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 suggest you make an alternate email address to use for these companies. That way they don’t get mixed in with your everyday emails. I mainly do the click sites while I am watching TV or chatting on the phone. Good luck!

I love lightspeed! I think it is the best survey site. I have only been doing it a few months and have gotten $20 in paypal so far. A few more surveys and I have another $10. I just did one today for 500 points! I wait until I get enough for $10 in paypal.
Mindfield, I never qualify for their surveys so I don’t even try anymore.
I like the inbox dollars, mypoints and send earnings, I strictly do just the email clicks on those. I don’t do the surveys on those sites.
I just started getting approved for Mindfields often within the last month or so!
I’m curious to try these sites, but nervous. Maybe I’ll get brave enough :-)
Question: Does the money have a time frame that you have to use it by? Say I do the surveys May 2010….and I make $15paypal… does it have an expiration date? I wont be going to Disney for over a year.. my grandson just turned one. I want to wait until he can ‘really enjoy’ Disney.
Thanx
Nope. Once it’s in your Paypal, it’s yours. :)
Thanks – I was wondering what sites you used!
I have made about the same amount you have made in May above…only mine has been since the start of the year (4 months)… and from about 20 different survey companies (not including Swagbucks or MyPoints). I haven’t figured out how much time it takes me because quite frankly I would be so depressed I wouldn’t want to continue. It is very time consuming and not everyone gets the pay offs from doing it.
One company I finally looked the other day at my survey history and I have taken over 80 surveys and I have zero cash or points to show for it. Yes I understand it is all about demographics but these posts are starting to irritate me. LOL! Please be advised YMMV. (Your mileage may vary.) Not everyone will acheive the same results.
:-/
I just started to get Opinion Outpost. I made over $10 there today alone. But my cash cow has been Sunshine. I am averaging $3.00 a day in surveys there. I don’t spend a lot of time on them because I don’t have a lot of time to spend. I just blogged about those survey sites everyone talks about how they made $75 in one week and how some are a joke. Did you happen to get into one of those here today gone tomorrow sites?
My favorite is ispos-Isay. I recieve surveys from them often and just recently started recieving household products. I AM IN LOVE! Name brand products that are full sizes! However, just remember every company bases it on your household, so not everyone will have the same success as others.
I love Opinion outpost and Lightspeed lately. It seems that all the sights have a period where you don’t seem to qualify and then others times it seems that you qualify for everything! So just be patient.
I signed up for lightspeed after I saw you mention it last time. I haven’t qualified yet though. What a bummer!
My favorite is definitely opinion outpost. I have made $20 since joining on 4/17! (I impress easily. LOL)
I like opinion outpost, i-say and mypoints. I also have memolink which is a bit slow but I like it because I can go myself and check if I am elgibile for surveys everyday and I get a little even if I do not qualify.
I got an $8 check from opinion outpost last week, it took only a week from the day I ordered the check till I got it. I was impressed
