This is a repost with some additions. I am sure that some of you overspent a little on the holidays (thankfully I didn’t, but I still have debt). I want you to know how I am earning some extra cash to pay off debt.
I only recommend companies that I have personally worked with and received compensation from. I will disclose that by clicking any links below, I will earn commission or referral points. Although I will be compensated, all opinions written below are my 100%own and for your benefit, not mine. I will not recommend you companies that are unreliable. I do however recommend that you keep a separate email account for the email reading companies.
Between all these companies, I have earned over $250 this year from signing up and using them daily(and I haven’t been with all the companies for this whole year). Here are a few of the best ways to earn money and gift cards that I have found:
Swagbucks
Since the end of June, I have earned $75 in Amazon Gift Cards through Swagbucks. I try to do all my searches at home and school using this search engine. What is great about swagbucks is that I don’t have to do anything else! If you have already signed up for Swagbucks and haven’t been using it, I recommend dwonloading the toolbar to remind you to search. It is a great way to make free money for gifts for Christmas and other holidays. If you haven’t signed up yet, it is FREE and easy to use! Click on the banner above to sign up today.
Opinion Outpost
There are many survey companies out there, and some of them are less than reputable. I love Pinecone Research, but they don’t have open enrollment all the time. My second favorite company is Opinion Outpost. I have earned over $40 in surveys and referrals since the end of June. The money can be taken immediately in the form of an Amazon gift card code.
My Points
I have been a member of My Points for about 1 year now. I have never bought anything through the site. I only click the emails and take the surveys. You can also earn points by buying things online. In the year I have been with them, I have earned enough points to receive $35 in gift cards. Clicking the emails is not hard, but I would recommend you send these to your junk email account. I get an average of 3-5 emails per day. (I have applied to be an affiliate for MyPoints, but am awaiting approval. Until then search for it in Swagbucks to try to earn some extra “bucks”.)
Send Earnings and Inbox Dollars
This is another email clicking site, although they also offer surveys and advertising. So far I have earned $16 since July, and the payout is at $30. I estimate that will take me until June of next year, but with very minimal effort. Click below to find out more.
I haven’t been a member of Inbox Dollars for very long, but it seems a lot like Send Earnings (I think they may even have the same parent company). There are surveys for $.50 and payout is at $30.
You Data
You Data pays you via Pay Pal for looking at their ads. I don’t think I fit their criteria very well, because I rarely have new ads. I have heard of people making between $3-$5 per week just by quickly viewing ads. So far, I have sent hubby around $.09 a week. Not a lot, but if you have kids, I know you can earn more.
Ebates
This is a cash back for shopping online site that I love. I have earned $101 in one year by shopping online through this site for making purchases that I would have made anyway. I highly recommend Ebates to anyone. I use some other cash back sites, but this is the most reliable and often the highest payout;
Shop At Home
Another cash back site for online shopping is Shop at Home. I just got a $35 check in the mail for doing a Blockbuster Online trial. I spent $18 and received $35 back! This site has a daily double that is often a great deal.
