Help! I am discouraged with the whole darn thing...

[jenfur]

I used to do beenz and freeride and mypoints everyday . After just a few months I was able to get enough points and rewards so that I got two children's parkhoppers and a free meal at the RainForest Cafe for 5 . Now , I want to start up again ,but the way it all seems to be going down hill , all the programs closing and points adding up so slowly , I just can't get motivated to even start back up . For those of you who do it everyday , what keeps you going ? I need a little "even $10 at WDW will get you something - who cares if takes you 3 months" pep talk I guess.

I it is hard not to get too discouraged with all the changes in the programs! Here's some ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~PIXIE DUST~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ to help get you motivated.

Lately, since the weather is so nice & my time is limited, I have only been doing Blink, MileSource & MyPoints, plus Disney Rewards for contest entries & StartSampling for the points. They take me very little time right now & I feel like I am at least doing something. Maybe I will do more in the later fall, but right now this is doing ok.


HTH!

It is discouraging, but I figure if I only make $1 a day, in a year, that will be $365 for our trip that I wouldn't have had otherwise. It also helps that we have 4 people here doing the programs. If each of us make a $1 a day, that will be over $1400 in a year. I really try not to look at the little amounts, I try to look at the big picture, over time. That seems to help.

It takes me about 1 1/2 hours a day and my Dh about 1/2 hour - 45 minute and although it never seems to be for a lot of points....when I add it all up it isn't so bad. I have over 300.00 DD's, 50.00 in RFC gc's, about $250.00 in cash and wc's not to mention about $150.00 in other gc's (not Disney related). I always read the DIS and do other surfing whikle doing my programs so it is time I would be spending at my computer anyways.
