A member of the Pokemon Go community has shared some advice on how to get free money to spend in the in-game store, keeping the game as close to free-to-play as possible.

Pokemon Go has always been an interesting mobile game, with a lot of content and community engagement. However, being a game with micro-transactions can make it somewhat restrictive and some players have complained about this in the past.

From Incubators to Inventory Size, the game store is constantly offering you ways to spend PokeCoin, especially during events.

Now, one Pokemon Go player has shared a unique approach on that subject, offering a way to keep buying event tickets without draining your wallet.

Reddit user CombProfessional434 shared their ideal solution to the micro-transaction issue in Pokemon Go. According to the player, Google Opinion Rewards seem to be a reliable source of income to spend on Poke Coins and store items.

As they stated: “Google Rewards has been so awesome coming from someone who tries to be f2p, it’s helped me so much paying for storage, raid passes, boxes, etc.”

The post shows how they amassed $689.33 just from Google Opinion Rewards. The app allows you to earn between 10 cents to $1 for the completion of surveys and polls. The money can then be used with your Google account, or transferred to a digital wallet.

According to what CombPofessional434 revealed, just by doing a few surveys each month, you could be earning enough to keep playing Pokemon Go for free and save enough for some of the best items in the store.
