So as usual I have been busy doing surveys today! I plan to possibly cash out this coming Friday or Monday. Gonna be a big payday!
Today I got a product to test in the mail. Of course I can not say what. I will be getting $10 for this however.
Also in the mail, I got my daughter's ICarly lunchbox! All wrapped up and ready for Christmas. She is already asking to open a present...ALREADY!
I did 4 surveys on Survey Spot. Well I actually did about 15 but finished 4. That is equal to 200 points. I now have $12.00 that I can cash out with on this site. By Friday or Monday, I might have close to $20!
Another busy site I used today was Opinion Square. I did 2 surveys, getting 400 points. I also had a token which I used in the slots game, getting 25 more points. 2101. I am saving this until I get 3000 to cash in for $10 Amazon.
Other random sites:
MyPoints : 5 points for email click thru
Quiz Points : 30 points
MySurvey : 2 surveys, 50 points for 1 and 5 points for 1 I was out of.
SwagBucks : 1 point for doing a poll
So what I am waiting for is $10 WalMart card and $20 Amazon. I plan to save the Amazons until I cash in the other ones and am going to buy my husband a couple Chuck Norris shirts or maybe a hoodie! Or more for my daughter!
Once again, a repeat of a tip before. If you get booted from a survey and it says "Do you want to keep going?" or something along the lines of keep going...ALWAYS keep going. Keep going until they say there are no more surveys. And then wait an hour or two....and try again.
A new tip: If you are not getting survey messages sent to your email, go to the site itself and see if there are surveys there for you to do. That is how I got a couple of my surveys done today! Just keep at it!
Also if you enjoy my blog, please add me. Follow me. I want to know I am not just rambling off to no one!

More Money Coming!
So today I received the game I ordered for my daughter. Got that all wrapped up. Also got a pair of jeans from Listia for my daughter that I plan to use as a Christmas gift, as well as a Bobby Jack T shirt from the same place. Both were free, no shipping charges.
Yesterday I cashed in $20 worth of Amazon codes through Swag Bucks. This is basically a search engine that you occasionally get points for. If you make it your main search engine, you can easily rack up! Just takes a little time. **Cashed in $20 Amazon on October 3,2011**
I also did a survey through E Research, which seems to be global. I got $3, which I will get directly to Paypal after the survey ends sometime in November. A bit inconvenient but oh well! Money is money right?
I have also done quite a few surveys today. I could cash out on several sites but am going to wait until I bump up to cash out and get a little bit more. I know I only need a few points to go from $15 to $20.
Swag Bucks : 1 points for taking a poll and 10 points for a random search
My Points : 5 points for an email click thru...some days you get 5 and some days you get 1
Survey Spot : 150 points, 3 surveys worth 50 each. This brings me to 1000 which I COULD cash out for $10 but I want to wait until 1500 points or so.
Zoom Panel : 5 points for a survey I was disqualified out of
Opinion Outpost : 10 points (equal to $1.00) I also saw I could cash out on this at 50 points for Amazon but am going to wait a bit.
My Survey : 50 points for a survey, 5 points for being disqualified out of one
Epoll : 1000 points ( I can cash this in now for $10 or wait and get another 1000 and get $15)
Now I know some people have been reading this and are getting annoyed and upset because they do one survey and get disqualified. You can not expect to qualify for every single survey. You can not expect to sign up for 1 site and make the same kinds of money I make. It takes time. It takes effort, more than 1 or 2 surveys. I take surveys that you may not qualify for but you might take some I would not qualify for, one for smokers, people who drink or have pets. I would not qualify for any of those. Don't get disheartened so fast!
Another thing I should have pointed out earlier. I am from the USA. Alot of these sites I post about are based in the USA and looking for US people. I do know there are alot of UK, Australia based sites but I am just not 100% sure of them.
Another PS...I mentioned Opinion Square yesterday. Some people have problems with it. I have used it for years and never had any problems. So use at your own risk!
Will be cashing in soon,

Been So Busy!
82 days until Christmas y'all! Get busy! That is 11.5 weeks until Christmas!
