Kin is the coin created by the makers of Kik messenger. You earn it by doing trivia or surveys through their app - however, it has problems. Originally, they marketed it as "then you c an trade in your Kin for gift cards," then they started always being sold out of gift cards and omitting Amazon (the one everyone wanted) gift cards entirely. Then they declared you could only trade in Kin for one of one type of gift card a month, which is about as often as they toss a small number of them up on the app to be able to trade for anyway. They feature "use Kin in our other apps" - but I dgaf about their other apps, except Kik, but using it there is like "make your chat a different color." I don't care about it being a different color? I would like to earn a COIN to be used as coins are used, for GOODS. I wouldn't have spent a few minutes every day to make my chat a different color, you know?
So I stopped doing the activities and am just checking the app every day to see if a gift card has become available that I can actually use (they're all pretty much for fluff luxury items in my book - so I'm collecting AMC movie theater gift cards with it. In several months, I've managed to buy three $5 gift cards and have that much again in Kin waiting to be spent, if they let me. After that I'm over it. I downloaded the thing to hopefully buy cat food with on Amazon - so much for that idea!

The token for KIK.
