Rewards Sites - Getting Gift Cards

It is hard for some people to believe that they can get stuff for free using the internet.  All they have to do is sign up for the right sites and start earning points and gift cards.

How many people in the united states and the uk use the internet everday?  The number is really high.  Think about all of the people that have smartphones and tablet computers.  They are doing web searches.  They are looking up all kinds of information.

The information that they are searching for could be earning them points.  All they have to do is get started with simple sites that reward them for using the service.  Some people must think that it is a scam.  Internet scams do happen, but some sites real and they do supply you with gift cards from top companies.

I really like using these services.  I have been getting amazon gift cards with most of my points.  One thing you have to notice is how long it takes to get your gift card.  You don't get them immediately when you qualify for it.  I might take a few days for your gift card to get applied to your account.  

The amazon gift cards can come through the mail or you can get an electronic gift card amazon code.  You can copy the code and add it to your amazon account.  

Right now, I usually just get the amazon gift cards, because they have the lowest redemption requirement.  I am going to start going for paypal gift cards in the future.  They require a few more points, but it is easier to use paypal at other places around the web.  

Just think about that for a minute.  There are lots of companies that accept paypal on the web.  What if you wanted to setup your own website or blog?  You could use one of the services that offer paypal as a payment to help pay for your other online activities.  

Do you drink coffee?  Some of the rewards sites have gift cards for starbucks.  You would have to get a lot of points to keep up with starbucks coffee.  One starbucks venti mocha would eat up that gift card.  If you drink starbucks coffee everyday, it would not be enough to keep you going.

Joining rewards sites is easy.  Adding gift cards for simple stuff that you already do is simple.  All of these rewards sites are not the same.  Some make it easy for you to get points and others make it tough like pulling teeth.
