Referrals

These are all websites that I like to use which generally allow me to redeem for gift cards and/or prizes.  I will detail a brief history of how I use each site and any benefits I may receive if you choose to use my referral link to sign up for your own account.  If you have any questions about any of the programs, or even just want some extra tips on how to best put them to work for you please contact me and I'll be happy to help.  

Just one unsolicited tip: Open up a separate email account to use for all of these bonus sites. While none of will these overload you with messages it is much easier to keep everything separate from your personal emails.

Swagbucks
I discovered Swagbucks when my back injury had me mostly housebound and although I do not use it nearly as much as I once did it remains my favorite bonus site.  To date I've redeemed thirty-two $5 Amazon gift cards, and I'm almost to my thirty-third redemption. I always buy my Groupons through Swagbucks because in addition to getting a great deal I want I also earn points to put toward my next Amazon gift card. If you decide to sign up through my referral link I earn matching points (up to 1000) for any points you earn while using Swagbucks' search function.

Superpoints is another website that is handy when it comes to getting a little bit extra for something you're already purchasing.  If you are one of the few who hasn't yet tried Netflix you can sign up for a free trial through the Superpoints offer page and receive 1000 points which can be redeemed for two $5 Amazon gift cards or $10 cash into your paypal account.  If you sign up though my link above I will receive a 25 point bonus, plus matching points for certain offers you complete on your account.  If you are the first person to sign up through this link (a second link)we BOTH receive a 25 point bonus!

This site is certainly slow going.  Not only does it take a long time for gift cards to be emailed out once ordered, but it also takes a long time to accumulate enough to redeem for prizes at 3000 points for a $5 Amazon gift card.  I keep my account open and occasionally input "Treasure Codes" when they pop up on my Facebook feed and still redeem for a few gift cards each year.  If you sign up through my link you immediately receive 50 points in your account and I receive matching points for any points you win through searching up to a cap of 3000.

Right now through April 6, 2012 if you sign up for a Vitacost account though a referral link not only will you receive a $10 coupon to use on site but so will I, so please consider signing up through my link if you decide to open an account.

RecycleBank
I use my points on RecycleBank mostly for the $5 off $25 Half Price Books coupons (just 50 points!), but occasionally there are other free product or high value coupons that I redeem for.  If you sign up through my link I receive 10 points.

There isn't really a referral, as I have no link to share (it has to be emailed) and I don't receive anything if you sign up, however it is a loyalty program that I have really enjoyed and would recommend to others.  You don't really have to be a daily coke drinker to make the most of this program - I get codes from friends who don't want to input them as well as from the occasional soda purchase.  In return I've ordered every magazine subscription I enjoy as well as a few gift cards for places like Home Depot and TJ Maxx.

MyPoints
I cannot post a referral link for the site because they must be emailed to each individual I wish to invite, so you can either email me to send you one or just join up on your own (I certainly won't be offended).  My favorite way to use this website is to use it to print my grocery coupons and I receive 10 points for each one I redeem.  I also like to go through their many partner sites when I make purchases online and I'll earn a certain number of points for each dollar I spend which I can in turn redeem for MANY different gift cards including my favorites Bath and Body Works and Panera Bread.
