1. Mypoints--This is a legitimate click-to-earn site. You earn points, then you use the points to get gift cards. When I first started in college, I loved the $25 Tower Records cards. I now enjoy the $50 Walmart and Walgreens cards, but there are hundreds to choose from. They change from time to time, but right now, you can get gift cards from hundreds of different places, including clothing stores like Old Navy or LL Bean; restaurants like Red Robin or Steak N Shake; entertainment like Regal Cinema or Barnes and Noble, etc., etc., etc. There are several ways to earn:
a. My favorite is through the emails. You can sign up to get as many/few as you want. You usually get five points per click-through email.
b. You can also sign up for stuff. Signing up for newsletters, more information, etc. allows you to earn between 15 and 50 points, usually.
c. The ultimate purpose of the site is a shopping site. If you shop online at all, this is the place to do it. At one point (when I had extra money lying around-ha!), I did my shopping through mypoints, and I was earning about one gift card per month. All you do is go to the site, find the retailer you're wanting to shop, and click through the website to get to the retailer's site. Then, you earn points for each dollar you spend. Each retailer has different amounts of points. One little trick I often use is to get a gift card with my rewards for a retailer that also offered rewards through mypoints. Take, for example, Barnes and Noble. For 3,650 points, you get a $25 Barnes and Noble giftcard. If you go to the mypoints website, search for Barnes and Noble, then click through to do your shopping, you earn 10 points per dollar you spend.
d. There are other ways to earn rewards--various promotions, performing internet searches, watching videos, and, of course, recommending friends.
Email me for a link, and we'll both get extra points!
2. Inbox dollars--This site is similar to mypoints, but you earn actual cash. I've been a member for several years, and I recently earned a $50 check. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a whole lot of money, but it's super easy. All I do is click through a bunch of emails once or twice a week!
3. Secret shopping--While this is not completely online, per se, I've gotten free multi-course meals, products, oil changes, brake inspections, eye exams, and more. I'm a member of several secret shopping websites. To be a secret shopper, you sign up with a website (such as Intellishop), then you check for available jobs. The page about the job will have all the information you need--where you will go, when, what you have to do, how much you will be reimbursed, and how much you will be paid. When you're starting out, you'll mostly get shops that are either reimbursement only or a small shop pay (around $5 or $10), but the more shops you do, the better shops you get. And, a $50 meal that you get reimbursed for is better than no meal at all!
For any of these topics, email me for links or for more info. I can help you start earning rewards, and I can earn some, too!