I have been busy today, gotten tons of surveys done! First I will post what survey amounts I got today and what I got in the mail, as well as more sites!
MyPoints: 5 points for an email click thru
Opinion Outpost: 10 points for survey
Epoll : 500 points for survey
Zoompanel: 10 points (5 points for 2 surveys where I didn't qualify)
Quizpoints : 30 points for a survey
SurveySpot : 100 points (50 points for each survey)
Opinion Square : 225 points (200 for a survey, 25 for a slot game)
I also received a $5.00 check in the mail for doing a survey or something but I am not sure which one. So I am going to cash that, have it deposited and spend that out of the bank account because it is STILL survey money, even if it is in the bank account! I will not go over $5.00 when I spend it!
And now you look and realize, hey that last one there, Opinion Square , is new! Tell me about that one! Now this one, alot of time, I basically ignored the emails and just deleted them. No idea why! This is a great site! Each survey is 200 points. And if you do not qualify, they give you a token for a game. On this game, you can make 25 or 50 points so you never REALLY lose out! I recently got $10 Amazon through them, my first cash out actually! 1500 points gets you $5 Amazon. I have glanced though the catalog and they do have alot of nice items! It usually takes about a week to receive your Amazon codes, not sure about the items.
And the next site I want to talk about is Listia . This is not a survey site but it is a great site to get free things to use as Christmas gifts! The basic idea is you list items you want to get rid of; old books, DVDs, clothes. And people bid points of these items. The "seller" receives the points and can spend on them on items that other people offer. Alot of times, people offer items totally free, no shipping and handling, 100% free. Sometimes, people offer items with a small handling charge, a couple dollars to cover shipping because having multiple auctions CAN get expensive. But to buy all your kids back to school clothing and spending less than $20? YES PLEASE!
Some of the things I have bought:
Mudd Sie 12 jeans- FREE
3 TShirts-Snoopy, Self Esteem, Freedom -$4 Shipping
Green shorts- FREE
2 cute shirts-FREE
Hannah Montana shirt- FREE
Pretty yellow shirt-FREE
Lot of 7shirts-$4 Shipping
Paul Frank shirt- FREE
Happy Bunny shirt-$3 Shipping
Plus about 60 other items! So definitely check it out!
I got 3 presents in the mail today! 1 shirt for my daughter from Listia , free shipping and 2 things for my husband!
So get out there and get busy! You CAN have a survey savvy Christmas!

Easy Sunday!
Happy weekend to everyone or anyone who reads this!
A new tip for you! When you do a survey and get disqualified, sometimes they will offer you another survey to do! ALWAYS do these. You will eventually qualify and make some money!
Also...if a survey rewards with you with a sweepstakes entry, don't do it. It is a waste of your time and effort and you will most likely not win. Wouldn't you much rather do a survey and get actual money added to your account or get a "raffle ticket" basically? I don't buy raffle tickets in real life so why do them online? We have a mission here, to buy Christmas gifts and a CHANCE at a prize won't get those gifts!
I joined 2 new sites today!
The first one, http://www.valuedopinions.com/ . They start out by giving you $1 when you join and filling out your basic profile. I also got another survey, worth $1. The points go into "pending" but are already out and working towards my goal. Cash out is $20 but if they send out surveys quickly, I will hit that $20 pretty fast! I think they pay through Amazon gift codes. You get it that day through email! So my total with them after about 1 day is already $2.
The next one I joined is called https://www.mturk.com/. This is basically a tasks type of site. I have never done this one before so I am giving it a shot to see if it is worth it. what I think it is where businesses have info like addresses, descriptions, phone numbers online of their businesses and people ( the workers through this site) go to the business sites and input the information to let the businesses know it is all correct! It pays 5 cents a task, sometimes more, sometimes less. I just joined today and did 4 tasks, at 5 cents each. The money sites in pending so I will how that goes and let you know if it is legit! It is through Amazon and I am pretty sure they just add the payment straight to your Amazon. *shrugs* I hope it IS legit because it is pretty easy!
