Earning credits on SR

[mcgrawfan]

How does everyone rack up the points so quick on SR. Do you usually do the offers and then cancel them? Most of these cost some money. Do you pay just to earn points?

I am up to 16.00 ish I just joined in Oct. I shop online quite a bit, so Ive gotten some of that from shopping through them. And the rest ive just done by doing paid clicks. I did just get an email from them yesterday to sign up for a free trial of blockbuster and get a 20.00 gc to Amamzon or old navy or Omaha Steaks. I sure did sign up for that one lol and Ive got in on my calender for when i have to cancel it so i wont be charged. I havent signed up for any of the offers cuz im not into just paying for points BUT if I would have caught that physic one, folks got 9 credits and only had to put out about 1.80 I would have JUMPED on that one lol. Im just to lazy to read all the fine print, but im sure there are a few that you dont have to pay for, i got one for .50 credits recently.

I will do trials that cost $1 or less if they pay at least 3 times that. Shopping, paid clicks and paid signups are a great way to earn. There are plenty of paid offers that do not require any money!

I will do the $1 trials, free trials you have to cancel, or even some offers like Scholastic where even if you keep the merchandise and just cancel the subscription, the credits even out or are more than you paid and you get free stuff! I did psychics and netted $7, the time life CD cost 5.50 but I got 6 credits and a free CD, scholastic build-a-bear cost $9, it paid $9 or $10 and I have a cute gift for DD. I've also done netflix, blockbuster, and some of those where the trial paid more than it cost and I actually got some "free" movies to watch. Just depends... I am in a place now where I am a little bit braver so I can maintain my supermember status because I like the benefits

This is me too. I usually stick with the $1 trials, but if the offer comes with something I will actually enjoy or use, I do it....like the Scholastic books for my kids (But cancel the subscription) or I recently did the scrapbook books for myself.

I got to super member status for the quarter that will be ending soon; I hope to maintain it next quarter too. I need another $250 for my Disney World fund and I would LOVE to earn it with Sunshine!

I started out just doing the paid clicks and easy offers that pay out like 50 cents or so, but finally got brave. Like the others have said, I usually only do the free or $1 trials or ones where the payout is significantly larger than what it costs. Sometimes I will even do the ones that actually have something I want (like the scrapbook one). The main thing is that I keep DETAILED records of every offer, when I signed up, what the number of credits should be (don't cancel until you get credit if at all possible) when it needs to be canceled, the phone number or email address to cancel, any membership numbers, etc. etc. etc.. I sure don't want to get stuck with some "great deal" that will end up costing me $98 next month!! I often print out the first page of the sign-up offer, then highlight and print the important parts of the "terms and conditions" page of the offer. Make sure you have all the info mentioned above before you close the window after signing up. Also, SAVE any and all emails you get from the company for a good long while. Yes, it's kind of a pain and a fair amount of work and even a little bit of risk, but I've already racked up well over $150 for my Disney trip next April. I may have paid out as much as $20 to get there, but I'm not 100% sure.
Try one or two at a time until you get a system down.
One more thing--canceling some of these offers can be a great excersize for you "assertiveness training"! Just repeat after me, "no thank you, I want to cancel today...no thank you I want to cancel today...."
