Websites I'd Marry For The Money

If I could marry a website, I definitely wouldn't. If I could marry a website that was easy money, I definitely would!

"Crazy lady, what are you talking about???"

Well, my dear anonymous voice, I'm talking about my favorite websites I use to earn a little extra dough! It's all legal, of course. I've been a member at each for at least a year, and if I had to estimate, I'd say that in one year, I've earned about $150 in gift cards and rewards. That's $150 of extra dinners out, magazine subscriptions, and groceries. Every single site is free, and you can unsubscribe at any time. I wouldn't steer you wrong!

 Here is my list:

1. PollingPoint.com
This is a survey site. Once you sign up you can elect to receive surveys up to every day, or as rarely as once a month. Each completed survey is worth a certain number of points, which can be saved up and then redeemed for prizes such as gift cards, movie tickets, or even cash. These surveys are pretty unique, in that the formatting and type is very user-friendly and it varies enough to keep the surveys from being monotonous. I just earned an Olive Garden/Red Lobster gift card from this site.

2. E-Rewards.com
This survey site has a lot of different rewards, including magazine subscriptions, gift cards, and airline miles. The cool thing about this site is that they provide you with partial credit even if you don't qualify to complete an entire survey. They also have quick surveys that only take 1 minute. You earn "e-rewards cash" which can be traded in for rewards. The email containing the link to the survey also tells you the topic and the estimated time, so that you can choose to accept or decline, depending on how much time you've got.

3. MyPoints.com
This is my favorite. MyPoints gives you 10 points for every survey you start but don't qualify for, and between 50-250 points for every completed survey. They also send you emails with offers from companies. When you "click thru" to the companies' websites, you get 5 points--just for clicking. And you don't have to buy or commit to anything just because you clicked. To be honest, I click through and immediately close the new tab, and I still get points. It's called Bonus Mail. MyPoints also offers Video Rewards, in which you watch an advertisement, enter some information to prove you watched the whole thing, and you get points. Lastly, you can do all your online shopping through MyPoints. They have coupon codes and links to pretty much every retailer's website, and by clicking the link on the MyPoints website, your purchase gives you a certain number of points for every dollar you spend. So not only do you get coupon codes and your online purchase, but you get extra points, just for doing the shopping you were already doing. The points can be traded in for all kinds of gift cards and even donations.

There you have it! These are my favorite websites for earning a little extra. Check them out!
