Surveys & Mystery Shopping Really Pay!

Here's the "proof" of how you can earn money using the paid surveys and mystery shopping sites I have listed on this page.  Keep in mind that these balances are only from the last few months.  For Amazon.com gift cards received from surveys & SwagBucks, it's a total of $241 this year in 2014 alone!  The image below shows 2013 & 2014 so far, it doesn't include the $452 in Amazon.com gift cards in 2012.

For PayPal payments received from mystery shopping & surveys, it's a total of $193.21 in the last year! This total doesn't even count the physical checks I've received!

Outside of the paid surveys & mystery shopping, here's where some of this good stuff comes from: Swag Bucks, SuperPoints & MyPoints. These three sites are SO easy to earn points, which can be traded in for gift cards & PayPal cash.  

Swag Bucks is BY FAR my favorite rewards site as being super easy to rack up points & redeeming for rewards. At Swag Bucks you can earn points by using it as your search engine, taking surveys, doing "tasks", answering a daily poll and other totally simple stuff.  The picture below shows everything I've redeemed my points for since January 2013. This doesn't even take into account the $185 I redeemed in 2012!  I have averaged 571 Swag Bucks per month since January 2014 *JUST* using it as my search engine instead of Google/Yahoo/MSN, etc.  That amount doesn't even take into account the Swag Bucks I earn doing surveys, playing games or watching Swag Bucks TV!  You can now also earn Swag Bucks by shopping online.  I earned some by booking reservations for my boss, I didn't even spend my money!  Keep in mind that a $5 Amazon.com gift card is only 450 Swag Bucks! That's $60 in Amazon.com gift cards JUST since January 2014!

With MyPoints, you can earn points by shopping, printing/redeeming coupons, reading emails and other super easy things.  Plus, if you're a member of BzzAgent, you get points by submitting your Bzz activities and profile surveys.  The picture below is the amount I currently have in MyPoints, along with my three recent redemptions of $25 Amazon.com gift cards!  

SuperPoints is back!!  I just re-joined August 1st and I already have 1,056 points.

With SuperPoints you can earn points by watching videos and clicking the Super Lucky Button.  This is the easiest, most brainless thing ever!  The picture below is the amount I had in SuperPoints before they closed.  I had averaged about 482 SuperPoints per month since January 2012 (before it closed) and I only get points from the Super Lucky button.  

Fiber One® Meal Bar from BzzAgent

Absolutely LOVING the new BzzAgent Bzz Kit I received today with two FREE full-size boxes of the new Fiber One® Meal Bars, along with some coupons.  I received Chocolate Peanut Butter and Strawberry Greek Yogurt.  These will be perfect for my breakfast during the week as I barely have time to get myself and my kids ready and out the door on time on a daily basis.  These little gems are packed with 10g of protein, 9g of fiber and 40-60% less sugar than the Special K® meal bars.  They also offer a Dark Chocolate Almond flavor that has to be amazing.  I mean, "dark chocolate" pretty much seals the deal for me. YUM.

I have tried other Fiber One bars before, so I'm sure this new product won't disappoint!

Obviously these aren't going to be the "magic" weight loss pill.  You still have to eat healthy otherwise - getting your fruits and vegetables in, along with your healthy grains, lean protein and dairy.  

Exercise is really the key to losing serious weight.  Take it slow if it's been a while and listen to your body, if it hurts, don't push it too hard.  I know some amount of hurt is good, but too much of that can lead to serious injury, and nobody wants that.

Progresso™ Recipe Starters™

8/22: I just signed up with this Campaign through BzzAgent, saw that they make dinner time easier and I CAN'T WAIT to try it!  

I love anything that makes my life and dinner time easier.  I'm not a gourmet cook, but I definitely make it a must that our family sits down to have dinner together every night.  Anything that can make the stress of making dinner go away, I must try!!!

I'll post more when I get the BzzKit and have had a chance to try out the Progresso Recipe Starters.

In the meantime, check out their "Month's Worth of Meal Ideas", the recipes look AMAZING!

UNREAL Candy BzzAgent Campaign!

8/10: I just signed up with this Campaign through BzzAgent, saw that they have the candy at my local Smith's store and am VERY excited to try it!  

There's nothing I love more than chocolate candy, but I'm always feeling guilty about eating it because of all of the junk in it and all of the sugar and fat.  Hopefully this is a good remedy for that... Or  maybe it'll be a bad thing. LOL :)  I can't wait to see what the BzzKit has inside of it!

I'll post more when I get the BzzKit and have had a chance to try out the UNREAL Candy.

