Reward Programs: Do you do them?

[Virgo10]

Or have you done them in the past. I'm talking about programs like MyPoints.

Years ago when these programs were hot, you could really rack up some goodies. Think FreeRide! I spent a year clicking websites like mad and nearly paid for a complete 8 day trip to Disney with what I'd earned.

Now things are much slower but I still do a few, MyPoints, CreationRewards, SearchTimes, MileSource and SearchCactus. These have all paid me in the past so while I Dis in the a.m., I click.

Anyone else out there still enjoy getting their pennies from these sites.

Just to add, MyPoints, IMHO, is the best of the lot.

I agree about MyPoints...I've been a member for six years and have gotten hundreds of dollars in rewards. I also do lots of online surveys and product tests for cash and products. It all adds up and it is fun.

I enter contests online too and have won a few things.

I do mypoints because it is easy to just read emails and occasionally rewardtv because it's fun. If I remember, lol, whenever I make an online purchase, I check to see if mypoints sponsors that merchant. I've gotten the 500 pt bonus for certain purchases which is nice. I actually like the survey sites better than the reward sites since the pay is better. I do surveyspot and mysurvey and there's another one that I cannot remember and it's the best one because every survey pays $5 and I can't believe I've forgotten the name, lol. I get at least $10 every month between those three. Not great but better than nothing.

I paid for a total of three trips to WDW with rewards. Now that they are slow and the rewards not as great I still do them but not with the committment I did in the past. I like the survey companies better now. I have made over $20 in the last week on surveys. Took about 30 minutes. Not alot compared to the hayday of Pointclick and Freeride when I was racking in hundreds a month.

I do MyPoints and Memolink. I just got $30 in Red Lobster GC for our trip next from MyPoints. That will pay for half our meal!! Since Memolink in only giving 2 pts for trivia instead of the old 5, it seems to be taking forever to rack up points with them.

I do mypoints and rewardtv! I used to do milesource, clicktothemagic, quick rewards, creation rewards and millers reward shop. I found that I was getting too much spyware on the sites that you need to click on other sites so I stopped.

I've slowed down considerably in the past year and hardly do any of them anymore. The daily clicking just doesn't seem to be worth it. I was junking up my hard drive with too many driveby downloads from some sites. I still shop thru CR, MyPoints and eBates but that's about it. Right now, I've got about $80 in various rewards coming my way from those sites, so I am still getting something.

So, is that the downside of all this...popups or whatever? I've never done this, so I'm wondering.

I will! Thanks. I have to clean out my PM box, but right now I'm cleaning out my car. DD has her driving test today, and the car (a minivan) is a pit!

I used to live in Attleboro.

I love rewards programs:

I do the following:

Mypoints;
Creations Rewards;
Shoppers Hotline (scanning my purchases at home);
a survey site;
I'm also a secret shopper and put whatever I make into my vacation fund.

I order a lot from Office Depot for my place of employment and not only do I get points from mypoints, I have a Office Depot Advantage card which gives me a $50.00 gift card each quarter.

 

[2BOYMOM]

I do Mypoints. I had $100 in Rainforest Cafe gift cards for our Disney trip two weeks ago. I do miss Freeride - that one was great!

Just mypoints

 

[CajunDixie]

I do Memolink(I have received all my prizes now), MyPoints, CR, and RewardTV(occasionally). Since I started working again I don't do them daily but I do make sure I shop through them when I can and click on emails.
