I kept seeing BagPackMatch pop up in the Apple App Store—it’s a free puzzle game that claims you can earn real PayPal cash just by matching luggage. As a busy mom, that idea had me curious. I mean, if I’m already on my phone during snack breaks and carpool lines, why not earn a few bucks while I’m at it?
But let’s be real—so many of these “get paid to play” apps turn out to be scammy or just painfully slow. So I downloaded BagPackMatch, tested it out myself, and here’s the full scoop. Yes, it does pay. But there’s a catch… or two.
What Is BagPackMatch?
BagPackMatch is a free iOS-only game where you match colorful suitcases on a conveyor belt to earn in-game coins. The hook? You can cash those coins out for real money via PayPal. It sounds like a dream come true for anyone who already loves mobile games, especially moms looking for a low-effort way to earn a little extra during nap time.
The app doesn’t require you to make an account—just download, open, and start playing.
How Does BagPackMatch Work?
Here’s how it’s supposed to work:
-
Download BagPackMatch from the App Store (iPhone only)
-
Play levels by matching 3 of the same color suitcase
-
Earn coins based on your gameplay and ad views
-
Redeem coins for real money starting at $0.01
Sounds simple enough, right?
Well, after Level 2, the game appears to break. Level 3 refuses to load no matter how many times you open or restart the app.
But oddly enough, the app still lets you earn coins by watching ads.
Here’s what I discovered:
-
You can get 10,000 coins per ad
-
Tap to double the reward and watch a second ad = 20,000 coins total
-
This works after Levels 1 and 2, and also by tapping the “Get Coin” button or the dollar bubble on the home screen
-
Close the app, reopen it, and repeat—without needing to actually play
So if you’re just watching ads over and over again, you can realistically earn about 300,000 coins per hour, which equals $0.30.
Yep, that’s thirty cents for watching ads for a full hour. Technically legit. But definitely not efficient.
How Much Money Can You Make?
Here’s a realistic breakdown:
-
You need 5,000 coins for $0.01
-
Or 50,000 coins for $0.05 (which I tested and successfully received via PayPal)
-
Earning 20,000 coins takes about 2–3 minutes of ad watching
-
That puts your potential earnings around $0.30 per hour if you’re hustling non-stop
And remember—you’re not actually playing the game beyond Level 2. You’re just watching ad after ad.
It pays—but only in pennies, and not for actual gameplay. So unless you really love watching mobile ads, it’s not worth it for most people.
How Do You Cash Out?
BagPackMatch makes cashing out easy, at least on paper:
-
Tap “Redeem” once you’ve earned enough coins
-
Choose from $0.01 up to $50 PayPal payouts
-
Minimum payout: 5,000 coins = $0.01
-
I cashed out $0.05 at 50,000 coins and received it instantly from Octopus Interactive Technology Limited on PayPal
-
You can only redeem certain amounts once per day
They also encourage you to join a Telegram group after your first cash-out, but that’s totally optional.
Is BagPackMatch Legit or a Scam?
Let’s be honest: BagPackMatch is not a scam. I tested it myself, and I did get paid. The app delivered my $0.05 to PayPal within minutes. No tricks, no missing money.
But here’s the real question: Is it worth your time?
Not really.
The game crashes at Level 3, so you can’t actually progress or play beyond that. You only earn coins by watching ads—lots and lots of ads. And you’ll make about $0.30 per hour max, and that’s if you’re really committed.
So yes, it’s legit. But the effort-to-earnings ratio just isn’t worth it for most moms (or anyone, really). Unless you enjoy tapping through repetitive ads for pennies, you’re better off with other “get paid to play” apps that offer real gameplay and steadier payouts.
Pros and Cons
✅ Pros:
-
Free to download
-
Pays out via PayPal
-
Minimum cash-out is only $0.01
-
You can cash out instantly
❌ Cons:
-
Game freezes at Level 3
-
Real earnings come only from watching ads
-
Very low earning potential ($0.30/hour max)
-
Can get repetitive fast
Final Verdict
BagPackMatch is technically legit—but in practice, it’s more of an ad-watching app than a real game. If you’re curious and want to test it like I did, go for it. You’ll probably earn a few cents and cash out once or twice.
But unless you’re really committed to watching ads for minimal payouts, this one’s probably not worth your time. There are better “paid to play” apps out there that don’t rely on broken gameplay and endless ad loops.
Have you tried BagPackMatch? Did your Level 3 work, or did you run into the same issue I did? Let me know in the comments—I’d love to hear your experience!
