Road to $1000 Update

As of today I have passed the $150 mark. I've got numerous cologne samples, some free food, coupons, small nutritional samples, and hair and body samples. In the mail is an amazon gift card and SOBE flipflops which will bring me close to $200 by the time they come.

Just in time for a new semester

Amazon is offering current students 1 year of amazon prime for free! What is amazon prime? Amazon prime is usually $79 a year to purchase and allows prime eligible items free 2 day shipping and upgrades to 1 day shipping for only $3.99. This is a great deal for college students who may not know what books they need for classes until the last minute. Now students can receive their books quicker and cheaper than amazon's regular free super saver shipping. The nice thing about prime also is that you do not need to meet any minimum requirement like the $25 requirement for free super saver shipping. In addition amazon student members get exclusive discounts on a variety of products and categories. Discounts and promotions will be e-mailed to your Amazon.com e-mail account or made available on the Amazon Student membership page at www.amazon.com/student. Eligibility is only to students currently enrolled in a college or university who have a valid .edu e-mail address, which you will need to confirm in order to participate in Amazon Student. To sign up just follow the link here: Sign up for Amazon Student If you have a current amazon account all you need to do is provide your school and major and have a .edu email address. Amazon will send an email to your .edu address within a few minutes and in no time you'll be saving on shipping charges.

Earn more than just points at Mypoints

Everyone loves free stuff, so this post is dedicated to a website I’ve been actively using for over 4 years now. www.mypoints.com is a rewards site where, once signed up, you can receive points for purchases over the internet similar to the bing cash back program. These points can be redeemed for gift cards at popular retailers. Online purchase deals range from receiving 1 point per dollar up to around 5 points per dollar, although they have special offers that may be worth more points. Sometimes you can receive a bulk of points from a first purchase - such as 500 points for signing up for so-so’s service. Don’t want to buy online? Don’t worry. You can still earn points for signing up for different interests and receiving emails for those interests. Once you receive the email just click the link and voila – you’ve received 5 points. Also available on their website are coupons powered by coupons.com. The nice thing about these coupons is not only are you saving money through the coupons, you also earn points for each coupon that is redeemed. Personally my big point earner through my years at Mypoints has been the frequent customer survey’s that you receive through email. The surveys can range from 10-15 points if you do not qualify for the complete survey and 25-100 points if you do. A full survey can range from 15 to 45 minutes, and can be almost any topic. This is a great opportunity to be part of market research as you can give your opinion on products and ads way before they hit mainstream. Once you’ve racked up some points you can redeem them for gift cards. Many mainstream websites (Amazon, iTunes, FTD) and brick and mortar store (Wal-Mart, target, GameStop, best buy, home depot) gift cards are available as well an array of restaurants (Applebee’s, McDonalds, red lobster) and gas stations (BP, Shell).





It takes about 1600 points for a $10 gift card and 3600 points for a $25 gift card.
