However, card issuance, FX, and some financial offers have age limits (often 18+ or adult), and some sites set conditions on minors registering at all in their terms. This article organizes what minors and high schoolers can and can't do. Always check each site's terms and age conditions, and act with guardian consent.

FAQ

Can high schoolers do point activity?
If you meet the site's age conditions and have guardian consent, surveys and free offers are often doable. But financial offers like card issuance and FX are off-limits. Always check the terms.
Is it OK to lie about my age?
No. Registering/applying without meeting age conditions breaches the terms and risks point cancellation/suspension. Keep to the age conditions correctly.
How do I earn big?
High-value offers (cards, FX, etc.) aren't possible until you're an adult. As a minor, chip away with free offers and surveys. After becoming an adult, go to the new-working-adult chapter.
