Earn Gift Cards For Writing Reviews!

So I've belonged to this site for a while now, a couple of years actually, and recently they have started to offer incentives for writing product reviews. It used to be that every now and again they would offer a $5 Amazon Gift Code for 5 reviews in a given section. Now however they have a points system. Some categories are worth 25 points, some 50, and some 100 points! In the past week I've already earned $10 in Amazon gift codes! As soon as the reviews I wrote last night are approved I should have enough points for another couple codes! The reviews have to be at least 700 characters long, which really isn't all that much to write, especially if you feel strongly one way or the other about a product. There is no incentive for recruiting new members, but I wanted to share the wealth! I for one love Amazon and getting free things from them! Click here to check out Viewpoints!

Save $$ on Utility Bills

A friend recommended this to me a while back but I never really considered trying it until recently. I have to say, I'm totally impressed with how well it works! If you put a dry towel in your dryer with your wet load, you can practically cut drying time in half! I hate when I'm doing laundry and it takes twice as long to run a load through the dryer as it takes to run one through the washer. It just makes for poor time management! With the dry towel added to the dryer my timing is almost perfect! Try it out next time you're doing your laundry! It really does work!!

Earning with NCP

I recently joined a panel called NCP, formerly Homescan. Basically,it works like this: when I shop I use the scanner they sent me and scan all the items I buy. Every now and again they send me a survey to complete. I'm earning rewards points that I'll be able to redeem for all kinds of different gifts. Right now, I'm saving up for an iTunes gift card, but they have other gift cards, kids toys, household items & much more to chose from. This is a legitimate company, no scams. It was simple t set up the scanner and I scan items as I put them away so it really doesn't take much time at all. I've also found an added bonus, because I'm taking the time to scan the items and look at their prices, last week I found that I was overcharged by almost $20 at 2 different stores! (Just FYI it was Kohls and Target.)NCP also sent me a free bag in the mail the other day as an unexpected thank you!
