Hi, was looking through your reports...how do you find time to do it all??? I
enjoyed reading it and I know on the old board you had posted a thread on what people
had "earned" towards their trip for Disney. Can we bring that up here?? I know
some of the newer members would probably enjoy reading it! Things just seem
to be so slow...any inspiration would help!!!! Thanks and enjoy the day!
P.S. Sounds like you had a great time!!!

I have 7 days of WDW to report on and so far all I have done is 3 days of eating and a Resort report.Laziness has set in!!!! LOL I need a rest from my vacation!!!!

OK here goes we spent 7 glorious days at WDW at the Swan with Airfare,tickets, souvies(and we bought alot this time)and hotel we spent only $1000.00 out of pocket! Would have been less but I put all cash earning into a saving account for my DS who will turn 4 on July 6th so far he has right at $1000.00 in his account.

We scimped on nothing at the World ! We bought what we wanted ate where we wanted and just had a wonderful time.Thank you rewards programs.And I do not do alot I limit my programs to 8-10 and I multitask.Do several at one time.

Wow...way to go Mal and dmslush!!!! When I am sludging through Netflip each day, I will come
back and reread this!!! hehehe......It must be a wonderful feeling to be able
to go on vacation and enjoy without having to watch every penny! I wish we
could get the gift certificates for the Rain Forest cafe, Olive Garden etc. but here in
Canada we have to claim different rewards. I have only managed a few dozen
DD before beenz went down the drain....but it is more than I had before;) I will
keep going!!! Thanks for taking the time to post this again!

since we just got back from the World.

Here is what has come in just this week $45.51

SearchCactus $23.76
Mystery Shopper $7.75
Proctor/Gamble $9.00
PineCone $5.00

now since that was all cash as many of you know that goes straight into a savings account for my DS it will never be touch except by him when he reaches 18-21 for college or whatever he think is important to him.(might think about some restrictions on that when the time gets closer! LOL)

that is pretty good since I have only been home a week.

wow...that is amazing Mal...I have been clicking faithfully since the first of April...I have
received 22 DDollars from Beenz and that is it. We don't qualify for alot of the surveys
and test drives here in Canada, so that leaves us out of some of the more "instant"
things. Not complaining though....getting close to rewards on some of the programs
now! Only worry is getting there before they decide to close

Minnie,
There is someone on the boards working on an automatic countdown right now, but mine is "manual" when i log in each morning, I just change the days. Here is the code:


{font size="5"}{font color="#FF0000"}{font face="Comic Sans MS"}{marquee direction="right" align="middle" behavior="alternate"}153 more days to go!!!{/marquee}{/font}{/font}{/font}

Replace all of the {} with <> to get it to work. Since it is manual, you can put any amount of days that you want in it.

I've been sick for the past week and just happened to see this thread now. Thanks Mal :D

I have to say that had it NOT been for Beenz and Freeride, we NEVER would have been able to do it. When I started Beenz, we were encouraged to have as many accounts as we had emails. It was also possible to accumulate THOUSANDS of Beenz a day! Christmas that year was free!

Yes, if the big Beenz and the Magic Bus stuck around, there would be alot more of us having free trips. Here's hoping Freeride comes back in the fall :)

Of course it's much harder now to earn a free trip, but depending on how much time you have before your trip, It CAN be done still. Make sure to do every test drive you can get your hands on. And bank deals are great too! I've made $160 on the ING Direct deal in less than one month!

Don't give up on the slower moving programs. I know many are fed up with SuzyKats, but it's so quick to do each day. The little points really do add up.

Lots of luck to all the Disney clickers :D
