Ever wondered how the Credit Card companies decide who to approve?

Introducing a cool new feature that the credit card companies will hate…

Ever wondered how credit card companies decide who to approve? Well, Credit Karma has been busy crunching billions of data points and we’ve come up with a way to help you avoid being declined for a credit card….

Introducing Approval Odds!

Tailored. Credit Karma uses key factors from your credit profile and some mind-numbing math to calculate your approval odds for over 30 of our top credit cards.
Up Front. The Approval Odds badge appears right next to Credit Karma’s credit card offers to help you understand how likely you are to be approved for that offer.
Credit Smart. Too many inquiries on your credit report can impact your credit health. Following the badges to the best offer is a good way to keep inquiries down by avoiding declined applications.

And just like the rest of Credit Karma, this is a completely free new feature. Just update your score every month and Credit Karma will instantly calculate your latest Approval Odds. Take the mystery out of getting credit, and put some power back in YOUR hands.

To get started, sign up for a totally free account at Credit Karma today:

Is it safe?

Credit Karma has been featured on shows like CNN and Good Morning America, and I use it myself. I seriously love it. People have asked me many times how to get a “real” free credit report… So many sites make you sign up for something to get it.

I used to suggest using the links to the credit places directly, since by law you can get one free copy from each, every year. But now that I’ve found Credit Karma, that’s all I will use from now on!

It is so easy to read and understand, and it’s completely safe. Read more about Credit Karma on wikipedia, on CrunchBase, or on Wisebread. And get signed up today! Knowing your credit score and having a copy of your own credit report, is such an important thing to do for your family!

Bloggers: Looking for new Affiliates?

I’ve had a TON of people ask me about affiliate programs lately, so I thought I’d share a quick bit of info!

New Blogging Series

I’m putting together a series of posts about how to earn extra income with your blog, how to run great giveaways, and some cool networks to join. It will start Sunday, July 3, so stay tuned!

I’m no expert, obviously. But I’ve learned a lot of great tips that I’d love to share. I get so many emails with questions from you guys, and I feel bad that I don’t always have time to get back to people quickly. So hopefully putting together this series will help answer a lot of questions!

Affiliate Programs

These are top 3 easiest affiliate programs to get started with:

I was a fan of MySavings daily email updates before I had a blog! {Check them out here: Free Samples, to see what type of goodies they share daily.} I’ve had a really good experience with them.

Logical Media is another great one… Not quite as simple to use, in my opinion. I don’t like the way you search for campaigns, but a lot of people love the way they do it. Maybe I just am not smart enough to “get” it, lol.

And finally, Escalate Media, which is my favorite. What I love about them is the personal attention… They are super quick to respond to email questions, and they do webinars regularly to give you helpful tips. Love ’em.

Post Your Questions!

If you have any questions about how affiliate’s work, or one of these companies in particular, leave me a comment! Or if you have questions about anything blog related, or a helpful tip you’d like to share… Comment away, ladies!

If I use your tip in the series, I’ll definitely credit you and link to your blog. I’d love to know what you guys would like to learn more about, so I can make sure to put together as much helpful info as I can!

Have a great weekend, and enjoy the sunshine!

New Product Tests: Diapers and Detergent!

MySurvey

The longer I use MySurvey, the more I’m a fan! I used to only check in with their surveys once in awhile, because they were a newer company for me, and I guess I just wasn’t used to using them much. But oh boy, lately they’ve been rockin’ my socks!

Make-up and diapers and detergent, Oh My!

In the past couple of months, I’ve gotten to test a full size Cover Girl mascara, and a set of three really great plug-in fragrance units.

Then, last week or so, I took a survey that ended with a message stating that I would get to test out a FREE package of 24 diapers in my little girls size, and give feedback. Diapers are pricey, so you KNOW I loved that! They should arrive any day.

Then tonight, I took a survey that ended with a message that I’ll get a FREE 3 week supply of detergent AND a fabric softner, to test and give opinions on! Love it, right?

Join me at MySurvey!

MySurvey – Take Surveys, Earn Rewards, It’s Easy & Free! Click Here to join me.

You get points for every survey you complete. And I love that you get points EVERY time you attempt a survey… If you don’t qualify, you still get a few points for trying. And they screen you really quick, so you don’t waste your time!

Then, you sometimes get the FREE product to test out and keep. AND you get rewarded with more points for sharing your thoughts on what you try out.

Those points can be redeemed for cool merchandise like tshirts or DVD’s, or even cool kitchen goodies. Or just swap ’em for gift cards like I do… It only takes a few surveys to have enough for a $10 Amazon card!

Love it… What are YOUR favorite survey sites?? Any more good ones I should know about…??

Win FREE Baby Stuff!

Check out Baby to Bee for the best giveaways and sample opportunities!

They have tons of new stuff each week, so make sure to sign up, so that you don’t miss out on anything super cool.

I won!

I won one of those BIG boxes of Pampers, the package of 200+ like you get on Amazon, when Abby was about a month old. That helped SO much. Plus, I get tons of samples here still, even though she’s quickly growing into a big girl.

Baby Shower Gifts

I think that even once she’s outgrown the need for a lot of the baby stuff, I’ll still request it all. I’ve made a couple of great shower gifts with samples now… I buy the diaper bag from the registry, then pack it full of coupons, formula and diaper samples, and more. Super popular gifts…. It gives a new mom a great way to check out a few brands to see what works best for her and baby :)

So check it out, and start getting your own baby freebies too!
