20Cogs has rebranded and is now called Cashback. The concept of Cashback is the same as 20Cogs but there are 15 tasks to complete instead of the previous 20 making the completion and pay out process much quicker.
I am always on the look out for new and different ways to make extra money and I have recently discovered 20Cogs as a way of boosting my income. 20Cogs is a simple way to make some extra money by completing offers. If you're wondering if 20cogs is legit, then this review should answer your questions.
The offers on 20Cogs can be anything from surveys to taking out free trials. There are 20 offers, or cogs to complete (hence the website name) before you can cash out, but it is well worth the wait!
What is 20Cogs?
20Cogs is a fantastic way to earn money on the side by completing super easy microtasks which can range from entering Competitions, signing up for Offers, testing online Games and completing Surveys.
There are 20 offers (or cogs) to complete before you can cash out, but it is definitely worth the wait and takes very little time to complete! The average user generally completes all their offers within a few hours spread across the week.
It is a great way to start making money in one hour.
How 20Cogs works
When you first start out you will only see the first cog – the first offer. If you don't fancy the offer for whatever reason then there are alternatives to choose from. Your cog will then turn amber which means that it is pending. Once the advertiser has checked you have completed the offer successfully then it will turn green. This normally happens quite quickly but it can take up to 30 days to be confirmed.
Simply complete all 20 Cogs and when they have turned green you will see the claim button. You can request your payout via BACS and PayPal and it should arrive within a few days.
There are also some fantastic ways to boost your 20cogs earnings.
Refer friends and family to 20Cogs
A great way to boost your earnings on websites like 20Cogs is to refer your friends and family members to the website. After all, who doesn't like earning money?
20Cogs have an extremely generous referral program, and it is a great way to earn more from 20Cogs.
You will earn 5% of whatever your referrals make, forever.
You will also get a £20 bonus when they complete 20 Cogs.
Simply refer 5 friends and once they complete their own 20 Cogs you will make an extra £100, plus 5% of their earnings along the way.
As you can see from my earnings, I earned a nice chunk from referrals.
Did you know that you can also make money by referring your friends and family to your bank?

My 20Cogs review
Some of the offers are a complete pain in the backside to complete – they look spammy so I would recommend you use your dedicated money making email address to sign up for the offers and make sure to read them thoroughly so that you aren't registering for websites you don't want to register for. I
t took me a few months to reach payout because I was waiting for the offers to change – a few of the offers I couldn't complete because I had already done them elsewhere. I finally turned all my 20 Cogs green and my payment was in my bank the morning after I requested it! I would also recommend that you take a screen shot of the completed offers in case it doesn't track properly. I have had to submit a few queries and the 20Cogs team have ensured that I received the credits I should have. However, they were always honoured and I received payment, so I can say with certainty that 20Cogs is legit.
Websites that rely on you completing a certain number of offers (such as 20Cogs) have a reputation for holding back and not confirming one of the offers, which is why I would recommend that you not only keep a screen shot of the completed offer, but make sure to see if you need to confirm your email address for any of the offers. The referral scheme is very generous and this could be a nice boost to your funds if you can complete all of the offers.
There you have my 20Cogs review – in summary, it took me a few months to complete the offers, however once I had turned all of the cogs green, payment was made around 12 hours later.
You can also see how my husband got on when he completed his 20cogs.
He made £154.95.
Considering he had already completed a lot of the offers elsewhere or through matched betting he is chuffed with his earnings.

Good luck, let me know how you get on.
I have never heard of 20 Cogs before. Looks like it is worth checking out.
Let me know how you’re get on with it.
Hi 🙂
Have you or anyone else actually completed the 20 cogs?
I’ve spent half an hour on here and I’m upto £45.
Is it a real payout? ?
I’m not there yet, I keep forgetting to log on! How are you doing with the offers?
I completed 20 Cogs about 6 weeks ago, I had a couple of offers that I had to send screen shots in for but I was paid the day after I requested my payment. I’m currently number 3 on their homepage leader board! ..Totally genuine pay out, Paulsmoneysavingoal.
How did you request your payment ? I’ve asked when my money will go in and they said they will deal with it as soon as they can but it’s been 3 days now
What’s their email address please my 20 cogs are still grey.
What’s their email address please?
Can you let us know if it is legit? I am now doing offers but I worry that it might nog be 100% real since you can earn a lot of money and normally with this kind of thing you can only earn a couple of pounds per survey.
Hi Cynthia, I think the “catch” here is hoping that people get bored and don’t complete all of the offers. Stay strong and try to get through them!
its legit
Is this genuine? I am in the process of looking for work whilst studying and am unsure if this is a scam.
Everything I write about is tried and tested by me, and I give you my honest verdict. I am still part way through completing the offers with 20 Cogs
I have started using 20 cogs and completed 6 cog offers but they are still grey in colour and haven’t turned amber as pending apart from 1! Does anyone know what this means please?
Hi Emma, how are you doing with 20 cogs to date? I’ve been thinking of joining but don’t want to spend any money or years of my time to get a payout x
I’m still working my way through the offers, I haven’t done any paid ones yet until all my free ones confirm. I’ll update this post once I’ve reached payout 🙂
I just joined the 20 cogs and completed all of the cogs in one day, many of the articles i have done is free trials. Trials which I have paid a pound for, competitions. A few are green and some are amber while some are still grey but I understand it can take up to a month to come through. Now I seem to be sat hoping that this is real money. May I ask how your attempts have been on 20 cogs??
Wow, that’s dedication! I had a few issues with some not changing from grey so I sent an email and they’ve now all been investigated and turned green. I’ve just got a few more to get finished now 😀
Do you think its worth it even though we have to ‘pay’ the poker sites with our own money? Thanks x
As long as you take screenshots and follow the instructions then the offers where you earn more than you pay are worth it.
Of the sites were you need to a deposit I chose Bingo, as I have played bingo on and off for the last year or so, every now again I have a small win that can easily cover all of your deposits.
And now emma? How is it going for you?
trying this.start date 28/08/2016…hope it is not a scam 🙁
Hi Kathryn go for it, I have recommended two of my friends both were paid in full as was I with in
7 days of my final cog
I am also just about to start, but am also nervous if it is a scam!!
Hi guys, I think I’ve messed up I signed up for free credit score you have to not cancel for 14 days but after 14 days it charges you ??
Once you have completed the 20 cogs and got payment can you go on to complete another 20 cogs or do you only get one go at this?
Just the once so far, but hopefully they will add more.
Thanks for the article Emma, I tried 20 cogs and am about halfway through although as I had already spent a few weeks on Oh My Dosh I found I had signed up to a lot of the companies that had the best offers. Still, think I will hit the 20 cogs though and get my payout. It is a good site although I do slightly prefer Oh My Dosh.
Could someone kindly let me know what happens once you have completed all 20 cogs. Do you get to start the process all over again, or is this a 20 cog one time only per person?
Many thanks,
Darren.
Hi Darren, you can’t complete the offers again, but you can continue to earn from referring your friends and family.
