Navigating Reward Sites for FREE Gift Cards/Cash!
For those of you who know me personally, you know I am extremely great at earning free money and gift cards from rewards sites. I recently earned $450 in Amazon Gift Cards with in 2 months. Understanding these sites can be a bit confusing as well as overwhelming if your not sure how to navigate them, but I created this particular post in order to help you understand them more as well as help you get started. Although, I do have some I favor over others I still try to do little bits at a time on the sites I do not use often. Earning points on these sites add up, no matter how little your earning at a time, if you devote a small amount of time each day (30 minutes or less) you can earn a significant amount of money each month.
I recommend bookmarking each site and saving your password automatically to your web browser to help cut some time out of how long you spend on each site. I also suggest saving your points and instead of cashing them in monthly cash them all in at once, November before all of the great Christmas deals begin. This will also help cute your Christmas budget significantly. For me these sites cover all of my Christmas each year, the more you stick to it the more you earn.

Swagbucks (One of my main Go-Tos)
Swagbucks can be more than just a little confusing to begin with but once you get the hang of it, they make it really easy to earn. My two main earnings from Swagbucks come from searching and Swag Codes. Once you sign up for Swagbucks download their toolbar on your computer. This toolbar is 100% safe and trust me earning without it can be very difficult! The tool bar notifies you anytime your shopping online of how many Swagbucks per dollar spend you could earn by pressing "activate". You will also want to set Swagbucks as your default search engine. You earn Swagbucks randomly just for searching the internet (which we all do already so why not turn it into money). If you can not find your answer the first time from the Swagbucks search engine simply go straight to Google but not before searching Swagbucks just for your free Swag points. The next best, easiest, way to earn Swagbucks is through Swag Codes issued very often. Swag Codes usually range from 2 points to even 9 or 10 points each. There are often "Super Swag Code Extravaganza" opportunities in which multiple codes are issued together in one day, throughout the day. The best part about it is if you have their toolbar added to your browser it will notify you of a Swag Code then all you need to do from there is enter it on your toolbar. |
Gift Hulk is my second Go-To and they make it supper easy to earn but I also suggest if you do not have the time to devote to Gift Hulk simply log on once a day just to Play the FREE Card Game and slowly rack up your points that way. If you have more time the check out my page of navigating Gift Hulk!
National Consumer Panel
If you have applied before, apply again. If you have signed up try signing your Husband up. I was denied but my hubby was approved. This is a great panel to be part of! The Homescan Consumer Panel is a "mini-U.S.A.", representing millions of Americans. By scanning the bar codes on your purchases and completing fun surveys, you can make your opinions count in the consumer marketplace. Neilsen will send you a scanner to scan your products and in turn you receive valuable gift points that are redeemable for electronics, household items, jewelry, toys and lots more! |
Inbox Dollars
Inbox Dollars is a slower earning rewards site but it adds up and helps to give you that little extra money at Christmas time. The easiest way to earn money from Inbox Dollars is to check your email. They pay you per email you open and can send you about 20 a week. You can earn extra money by signing up for some of the offers but it is not a requirement. They also give you $5 just for signing up and offer a pay per search like Swagbucks, but in my opinion the pay per search on Inbox Dollars falls short so I just stick to simply checking my emails from them. |
