2?s Buzzback surveys & cashing out MyPoints/Milesource

[iNTeNSeBLue98]

Hey fellow DIS RPers!
I have a couple of questions.

1. I got an email today to take a survey at Buzz Back. Who has experience with them, and do they really pay you for completing surveys; are they worth my time?

I've been signed up for GOZING, but rarely is there a survey up, and if there is I'm either ineligible or they're not accepting anyone else.

2. How often do you cash in MyPoints or Milesource? I could cash in for $10 giftcards at MyPoints, but would like to wait for $25 ones. No big deal, but I wonder wonder the popular method of cashing in those points is here on DIS.
On Milesource, I could cash in for a $5 certificate to McDonalds, etc. or a $3 book, but again would like to save for something more. Can you only accumulate the points you need for bigger prizes, or can you cash out multiple times and combine the Award Miles?

If you have any other tips or advice, please share or direct me to them. Thanks!

I don't know about buzzback....
When I do cash out at mypoints, I normally cash out for $25 at a time because it's a better value....

Hi! Here are my experiences

#1 I am signed up with Buzzback and despite checking and re-checking that my email addy is correct with them I have never once rec'd a survey invite. So, I'm no help there.

I got my very first GoZing invite today and wouldn't you know it, it was already full. Hmmm, what's up with that?

#2 I love MyPoints! I have cashed out once for a $25.00 WebCertificate and got it sooner than they said I would. I'm nearly at the $25.00 level again. I have never ever had a problem with them at all.

MileSource I cashed out at the $25.00 GiveAnything Certificate level. Of course it took several emails to get cashed out. MileSource shows me as cashed out now but GiveAnything has yet to inform where my certificate is being held captive at.

I wouldn't be worried about going for the higher levels at MyPoints. Of course now I probably jinxed them.

Same here--I wait until I hit the $25 webbie level until I cash out. I have enough for one $25 right now, but I'm waiting until I get enough for two which will be closer to our trip. Since I do my moms email clicks for her account, I get her points, too, and she almost has enough for a $25 one. Then I'll load up my plastic card and head South!
