Survey sites I’m having good luck with lately….

Read on to learn some of the sites I’m having really good luck with lately, and share your favorites too!

Another Product Test Opp from MySurvey-

I swear, I’ve been on a ROLL with MySurvey lately… This is my 3rd product test opportunity in less than 2 months, which is amazing.

And yep, it’s another style of diapers to test out! I’m thinking that if you’re a mom, you need to join MySurvey ASAP, since all of my product tests and most of the surveys I’ve been getting rewarded for, are targeted towards moms with babies or kids under 5. It’s an easy peasy sign up, and the rewards rock too!

BIG Money Surveys at Toluna-

Another site I’ve been having some great luck with over the last few months, after a loooooong dry spell with them, is Toluna! I went a few months with hardly any earnings… It seemed like EVERY survey I would attempt would kick me out after a few questions, saying I didn’t qualify. So of course, that led to me not even wanting to try very often.

Then, I started getting some BIG money-points surveys; like, $10-$30 surveys every few days. And…. I actually qualified for almost all of them! I just had another one this week, a two part survey, but the points from the two combined equal over $30, which is amazing. I’ve been letting them add up, so I can get a BIG check before holiday shopping time!

Share your Favorites-

Have you noticed anything different with any of your survey sites lately? Any that you’re having great luck with? I’d love to hear some new one’s to check out… You know I sign up for TONS!

Remember.. The more sites you use, the more chances for good surveys, and the more money and free products you get. Plus, almost all the survey sites do monthly giveaways just for their members, with better odd’s than the big sweepstakes sites. So the more survey sites you join, the better your chances are to WIN big prizes too!

Did You Know… You can earn BONUS cash by clipping coupons?

Coupons are a great way to save money, right?

Well, what if I told you that in addition to the money you save when you REDEEM those coupons at your local grocery store, that there are also a few ways to earn BONUS money and rewards for clipping coupons too??

How to Earn Rewards from your Coupon Clipping:

You earn 10 Swagbucks for EVERY coupon that you print out from their site and redeem!!! There are great ones too:

$1.00 off Skittles
$1.00 off 1 Minute Maid Juice Box 10-pk
$1.50 off any TWO (2) Ziploc Containers
$1.00 off TWO Clorox Clean-Up products
.75 cents off 1 package of PHILADELPHIA Cooking Creme
and TONS more!

What the points are worth:

You can get a $5 Amazon gift card every time you reach 450 points, {or one of thousands of other rewards, this one is just my favorite.}, which means each coupon is worth about .10 cents in Amazon bucks. You’re going to clip coupons anyway, so this is an AMAZING way to add some extra savings!! You can find the coupon printing app right on the home page, right side. LOVE this!!

**********

Another way to earn some bonus rewards with coupons is to use Inbox Dollars to print coupons. Every coupon you print and redeem here will earn you .10 cents cash!!

They deposit it right into your Inbox Dollars account, and you can request a check when you reach $30. And they are VERY accurate, I’ve been using it for years, and have never had any problems. There are a ton of other ways to earn here too, plus you get a FREE $5 bucks today when you sign up!!

**********

MyPoints rewards you with points that you can also use towards FREE gift cards!! You earn 10 points for every Coupons.com coupon that you print and redeem. Plus, earn 25 BONUS Points when you print and redeem and 10 or more Coupons.com, Smartsource.com coupons or when you save and redeem any 10 or more Cellfire coupons in a month!

Your points can be redeemed for 100% free gift cards- A few examples:

1,650 points = $10 The Cheesecake Factory Gift Card
1,700 points = $10 CVS/pharmacy® Gift Card
3,950 points = $25 Amazon.com Gift Cert. Claim Code
6,850 points = $50 Old Navy Gift Card
8,950 points = $50 into your PayPal account

I like to save up all of the gift cards that I earn all year, and use them at the holidays, to make most of my shopping free!

How the Savings add up:

Many of these coupons are similar to what you’ll find on Coupons.com, or RedPlum, or what you can load digitally to your cards on Cellfire. The big difference is that you are getting PAID bonus rewards or cash when you use them… Which you don’t get when you use coupons from other sites! Think of it this way…

EVERY 10 COUPONS YOU PRINT EARNS YOU AN EXTRA $1 DOLLAR!!! WOW, RIGHT???

That adds up quick! Plus, if you usually print coupons from the other sites, there is a limit to how many copies you can print. So head to one of these sites to print more, to stock up on great deals!!

You can also earn with Online Coupon Codes:

Sign up for an account at CouponChief.com, then add the best online coupon codes you find each day. You can share your link with friends, {mine is SunandSipCups if you want to check it out… I haven’t used it in awhile, so the codes are probably old. But I’m going to be getting started with this again very soon!} or if you’re a blogger, add the widget right on your site, and share your Top 5 Coupon Codes directly with your readers!

You earn 2% of the purchase price, every time someone makes a purchase with YOUR coupon code!! Awesome, right?

Get signed up today, and start earning more money!!

Remember, sign up at Swagbucks to earn points for every coupon you print and redeem, which you can use to get FREE gift cards and other rewards!! Sign up at Inbox Dollars too, and earn FREE CASH for every coupon you redeem!!! And if you shop online a lot, share those cool coupon codes you find on CouponChief.com, and earn more cash that way too!!

This is a great way to earn a little {or a LOT if you’re a big coupon junkie} extra money for your family….
