For today's tip, I'll be singing the praises of a website. Some of you may already be familiar with the site, but those of you who aren't will thank me. MyPoints is a website that allows you to earn points that, in turn, earn you FREE STUFF! I mean it, totally free. With very little effort on your part.
Sign up, and you can immediately begin earning points. It's easy. Have BonusMail sent to your inbox, and you can get points by taking part in the offer (buying the product, starting an account at the sponsor's website, etc.) or just earn 5 points for clicking a link to the sponsor's website. I earn most of my points simply by clicking the links. Another benefit of receiving the BonusMail is to learn about various services and companies out there that you may not know about.
Another easy way to earn mega points is to shop online with MyPoints sponsors, many of which you're already spending your money with! For example, you'll earn 2 points for every dollar spent at eBay, 4 points per dollar at CircuitCity, and 10 points per dollar at Overstock.com.
What can you do with your points, you ask? Lots. Depending on how many points you have and how good you are at saving them. I, unfortunately, like to spend mine instead of saving up for something big. I just sent for a $25 Walgreen's gift card, and it cost me 3600 points. So I'll be getting my kids' back-to-school supplies for free! It's been my experience that it usually only takes 2 - 3 weeks for cards to arrive in the mail. There are lots of awesome things you can get with your points. I've used past points to get gift cards to Toys R Us, Omaha Steaks, and Regal Cinemas! Visit MyPoints. It's worth checking out!
