There are dozens of websites to pick from, and in most cases they only take a few minutes to complete.
But some people are only just realising about the money-boosting trick.
Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, one super saver explained how they have made over £181 from filling out Google surveys.
They said: “Google has their own app, called ‘Google rewards’.
“You get sent 3-5 question surveys based on where you’ve been.
“10th June – I got asked have you been to Aldi, did you buy anything and how did you pay. Got 27p for about 20secs.
“You can then use the reward across the Play Store, inc. films, books, games and in game purchases.
“I mainly use mine to pay for my Google One cloud storage account.”

One said: “I’d never heard of it before! Do you need to sign up for it or anything?”
Meanwhile, another said: “I’ve had Google Rewards for years.. it’s pretty decent for Google Play credit.”
A third added: “I’ve been using for years, hardly got anything then last 14 months or so was getting £3-4 a month.”
How surveys work and how to find them
Marketing companies often rely on people filling in surveys to get insights into consumer’s habits.
They usually consist of a list of questions focused on a particular topic.
In return for filling them out, you can be offered anything from money, to vouchers and credits.
All you have to do is sign up on the company’s website and wait for any survey alerts to come into your inbox.
When they do, you just answer all the questions and the survey site will add the cash, or any other reward, to your account.
There’s dozens of survey sites to pick from, and they all offer something different.
For example, i-Say lets you earn points worth between five and 250 which can then be redeemed for Amazon vouchers.
Meanwhile, Curious Cat is a handy free surveys app which you can download on Google Play or the App Store, if you’ve got an iPhone.
Again, you earn points for any completed surveys and can withdraw cash from 100 points onwards.
