SR - Disney Redemption Question

[Aneille]

I would like to cash out about $30 at Sunshine Rewards. I would like either a WDW gift card or Disney Dollars. I really don't care which, I just want the one that will get here the quickest.

How long has it taken others to get their GC or Dollars?

Thanks!

i got the disney dollars within a week. I was amazed how fast it was. And you got to love almost free money.

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!

I AGREE I don't like doing any trials as I don't want to get stuck paying for something I don't want. Mine was also all shopping or clicking. And an occasional survey. It's great. I am hoping to have 40-60 by the time we go in January to surprise my husband with.

That is so cool that you got that much from just shopping and clicking!

I actually did some that I had to sign up for but they all came with a "free online trial". I don't like things shipped to me that I have to ship back. I will probably forget.

I signed up for RealPlayer Superpass one recently but I haven't been credited yet.

I might try the traveler's advantage one. It seems easy enough.

That is great that you have $42. I would love to be there. I only have $2.19 (been using it for 2wks). At that rate I’m going I’ll never make to $42. I guess I’m missing something. What in the world are you guys doing? I see the offers/survey but don’t you have to give your phone number and don’t they call you? I don’t want to use my credit card for anything. Please someone help this poor $2.19 lady out.

I think you really need to fulfill some of the offers if you want to see it add up quick. I have given out my telephone number and so far I haven't gotten any calls. I've been doing this for maybe 2.5 or 3 months. I have given out my CC information as well but for trials that I did really want to try. I am comfortable with online transactions so giving out my CC to companies I am familar with isn't a big deal for me.

I did RealPlayers Superpass, Triple Advantage from Experian, and GameFly. I almost signed up for the Disney Movie Club but a better offer came in the mail for me so I did that instead.

I did all the offers that were just surveys or newletter sign-ups.

I hope this helps you out some.

Don't feel bad, I have been doing SR as long time and have just over 15 dollars. I got the 2 dollar sign up bonus and managed to get one paid referal, but the rest is from daily clicks, paid emails and sunshine scratch offs. I am not one to do the offer and then cancel, I don't think it's fair to the merchants and honestly, there isn't anything I have seen that I would want to do anyway. Just keep at it, eventually you will see things add up!

Make sure you try the Daily Opinion Surveys under Earn Daily. There was a week where almost every day I was able to do a survey. Those .50 cents add up quickly. With those you don't really give any personal information out. Also I shop online so I make sure to go through SR first. I do go through all the Offers/Contests and only do the ones that ask for email addresses only. There are very few of those and you only get 10-50 cents but those add up as well. I don't really feel right about canceling something just is I can get points. I don't have any problem with others doing it though. The companies have to know that will happen. GOOD LUCK, even if you earn slowly it is free money.

Have you checked out the shopping pages? I did some of my trip shopping and then Christmas shopping and some of those payouts can be pretty high. It was all stuff I would have purchased anyway so getting the extra money from Sunshine was a great bonus!

Thank you for all of you suggestions. I guess I need to get on board and rack up some points.

That was the way it was with me when I first joined in late 2006. I did not even get busy with SR until mid 2007. I have since earned over $700 and only a portion of that is from shopping. Most is from daily surveys and offers ( they do not pay you for offers if you sign up and cancel right away) They do pay between $.20 and $2.00 for all kinds of offers where you provide information. I am amazed at how fast it adds up. We even have a member who has earned over $3000. It is a nice, honest and helpful community. I hope you will try to do more than just the scratch offs and paid clicks and you will see your money grow, make some friends and maybe have some fun in the process!! Good Luck

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!!

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!

Are you trying the offers? I mean the ones that pay anywhere from .20 to a couple of dollars?? These really aren't too bad. The best advice is to get a second email account so that your main email does not get bogged down with offers. As for getting phone calls that only happened to me when I signed up for insurance information and YEEE GODS I must have gotten 50 calls but eventually they all stopped. I have never gotten calls for anything else. I also tend to use a shortened version of my name when I do these offers then when mail comes in that name I know it was generated from a free offer. The only other advice I can give you is try not to do too many in a day because if you end up doing offers by the same sponsors only one will credit. I still have a hard time with the ones that require me to click on confirmation emails. I always manage to get the first email but often miss the second. I have gotten better by cleaning up my email before signing up for free offers. You do not have to do the paid offers with shipping and handling. I have made over $750 and that is mostly with daily surveys (yes they can somtimes be a pain but who they add up quickly) free offers, and a little shopping. ALSO check the FAST credit discussion in the forum it is always good for a few quick bucks. I hope that helps and that you will soon be earning more rewards!!!
