Best Survey and Rewards Sites for Earning Money, Gift Cards and Prizes

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Like the idea of earning cash, prizes and gift cards for taking shopping surveys, playing games, searching the web, watching videos and even reading emails? Me too! While you won’t get rich, you CAN bank enough to treat yourself and the fur kids to some nice treats from time to time…or save up lots of small rewards until you bank enough for something big. It’s fun, and only takes a few minutes a day. I got my iPad and hubby’s Kindle Fire by saving up all the $5 and $10 rewards I earned last year! I also frequently receive samples and full-size products to test and keep.

earn cash and rewards for taking surveys

Here’s a list of some of my favorite site to earn money and other rewards…just remember that you’ll get LOTS of emails and offers to participate so it’s a good idea to use a dedicated email address for all your signups so you can keep them out of your regular inbox if that’s important to you. Also, legitimate survey sites will never ask you for a credit card to join. A few shopping sites will, so only signup for ones you feel comfortable with:

Pinterest for Beginners: Free Kindle Edition ($2.99 reg)

Pinterest for Beginners

Two things I love are Pinterest and FREE e-books from Amazon! Today I spotted Pinterest For Beginners, Kindle Edition which is usually $2.99 and is currently being offered for $0.00.

If you’ve been missing all the PIN-tastic fun because you just weren’t sure how to get started with Pinterest, make sure you download this book while it’s free. Be sure to check the total before completing your “purchase” since Amazon rotates which books they are giving away every few days. I just snagged this one myself, so I can’t tell you much about it yet, except the reviews are great!

Don’t worry if you don’t have a Kindle. You can read Kindle editions on any smartphone, iPad or tablet, PC, Laptop or other web-enabled device. All you need is a free Kindle Reading App for your Windows, Apple or Android device!
