Jingit, the startup that pays users to watch ads online, announced last week that it raised $7 million from undisclosed investors.

This comes after the $3.5 million round the Minnesota-based company raised last year, bringing the total investment amount to over $10 million.

Jingit demoed at FinovateFall 2011, where it announced that U.S. Bank will provide the Jingit debit card that users can swipe to spend the cash they earned watching ads. No word on the status of that trial.

To learn more about Jingit, watch its FinovateFall 2011 demo.