I also got 30 points on a site called http://www.quizpoints.com/ . I do like this site because it sends you a daily newsletter, kinda reminding you to visit the site. They do not send you survey links but they have them at the site itself. Each survey is 30 points. If you do (and complete) 15 surveys in a month, you get a 250 point bonus! They also have offers you do to get points but I have not done any of those yet! On this site, I have 117 points but then again, I just joined within the last week. Rewards are varied...A $10 Wal Mart card is 500 points. a $25 card is 1200 points and $50 is 2300 points. They do not have Amazon. :( They do offer alot of other gift cards; Barnes and Noble, Best Buy, subway, Olive Garden, etc. I figure if you do even 3 or 4 surveys a day, you can cash in for a $50 card within a month!
I am also happy to report the lunchbox I ordered for my daughter has been shipped! Whooooo!
Have fun!

Evening Folks!
How is everyone tonight? Have you been signing into surveys and getting all signed up? I sure hope so! The sooner you start, the sooner you can cash out and get to shopping! When you do, make sure you leave comments about what you bought! we can be a bunch of gossipy girls, chatting about our shopping purchases over a cup of tea and cookies...only the nice thing is, we didn't really spend ANY money!
So that $13.86 I mentioned earlier, it is spent! I ended up buying an ICarly lunchbox for my daughter, for $13.57. That means my total spent since September 16th is $89.55
Isn't that ADORABLE? It isn't even Halloween yet and I am super excited about Christmas already? I would definitely win at putting up the tree first in my family if I did it now! We all usually wait until at least November!
So on to the surveys I did today, points and more sites!
I did a site for http://panelpolls.net/ today. It is a site focused on parents and children. So if you have elementary aged children, this is a great site. I did a survey today and received 1500 points. I have a total of 9000 points on this site. You have to have at least 10,000 to cash in for $10. I do enjoy these surveys because very often the surveys are very easy and I always qualify. The surveys are often asking about new TV shows and new toys. One of the cons is they do not offer ENOUGH surveys, maybe 1 or 2 a month. The plus, they do send out the checks quickly, within 2 weeks. Average survey points is 1000.
The next site I took a survey for today is http://www.epollsurveys.com/. I received 500 points for this survey. at this site I currently have 7450 points. The rewards for this one are basically only gift cards, as well as online rewards. Things such as Best Buy, Target, Amazon, Paypal. This one does seem to take ages to arrive, even the electronic ones which is a bit annoying. It would be nice if they sent the electronic ones a bit faster. You also have to make a good amount (3500) to get the lowest reward level ($5). The pros of this site however are the surveys. They are always worth a good amount, 500 points or more so racking up points doesn't take too long. Sometimes they will even have you watch a certain TV show and later do a survey on it!
The last site for now is https://www.opinionoutpost.com/ . I have a survey in my email right now I plan on doing later. Right now I have 75 points which is equal to $7.50. You have to have $10 to cash out. The best reward on this one is Amazon but they also do checks. The Amazon codes arrive fairly quickly, within the day I think. I really like to let this one get up to $20 (200 points) or more before cashing out. One thing I don't like about this site is they sometimes put points into "pending" status, which holds up points for an extra week or so. More frustrating than anything really. Average survey points is usually 10-15 points, which is $1.00-$1.50.
Anyway I will end here, with another tip. When a survey pops up in your mail box, do it that day you receive it! Alot of times surveys will only be open to the first 500. If you wait too long, you will miss your chance at money! I know this the hard way. With the first site I posted, I have missed out on many MANY points because I waited too long. There is nothing more aggravating, seeing a survey worth $10 posted in your email from 3 days before, and when you click the link it says "We have reached our quota! Thank you for your interest!" I have kicked my butt many times for being a procrastinator, angrily clicking delete and moving on the next one. Always go to the next one!
Sleep tight!

Some tips!!
84 days until Christmas!
So after I posted my entry last night, I got to work on doing surveys. You don't have to really spend hours upon hours doing surveys but honestly, the more you do, the more you will make.
One of the first things you should do is create an email JUST for surveys. This way any message you get to this email is a survey and worth reading!
