Earn Amazon Rewards From Survey Sites - Part 4

2011-06-15T11:53:00.001-04:00

INTRODUCTION --This is the 4th post in a series about survey sites that offer Amazon rewards as payment. Stay tuned as several more sites will be revealed in future posts.

Did you know that you can earn Amazon rewards by taking surveys? I'm registered on several different survey websites where I earn Amazon rewards for completing surveys, testing new products, being part of focus groups, etc. If you love shopping at Amazon and would like to increase your purchasing power then you should consider using survey sites to earn Amazon rewards.

All of the survey sites I belong to are FREE, FREE, FREE to join. None of them have ever asked me to buy anything or disclose my credit card number for any reason. If you ever come across a survey site that asks you to pay to join, I advise you to turn and run, because it is not at all necessary to pay a fee in order to be rewarded for taking surveys.
So let's get started! The 4th survey site I recommend for earning Amazon rewards is.....

Clixsense Research - Clixsense Research is the sister site of Clixsense.com the very successful PTC (pay to click) site. Most surveys pay from .50 to $2.00 each if you qualify and complete the entire survey which can take from 5 to 20 minutes on average. Even if you are screened out (don't qualify) you'll get paid .10 just for trying it. That's one of my favorite features of Clixsense Research. When your account balance reaches $10 you qualify for a $10 Amazon reward.

The Practical Side of Stockpiling Amazon Rewards

2011-02-07T10:30:00.002-05:00

We all know that Amazon is the "go to" website when it comes to electronics, toys, books and other fun and frivolous items that might be on our wishlists. However, last week I was once again reminded of how my Amazon rewards serve a practical purpose in keeping my household running smoothly by helping me save money on a necessary kitchen replacement part.

While baking a batch of cupcakes with my daughter, I noticed that my oven temperature was slowly falling and the cupcakes were not rising as they should. Long story short, hubby determined that the baking element in our oven had stopped working and needed to replaced. Since the oven is at least 15 years old with no warranty, we knew we'd have to cover the cost of repairing it ourselves.

After searching online and finding the part at Sears and several other appliance parts websites with prices ranging from $35 - $48 plus shipping, the deal seeking part of my brain finally woke up and I realized I hadn't checked Amazon. You know that feeling, when you overlook the obvious and all you can say to yourself is....

DUH!! ..... and..... Double DUH!!!

Well, you probably know how this story ends, right? I found the exact part we needed at Amazon for only $19.95 plus $8.47 expedited 2-3day shipping. Comparing this with the best price I found elsewhere including shipping charges, I saved over $13! Actually, since I paid for this item with Amazon rewards instead of our "real money" you could say that I once again shopped for FREE at Amazon.com!

I hope you're earning lots of Amazon rewards from the sources I mention here. Keep building up your rewards stockpile and don't forget about all the practical uses for those Amazon rewards. It's wonderful to save them up for the next electronic gadget that hits the market but be sure to check out Amazon for the necessary household items you may be in need of before spending any "real money" elsewhere.

Hotel Rewards Clubs Offer Amazon Gift Cards

2011-01-27T20:49:00.002-05:00

Did you know you could be earning Amazon rewards the next time you book a hotel room? I belong to two hotel clubs that offer Amazon rewards but I'm sure there are others I haven't discovered yet so check into the ones you use to and see if you have the option of cashing in your points for Amazon rewards.

There are usually no fees involved to join these types of customer loyalty programs. Whether you only travel a few times a year, or if you or your spouse travel frequently for business you would definitely benefit from joining hotel loyalty programs. Best Western Rewards and Choice Privileges are 2 that I belong to that give me the option of cashing my points in for Amazon Rewards. We stayed 3 nights at a Best Western last year and I just got an email from them with an update on my Rewards account. I have enough points to cash in for a $25 Amazon reward!

So the next time you book a hotel room be sure to join their loyalty program. To get even more bang for your buck you can charge your hotel stay to your Amazon Rewards Chase Visa card that way you'll be earning points from 2 sources!

