While Foursquare is great fun for those looking to socially engage one another and find the occasional ‘Mayor’ special, WeReward is a rocketship of actual cash-based incentives waiting for savvy smartphone users to catch on. Launching at TechCrunch’s Disrupt, this application pays users directly through their PayPal account for doing things like ‘checking-in’ and ‘completing tasks.’ Users earn points, that equate to a cash value – .01 for each point. Some tasks pay out 200 points or more ($2.00 can add up!), and you can cash out at $10 intervals if you want.


While Foursquare, with it’s badges and points, and Gowalla are ‘game like’ in nature – there is nothing like actual cash for your effort. Not only that, but if you refer friends, you can earn 10% of their check in points. Not bad.

You need:

1. An iPhone
2. A Twitter, Facebook or Foursquare account
3. A Paypal account

Here’s how it works:
