Rewards Programs Update 11.3.09

One of the biggest ways I earn money for our trip is by using rewards companies like survey companies and companies that pay you to click on links in emails. It won't make you rich, but you can average $20-$75 a month by doing them.

I've done a lot and these are my favorite. I had about 6 days worth of items in my inbox to weed through.

Mindfield - 3 Screener. Didn't qualify today. (Got a $9 check yesterday. Requested a $40 check today. Most of that money is from referrals.)

My Points - Clicked on links in emails for a total of 95 pts. I have 4407 points. I need 6750 for a $50 Rainforest Cafe Gift Card (for our trip to Disney!)

My Survey - No screeners today. I need 1,000 points to qualify for a $10 check. I have 755. (Requested a $30 check on 10.22.09.)

Opinion Outpost - 3 screeners. 1 survey worth 15 points. I only need 50 points to cash out for a $5 Amazon.com GC. I now have 40 points. (Last requested a $6 Amazon GC on 10.11.09)

Survey Head - 4 screeners. 1 survey worth $1. You need $25 to cash out. You get a $5 bonus for joining. Requested a $25 check on 10.22. I now have $1.

Reward Port - Clicked on links in emails worth a total of 243 points. (I did not do any point earning offers.) I have 2498 points. I need 7500 to get a $25 gift card to Walmart.

Send Earnings - Clicked on links in emails worth a total of 84c. Current balance $12.20. Need $30 to cash out.

Swagbucks - Won $1 (in Swagbucks) this morning. I need 45 to get a $5 gift card to Amazon.com.

* A screener is when they ask you questions to see if you qualify for the paid survey.
