Extra Cash: Earn Gift Cards from My Points + 100 point sign up bonus

I just cashed out for a $50 Rainforest Cafe gift card for our next trip to Disney World from My Points! It is 6750 points and it took me about 7 months to earn the points.

I have been a member of MyPoints since 2005. It is so easy to earn rewards with them….

Earn 5 points per each email you read.
Earn 50 plus points for surveys (usually 250 points) or 10 points if you don’t qualify for surveys
Earn points by shopping through their site at popular merchants on the web
Earn points by completing their special offers and bonus points opportunities (I only do these if they are absolutely free!)
Participate in the Daily Deal Share for 5 points
Print your Smart Source and Coupons.com coupons through their site. You’ll earn points based on how many you redeem
Install their toolbar to earn bonus points during the month
Sign up for Bzz Agent and earn MyPoints for participating in their various programs
Refer friends and receive 250 points each
Does anyone know of other ways to earn?

They have tons of gift cards to choose from, but of course my favorite is the RainForest Cafe gift card (there are 2 locations at Disney World). A $50 gift card is 6750 points. I also hear that you can get Walgreens gift cards and use them to get Disney gift cards.

Earn Prizes with the Nielsen Home Scan Panel

in *Deals Online,Extra Cash

Nielsen (you know the people that track the TV ratings) has a program that tracks your shopping purchases called The Home Scan Panel. Apply and see if you get selected. They also have monthly drawings and one of my readers entered and won an iPad2!

Here’s how it works: Sign up here and upon approval they send you a scanner. You scan all the purchases you bring into your house, groceries, healthy and beauty, clothes, etc. (This is a fun thing to let the kids do!) Once a week, you hook the scanner up to your computer (or you can elect to get the scanner that submits it’s data over a landline) and in about a minute it transmits the data back to Nielsen.

You earn points for each weekly submission (150 points but it goes up the longer you’ve been a member) and then you also complete a short survey on each store you shopped at that week (100 points per store).

The points can be exchanged for a variety of prizes such as a Step 2 Easel for 34,000 pts or Dooney & Bourke® Small Tulip Tassel Tote for 95,000 points (awesome!). They have over 250 prizes to choose from.

This is one of the many ways you can add cash to your fund. Be sure to see all the ways to earn extra cash. Go here to read to the Getting Started “Couponing to Disney” page.

Extra Cash: Get paid to complete surveys with Mindfield Online

in Extra Cash

Mindfield Online is another one of my favorite survey companies. I’ve tested a few products for them (they pay you and send you the product to test free!). I have even been offered some really high dollar surveys ($7 and $8!).

One of my readers joined and the same day she received TWO $25 surveys the day she joined! They were surveys that you complete daily over a 2 week period, but how cool is that?

Extra Cash: Get paid to complete surveys with Toluna

in *Deals Online,Extra Cash

Toluna is once again accepting applications from new members. Toluna is not my favorite of the survey companies (I like MySurvey and I-say better), but some of my readers have had success with it. Here’s what they had to say:

From my reader Larisa…

I just cashed in for $100 on Toluna, waiting for the check. I have done Toluna since Dec. 26 and I cashed in on May 22. So in 5 months I made $100. Not too bad.

From my reader Letha…

I have great luck with Toluna. I joined in early September 2010 and have recieved 7 $20 checks since then. Just like other survey sites, sometimes I qualify for the surveys sometimes I don’t. But on the home page are the sponsored polls. According to my profile, I have voted 9736 times. I have gotten about half of my points just from taking these polls that do not take much time but add up quickly. This morning I have 33 polls that I can take, ranging from 30 to 105 points. Give it another shot and do these polls maybe it will change your mind about Toluna.

Exchange your books on Paperback Swap

in Extra Cash

Back in 2007 I joined a website called Paperback Swap. I’ve used this site every since to exchange my used paperback books for other paperback books. I most recently used my credits to complete my collection of Catherine Anderson books.

Paperback Swap is so easy to use. Here’s how it works:

1. Join Paperback Swap (this is my referral link and I will earn a free book credit. Make sure you refer your friends after you join!)

2. Post 10 books that you are willing to swap with other members. Once you have posted 10 books you will automatically receive 2 credits!

3. You can use your credits to order ANY BOOK YOU WANT (each paperback book costs 1 credit)! Just use their search feature to search over a million different paperback books. They have everything! And if you don’t see the book you want, you create a wish list and the minute that book is listed by a member, you are alerted!

4. If a member requests one of the books you have listed for trade, it is so easy to mail it to them! You just print out the Paperback Swap mailers (these print on computer paper), wrap up the book and affix postage (it’s usually $2.23 to mail a book) and send it off. When the member receives the book, you will receive a credit in your account (that you can use to get any book you want!)

5. It’s that simple! I love love love this site.

If you have any more questions, leave a comment and I will do my best to answer it.