Amazon Kindle- A Family Favorite - Win a Kindle Cover!

2011-01-12T15:19:00.000-05:00

First, I'd like to wish everyone a belated very Happy New Year!!

I hope you enjoyed the holiday season and were able to fill your loved ones stockings with lots of goodies from their Amazon wishlists.

The Kindle was a popular item for our family this year. Our 2 youngest kids each got one from Santa and my husband and I decided to get one for my Mom since she never leaves the house without a book in her purse. Now she can carry a library of her favorites everywhere she goes. It's awesome to see the kids reading on their own everyday by choice, without any reminders from me! I think just the idea of holding something electronic, that almost feels like a video game, has increased their desire to read. Hey, whatever it takes! I sure do hope this will last well into the new year and beyond and not become a passing fad--fingers crossed : ). I'm also seriously considering getting another one when my oldest goes off to college next year. I've heard from other parents that they've saved tons of money by downloading college textbooks onto the Kindle instead of paying bookstore prices for the very heavy textbooks that the kids hate to carry around campus anyway. It sounds like a wonderful solution to save money and prevent backpack injuries.

I'm so glad to see everyone enjoying their new Kindles which I purchased with the help of Amazon rewards I'd been collecting from various sources throughout the year. I have to admit, I didn't know very much about the Kindle when it became a wanted item on the kids' Christmas lists, but I can definitely see why it and other electronic readers are becoming so popular. Besides books, you can also get magazine and newspaper subscriptions, and various apps and games. We've been having a lot of spelling fun with a FREE download called the Every Word game. It's a word scramble puzzle where you need to make as many words as you can from a group of random letters. It's a great way to sharpen your spelling skills and learn some new words too.

So anyway, back to the Kindle Cover contest I mentioned in the title of this post. A naked Kindle needs protection when not in use so be sure to enter the Timbuk2 Kindle Sleeve giveaway on Facebook and you might win one of 100 FREE Nylon Quilted Kindle Envelope Sleeves between 1/10/2011 and 1/31/2011.

If you're new to this blog, read some of my older posts and check the right sidebar for websites offering Amazon rewards. Earning Amazon rewards is an easy way to stretch your gift giving budget and stay out of credit card debt during the holidays and year round for that matter. Just think of the possibilities....birthdays, anniversaries, graduation gifts, can be purchased with Amazon rewards. Just add some items to your Amazon wishlist and start working towards earning the rewards needed to purchase them. Set a goal for yourself and try to meet your deadline.

On a final note, what was your favorite Amazon gift you either received or gave to someone else? Were you able to purchase it with Amazon rewards earned online? If so, how did you earn the rewards? Please comment and share your successes with us!

Amazon Filler Finder: Search Amazon.com for Items to Qualify for Super Saver Shipping

2010-10-14T14:11:00.001-04:00

This is for those times you are trying to get free shipping from Amazon but you're just a wee bit short of making the $25 minimum.  If you've been in this situation before, you may have wondered what to add to your order that would bump it up to qualify for free shipping without going way over and ordering something you didn't really want or need.

Thanks to the helpful facebook friends on the Swagbucks wall I was informed of this site that will help you find an item for the exact amount you need to meet the $25 Super Saver Shipping requirement at Amazon.
Check out this link and bookmark it so the next time you need a filler item it'll make things so much easier.

2010-10-03T15:00:00.001-04:00

Until the end of October you can get 5% back in gift cards (amazon rewards) on any gift card purchase of at least $50 when you pay with your Amazon Visa card. So, if you were thinking of getting any Amazon gift cards as holiday gifts, now would a great time to order them and earn a little extra back for your own shopping pleasure.

I mentioned some of the benefits of using the Amazon Visa card in a prior post, but this is an added perk only available until 10/31/10. You will also still earn the 3 points for every dollar spent at Amazon.com which will get you even closer to your next $25 Amazon reward from Chase Visa.

