Just a heads-up, if you get the e-mail about "rebate processing," there is a catch. You have to get people to buy the product first, then you get paid to process their rebate.

I have done surveys thru pincone reasearch. you get 5 dollars a survey, but you only usually get offered one every month or 2. So, no longer than it takes to do their surveys it is worth the 5 bucks, but don't plan on making too much from it.

It can take alot of time and be overwhelming. Most of the time you don't even qualify for the studies so you are constantly searching for surveys ect. to qualify for. I say it isn't worth it unless you can commit to it full time. Goodluck maybe someone else has had a better experience. Mypoints is the only one I do on a regular basis and I have their Credit card that I use and earn points for using that as well.

Hi L.,

I do MyPoints, you just open and close emails and sometimes they send you surveys, I already earned 2 $25 gift certificates to Old Navy (by my choice) you can choos emany others. It is easy and don't ask for any of your personal numbers.
I can invite you and they will give me some extra points if you'd like to try it, they also give you points for inviting people.
It is kind of fun,

I signed up at bzzagent.com. I get free products in the mail and what they ask in return is that you talk about the products with your friends and hand out the coupons that they send you. I have never been asked to pay for anything. If you accept all their free stuff they'll send you an email only every once in a while, but they set up a system that if you send in a report (usually about two paragraphs is fine) then you earn pts and will be asked to join more campaigns which gets you more free things. They are going on the premise that word of mouth is better than some other forms of advertising so they take the risk that you'll actually give out the coupons and talk about the product (rather than keep everything for yourself). They don't ask that you hype it if you didn't like it. So far I have received a free SoniCare toothbrush, free coupons for Chili's cheeseburgers, free cleaning products and so on. I think it is a pretty win-win system they have going.

Hi there. My husband does surveys through surveyspot. Right now he has $104 in his account.....and he cashed a lot more than that out when we bought a new computer last year. His trick is that he just tries to 'qualify' for the survey, then he doesn't pay any attention to the questions....he just punches away. That way it doesn't take him very long to do a survey. For some reason I haven't catched on to the way he does it because I still like to read the questions....needless to say I only have $30. Surveyspot will also send none-paying surveys...and he won't do those. He also does surveys through opinionoutpost.com. I think he has $80 through them. They give points for surveys and each point is a dollar. Hope this helps. My husband has found some creative ways to make money when we went to one income. :)

I'm on several panels. The one I like best is Lightspeed because you earn points and you can redeem them for various gifts. I regularly trade mine in for Amazon.com gift certificates. E-rewards lets you accumulate $ in an account, but many of the rewards are discounts such as $20 off if you spend $200 or frequent flier miles. The $15 on your Border's Rewards card can only be used once a year. The NPDor.com panel lets you accumulate points and put them towards prize drawings, but that generally means you don't win anything. The Zogby surveys don't offer any prizes but you do get to express your opinions on politics and other subjects which I like.
