Rewards Points, Referrals and Setting up Your Own Sites

Do you already have something in mind that you want to get with your online points?  Why not use free online tools to help you get there?

If you are going after a product at amazon, you should get into the online rewards programs that offer amazon gift cards.  Even if you don't get enough amazon gift cards to pay for the full amount, every extra dollar in gift cards is still a savings.

Are you going to go after rewards points with all of your free time? You might want to focus on different efforts to help get to your real goals.  The rewarding option of gift cards is only getting them for stuff that you are already doing.  Searching online is a task that plenty of people do.  

Some of the sites give you rewards for getting referral signups.  Take the time to look at the different sites to see if they make sense with your time investment.  You have to remember that it is a trade off. You are spending your time on the sites and this is an opportunity cost.  You could be going after a part time job or even setting up your own business to help bring in the income that you want to use for buying gifts.

You might even want to think about setting up your own blog and joining other programs that pay commissions for selling products online.  It is time to start thinking strategic about getting the stuff that you want online.

Swagbucks and Bing Rewards - Bing sent the gift card super fast

Swagbucks has lots of ways to earn points, but they are not the only game in town when it comes to getting amazon gift cards.  I just got on the bing rewards bandwagon.  There are not as many ways to earn points, but they deliver when it comes to time to pay up.

The basic ways to earn points with the bing rewards program is through online searching and web searching.  You can also get them for inviting friends to sign up ( referrals ).  You are going to do some searching on the web, and it starts to add up over time.  You are probably still going to use google, but for a few more searches why not use another program to get some money from your online search routines.

I just loved how quickly they sent the amazon gift card after I entered my order.  I was really just a few minutes.  The swagbucks team takes days to send the gift cards.  Now, swagbucks had added a new process and they want to send you emails.  The bing rewards amazon gift code was released super quick and I love it.

The only thing about the bing downside is the limits on how many points you can get per day.  There is no real other downside other than the limited number of ways that you can pick up points.  Swagbucks has plenty of other methods to getting swagbucks.