Go here for all the details and if you don't have the Chase Amazon Visa you can apply at that page as well.

Swagbucks is Back and Today is Swaggernaut Appreciation Day!

2010-09-28T11:42:00.001-04:00

You may have heard that Swagbucks had a recent outage that created a state of panic for many of us Swaggernauts. Their facebook fan page and twitter were filled with worrisome comments about the situation. The site was up and down and my searches weren't winning very many Swagbucks. I was somewhat concerned that they were going to disappear into the internet wasteland of failed rewards programs and my fantastic source of Amazon rewards would no longer exist.

But TSG (The Swag Guy) kept a good line of communication open to ease our fears and rewarded us yesterday with a code worth 15 SB's to help make up for the inconvenience. He's also promised us some more "SB love" today in the form of Swaggernaut Appreciation Day. Check it out FAST, there's a code worth 8 Swagbucks in the latest blogpost.

Not a Swagbucks member yet? Join HERE (Yes, it's FREE) and start enjoying the benefits of this amazingly rewarding opportunity.

New! Use American Express Membership Rewards Points at Amazon.com!

2010-09-28T10:52:00.001-04:00

I logged into my Amex Account this morning and discovered something NEW that I wanted to share with you! You can now use your American Express Membership Rewards points as payment for Amazon orders!

Here's how it works and what you need to do:

1) You must have an American Express card/account and be enrolled in their Membership Rewards program.

2) Sign into your American Express account.

3) Click through the Membership Rewards link on the right side of the screen.

4) Click through the phrase "Shop with Points at Amazon.com."

5) Click continue and you'll be able to read all the details of this program.

6) Now click the "Get Started" button and register all of your eligible American Express cards/accounts.

7) The next time you place an Amazon order you will have the option of using your Amex Membership Rewards points towards your purchase. You can even combine these points with Amazon Rewards/Gift Codes that you've earned from Swagbucks or taking surveys or other sources! Any remaining balance will then be billed to the registered American Express card, which in turn will earn you more rewards points to spend at Amazon.

This is a great option for those of you who already have an Amex card and have been enrolled in the Membership Rewards program. I am not encouraging anyone to run up credit card debt just to get these rewards since that would be defeating the whole purpose of this blog which is to help you find ways to Shop for FREE at Amazon.com!  Please charge responsibly : ) and pay the entire balance off every month.

Earn Amazon Rewards By Taking Surveys - Part 3

2010-09-21T14:16:00.001-04:00

INTRODUCTION- This is the 3rd post in a series about survey sites that offer Amazon rewards as payment. Stay tuned as several more sites will be revealed in future posts.

Did you know that you can earn Amazon rewards by taking surveys? I'm registered on many different survey websites where I earn cash and Amazon rewards for completing surveys, testing new products, being part of focus groups, etc. If you love shopping at Amazon and would like to increase your purchasing power then you should consider using survey sites to earn Amazon rewards.

Earn Amazon Rewards From Survey Sites - Part 2

2010-08-19T11:27:00.002-04:00

INTRODUCTION - This is the 2nd post in a series about survey sites that offer Amazon rewards as payment. Stay tuned as several more sites will be revealed in future posts.

Did you know that you can earn Amazon rewards by taking surveys? I'm registered on many different survey websites where I earn cash and Amazon rewards for completing surveys, testing new products, being part of focus groups, etc. If you love shopping at Amazon and would like to increase your purchasing power then you should consider using survey sites to earn Amazon rewards.

All of the survey sites I belong to are FREE, FREE, FREE to join. None of them have ever asked me to buy anything or disclose my credit card number for any reason. If you ever come across a survey site that asks you to pay to join, I advise you to turn and run, because it is not at all necessary to pay a fee in order to be rewarded for taking surveys.

So let's get started! The 2nd survey site I use and recommend for earning Amazon rewards is.....

