Ways to Earn Extra Money or Rewards

One of my readers asked me to repost this so I am:

Earn Gift Cards and Rewards for Searching:

SwagBucks - You can earn paypal cash, gift cards and many other rewards from this site. There are several ways to earn "swagbucks" that can be cashed in for your rewards. The easiest way is to do searches from their site and every once in awhile you will "win" swagbucks. I ALWAYS GET AT LEAST 1 EACH MORNING WITH ONLY A FEW SEARCHES. You can also follow them on twitter, facebook, their blog, their toolbar and their widgets to get special codes for swagbucks each day.

Earn Money by Reading Emails:

MyPoints - You can earn gift cards from this site by reading emails and doing short surveys. I have used them for years and have gotten many gift cards from them. Super Easy Site!!! It takes me about 2 months to get a $10 gift card but it is not hard work at all.

InboxDollars - Similar to MyPoint - You can get a check once you get to $30 in your account. You get money for reading emails and doing surveys. This site will take about 5 months to get to $30 but again, its super easy, you just click on a link in an email to show that you "read" it. You get $5 in your account just for signing up and then another 25 cents each for 4 short questionnaires.

SendEarnings - Exactly like InboxDollars - In fact I swear it must be the same people that run it because even how the pages are set up are exactly the same. Might as well earn money from both sites since its super easy. You get $5 in your account just for signing up here as well.

Reward Port 500 free points for signing up (don't check any "special offers when signing up). You will redeem points for rewards and gift cards.

Earn Money by Taking Surveys:

MySurvey - I love this survey site, its my favorite because they never jip you out of money. The surveys have never shut down on me or told me how I didn't qualify after I spent 10 min doing the survey. It does take longer to earn money with them but they are much shorter surveys than other survey sites. Also I have been with them long enough now that I get to test products. I have gotten toothpaste, shampoo, cereal and a few pizzas from them to try and review. Also in the beginning, you don't get offered as many surveys as people who have been with them for awhile.

Lightspeed - I have been using this survey site for about a month now and LOVE it. They send tons of surveys. You can cash in for paypal or gift cards when you reach enough points. I have gotten enough for a $5 gift card but am waiting to get to $10 (I need to go in and do the surveys that are waiting for me right now!!!)

OpinionOutpost - I have a love/hate relationship with this site. They send a lot of surveys but 80% of them I don't qualify for. They do pay well when you do qualify. I keep trying every survey they send though because from time to time I do qualify and make decent money. I make about $10 a month (check) from this site. Once you have $5 in your account, you can ask for a check or Amazon gift card and they send it very quickly.

Pinecone Research (not accepting applications right now) - they pay $3 per survey through paypal or a check (and they are FAST to pay). They also sent me a "secret" product to review. I have been with them for about a month and have finished 5 surveys (and received 5 $3 checks).

Earn Money and Rewards by Reviewing Products:

ExpoTV/Tryology - Review products by making video clips and get points for each video. You can cash in for gift cards and other rewards. You get 200 points for setting up your profile and 2,000 for uploading your first video. With around 3000 points you can get a $25 CVS or Amazon gift card. I have already reached that amount and I just joined a month or so ago. They also will send you products to try from time to time (I got chocolate covered pretzels last month)

Nielsen HomeScan - They will mail you a scanner and when you buy products you scan the UPC codes and enter them online and get points. You cash in points for rewards. (I am on a waiting list for this program right now)

Other Reward Programs that I like:

MyCokeRewards - Enter codes from coke products and cash in points for rewards. Codes are found under caps and inside 12 packs, 24 packs and 36 flats. Rewards include things like coupons for free products, gift cards and more.

Pampers Gifts to Grow - Enter codes online and cash points in for rewards. You will find codes on Pampers products and sometimes I will post bonus codes. GO HERE for several bonus codes if you are new to signing up.

Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards - Similar to Pampers Gifts to Grow. You get codes from Huggies products to enter online for points. You can also watch video clips on the site for points and I post bonus codes from time to time. You can use your points to try to win prizes or you can cash in points for gift cards and other rewards. GO HERE for all my posts with codes.

Vocal Point - I have been with this company for awhile now. They send out free samples and high value coupons about every 4-6 weeks. I have gotten MANY MANY things for free with the coupons they send!!!

BzzAgent - I have been with this company for anout a year. I don't get as many free items and coupons from them but I did just get those Wanchai Ferry and Macaroni Grill dinner kits from them.

Kraft First Taste - Get coupons for free products or high value money off products. They will add coupons into your account from time to time (I will post when I find a coupon in my account so you can check yours)

General Mills PSSST - get news about new products and free samples and coupons from time to time.
