Using "Points" Programs Online to Earn Gift Certificates

There are many different ways to get free cash and prizes giving your opinions from home online. One great way is reward points programs. I have been a member of some reward points websites and have found that they have great programs where you answer surveys and are given points you can redeem for cash, prizes, or bid your points on auction items at their site. This is a way to get cash and prizes without leaving home or dealing with a boss, and you are on your own schedule!

Reward TV is one of the websites where you can earn points for your opinions and knowledge. At www.rewardtv.com you can become a member for free and earn points to bid at their online auction or redeem for gift cards, and other prizes. It is simple and you can earn a ton of points! They ask you to pick from a list of television shows you have watched recently and then they ask you questions about the show. They also ask you questions about commercials that aired during the show, and every question you answer correctly you earn points. You can choose up to five shows a day and they also have additional point earning opportunities. Foe example, I recently earned 90,000 points, first by answering questions for the five shows I selected, and then by taking surveys. I earned points answering questions about movies I have heard of and seen in the theatres, shopping, celebrities, and more.

Once you are a member and have earned points, you can go to the online auction and begin bidding for items, or redeem your points for gift certificates and more. Your points are redeemable for free subscriptions to TV Guide, gift cards to places like Home Depot, Burger King, Citgo, Olive Garden, Old Navy, and many many more! Or you can save up your points and wait for an auction item you want, and bid to win! Their auction has items like digital cameras, DVD's, movie tickets, MP3 players, and more. You also have the option of redeeming your points for raffle tickets and be entered to win things like getting your groceries paid for, make your car payment, your utilities paid, your cell phone bill paid, or you can just keep the cash they give you to pay these bills if you win! The great thing about Reward TV is that you never have to buy anything to earn points and get prizes. You get the rewards just for answering questions.

My Points (http://www.mypoints.com) is another rewards program where they reward you for shopping, taking surveys, playing games, and reading email. Don't just shop on the internet without belonging to a rewards program like this. They give you points for shopping through their site. You can still go to the store you want, Best Buy.com, Old Navy.com, Target.com, and many more. If you go to these stores through the links at My Points website, you earn points for doing the shopping you would have done anyway. Your points can be redeemed for gift certificates to your favorite stores and restaurants. Think next time before you shop online and sign up at a site like My Points so you can get rewarded for shopping online.

Another great rewards points website is memolink.com. Once you sign up at http://www.memolink.com you can start earning points to redeem for gift certificates at many different stores and restaurants. Do you apply for credit cards, shop online, play at online casinos, rent at Blockbuster? Memolink will award you points for doing all of these things from the links at their website. They offer you a $50 gift card for filling out one offer when you register as a free member. I filled out the Blockbuster offer because I have been wanting to try the service where they charge a flat rate per month and ship you 3 movies at a time and you never have late fees. You ship them back when you are done, free of charge, and you get more movies immediately. They also give you 2 free in store rentals a month. The point is, since I already wanted to try this service, and I signed up through Memolink when I registered, I get a free $50 gift certificate of my choice! A $10 gift certificate costs 1800 points, but it is easy to earn. If you like online casinos, sign up at Memolink and the casino gives you up to $310 free to start, and Memolink gives you up to 9000 points for signing up off the link on their website! That is redeemable for a free $50 gift card!

All of these rewards points programs are great opportunities to get something extra for yourself just for doing the shopping, game playing, web surfing, credit card applying, and many other internet activities you were going to do anyway. Many people go out of their way to clip coupons, find great sales, use the credit card that gives them cash back or points toward a rewards program, and the internet is the same. Don't shop or surf or sign up for offers and services for free when you can get paid to do it! Let your normal internet activities take you out to dinner or on a shopping spree. There are many different points rewards programs and websites to choose from. Find the one that is right for you and sign up.
