Just curious...what are your goals?

[Schachteles]

Yes I know but I'm already 30% there so I think it can be done. I have only been saving since early February since our last trip was in January. It's going to be close though I'm sure.

Oh I am sure you can do it...I know I would LOVE to be able to do that too...every penny saved on the trip means more trips!! And who doesn't want that.

Veterans-how often are new things added? I just am looking and I have signed up for most of them that make sense financially...and I just worry that I won't find more to keep it up. Thoughts?

Wow!!! How do you guys get sooo much? Does everybody do alot of on-line shopping? I can't imagine earning $2000. I've been doing this for a while now and I've made maybe $80. What reward sites are you signed up for?
Good luck to everybody and there big goals.

It takes time and record keeping. But I do the things that you sign up for and then cancel. You might pay $5.95 and then make $13. But that is how I have racked it up.

I used to feel good if I could get $50 for dinner one night at disney... This board has opened my eyes to the possibilities. We aren't going until December, but I'm very cautious. I have a small prepaid card, so can only do a few offers that cost... and I don't shop much online... so I'm counting on all the free offers. I'm shooting for Super Member at SR this quarter, and keeping my eyes out for good deals on cashouts.

My goal is to pay for the cabins (we love staying at the cabins... love having our own kitchen), all our food, tickets, and hopefully a nice extra for my girls (horse riding maybe)

Thanks for giving me the courage to try for more offers,
Faithhope

We aren't going back until next June.

So, I've got some time. I would like to get $1000.00 in Disney GC, $75.00 in Cracker Barrel GC (for the road trip), $200.00 in Fuel GC (maybe more as I watch the gas rates ) and I wouldn't mind having gc for the hotel stays on the way down and back.

So far, I have: $205.00 in DIsney GC, $25.00 in Cracker Barrel GC and $25.00 in Fuel Cards.

I also have 2 $25.00 Rainforest Cafe gcs but we will pribably use them this summer. And, I might use some of the fuel cards for our trip to the Dells.

I'va also cashed out for $140.00 in cash at fusioncash and will be cashing out for another $81.00 this month.

I just decided we are going on a 7-day Eastern in January of 2009. My goal is to have $1600 between SR and my Disney Visa to pay for our entire on-board account, and not have to scrimp. I want to do excursions at each port, cover tips, drinks of the day, maybe a spa treatment, and a couple hundred bucks for spending money.

I just mapped out a savings strategy for the cruise itself and cash items ($80 a paycheck plus birthday $, ebay proceeds, rebates, etc.). And put down on paper how much I would earn though Visa and SR each month/quarter. I also plan to earn hotel certificates for a pre-night at Residence Inn (Marriott gift cards) through MyPoints.

Great thread... I'm looking forward to everyone else's goals!

Well... DH just told me that he'd MUCH rather get a verandah than the inside category 11 I had planned my savings strategy around for our January of 2009 Disney cruise, so I've adjusted goals a bit. Counting the cruise (based on '08 pricing), projected air and other expenses, and onboard account I need $8659 before it's all said and done in the next 20 months or so. $4500 will come from savings out of each paycheck and a little overtime; $500 will come from rebates, gifts, and $ "found"; I should be able to earn $2200 from surveys and rewards (including Disney visa rewards dollars); and $1700 will come from ebay profits and my Arbonne sales. Whew! I don't dare miss a daily survey or another good rewards opportunity!

My goal between now and December of this year is to earn another $400 on Sunshine Rewards. That will give me enough to buy either my DL park tix for DH and I + a couple meals, or all our meals for our trip in January.

And then between next January and May, I want to earn $500 for a June 2008 trip for my kids and I (DH sitting this one out) to WDW. I want to earn enough for most of our meals for the week, which would be about $500. Any extra money I earn this year over the $400 mark will go for my 2008 trip. I've already earned $91 this month, so I don't think it will be hard.

With mypoints, I usually just do enough to earn sporatic Bath and Body Works gift cards, or sometimes Target. Just fun money now and then, but I don't do it hardcore like SR.
