Rewards Programs

Volition.com:

If you only take away one resource from my site, make it this one. This is a huge site with tons of information -- all free -- about various money-making and money-saving processes.

• It has lists of mystery shopping companies, any category the companies specialize in, and links to sign up.
  
• It has a forum where open jobs are posted, along with location.
• It has a coupon section
• It has information on making money online -- from points programs to pay for reading email and surfing the net

MyPoints:

• This is a fabulous program. I've cashed in points for hundreds of dollars of gift cards over the past eight or nine years. Mom and I saved up for Sam's Club cards and used them to buy food for the wedding buffet
  
• You get 5 points for reading an email and clicking; 10 points if you try to take a survey and you don't qualify
  
• In addition, if you do online shopping, you can use MyPoints as a portal and earn points for each dollar you spend
  
• Or you can sign up for trial memberships (but be sure to write down the cancel-by date on a calendar)
• You can redeem for as little as $10 (1500 points), if a birthday or holiday is approaching.
  
• Just for signing up, you get 250 points
• If you refer a friend, you get 250 points
• If you do decide to sign up, I would love it if you'd use me as a referral: seattlegirluw@yahoo.com
