What Is sMiles: Bitcoin Rewards?

sMiles is a rewards app that pays you in Bitcoin (or gift cards and stablecoins) for completing everyday tasks — recording short point-of-view videos, walking, shopping, playing games, taking surveys, and more. It runs on iPhone, Android, and as a browser extension, and you withdraw earnings to any Bitcoin Lightning Network wallet. It's a reasonable fit if you're in one of its supported countries and want a low-effort way to accumulate small amounts of Bitcoin; it's not a fit if you expect high, guaranteed hourly pay or live outside the supported regions.

What sMiles actually is

sMiles is a Bitcoin rewards app from StandApp, Inc. (made in the USA). The core idea is simple: you do tasks, you earn rewards, and you cash out in Bitcoin over the Lightning Network, or via gift cards or stablecoins.

The site describes earning opportunities across several categories:

• AI tasks — including recording POV videos of daily activities
• Walking (step tracking)
• Shopping
• Playing games
• Surveys
• Learning
• Gift cards
• Competitions

Platforms it supports

There's also a separate business offering (sMiles Pro) with healthcare, NFC, API & SDK, and ad-related products, but that's aimed at businesses rather than individual earners.

The main earning method: recording POV videos

The most prominently featured task on the site is recording simple point-of-view videos of your daily chores — cooking, cleaning, gardening, and similar activities. The pitch is that AI needs real-world video, and you already have a phone.

How it works, per the site:

1. Download sMiles and Minute Data — create an account, accept the terms, and link your Minute Data account.
2. Complete tasks — open the Minute Data app and record paid POV video tasks from home. The site states no face recording is required.
3. Open sMiles — watch rewards accumulate as you complete tasks.
4. Get paid — withdraw via Bitcoin, gift cards, or stablecoins.

Key numbers the site gives:

• Top task rate: $4–$12/hr, paid per approved hour of footage
• 70+ tasks available
• Typical review time: 4 hours before earnings land
• Final approval can take up to 6 weeks

That last point matters: the 4-hour figure is a typical review time, but final approval can stretch to six weeks, so don't count on immediate payouts.

Where it's available

Tasks are only available in these countries, according to the site:

United States, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates.

If you're outside this list, the task-earning side won't work for you.

How you get paid

Payouts go out as:

• Bitcoin over the Lightning Network — withdrawable to any Bitcoin Lightning Network wallet
• Gift cards
• Stablecoins

The site doesn't publish minimum withdrawal thresholds or fee details, so check inside the app before assuming a specific payout schedule.

Is it worth trying?

It may suit you if:

• You live in one of the supported countries
• You want to earn small amounts of Bitcoin for tasks you'd partly do anyway (walking, chores)
• You're comfortable recording POV video of everyday activities
• You don't need the money immediately (approval can take weeks)

It may not suit you if:

• You're outside the supported regions
• You want predictable, high hourly earnings
• You're unwilling to record video for AI training tasks
• You need fast, guaranteed payouts

The app has a 4.5 rating with 8,700+ reviews as cited on the site. As with any rewards app, treat earnings as supplemental rather than a primary income source, and review the terms and privacy policy before signing up.
