About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
I originally found out about this on here a long time ago, but I haven't seen it posted in the past year or so and can't find any reference to it anywhere on hukd, so posting again for the benefit of those who have missed it in the past.
Go to getjam.mobi from your iphone, android or other smartphone, or a tablet or ipod touch - anything that can view videos really - click on the videos which are typically between about 20 seconds and 3 minutes, and then click 'done' to collect points('berries') afterwards.
Then convert your points into cash via Paypal or itunes vouchers or mobile topups. 300 berries gets you £2.50, and typically each video is worth 10 berries, so each video clip you watch is worth about 8.3p. You're not going to become a millionnaire overnight doing this, but I've been doing it regularly and had over £200 in Paypal cash from them in the past 18 months. Cash arrives in about a week into your Paypal (remember to choose the slow service or you're wasting your berries!)
You're only allowed one account per person (email address) and they allow two members per household (IP address), and you get an extra 50 berries for referring a friend (40-odd pence).
I remember there being a bit of doubt and the usual skepticism when this was posted last year, but I can say that the whole thing is legit - I've had every penny that I've 'earnt' with them and on the couple of occasions that I've had to contact their customer services they've been quick to reply.
There's also an iphone app, however I find it a bit slower to use so instead just use getjam.mobi on Safari. Additionally, when you're redeeming your points, you can only choose iTunes vouchers on the iPhone app (tho you can build them up and redeem on the .mobi site for cash).
REMEMBER to set up an account (only an email is required, no personal details) when you first use the service, and always make sure you're logged in, otherwise you may be accruing points that won't be accredited to your account.
Link takes you to their desktop site which has an explanation. Use the getjam.mobi site to actually do it on your phone. I'm happy to try to answer any questions anybody has about how it all works, but it's really simple once you've tried it.
Please don't vote Cold with some nonsense like 'its a scam' as it definitely isn't and although it's not going to make you a millionnaire, you can earn a decent amount of pocket money from it.
Congrats on your VIP badge!

Edit... some people have recently been experiencing problems in redeeming their berries. I've had mine with no problem, so won't expire as it still seems to be working fine for me. Also some people have had accounts cancelled for abuse (having too many accounts!) which we can't really blame them for. Just be aware of these factors - worth cashing in for smaller amounts rather than saving up, just in case.
*** LATEST NEWS 18 DEC 2012 ***
Recently received emails from Getjam apologising for recent poor service, which they say was due to them having a complete overhaul of their systems to combat fraud - apparently too many people have had too many multiple accounts, and now they're far better equipped to deal with it. So, looks like it's all go again, with other offers now online too to collect berries...the proof will be in the pudding!

sorted byYes - it's on the 'Get Jam' page, usually near the top - it looks like a video except it's got 50 points in the corner instead of 10. When you click it, it's just a page with text to read and a button at the bottom to press to credit the points.
They seem to have good communication, can't fault them for that. I requested a standard delivery Friday, I'd pretty much written off 'counting 5 days' until after the Jubilee, just got this email from them.
Sounds like a lot of messing about to me, but if that's your thing, suppose it's worth it.
Unfortunately no videos are loading for me, neither on my phone or laptop with user agent changed
Link
Chrome doesnt support flash must have been that. You need flash for some of the videos. I get about a tenner a month from this and that pays for my Spotify Premium
(edited)
That's the one I originally found it on. Strange that I couldn't find it by searching the forum for 'getjam'. Lots of problems back then but since they changed the whole website I've not had any bother apart from the very occasional glitch.
Just be careful if not at home that you're on wifi or have a proper unlimited package as it'll eat up your data allowance very quickly otherwise - my rather clueless friend did loads on 3G while on holiday abroad...not pretty.
it wont be more then minimum wage so dont give up ur day job just yet
I would say to have a seperate Paypal account for each person/email. You don't actually need a different account thought - if you log into your existing Paypal account, click 'Profile', then under Email click 'Update', and at the bottom right 'Add', then you can just add your other email address to the existing Paypal account so that money that's sent to either email will go into the same account. Paypal will send a link to your new email and you have to log in with your password to verify that the new email is yours. You can have up to 8 email addresses on one Paypal account.
Sometimes it's a few days, and you often just get one or two a day added. I just check it a few times a day as I keep the page open in the background in safari. Have had 2 new ones added today.
You always get people like that - fast to throw stupid accusations in with no supporting facts. They probably haven't even tried to claim the money. I've had plenty from them.
this will happen if the site find out. greed gets you nowhere and spoils it for others and ultimately themselves. this is a good site where my family get mobile top ups every month, why risk losing something that is far better than survey sites.
Totally agree - I watch some of the videos, and quite like some of them, but some are just boring, annoying or just too long. In the same way as the ads on TV, if it's interesting, funny or relevant to me, it'll get my attention, but of its cack then I ignore it. I quite like movie trailers when they come up - I'd never even heard of The Hunger Games till Getjam, and went to see it at the cinema based on the Getjam trailer. So the advertising does work, but only when it's good advertising,
your other email address can be added to the same paypal too.
When you're on Chrome, on the top right there should be a new icon that looks like a piece of paper with a pair of Robin-like mask glasses, click on that and select either iPhone>iPhone 4, iPad>iPad or Android>Motorola Xoom and it should change your browser to viewing one of the chosen User Agents. Choose Chrome when you want to change it back to how everything was.
Just to let you know, not all the videos will work (flash ones)
Hope that helps!
I think it was pretty much straight away for me, after they had watched 3 vids I got berries.
(edited)
The last video I have had was on Saturday (Magic Mike). I hope they are not going bust....
I've banked all together 805 berries, cashed in 600 last week.
Think I had 2 or 3 new vids about 3 days ago but nothing since then.
900, but I've had (I think) 4 referrals to family members.
Most I can see anyone honestly earning is a fiver a month.
"Hi all, we're still very much alive and kicking! Unfortunately we've had a rather serious attack on our system - a robot created to eat all the berries. We've had to hold back on releasing new content while we get a heap of upgrades done but we will be back to normal and adding new videos very soon. We'll post here, email and SMS soon as we do. In the meantime, thanks for your patience "
facebook.com/get…185
That's good news! Got over a thousand berries waiting to be redeemed...
Not very techie here - any suggestions on the add-on or how that would work? Do you mean something so that I could use a normal computer but the website would think I was using a mobile? Thanks!
It probably does sound like a lot of messing, but to be honest it's really simple. Once you've spent about 2 minutes getting an account and working out how it works, you have to do virtually nothing - I just sit my phone beside me while I'm watching TV or on the internet and click on the links. Some of the videos are actually quite good too!
Videos not loading either, but I pressed bank points after 2-3mins and it banked them
They all work fine on my iphone/ipod, but I've got an android tablet and it does that sometimes on that - some work, others don't. Might be worth trying the mobile app if there is one for your type of phone? If I get time later I'll pop a list of the running times for the videos as some are longer than 3 mins but others are only 30 secs.
Video seems to be loading now
I was running it off Chrome, yeah they work fine on the phone browser
