I'm going to start a new monthly post with the running totals of the various reward programs I belong to. I got the idea from Julia at Couponing to be Debt Free, who does a really great weekly post detailing her totals for each week. I know that I'm a bit of a slacker, so I'm only aiming for a month-end total:-)
Here are the tallies as of yesterday for some of the reward programs I've signed up with:
MyPoints - 1,630 points
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 - 181 points/$18.10
I'm really liking this program. I've only been a member since the end of June, and already I'm up to almost $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.

Ebates - $5.91/total Cash Back since joining in 2003: $147.29
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 - 24 Swag Bucks (because I spent a lot on SwagStakes entries this month). Relatively new to this program. I like it, with the only exception being that the optional toolbar crashes my Firefox browser because it runs a script that apparently freezes in FireFox. You can sign up here if you're not already a member:

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
