VolKno is a US-only site that pays you to watch and rate movie and TV trailers. I tested it, and the earning potential is low. Below is what I found, what readers report, and which sites I would pick first.
Fun to use, but low rewards and few new trailers
You rate movie and TV trailers for Amazon gift cards. US only, few new trailers, and some readers report the cashout PIN did not arrive.

The short answer
VolKno is a simple and fun way to earn a little, but it is not worth relying on. You watch trailers for movies and TV shows, rate them, and earn flow that you exchange for Amazon gift cards.
But it is only for the US, the rewards are low, and new trailers are not uploaded often. Two readers in the US also report that the PIN code they need to cash out never arrived, and that support did not reply.
- A very simple and fun way to earn
- Relatively low payout threshold: $5
- Extra flow for completing your profile
- Mobile-friendly website
- Low rewards and limited earning opportunities
- New trailers are not uploaded very often
- Amazon gift cards are the only reward
- Only for US residents
- Some readers report the cashout PIN never arrived

Is VolKno legit and safe?
VolKno is a real site, and when I tested it, it credited the flow I earned. Here is what you should know, including what some readers report about cashing out.
- The cashout PIN may not arrive
Readers in the US report that VolKno did not send the PIN code they need to get their gift card, and that support did not reply, even after several messages. Other readers write that it is not paying. If support does not reply, there is not much you can do.
- Few new trailers
New trailers are not uploaded very often, so you quickly run out of videos to rate. Surveys are not common either.
- US only
Only US residents can earn. Some readers who were not paid live outside the US.
- It uses a lot of data
Earning means streaming videos. On a phone without an unlimited data plan, use Wi-Fi.
- No help page
The help page is under development, and there is no FAQ. Email [email protected] is the only way to get help.
My takeIf your goal is to earn a decent amount of extra cash, there are better options than VolKno. The earning potential is low, you only get Amazon gift cards, and some readers report that the PIN code to cash out never arrived. If you just like watching trailers, it can be fun, but see the gift card as a bonus.
VolKno pays little, and only in Amazon gift cards. These sites in your country pay more and offer cash.

There are 2 ways to earn. Watching and rating trailers is the main one. Tap one to read more.
Watching and rating trailersMain earner
You watch trailers for movies and TV shows. While you watch, you click whether each part is hot or not. At the end, you give an overall rating with a slider, and you earn flow.
You earn extra flow for commenting on, tagging and demanding a video. If you complete your profile, you also get an emoji round: you watch the trailer again and show your emotions with emojis. The red “Flow Earned” bar shows if there is still flow to earn from a video.
Paid surveysNot common
From time to time, you can answer surveys for more flow. Each survey shows how much flow it pays. You first answer qualifying questions. If you do not qualify, you earn nothing.
Surveys are not as common as on survey sites, so do not expect many.
How much can you make?
Not much. You earn a small amount per video, and new trailers are not uploaded very often, so you quickly run out of videos to rate. Surveys are too rare to count on.
You have to watch a lot of videos just to reach the $5 threshold. The profile bonus of 1,000 flow gives you a head start. If you like trailers, see the earnings as a bonus.
Payout method and minimum
| Method | Minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon gift card | $5 (5,000 flow) | Readers report the PIN code to get the gift card never arrived |
Amazon gift cards are the only reward. If you want cash, see the top sites that pay via PayPal.
