I see post where people are talking about earning points/money online. How is everyone doing this? I would love to do this to help pay for our dining while at WDW.

  • MyPoints
  • PerkTV
  • Swagsbucks
  • Shopkick
  • ClickRewards
(all for Target GCs, which are used for purchasing Disney GCs)

  • eRewards
  • eMiles
  • Rapid Rewards Shopping Portal
(all for SWA RR points for airfare but the eMiles and eRewards have other redemption options)

numerous rewards CCs
(for cash back, statement credits, point-to-miles/points transfers into different loyalty programs, bonus points for signing up or making purchases in select categories)

There are probably a few others that I don't recall off the top of my head and are such slow earners that I rarely pay attention to them.
 
I use eBates, Quick Rewards, Sunshine Rewards & do Secret Shopping. I make the most with Quick Rewards which can be cashed in for Disney gift cards.
 
My 2 biggest are Swagbucks and Perk.

My goal is $3 a day

Wish it was more, but I've just recently gotten to that level, and I am Canadian so the opportunites are much more sparse

For example many people are running perk (using wifi) on 5 cheap phones, purchased for about $20 each - and they are earning about $1 per day per phone ($5 a day!)
A cheap phone in Canada is over $100!!! So I can only use our normal devices when they are not in use for other purposes.

But anything is better than nothing, and if I can stick to $3 a day I will have over $1000 in one year!

Just sent you a PM with a short tutorial of PerkTV & Swagbucks. Good luck on the $ making! Can't believe my wife and I are up over $1000 in a little over 2 months!

I get about $20/month using shopkick. Right now I'm redeeming for target gift cards for dd to use to buy Disney gift cards for a spring break cruise.
 
I am doing PerkTV, running 5 phones I am making around $150 a month in Target gift cards

Swagbucks, my husband and I both have accounts and we get around $150 a month together, which we get the Target gift cards with, to buy Disney gift cards.

Gifthulk is another one I do, I average around $40-$50 a month on this one.

Checkpoints is an app I do on my phone, I get around $20 a month on this, but it takes very little effort at all!.

Mypoints, I have gotten $150 in Landry's gift cards for T-rex and Rainforest Cafe over the last 4 months with this one.



I buy the Disney Gift Cards with the Target gift cards I get from these sites,I get the 5% off by having my Target Redcard Debit card as my default payment.

Then deposit the Disney gift cards into my Disney Vacation Account, to consolidate it all. Plus I will get the $20 bonus for every $1,000 I soend out of the DVA.

I started the last week of May and am up to $1900 in my DVA and $150 for Landry's.

I have shopkick and have tried to use it but I don't seem to get credit for "walk-ins", I keep thinking I have my phone set up incorrectly. Any advice?
 
what is perk tv? is it legit? how can one make money just from watching a video?

It's an app. They run commercial ads between the videos. They get paid by the advertisers and they pay you 4 pts. per video watched. When you reach 5,000 pts., you can redeem for a $5 GC. You can run up to 5 devices at one time. Some people purchase older phones, put the app on the old phones and then run them constantly.

I've been paid regularly by them since I started two weeks ago. And have no problems getting my GCs. However, all of the GCs are electronic. They don't mail anything.

Could you send it to me as well? Please.
 
I use Swagbucks, Quick Rewards, MyPoints, Ebates and Shopkick that were mentioned above.
I also use the following shopping apps:
Ibotta (Gift cards or cash out to paypal at $5)
Checkout 51 (Check sent at $20)
Shopmium (this one pays out on paypal every time you get a reward so you don't have to wait for a set amount)
Berry Cart (This is basically Ibotta for so called healthy foods)
I only buy stuff I planned to buy anyway. The nice thing about these rebates is that you can use coupons on the items and sometimes the same items have rebates across platforms. And Checkout 51 often has rebates for buying produce or any brand of yogurt or bread, sometimes even for buying meat. (Ibotta occasionally has milk or bread)

Every little bit helps, some people are better at this then others. And certainly if you're buying for a family you might make more on the grocery shopping apps then I would (I never buy gallons of milk for example because it won't get finished).

It depends on the store for me. I get most walk ins but can't get macys. No issue with target, Walmart, best buy, Kroger, crate and barrel, or American eagle.

The scans are hit and miss for me. Some days it's just not cooperative or I get five scans and then is starts having issues.

It's frustrating to be honest but I do it for my kids (I give them the gift cards).

Btw I use the app on an iPhone 4.
 
I forgot one - Bing Rewards. You get 1 cent for every 2 searches...and can redeem for Starbucks gift cards for MK & Epcot. It takes awhile to add up but I use Bing over Google anyway so its all good!

Oh, I forgot about Bing!

500 Bing credits can be redeemed for 500 Swagbucks, which translates to a $5 Target GC, which...oh, you get where I'm going with this!

iOS or android?

Swagbucks only has 2 apps for iOS, 6 that work on android. PerkTV works on both.

Shopkick works on either, but seems less "buggy" on androids. Plus, you actually must enter stores, find and scan their products in order to earn points. It also sucks up your battery because you must permit location services to be active for the app. And it will chew up data if you're in a store without Wi-Fi.

Thanks! It is an Iphone I have. So perktv sounds easier maybe? Is this an app or something I can do on the home computer as well

How are you doing so well on My Points

I think I earned all of $20 in a year when I was doing it. Gave up quite some time ago.

I would love to have those kind of results because My Points has gas gift cards
