To be quite honest, that is entirely up to YOU. If you just want to make the minimum which is $20, you most certainly can. Hell, even if you want to make $50-$100 you definitely can. Including 100% free offers and trials, I made like $200 or so my first month.
Do you recommend free offers or trials?
There's two answers. If you can't get a hold of a credit/debit card, then I would definitely recommend doing as many free offers as you can. If you have some extra money and can spring $20 for a Visa Gift Card, then I would do that. But not all trials are free. Some require shipping and handling, but you could make $20 on a product that costs like $3.95 to ship. You also have completely free offers that don't cost anything to try (but if you're using a gift/debit card, most of them will charge you $1 to make sure it's a valid card).
What is the minimum payment, and when do I get paid?
As long as you make $20 by the end of the month, then you will be paid around the 20th-25th for the previous months earnings. Example: Bob makes $25 by February 28th, so he will receive payment on/around March 20th. Jane on the other hand, only makes $10 by February 28th, but she makes another $10 in March, she will be paid on/around April 20th.
Why do I have to wait a whole month to be paid?
Treasure Trooper makes paying you possible because they receive money from the advertisers for providing these companies with leads on people that are interested in their products. So you won't get paid until Treasure Trooper receives their money, which is why their is a set date for being paid since everything is basically on a schedule.
I was supposed to get paid, but I didn't. What happened?
There are a few reasons for this. 1) You thought you met payout for the month, but didn't, 2) You chose to get paid by Pay Pal and your Pay Pal account is not verified; Treasure Trooper requires a verified account before sending payment, 3) The address on your check was incorrect, 4) Your check is on its way, it's just taking some time. 5) Your were found to be providing fake information and your account has been deleted. #5 is usually the last thing to happen. It's usually a case of the person not meeting payout by the end of the month, or not having their Pay Pal account verified.
I've been completing offers, but they aren't approving. What am I doing wrong?
You probably aren't doing anything wrong, but let's see what is going on. When you're completing each new offer are you clearing your cookies before and after each offer? Are you using a different e-mail for each offer? Are you only doing a couple offers at a time, and not doing 10 at a time? If you said yes to any of those, then you might want to consider a different action. You MUST clear your cookies or advertisers will see it as the same person keep on doing offers within their network and 95% of the time will not give you credit.
When completing offers I see ads, do I have to sign up for every one?
Most offers have ads because they want you to sign up and try their product or receive information for it. For ads like that, there should always be a button that says "Skip" or "Submit". It's usually at the bottom of the page. If you don't want to receive information on it (and I usually never do), then I just keep hitting skip and continue to go through the pages.
What does intent to participate mean? An offer says "enter e-mail address with intent to participate".
It means just that: you intend to participate. Some people say that all you have to do with these offers is enter your e-mail address and name/address/etc on the following page and they can be done with it and get approved. While others say you must go through the entire offer to get approved. It's really a trial and error sort of thing. Try either or both methods and see if either works for you.
I want to get some referrals, but I'm not good at promoting, what can I do?
Well, you could do a bunch of offers and try to get as many pearls as you can, so you get a bunch of bracelets to gain referrals that way. There are also flyers on the Treasure Trooper site that you can print off and hang in various places. They have flyers with tabs so people can just tear it off and it will have your referral link. I think a blog is the best method. There are a lot of sites out there where you can view ads in turn to get people to view your sites and it brings my blog a lot of traffic. You could also just use the plain old method of word of mouth. Tell your friends about this awesome site you've been using and once you get a check: show them. People are more likely to earn a lot of money in a program they believe in.
If you have any additional questions, just e-mail me! Thanks.
Proof of Payment
Of course you won't believe in a program unless you know it works, right? Below you will find proof of payment that I have indeed been paid! I've made over $500 with Treasure Trooper (and I'm an exclusive member of the VIP club for making over $500 lifetime earnings).

Tips For Completing Offers
This guide I have created for you to get a better approval rate is pretty much universal. It will work on mostly any GPT site.
So maybe you have completed A LOT of offers, but for some reason, they just aren't approving. Follow this crediting guide and your approval rate should increase by at least 50%.
Advertisers track by e-mail address and by cookies. If they see that you have already completed an offer with the same e-mail address and they can see your cookies (which lets them know if you've been to a site or not), your chances of being approved for it are VERY low. Therefore if the company doesn't receive credit from the advertiser, you won't receive credit for it either.
So follow these simple steps.
1. For every offer you're going to do, use a new e-mail address. I know it's sound real stupid and a waste of time, but trust me.. IT WORKS. You can create new e-mail address from Yahoo and G-mail in a matter of minutes, as well as inbox.com, mail.com, etc. Don't use disposable e-mail addresses where you don't need to register. Those don't work.
2. Download CCleaner. It's a program you can download after you do each offer and you can basically clear out any cookies, personal information so the advertiser can't see if you've completed offers more than once within their network. I don't mean complete the EXACT same offer within their network, but like My Insider Deals might have an offer called MID - Spa and MID - Plasma TV. Don't try and complete each offer twice on different sites, but because it's on the same network but different surveys, you can. You just need to get rid of the cookies and other data on your computer.