If a survey site asks for money or wants you to do offers that cost money, avoid it. You should not have to SPEND money to make money! There are a couple exceptions to this. One of those is https://www.mypoints.com . This site does alot of the reward points through shopping. This means if you order stuff online, things you would already be buying, if you go this site and click on the store you plan to use, you will get points for https://www.mypoints.com . It also sends out emails where you can get 5 points just to read an email and visit a site. Right now, I have 1873 points at this site. I actually plan to cash these points in today. I am cashing in 1.750 points for a $10 Wal Mart gift card. I figure I can use this online to buy things because Wal Mart offers free shipping OR I can buy items at the store for gifts! **$10 Wal Mart card ordered October 1st** I will let you know when I receive this in the mail so you know how long it takes for things to arrive!
One of the biggest tips I can offer when taking surveys...take your time. If you go too fast, you will NOT get the points for taking that survey. Because the company knows you are rushing through it and not really reading it, which brings me to my next tip.
Actually READ the questions and answers. Alot of companies will include answers meant to throw you off, to see if you are paying attention. I have actually seen one of the answers as "Check this box if you are not paying attention and want to be booted from the survey!" So just make sure you read the answers carefully!
Another good tip, after you have been doing this a while, and have alot of points to cash in from various sites, is to cash in all at once. That way you will get all the gift cards, checks and gift codes around the same time. Plus, it makes it seem like you are making more this way, than just $5 or $10 once a month. Like I said in my previous post, just since September 16th, I have spent $75.98. And right now, I have another $13.68 I can spend. I will let you know what I get!
So here is what you have all been waiting for! The list! This is just a partial list because I need to check my email and such on what sites I do. Some do not send out surveys as often as others!
I recently did a major cash out on almost all my survey sites which is why these amounts are kinda low. Just yesterday I got $25 Amazon code as well as another $10 Amazon code from 2 sites. So do not think I have been working on these amounts for months and months and just have $1 or 2 to show for it.
One of the main ones I really enjoy is http://surveyspot.com/ . I have 750 points right now at this site. I did a surveys last night for 50 points. With this site, you have to get at least 1,000 points and can cash in for Paypal. You will get this within an hour or so of redeeming so I really enjoy this one! I have redeemed $87.50 from this site just in the past few months. Average survey amounts is 50 but sometimes there are higher ones worth 150,200, even 350!
Another is https://www.globaltestmarket.com/ . For this site, you have to have 1,000 points but when you cash in, you get $50.00. Yeah, you read that correctly! Right now I have 615 points. The only downsides to this site is it does take a long time to get to 1,000 and when you do cash points in, it seems to take FOREVER for the check to arrive! But that is just because of when they send out! They send by check! Average survey amount is usually 35.
The last one for today is https://www.mysurvey.com/ . This is a really nice survey site. They offer items as well as Paypal and Amazon. Right now I have 445 points. The thing I really like about this site is even if you do not qualify for the survey, you still get 5 points. And let's face it, you won't qualify for EVERY survey! They might want a male and you are female. They might want someone with children of a certain age and you have children of a different age. It is nothing personal! It usually takes 10-15 days to receive, even Paypal and Amazon. Some surveys are worth 50 but the more involved ones or ones where you test a product are worth more, 400, 500! When they send out test products, they send out those items by UPS or FedEx. So if you have a PO Box, you might miss out on those because we will have to sign for items from time to time.
And that is your first few survey sites, to get you started! I will post more later today or tomorrow! Remember to follow my tips and first create an email JUST for surveys!
Another tip, make sure you fill out the site's profiles. This is just basic questions about you that help the site know which surveys you would be good for! Yes, they ask for your income but do not feel like they are snooping. It is just a general question and no one is trying to steal your identity or anything! Yes, they will ask for your address because they will need it to send you your rewards! Yes, they will ask you about your family, if you have children and their ages. This is simply because alot of surveys are aimed for children, about children TV shows, children's products.

So after I posted my entry last night, I got to work on doing surveys. You don't have to really spend hours upon hours doing surveys but honestly, the more you do, the more you will make.
