Earn money and rewards for things your were already going to buy: My Points and Ebates

One of my favorite things to do on line is to earn free stuff by buying things I was ALREADY going to buy!

EBATES.COM

http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=fkfXYtJDn3ioj%2FGIOnJ13A%3D%3D

Ebates.com is a website that sends you a CHECK (yes that's cold hard cash) at the end of the year. For purchases from participating vendors, like Lands End or Walmart you earn a percentage of the purchase back and it accrues over the year and then they send you a check around February for those purchases. In addition, Ebates.com has some coupons you can use or free shipping offers from it's vendors.

Ebates.com specials:

• Walmart Free Site to Store Shipping on all iPads at Walmart.com! Plus 1.0% Cash Back!
  

• Home Depot coupon is $5 off $50 or more at Home Depot, just used FALLSAVE 31, plus earn 3% cash back!
  

And that's not all, you have to visit the site to see if your favorite shops are there, but most of mine are, and I have earned almost $100 this year alone, again for things I was already going to buy, and I haven't even started shopping for CHRISTMAS!

Don't forget to tell your friends, you get $5 for everyone that signs up and buys something through the site. It's easy money, and if you aren't signed up, you aren't earning money you are LOSING money!

They are running new specials for signing up your friends, 20 friends, get you a new FLIP video camera!!

and that's the lowest level!

MYPOINTS.COM

Again, another site that pays you to shop for things you already were going to buy. Instead of money this is points. With the points you can purchase gift cards. I have accrued enough points to get a $50 gift card to any number of stores, from Amazon.com to Saks.

I like my points because you can download their tool (which can sometimes be a pain if you want to just get to google, but I still use it). This toolbar gives you points for downloading the toolbar and gives you points for all the searches you do per month, up to 100 points. It's easy to keep track of the points too, because every time you get to participating store, a little message pops up to say how many points you might earn per dollar at that site.

This site gives you points for every dollar you spend at participating stores and sites. In addition, if you sign up for services, like Netflix you get points, so it's not just for purchases. Surveys and some games can earn you points.

If you print out coupons, those count too. You have to go through the site to print them, but if you down load the toolbar, all your coupons and purchases are tracked for you.

If you tell your friends, you get a percentage of the points they earn! As well as getting points when they join!