3. Use Firefox. I've found that in the past when I use Firefox, my approval rate is better for some reason. But you can try offers on IE and then on Firefox and see which offers a better approval rate. Some people say it really doesn't matter what browser you use, but I think it does.
4. If you're concerned about giving out your home telephone number, then use k7.net. It's a completely free site where you can register for a number, but it's voice mail number. So if companies ARE going to try and spam the hell out of you, then they will get your voice mail instead.
5. Don't do 50 offers in a day. Your approval rate will be very low. Do maybe 5 or so offers at a time and once most of them have been approved, then do some more. While most offers will approve in 24 hours, some might never approve and some could take 48 hours to 2 months. Chances are if they haven't approved in 2 weeks, they probably won't. Though on Treasure Trooper, you can re-do the offers that don't approve if they haven't approved after 2 weeks.
6. If you're like me, you don't like having to keep on typing in your information over and over again. That's why Roboform is such an awesome program. You can install the toolbar for it and add the relevant information for them to store such as your name, address, phone numbers, email addresses, gender, birthday, annual income, etc. Basically information you think a site will ask you, you can store that data and with one click, it will fill that information in the fields for you.
I have found that some advertisers that allow for the easiest and quickest approval are from My Favorite Rewards, My Insider Deals, QR, Smoking Rewards, and The Net Panel. In the next section of my blog you will find offers that I've been approved for lately. They don't always approve for everyone, but it sure gives you something to go on so you know what offers at least have a track record for approving.
Completing Offers
Some of you may be confused and wondering, "what do I need to do to complete an offer?" Well, this part of the guide will be a step-by-step manual and what you need to do, and how you know if you've gone far enough in an offer.
Step 1: Click on the offer you want to complete.
Step 2: You will see a screen of the offer you want to complete. It will ask you to type in your e-mail address. The screen may look a little something like this:
Step 3: After advancing to the next page you will need to fill out some information such as name, address, phone number, and probably birthday. (See Tips page for information on how to avoid giving out your real phone number, as well as how to make it easier on filling out the forms.) Avoid giving false information about yourself. It only hurts the GPT industry. The page will look something like this:
Step 4: Once you have given your information you will have to fill out several (could be anywhere from 10-20) pages that will have ads they want you to look at. You can choose to participate if you're interested in the product they offer, or you can select "No" and hit submit. If there is no submit button, you can scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Skip". There will also be a bunch of advertisments and it says "Yes/No" before it. You can select "No" on all of them; the only catch is for most advertisers, you need to select "Yes" for at least one choice. The page will look like this:
Step 5: Finally, you have come to the end. Almost seems like you'd never get there, right? But it did. Now, the description of the offer on Treasure Trooper will tell you what exactly you need to do. Some offers will say just complete the entire survey, and some will say you need to click on 2 offers (but you don't need to complete them) in order to receive credit. I always click on 2 of the offers, even if it doesn't say I need to, just to be on the safe side. Once you're done, this is what the page will look like:
You will have successfully completed an offer. Now the hard part is just waiting for it to approve. If your offers still aren't approving, check out the next section which is tips on how to get your offers to approve more easily. But I would wait up to 2 weeks for an offer to approve before you decide it's not going to. Most offers can approve within an hour to a few days, but there are some on occasion that may take up to a few weeks.
Getting to know Treasure Trooper
Before we get into how you can make money and the different tips on how to make the most money, this section is going to be your key to introducing you to the site.
OFFERS
Using Treasure Trooper, you have the opportunity to make lots of money. The backbone is Treasure Trooper is probably the 100% free offers. You can easily make $50 (or more because there are so many) by doing just the free offers. You could also make up to $1000 if you did the trials too. If you get a Visa gift card, you can use it as a credit card and complete trials that way. After each offer has approved, you will receive a gold coin, as well as the compensation for money.
SHOPPING
The shopping section allows you to receive cash back on everyday purchases. Check out the 'shopping' section of Treasure Trooper to find out which merchants are participating. There are over 100 different merchants. You can save between $1-$10 by using the Shopping section with your purchases. Also, for every $5 you spend with Shopping, you will earn a platinum coin. Those will pile up quick if you're a shopaholic. ;)
DAILY SURVEYS
Yet another way to earn money is through daily surveys. There are 3 that you can complete daily, and they are worth $.75 each-$1.00 each. You can only complete each survey once (and receive credit for it) but you can try as much as you would like if you don't qualify for one. So that's an extra $2.50 a month! If you were to complete all the daily surveys a day, that's an extra $75 a month just in surveys. Note: The surveys don't credit instantly; they take about a day. So don't fret if yours hasn't been credited yet. :)
REFERRALS
Another way to make money is through referrals. People usually have a disgusted look on their face at the thought of recruiting people. Those are usually the people that just don't have an effect method when it comes to that. Treasure Trooper provides you with different resources so you can try to get referrals. They have banners, flyers with tabs that people can tear off. The flyers are especially good if you live in an apartment complex, and you can post them in the buildings.
