Our favorite reward site is easily Swagbucks, but the other day I joined a new one. I thought I should share it with you all.

SuperPoints is another network where you can earn points and redeem them for prizes. The more points you earn the better the prizes!

It looks like 500 points is worth about $5 in gift cards or paypal cash. You get 25 points just for signing up, 5 more for filling out your profile, then more and more for referring people, completing offers, and other things. They also have other prizes like iPods, iPads, and more.

One cool feature is the “SuperLucky Button”. You get to press it a certain amount of times per day to see if you win. Basically it’s an instant win game you can play each day!

To sign up click this link.

Update: I received my first redemption today! I got an Apple gift card (11/3/2011)

Update: I am now on my third redemption! (1/4/2012)

Are you a member yet?

Not only do I like to share ways to save money, get freebies, and eat free, but also how to make money. From Swagbucks to Surveys there are opportunities online to make money. However it can be hard to find the RIGHT companies.

Generally if I don’t have experience with a company, I like to ask a friend to do a guest post. However, a few people were who were familiar with Synovate were busy, but told me they were legit.

So as of now I am just a new member, along with you if you decide to join. However I can let you know what they offer.

Basically just for signing up you are entered to win their monthly sign-up sweepstakes that has over 200 winners each month. Then for each survey you take you earn points redeemable for cash, as many of them do now.

To get started they ask you a few questions about you, your race/education etc, and your household. Honestly I never qualify, so I let my lady do the surveys with her information. Some campaigns can be very particular about who they want to hear from, so make sure to fill out this part accurately.

Starting Points + Cash Out

Now that I am confirmed (check your email) I see that they start you out with 500 points. To cash out at $5 you need 5000 points, so your starting money is $0.50.

After signing up there are also 4 surveys available to me for 250 points each. So just after my free points for joining and taking 4 surveys I can get to $1.50!

I’ve seen great reviews of Synovate, if you use it please feel free to share, I’d love to mention it in this post.

Plus don’t forget to check out our official make money online guide.

YES. It is possible to make money on the Internet. NO. You are not going to get rich overnight and quit your day job. But hey, who can’t use a little extra spending cash. There are tons of sites out there offering opportunities to make money from home on the Internet, but they aren’t all legit. Inbox Dollars is one of the legit companies that pays.

I have been a member with Inbox Dollars for a couple years now, and have received a couple pay outs. There are several ways to earn money through offers at Inbox Dollars, but the easiest way is by checking your email (hence Inbox Dollars). Yep, it can be as simple as checking your email. An email from Inbox Dollars comes in, you open the email, click through the link and check out the offer. If the offer appeals to you and you take advantage of it and you earn a bonus, but even if you don’t do anything else you earn just for opening the email.

How many emails do you open a day that you don’t get paid for? How about adding a couple that you get paid to look at? Joining was a no-brainer to me.

In addition to emails, you also get paid for taking survey, playing games, printing coupons and more. For every $30 you earn in your account, you can cash out, and to get you started you get $5 in your account just for signing up.

I don’t spend a lot of time taking advantage of deals; in fact, I pretty much just open the emails and move on. But this week I am cashing out $30. Not a bad deal for just reading some emails from Inbox Dollars.

For more opportunities like these, make sure to check out our guide to making money online.

I love being able to put our website on different products. I’ve been wanting to get an Its All Free Online shirt for a while. With Vistaprint’s offer I was able to score one a while ago. Today only it’s returned!

Get a $2 custom t-shirt from Vistaprint. There are a bunch of designs to choose from, or you can upload your own. I just kept it simple and started with a blank template. I found the font I wanted, and the biggest size that would fit.

My total cost for the shirt was around $8 shipped! However shipping starts at as low as $4.41, so you may get it even cheaper then me.

This is a limited time offer. What are you putting on your t-shirt?

I’ve received my “As Seen On TV” mystery box in the past and it was great. They are offering up a different one now.

Different then our custom mystery box, this box will be filled with items you can keep, or give as gifts. Unlike the custom box where we put things in that are unused but may have damaged packaging, or may have been returned, the gift box will only contain items that are in “gift giving condition” There will be no junk. No small worthless items. Everything will be a gift you’ll be proud to give. And if not…..hey, it’s guaranteed!

Have you ever thought about selling on Ebay, but don’t want to pay the fees?  Do you have a pile of unwanted items just waiting to find a new home or a basket of samples you’ll never use?  Do you like getting things for free??  If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, then you might want to check out Listia!

I’ve been using Listia for a few months now and I really like it!  I’ve been able to trade my unwanted items (clothes, free coupons, toys, and various other things) for other free items on the site, such as purses, gift cards, free coupons, various samples, and more! 