VALUED OPINIONS --I receive lots of survey invitations from this site, sometimes several per day. Unfortunately, I don't usually have the time to respond to them all so I do the ones with the highest rewards amounts first. Most surveys will have a deadline date as well so it is best to respond quickly before the survey expires.

Valued Opinion surveys usually take from 10-20 minutes to complete and rewards per survey range from $1 to $5 and could be as high as $50 for specialist surveys (the most I've been paid for a single survey is $4). You will need to accumulate a balance of at least $20 before you can cash out for an Amazon reward. But if you respond to all or most of the survey invitations it shouldn't take very long to reach this amount. After you complete a survey, they say it could take up to 28 days to see the payment amount in your account, but I've seen it faster than that.

I received another survey invitation from them this morning, but unfortunately I was not qualified to take it. However, while on their site I noticed that my balance had grown to $23.50 which meant that I could cashout a $20 Amazon reward....so I did! I received the code immediately after requesting it and also in a confirmation email a few minutes later. I then copied and pasted the code into my Amazon account for future use. I love watching my Amazon account balance grow!

Like any other survey site, you will not qualify for every survey you are invited to, so be aware that you may invest a few minutes on screening questions and not be able to complete the entire survey and earn the reward offered. It's a numbers game, so the more survey invitations you respond to the better your odds are of completing some and earning the rewards. Best of luck to you with VALUED OPINIONS.

1) Opinion Outpost
2) Valued Opinions

If you're already a follower that's great and you'll be included in this as well so don't go anywhere.
If you're an email subscriber, but not a follower just click the follow button so I can see you there as well.

Here's what you need to do after you follow this blog.......

Leave a comment below that answers this question:

If you could purchase just one item from your Amazon Wishlist what would it be and why?

Earn Amazon Rewards From Survey Sites - Part 1

2010-08-03T12:19:00.000-04:00

INTRODUCTION This is the first post in a series about survey sites that offer Amazon rewards as payment. Stay tuned as several more sites will be revealed in future posts.

Did you know that you can earn Amazon rewards by taking surveys? I'm registered on several different survey websites where I earn Amazon rewards for completing surveys, testing new products, being part of focus groups, etc. If you love shopping at Amazon and would like to increase your purchasing power then you should consider using survey sites to earn Amazon rewards.

All of the survey sites I belong to are FREE, FREE, FREE to join. None of them have ever asked me to buy anything or disclose my credit card number for any reason. If you ever come across a survey site that asks you to pay to join, I advise you to turn and run, because it is not at all necessary to pay a fee in order to be rewarded for taking surveys.

So let's get started!

Here's the first of several survey sites that offer payment in Amazon rewards.

OPINION OUTPOST

I've been a member of Opinion Outpost for several years and have enjoyed taking surveys for this company. They usually send me several survey invitations per week and I've received payments from them in a timely manner. This site rewards you first in points for each survey you complete and then you have the option of cashing in your points for either a check or for Amazon rewards.

Please be aware that you will not qualify for every survey you are invited to. There will be some instances where you will spend a few minutes on the preliminary questions and then find out you are not a match for the survey. Don't take it personally. If that happens you may be offered another opportunity to try to qualify for a different survey.

The minimum to cashout for either a check or Amazon reward is $5 or 50 points. You can usually qualify for that amount after taking 2-3 surveys. If you request an Amazon reward, a screen will popup immediately with your reward code, so there is no waiting. You can then go to Amazon and add the code to your account where it can be used to pay for future purchases. You can also give the code to someone else as a gift if you'd like. I just cashed out $42.50 today and put it in my Amazon account for future use.

Opinion Outpost also pays you 20 points (or $2.00) for each person you refer after they complete their first survey. Some weeks I make more money or Amazon rewards from referral bonuses than I do on actually taking surveys so if you can refer others by posting your referral link in your outgoing emails, on facebook, twitter, myspace, and your personal blog or website you'll see your balance grow much faster.
