Extra Cash

I always get emails from readers asking how I save up for Christmas.  I use the money and credits I get from doing surveys and searches to pay for it.  I save the money throughout the year and I always have more than enough to buy Christmas.  Here are the sites that I use:

InboxDollars - You have to reach $30 in your account to request a check.  You get paid for reading emails, doing surveys, watching videos and making online purchases.  It takes several months to reach the $30 threshold, but you do get a check.  They charge a $3 check processing fee, but they give you $5 just for signing up so you're still ahead.  I like it because there's very little effort to earn money with this site.

SwagBucks - You earn Swag Bucks by doing online searches, watching videos and all sorts of other stuff.  I use my bucks to get the $5 Amazon Credits.

Mindfield - I've gotten several surveys from this site that paid over $20 and all you need is $5 in your account to cash out.  They send out a check and you get it really quickly.

Opinion Outpost - I LOVE this site!  They send out several surveys and I almost always qualify for them.  They have several reward options to choose from.  You need $20 in your account to request a check or $5 for Amazon Credits.

MySurvey - MySurvey is one of my favorite sites.  You need 1,150 points to request a $10 check.  They have lots of other rewards to choose from as well such as Amazon Credits.

Pinecone Research - They're not allowing new members at this time, but occasionally they open up registration - I post when they open up.  They pay $3 for each survey and send out really nice products to review often.  I LOVE Pinecone!

Survey Savvy - You can request payment at any time.  They send out surveys regularly, but they fill up fast.
