Planning for Next Trip - Where to Start?

[NotTooGoofy]

I am beginning to plan for my family's next WDW trip for Fall 2003. I wish I could go sooner, but at least I have some time to work out a budget and earn rewards. Anyway, to help fund my last trip, I used rewards from Alladvantage, Pointclick and Freeride. Well you can tell it's been awhile because these programs are pretty much defunct.

I want to start working toward the next trip and my question is, what are the top two or three reward programs for gaining rewards as quick as possible. A couple things to consider:

- I won't be flying to Orlando or using a rental car - just driving down. So mileage programs probably won't pan out.
- Not real keen on programs that require posting to other forums - it's tough enough to keep up with the DIS!!
- Will likely stay on-site so hotel rewards may also not work out.

Any ideas? Thanks!

We aren't going back until november 2004, and our last trip was paid for with beenz and hitch hikers, so I know how you feel LOL!

I am doing disney awards. You do have to post on the forums, but it only takes a few minutes. I have been a member for less than a month, and without counting my purchase credits, I have over 500 points.. 800=$10 disney dollars. I'm figuring about $10 a month.

I do mypoints. All I do is click on max when someone on the board points him out, and click on the emails. I'm getting rainforest giftcertificates for the gift shop.

liftagift and creationsrewards, disney dollars

I'm also doing milesource for rainforest gift certificates.

If my plan works out, we will be able to pay for most of our meals with the disney dollars. And then my daughter gets all of the rainforest certs to use in the gift shop.

I just want to add to what dmslush said about posting at DA.You are only required to post to threads that require a acknowledgement not all forums and not all threads by Dizawardsmom.

so once you have read and acknowledged the ones there already it really is no big deal to keep up to date.

There are not posts everyday that have to be acknowledged.

Although if you want 6 points extra everyday you can post to 5 forums and read DizBiz and get 6 extraq points.

sign up for surveys at mysurvey.com. Their points can be traded for cash. I'm adding up there and they surveys don't take long. You do have to wait for an invitation to the survey, but it's nice because you only go to the site when points are available, no wasting time looking.

Epoll is okay, slow earner, but it's asking for opinions, and is about a once every week or two thing sometimes more sometimes less. I've cashed out once with them for a starbucks card, not sure what all the rewards are.

I'd love to know what liftagift is ~ haven't heard of that one.
