Survey Says...

At the beginning of the summer, I signed up with several on-line survey companies. They send me daily emails and I fill out surveys on-line and I earn credit towards gift cards and sometimes cash. For one of the companies I earn money towards my daughter's U Promise account.

My hope was to earn enough money to be able to purchase all of my Christmas gifts using the gift cards I earned. Well it has not been as easy as I had hoped. I have been slowly earning points, but often spend a lot of time filing out a survey only to be told that I do not qualify for the survey.

I have however been able to test products at home and fill out surveys, seen alternate endings to movies, and also seen new advertising for products. I have already slowed down or stopped surveys from specific companies because I never seem to qualify and have found others that were "more effective."

Several weeks ago, a friend of mine introduced me to Swag bucks. This web-site is a search engine and by using this web-site to search for things, I earn "Swag bucks" which I can redeem for "swag" such as gift cards, and music, clothing, etc. If I were to refer someone to this site and they began using it, I would earn Swag bucks when they did. But I have not been able to find anyone to sign up. I guess it sounds to good to be true. In some ways it is, you earn points towards merchandise for nothing. I guess they benefit from my searches somehow, but in the meantime, I am earning Swag bucks so I can help myself towards having a free Christmas.
