    Default Internet Rewards/Points Programs

    Does anyone participate in online rewards/points programs? Some of the ones that I am members of are:

    www.mypoints.com
    www.memolink.com
    www.netflip.com
    www.startsampling.com

    They are a great way to earn gift certificates, cash, and free samples, which helps to supplement the income. I also do surveys for some companies and get compensated for my time. Very curious to see others' responses!

    I ordered a gc from epoll back in October and I haven't received it yet. First they told me 8-10 weeks, then when I pointed out it had been longer than that, they said 12-16 weeks. I don't think I'll be getting it. For now, no more surveys until they pay up.

    I'm close on mypoints to a Toys R Us gc-I will cash out then too.

    I have alot of Blink points, but not close enough to cash out. Now all of their points are mostly 5's.

    I think these rewards programs promised too much from the beginning, and now they don't want to pay up. JMO.. good luck with the ones you do!

    I used to do tons of them, but now I just do My Points and Ebates when I shop online.

    I do mypoints and a few surveys. I got lucky a few weeks ago and did a survey on those box dinners where all you do is add meat, after I did it, they sent me a new version for pork chops and a $5.00 coupon for buying the porkchops to try it oput and do a survey on how it was.

    I used to do so many. Now I just do MyPoints and StartSampling. I do OK on some of the survey sites too. Not as good as the old days though!

    I do mypoints and NFO. I got LOTS of $10 checks from NFO for awhile, but I don't get so many surveys to do anymore. I guess they checked how much they had actually paid me and weren't thrilled. I just recently signed up with mypoints and wasn't awarded points I had earned, so we went back and forth for awhile. I'm still awaiting the points to be credited to my account. I find it a very easy program, overall, though. Just click on the email and get points! Gotta love that!
