Definitely check out the daily surveys section.
You can do one Greenfield at .80 and one OTX at .75 daily...so $1.55 per day if you can qualify for the surveys. I think the key to that is to keep trying, as they add new surveys all day long. Even if you get the screen "Sorry, come back blah blah nothing for you", you can check back later in the day and there may be options. Also, sometimes checking the "None of the above" gives you some random survey that didn't fit into the qualifier checkboxes.
On the Greenfield / .80 surveys you have to use the same email and personal info all the time. They are very strict on that point, but you can keep trying as long as you use the same info you first start with, every day, every try.
Tricia usually runs a contest of sorts with the daily surveys, so that is a nice bonus too. This month is a smaller bonus if you get 10 or a larger bonus for 25 surveys. I'm at 20 so far so keeping fingers crossed they keep loading new surveys!

I do admit, I homeschool and work at home, so I have plenty of opportunity during the day to check back.
Do check out the SR forums / stickies...lots of great ideas as how to get started. Once you have an idea on doing the freebies, check out the section Offers/Contests....Fast Crediting. This section is where offers are listed that have been crediting well for members, and usually credit in an hour or so.
Good luck!!
Wow a week! My trip isn't until the first week of December, I can keep adding it up!
It is really cool. I haven't been doing it as much lately though. But it is still nice. I have 42.00 in there and mine was all free. I did not sign up for one thing that cost me anything.
I am thinking of branching out and actually doing some of the ones where you only pay S/H but I am nervous!
Thanks!
The general guideline is 3-4 weeks to get your GC or DD, although usually faster you never know with the USPS or other uncontrolable variables. So to be safe w/ the Thanksgiving Holiday in Nov., I'd redeem sometime the last week of October. That gives you plenty of time to rack em up!