The basic idea of the site is very easy: 1) join the site for FREE, 2) list an item to offer (or “sell”), 3) people bid on your item with credits they have earned from selling their own items, 4) you mail the item to the winner.  Easy as pie!  Plus, not only do you get credits from the items you’ve listed, but you get credits for doing things like leaving feedback for a seller or buyer, listing an item with “free shipping”, and advertising your listing on Facebook and Twitter.

Here is the description of Listia taken directly from their website:

What is Listia?

Listia is a new kind of online auction site where you bid on other people’s stuff using credits instead of real money. We make it easy for you to give away stuff you don’t need anymore and get stuff you want in return for free. If you enjoy giving and getting items for free, then you’ll love Listia!

For a limited time, every new user gets 500 free promotional credits just for signing up and listing an item. The more popular your listing is, the more credits your auction will go for. You can then use those credits to bid for things you want. The highest bid wins the item, so each thing goes to the person who wants it most! Getting more credits is easy, fun and most importantly, costs nothing!

You can also find out more about Listia on their Facebook page, and once you join the site you can advertise your listings on their Facebook page as well.

PineCone Research is also actively recruiting NEW Hispanic panelists! “Households of Hispanic Heritage

Join Pinecone Research to make money online taking surveys. I would not promote this if I haven’t personally done this and been paid. This is THE best survey network to get in with, and their registration is limited.

They pay you $3-5 via Paypal for every survey you complete. Sometimes they even let you do in home testing which earns more money, plus a free product. I got to try a dish washing product that I ended up keeping for 1 month plus. Meaning I didn’t pay anything for dishwasher liquid etc.

Don’t forget to check out our other ways to make money online.

Right now they are offering a $10 gift card bonus for new users. You can select from Barnes & Noble, Target, Home Depot, and Magazines.com. After you make your first purchase of $25 or more using their site you will get the gift card.

They have 1,200 online stores you can shop at so I’m sure it won’t be difficult finding any of your favorite stores.

I haven’t used Global Test Market in years, although I have been paid from them in the past. So I asked a fellow blogger to do a review for me!

Virginia Higgins is a 34 year old Christian, wife, mother of two toddlers, and homemaker. Her blog is an eclectic mix of real life stories, anecdotes, photography, scrapbooking, and product reviews/giveaways.

I joined Global Test Market several years ago, after researching several different paid survey sites. I appreciated the fact that Global Test Market had a good reputation, was free to join, and that I was able to find several reports of people actually getting paid. Global Test Market is one of the leading paid survey sites available, and has been around since 1999.

Much like other paid survey sites, Global Test Market sends its members survey invitations by e-mail. Some weeks you may receive a few survey invitations a day, and other weeks only a few in that week. Most surveys have “screener” questions, and members may not qualify for every survey they are invited to. In the event that you are screened out of a survey, sweepstakes entries are granted in lieu of points.

With the current minimum cash out level at 1000 points, which is worth $50, I have been able to request payout at least four times over the last two years, and am only a survey or two away from being able to cash out again.

It is relatively easy to earn enough points with Global Test Market to reach the pay out level. I don’t respond to all the invitations I receive, and am screened out of a portion of the ones that I do respond to. The average survey that I do complete takes about 5-10 minutes and can easily be completed in between other tasks.

The think I like most about Global Test Market, aside from the pay out, is that the site is not spammy. They don’t ask you to purchase a product before giving feedback on it. If you are looking to earn a little extra spending cash, I highly recommend Global Test Market.

If you haven’t heard of Restaurant.com you are missing out. Save money every time you go out to eat. They offer $25 gift certificates to certain restaurants for only $10.

To get started simply enter in your zip code to find participating restaurants. You can define your search as you want to by how many miles away you want to find.

Most offers come with a minimum purchase or gratuity charge, but it’s still giving you a huge discount! Of course we found a way to get it even cheaper. Use Restaurant.com coupon code JOY to get a $25 gift certificate for only $1!

Note: You can also use the code for the Dinner of the Month Club (12 $25 certificates and 1 FREE $50 certificate) where you will only pay $24! That’s $350 worth of restaurant certificates for only $24!

Review

I paid $2 when they had that nice sale going on. Paying for it was easy, I just used my credit card. It’s like shopping on amazon, simple clicks and typing. I really enjoyed the simplicity and ease of their website and registration and pay.

I also had a situation arise, nothing bad, and had to contact customer service. They responded right away and were extremely polite. It took around 30ish hours for them to respond, which is quick for email responses personally. I will be purchasing from them again!

I used the restaurant certificate at a local place called Jonathan Byrd’s. I had never been there, nor had I actually ever used a certificate! I was quite impressed. I got the fried chicken which they’re apparently known for. And my husband got a steak of course. My son had chicken and fries. It was quite enjoyable, and well worth the 30 minute trip.

The restaurant wasn’t over decorated, too loud, and was very family oriented which made our dinner extremely enjoyable. I would love to go again! And maybe next time try the steak haha.
