Sunshine Rewards Question

[gracie1]

I notice a lot of people on here do the sunshine rewards. I've looked at their website and just wanted a little feedback from you guys on how it works!
Do they just send me periodic emails, etc to earn points or do I log on there and choose things? What exactly do you do to earn points? Is it read emails, etc?
Thanks for any input!

I mainly make my $ with them thru the shopping links. Before I shop at Disney.com I click thru Sunshine first. There are paid sign up offers you can do also, like Gevallia coffee, etc.

There are emails, but they are for very few points. I make most of my SR points through opinion surveys -- there are three available each day. I also shop through SR and do a few paid sign-ups. Shopping is really easy. You go to SR first, click the merchant you want, and that takes you to the merchant's regular website. From there, it's just like you never went to SR.

I do the surveys!

In fact, this month I have already made almost $18 in surveys alone. As a PP mentioned, there are three different surveys that you can attempt each day. If you can successfully complete all three, you can earn $2.40 per day. I've made over $60 so far this year and less than $10 of that is from purchases.

There is also a forum over there (similar to this one!) where you can learn how to really rack up some earnings. They frequently run different constests to earn some extra money too.

The rewards are either paid out in cash (to a PayPal account) or you can redeem for gift cards. If you choose the cash payout, you have to have at least $20 to do so.

I've been a member for over a year, but it wasn't until last November that I saw my earnings start to soar. I really got hooked on the surveys and now I make it a priority to complete at least one every day. My goal is to earn at least $25 each month by doing surveys. That way, I can accumulate $300 a year towards my Disney fund.

Can just do surveys, or do you also have to make purchases at some point?

I guess what I am asking is, do you ever have to put out money to earn rewards?

you don't have to put out money to earn rewards. You can simply do the surveys, or the freebie offers. If you do online shopping, it helps build your account. But, you don't have to. Great site, I love it!

Also....singnring...have to ask, noticed you are from NW Ohio and have a large family....you aren't a member of the Wauseon Dominiques are you?

I'm pretty new to Sunshine Rewards (less than a month). I noticed that in the profile they want a PayPal account which I don't have. When I finally get to $20 can you just cash in for a gift card and skip Pay Pal?

Thanks

I earn money via the Paid clicks, the daily surveys, and the shopping. Last year I used my earning to buy all the Christmas presents for my boys.

I cashed in $50 for a Disney gift card in September, so the answer is yes. There should be several different types of gift cards you can select from the Rewards tab on the homepage.

I love Sunshine Rewards!

I also definitely do the Disney Gift Cards. I know I can do paypal, however, that money would just get absorbed into daily living. This way I have those gift cards tucked in the bank box & they are waiting for Disney!!!

I'm pretty new too, but I do know you can cash out for a disney gc for 25.00. I was going to cash out at 25.00 then went for 50.00 now I am on a roll toward 100.00. It is addicting! It's free money, so why not? Folks there are usually very helpful and quick to answer newbie questions!

I have earned most of my rewards through purchases. I never seem to qualify for the surveys & I got frustrated wasting my time answering a bunch of questions just to be told I dont qualify.

I have been a memer of SR since 2006 and have earned over $1000. There are a lot of ways to earn, and it's free money. I do shop, but for things that I would buy anyway. There are offers that you can do to try products and again , I don't get anything that I don't really want or will not use. The surveys can really add up if you do them all of the time. Check it out, it's free to join, and even if you only earn a few dollars, it's fun and free.

Here's a tip to get you started...if you print digital photos a lot of the merchants offer a few dollars for your 1st time trying them, so go print your photos from different sites and you will get a nice start to your account.

Good Luck!!

I had that problem too, but lately I've been getting to do some! Yesterday I got 2, but so far only one has posted, so hope it shows up. Yes..I do the daily stuff..scratch off, click..then the surveys, and whenever I do shop, I go through them first, but only when it's a good deal. Example..I'm making a scrapbook for my almost 1 year old DGD as a gift to her mom. I got an email that Jo-Ann had a big scrapbooking sale. PLUS free shipping so I jumped on that, spent 23.00 for 40.00 of stuff, got free shipping and will also get 4% back. I sometimes book hotels through them, but sometimes use hotels.com direct to get the stay 10 get 1 free. It all depends on what gives the best bang for the buck. I have a 100.00 Disney gift card waiting for our trip and I have 22.00 towards another one. I also do My Points.

I started doing SR Oct. 09 and have earned $50 in Disney GC and am almost to another $25. For the longest time I couldn't qualify for surveys but finally I've started qualifying for them each day. I usually always do the daily clicks, if is one, the scratch off and try the surveys.

 

[AmongMadPeople]

Most of my earnings on SR come from surveys. I do little online shopping, but when I can I earn cash back through SR.

You can also get 1% back on your Disney vacations if you book through their affiliated travel agent. I can't do this since I'm DVC, but they also offer cash back on tickets. I love earning money for doing things I was going to do anyway

 

[mrsklamc]

I wish wish wish I could make SR be worth the time investment for me! Oh well...I do get a bit of shopping done here and there and those bits add up.