One of the first things you should do is create an email JUST for surveys. This way any message you get to this email is a survey and worth reading!
If a survey site asks for money or wants you to do offers that cost money, avoid it. You should not have to SPEND money to make money! There are a couple exceptions to this. One of those is https://www.mypoints.com . This site does alot of the reward points through shopping. This means if you order stuff online, things you would already be buying, if you go this site and click on the store you plan to use, you will get points for https://www.mypoints.com . It also sends out emails where you can get 5 points just to read an email and visit a site. Right now, I have 1873 points at this site. I actually plan to cash these points in today. I am cashing in 1.750 points for a $10 Wal Mart gift card. I figure I can use this online to buy things because Wal Mart offers free shipping OR I can buy items at the store for gifts! **$10 Wal Mart card ordered October 1st** I will let you know when I receive this in the mail so you know how long it takes for things to arrive!
One of the biggest tips I can offer when taking surveys...take your time. If you go too fast, you will NOT get the points for taking that survey. Because the company knows you are rushing through it and not really reading it, which brings me to my next tip.
Actually READ the questions and answers. Alot of companies will include answers meant to throw you off, to see if you are paying attention. I have actually seen one of the answers as "Check this box if you are not paying attention and want to be booted from the survey!" So just make sure you read the answers carefully!
Another good tip, after you have been doing this a while, and have alot of points to cash in from various sites, is to cash in all at once. That way you will get all the gift cards, checks and gift codes around the same time. Plus, it makes it seem like you are making more this way, than just $5 or $10 once a month. Like I said in my previous post, just since September 16th, I have spent $75.98. And right now, I have another $13.68 I can spend. I will let you know what I get!
So here is what you have all been waiting for! The list! This is just a partial list because I need to check my email and such on what sites I do. Some do not send out surveys as often as others!
I recently did a major cash out on almost all my survey sites which is why these amounts are kinda low. Just yesterday I got $25 Amazon code as well as another $10 Amazon code from 2 sites. So do not think I have been working on these amounts for months and months and just have $1 or 2 to show for it.
One of the main ones I really enjoy is http://surveyspot.com/ . I have 750 points right now at this site. I did a surveys last night for 50 points. With this site, you have to get at least 1,000 points and can cash in for Paypal. You will get this within an hour or so of redeeming so I really enjoy this one! I have redeemed $87.50 from this site just in the past few months. Average survey amounts is 50 but sometimes there are higher ones worth 150,200, even 350!
Another is https://www.globaltestmarket.com/ . For this site, you have to have 1,000 points but when you cash in, you get $50.00. Yeah, you read that correctly! Right now I have 615 points. The only downsides to this site is it does take a long time to get to 1,000 and when you do cash points in, it seems to take FOREVER for the check to arrive! But that is just because of when they send out! They send by check! Average survey amount is usually 35.
The last one for today is https://www.mysurvey.com/ . This is a really nice survey site. They offer items as well as Paypal and Amazon. Right now I have 445 points. The thing I really like about this site is even if you do not qualify for the survey, you still get 5 points. And let's face it, you won't qualify for EVERY survey! They might want a male and you are female. They might want someone with children of a certain age and you have children of a different age. It is nothing personal! It usually takes 10-15 days to receive, even Paypal and Amazon. Some surveys are worth 50 but the more involved ones or ones where you test a product are worth more, 400, 500! When they send out test products, they send out those items by UPS or FedEx. So if you have a PO Box, you might miss out on those because we will have to sign for items from time to time.
And that is your first few survey sites, to get you started! I will post more later today or tomorrow! Remember to follow my tips and first create an email JUST for surveys!
Another tip, make sure you fill out the site's profiles. This is just basic questions about you that help the site know which surveys you would be good for! Yes, they ask for your income but do not feel like they are snooping. It is just a general question and no one is trying to steal your identity or anything! Yes, they will ask for your address because they will need it to send you your rewards! Yes, they will ask you about your family, if you have children and their ages. This is simply because alot of surveys are aimed for children, about children TV shows, children's products.
Until next time,