Private Selection Taste of Summer Campaign

5/24: I just received my Bzz Kit today for the Private Selection Taste of Summer Campaign from BzzAgent.  Check out all of the FREE and high value coupons!!  I can't wait to go shopping tomorrow to get these goodies.  I already opened the bag of chips, they are absolutely delicious.  I'm sure the bag will be gone by tomorrow, good thing I have a coupon for more! :)

Check out the recipe for Moroccan Burgers with Mint Pepper Glaze on the Kroger Private Selection website.  If you have a Kroger (or Smith's) in your area, you MUST try the Sea Salt Caramel Truffle or the Maine Blueberry Cheesecake ice cream.  Seriously, they're the tastiest, most delicious ice cream flavors I've ever had!

Hill's® Science Diet® Ideal Balance™ Dog Food Trial

3/20: I just signed up with this Campaign through BzzAgent and redeemed my coupon for a FREE 12lb bag of dog food!  I can't wait to get it so we can try it out on the dogs.  

4/2: I have now had a chance to fully integrate it into my dogs' diet and they LOVE it.  They never used to stand around and watch me get their food and now they do, and as soon as I put the bowl down, they clean the bowl!  Very glad I've had a chance to try this dog food for my dogs, I'll definitely be buying it for my dogs.  They love it and seem very happy with the new choice.  Oh, and another huge plus, not as many stinky farts from them anymore! :)

4/6: You can get your own FREE bag of dog or cat food by going here to register and download a rebate form!


4/28: The FREE bag we received from BzzAgent and Hill's Science Diet is now gone.  The dogs both "nom'd" it up and won't even look at their old dog food now...  So I guess we'll be going out to buy more!  Must be good stuff, thanks for the FREE bag :)


Check out the Nutrition Center for dogs, the Hill's Pet Nutrition page on Facebook, and be sure to compare your current dog food on their Comparison Page.

Kindle 3!!!!!

BzzAgent is starting this super cool new thing where you can invite yourself to a campaign.  Today is the Kindle 3!!!  How I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to get my hands on one of those!

I've been trying to find a way to read more, and getting into this campaign would be amazing help!  I know several people who have Kindles and they absolutely love them and have read a TON of books since purchasing the Kindle.

It would also be such an awesome way to get the kids to read more because they can read anywhere without having to haul around several books.  Case in point - we just got back from a trip to AZ and I told them they could only bring one small book because the car is so small and we have limited packing/backseat room.  This would have been PERFECT to take with us for each of them to be able to read as many books as they want... That is, if they could pry it away from me. :)


Please, oh, please BzzAgent, let me be a part of this Kindle 3 Campaign!!!

Now that I've had a chance to download the program and see it in action, I wanted to follow up on the post on the Trend Micro Titanium program that I was able to try out through BzzAgent.


I love this program!  It's blocked all sorts of web threats and kept my computer safe while surfing the internet.  The System Tuner cleared up over 82 MB of space on the computer deleting 6 internet files and over 800 software histories!

Trend Micro Titanium BzzAgent Campaign

I am so excited to try out this BzzAgent campaign!  I've been looking for better internet security for our computers at home and our smartphones, but didn't want to pay the huge price tag that comes with most of the programs.  Going to download it as soon as I get home and will update you on how it works.

Thanks BzzAgent & MobileWalla!

A month or so ago I got an email from BzzAgent stating if you download this MobileWalla app and subscribe to the emails, you could get a $10 gift card to the app store.  I figured, what the heck, looked like a cool app and I get so many emails what's one more?!  I don't buy apps, so a $10 gift card to the app store could be pretty cool. :)

I've used the app a few times, but not on a regular basis.  It is pretty nice how it categorizes the apps from the app store though.

So today I get an email from Amazon.com saying I have a $10 gift card from MobileWalla thanking me for signing up!  SWEET!!! Even better than an app store credit - WAY BETTER!  So I'm pretty stoked.  Thanks BzzAgent & MobileWalla!

Trend Micro SafeSync

 

I joined the Trend Micro SafeSync campaign through BzzAgent a while back but forgot to download/use the software, so I'm going to check it out now.  I've been wanting to do something like this online for a while because our computer has been fried before and we were lucky enough to get everything recovered.  I bought an external hard drive to back things up, but a friend of mine recently told me that her external HD crashed and nothing could be recovered.  So now I'm freaking out - I guess that's why when I got the reminder email from BzzAgent to finish the campaign, I went back to download the software.

The game Cars 2 is out TODAY!!!

The Cars 2 Video Game is finally out today!!  Is it on your shopping list this weekend?  I can't wait to see what it's like.

BzzAgent Cars 2!

Check this out from BzzAgent!! My son would absolutely love this game...  I'm pretty sure that the rest of the family would too.  So excited!  BzzAgent will be launching this campaign soon and I REALLY hope I get to be a part of it.
