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.

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:
