MySurvey.com Website Review

This is my third review on websites that you can earn money/free stuff from online.  I am trying to bring you the credible websites that I have actually tried and had success from so you can hopefully stay away from the Scam Websites.

I have been with MySurvey.com for about a year and a half, and I think it's a great way to make a little extra money.  As you can probably tell from the name of the website, you take surveys.  They send the surveys to your email or you can go directly to the website.  I receive about 1 survey every few days.
When you take the survey, they ask you some questions to see if you qualify.  Usually just basic questions...How old are you? Do you have kids? Male or Female? etc, etc. If you qualify, you take the survey and will receive points.  Sometimes the surveys are for 30 points, sometimes they are for 300 points or anywhere in between.  It just depends on the length of the survey mostly.  If you don't qualify you still receive 5 points.
When you get enough points, you can exchange them for rewards.  As of right now, I have exchanged my points 3 different times for $20 in paypal money (Costs 2200 Points).  Receiving $60 into my Paypal account for just taking surveys is not too shabby, I think.  And I don't even take every survey they send me.  Sometimes I get busy and I just don't have time to take every one.  If I was, I probably would be receiving even more rewards.  But rewards aren't just limited to Paypal. You can recieve Blue-Ray DVDs, Amazon E-Certificates, Gift Cards, Kids Toys, or you can even donate to a charity.  There are many, many, many other rewards as well.
Besides just the rewards, every once in awhile, to go along with my survey I receive a product to try.  After I try it, I take another survey which I receive points for also.
I really like this website.  I have heard of alot of rewards-type websites that when you start cashing in your points and receiving rewards, the surveys start slowing down or you never qualify for anything.  This is not true with MySurvey.  I receive the same amount of surveys as I did when I first started and I still qualify for a good amount of them.  I am looking at my survey history right now, and it looks like about every 2-5 surveys, I qualify for 1.  But remember, it's different for everyone considering they go off specific things about yourself.
I think it's one of the best survey sites I have tried.
If you have also tried MySurvey, tell me how you like it.

Inbox Dollars Website Review

This is my second review on websites that you can earn money/free stuff from online.  I am trying to bring you the credible websites that I have actually tried and had success from so you can hopefully stay away from the Scam Websites.

I have been with Inbox Dollars for over a year, and I have not had any problems with them at all.  There are many ways to earn cash on Inbox Dollars.  You can do so by Shopping online, playing games on their site, taking surveys, printing out and using printable grocery coupons, watching videos, doing Free offers (like signing up for other sites), and opening emails.

Just for joining, they start you off with $5, which I think is great.

The ways I have earned money are mostly the opening emails and shopping online.  I have done a few free offers by signing up for a few sites but there wasn't too much I was interested in.  Also I used to take surveys but most of them I didn't qualify for so I just stopped taking them.  I did qualify for some but I have many websites that I take surveys from so I needed to drop some of them to continue to have a life...

Anyways, so I will tell you more in depth about the things I do but just remember, there are other ways mentioned above to earn more money that I don't do so if those things interest you, feel free to try them.

Opening Emails :  I receive about 1-5 Inbox Dollar Emails a day.  You click on the email then inside the email there is a button to click to confirm you read the email.  The emails are for a specific website, Walmart, Ebay, other companies I have never heard of, Etc. and for each email you confirm, you receive 2 cents in your Inbox dollar account.

Shopping Online :  There are many, many, many websites that you can shop online with to earn money in your Inbox Dollars Account.  Some are well known like Walmart, Target, Kohl's, Kmart, Sears, etc. and there are some that you may have never heard of.  With each website you buy from you have a certain percentage that you can earn back that goes into your inbox dollars account.  For example, if you purchase items from the Old Navy Website, you can earn 4% of your purchase back. 

The most percent back I have seen on the website was 20% and the least I have seen was 0.75% back.  But if it is stuff you were going to purchase anyways, then who cares.  It's money back.

To cash out, you must reach at least $30.  They charge a $3 processing fee for the check.

I have cashed out one time so far, so I received a check for $27.55 because my account balance was $30.55.  The first time you receive a check, it takes about 1-2 months to receive it, and your account must stay active during that 1-2 months, but after you receive your first check, you are upgraded to a Gold Member and one of the benefits of being a Gold Member is that your check is processed 3-9 days after you request it.

I am about half way to my second cash out but that is mostly because the only thing I am doing right now to earn money is opening emails.  I haven't really made any purchases lately or done anything else.  The more you do on this site, the more you earn and the faster you earn it.

The only thing that they really ask of you is that you keep your account active by doing something.  If your account is inactive for 6 months, they will delete it and you will lose all your earnings.  However, if this happens, you are free to start up a new account, and they will give you the $5 again into your account.

I have not had any problems with Inbox Dollars, and I recommend them and will continue working with them.  You aren't going to get rich or be able to quit your job but it's a little extra money for doing something free that takes hardly no time at all.  Some people say it's a waste of time because it takes so long to earn the money but like I said, the more you do the more you earn and it only takes a few minutes a day.  When you do finally get enough to cash out, that is just extra money in your pocket.

Swagbucks Website Review

The internet is full of scams.  And unfortunately, the internet is full of trusting people who fall for these scams.  So I wanted to do a series of reviews on websites that you can either earn money on or earn points to "buy" items that I have actually tried and have turned out to be legit websites.

First up!


I have been with Swagbucks for over a year, and I have been very pleased with them.  The idea of Swagbucks is you download a "Swagbucks Toolbar" that you can use to search items, just like you would google, yahoo, or any of the other search bars, except when you make searches on your Swagbucks toolbar, you will receive points or "swagbucks" for doing so.  You don't receive Swagbucks for every search you make, it's kind of just random.  Some searches will yeild 5 Swagbucks, others will yeild 50+ Swagbucks or anywhere in between.  That's random as well.

Also worth noting, EVERY Friday is Mega Swagbucks day.  On Fridays, you have a bigger chance at getting a higher amount of Swagbucks.  Yay!

Now, when you get enough Swagbucks, you can "purchase" items with them.  You could "purchase" things like Jewelry, Amazon Gift Cards, video game systems, TVs, Paypal Money etc., etc., etc.  Of  course the more expensive things like TVs, you will have to save your swagbucks a long time for.  But you can get $5 on Amazon for 450 Swagbucks.  That might seem expensive for only $5, but if you think about it, you are getting these things for something you are doing anyways, just making searches. It's almost effortless.

I have had enough money to get $20 in Paypal money so far but now I am saving up for something bigger...but I haven't decided what yet.

And one thing I really like about Swagbucks is that they don't spam you with useless emails.  In fact, I hardly ever receive an email from them, and most of the time when I do, they will have a Swagbucks code at the bottom that you can go to their website, enter and receive bonus Swagbucks.

I haven't had any problems with Swagbucks and will continue to use them.  If you would like to sign up (it's free, of course) you can click HERE!
