In Feb 2025, BetaTesting moved to exclusively use Tremendous to power tester incentives / rewards for testers recruited from the BetaTesting panel.
Tremendous allows for many different redemption options, with over 2,000 options in total over 200+ countries. See the full catalog in your country: https://www.tremendous.com/catalog/
What reward redemption options are available?
Gift cards / Prepaid Visa: Most redemption options have no fees associated, including gift card, prepaid Visas and charity options.
Monetary distributions: In most countries, Tremendous also supports monetary distribution options, including the below. If you choose these options, Tremendous does have a fee (currently 6%, minimum $1 as of Feb 2025) in order to process the transaction. See the details here on Tremendous.
ACH
PayPal
Venmo
If I choose to redeem with ACH, PayPal, or Venmo, do I need to pay the fee?
Yes, you are responsible for paying the fee (currently 6%, minimum $1) if you choose one of these options. We recommend waiting to redeem your rewards until after you have at least $20 in BetaTesting, so you are not paying greater than 6%.
Why doesn't BetaTesting pay the fees for monetary rewards?
Because there are no-fee reward options, it's your choice if you prefer the monetary reward with the Tremendous fee. We prefer to make our rewards fair for testers, and and include the extra 4-6% in the reward itself, and allow you to decide how to redeem it.
Before we transitioned to Tremendous, we increased base tester rewards on BetaTesting by > 20% on average. Tests that were previously a $5 reward (like a 5 minute usability video) are now $10. Others that were $10 are now $15, etc. Providing fair and motivating rewards to testers is critical to BetaTesting.
Why did BetaTesting change away from only supporting PayPal directly?
PayPal is only supported fully in certain countries
Tremendous offers many other redemption options that some people prefer
PayPal has some quirks that makes it difficult to manage as a business.
