Reward Program Tallies - As of August 31, 2010

I'm a bit late getting this posted, but here are the tallies as of August 31st for some of the reward programs I've signed up with:
MyPoints - 2,145 points (+515 points from 7/31/2010)
I've been a member since 1997, and have been very satisfied with the program. Most of the rewards I've earned have been from clicking on their e-mails and answering surveys. My current balance is pretty much as of January 2010, because I tend to cash them out around the holidays. You can sign up here  if you're not already a member, and would like to help me earn some referral points.

Opinion Outpost - 236 points/$23.60 (+55 points/$5.50 from 7/31/2010)
I'm really liking this program. I've only been a member since the end of June, and already I've requested and received my first reward check for $20.00.

You get reward points for answering surveys, and 10 reward points = $1.00. You can request a check as soon as you reach the $5.00 mark. I think I'm going to save mine for some holiday shopping money. (You can sign up here http://OpinionOutpost.com/join/8290461 if you're not already a member, and would like to help me earn some referral points.)

Ebates - $8.07/total Cash Back since joining in 2003: $149.45 (up $2.16 from 7/31/2010)
Another program that I've been a member of for several years. I think I would've earned more money in the past if I had only remembered to shop through the Ebates web site, which I wasn't very good at remembering to do:-) Good offers - discounts, coupons and cash back on purchases. (You can sign up here http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=cyZb9mJ1daY%3D if you're not already a member, and would like to help me earn some referral points.)

Swag Bucks - 46 Swag Bucks (because I spent a lot on SwagStakes entries this month) (+22 Swag Bucks from 7/31/2010). The small increase is due largely to my not being very active in August. You can sign up here if you're not already a member: http://swagbucks.com/refer/CouponizerCarol

CashBaq - 0 because I haven't been very active on this one, although I'm moving more in their direction. You can sign up here http://www.cashbaq.com/?refer=430400 if you're not already a member and want to throw some referral credits my way:-)

Back After Taking a Breather

I'm back after taking a bit of a breather. Not that I wasn't busy, I just haven't been focusing on my coupons, freebies, etc. much lately. But, now I'm back.

I've also signed up with BzzAgent, a word-of-mouth media and marketing company. Here's a brief description from their web site:

We're a network of volunteer consumers who participate in word-of-mouth (WOM) campaigns. We're a community of communicators. We try products and services, form honest opinions about them, share those opinions with people we know and then provide feedback to engage in genuine dialogue with companies.

WOM is a no-obligation, no-nonsense and no-pressure thing. And most importantly, it's fun. You get to learn about new stuff and make your voice heard by some of the biggest companies in the world.
