What are currently the best programs?

[wdwguide]

Hi, fellow DIS'ers!

I have been out of the loop what Reward Programs are concerned for the past couple of months, and would like to check if my recommendations are still accurate. I recommend reward programs based on the following factors:

- They have to be free to join
- They have to allow users to earn points for free (shopping not necessary)
- Guaranteed payouts (i.e. no points for sweepstakes entries)
- They have to pay out in WebCertificates, PayPal, cheque, and/or gift certificates usable for restaurants or hotels in the WDW vicinity.
- Reasonable turnaround time (i.e. clicking for 6 months just to earn $5 would be unacceptable)

My current list includes Epinions (my favorite, if not a classic reward program), MyPoints, Milesource, Blink, Creationrewards, and Searchcactus.

Are these programs above still worth doing, and are there are new, reliable programs with verified payouts that are comparable in quality (or better)?

Thank you for your help!

Lost a few of my notes but Milesource you can earn a $25 Supercertificate in 159 days with an average daily click of 22 miles (if you have referrals it will be less days). Last time I cashed out was in August and I had no problems with them. MyPoints, DH and I both cashed out in August and we both already have enough points for $5 from Applebees but we're letting it build for now. I've cashed out several times with MyPoints and only once they were really sloooooooow but I did receive it within a couple of days of their site saying it was shipped. I give both of those 2 thumbs up.

memolink.com has been very good lately. They even improved the time it takes to complete a redemption.

Check out www.itpaystolearn.com.

Get points for answering quizzes. There's tons of subjects to pick from (spelling, famous words, famous place, math, geography etc.) and three levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced).

At the end of the month, the cash points are converted into cash so you don't know the value of each point until then. Min cash out is $20. The program started last year but the cash-paying quizzes started towards the end of July 2001. I have cashed out once already and I don't have any active referrals. Pays by Paypal.

Min age to join is 13 and so your older children can join too. And it's educational also.

By the way, what's your epinions id? Would love to read some of your stuff (mine is dreamlab) . I started a mailing list for Dis rewards board members but there hasn't been any activity - I am going to try posting again and may be get more people and start sending posts to the list too again now that I am trying to get back into epinions!
