Time is Money

[kristim]

I posted a similar question on Budget board and was referred to here. I tried a points program @ 3 months ago and I didn't seem to get anywhere point-wise. I have lots of questions, but my main three are:
How much time do you average a day clicking for points?
What are some of the best rewards have you earned?
How long did it take for you to get these rewards?

I just joined Blink today. I was actually just on that web site to use the free bookmark feature.
So I earned @ $8,000 pts. in 30-40 min. (I think I was given some for joining????)


One more question: Is there a FAQ post for beginners?

Any comments/suggestions would be greatly suggested.

Thanks,
Kristi

Here's a link to the How To Thread

I do Milesource, My Points & Disney Awards. At work, it takes me up to an hour depending on how many phone calls & interruptions I get. I have a fast connection so it would take alot less without the distractions. At home it's a different story. It takes me up to an hour on my creaky dial-up connection.

I do the following:
Milesource
MyPoints
StartSampling
Disney Awards
Blink

Just to do the programs each day takes me between 30-40 mins & I use a cable modem. Besides myself, I have my DH & DM *under* me at Milesource, MyPoints & Blink, so I am/have gotten referral points for them.

We have all been doing these programs since late Dec/early Jan & from these programs & other that are now defunct I have earned the following:
$300+ (about 305) Disney Dollars-mostly from WebCertificates
$175 RFC GCs
$45 Red Lobster GCs
$30 Best Buy GC
$60 Home Depot GCs
10-11 magazine subscriptions
4 free movie passes
various sample products & coupons for free items

**please note that the above were gotten only thru clicking on sites, no purchases! Some were from trying out products too or answering surveys**

So, I think this is worth it if you can put the time in. In addition to the list above I won some Disney Dollars from the Disney Awards site where you can click for entries. Sometimes I miss a day here or there as does DH or DM. I am hoping to cash out for another Milesource $50 GC soon. Granted, many of these rewards are from when beenz & etour, freeride & searchcactus were paying much more. I am still sticking it out to see where things head.

HTH!
