Legit Mystery Shopping

I'm looking to get a few more mystery shoppers on my team. I have mystery shopped for over 4 years and while this will in no way replace your full time job, you will be able to earn money for doing the things you already do, like oil changes, meals, small shopping trips, even concerts. There is a significant demand for chevy / GMC cars to get oil changes. You will be paid within 14 days and they pay for the entire cost of the oil change plus some pocket change for you!



ACE


BestMark  DESPERATELY needs Oil Changes for Chevy/Cadillac in the Temecula/Escondido Area, enter: CA25472 as the referrer. 



please please please do not ever do a shop that requires a western union or a check deposit, those are scams 10000% of the time. Feel free to email or text me to ask any questions you may have.



Here's a video from Bestmark regarding their free automotive service

Quick Holiday Cash

here's a round up of some of the ways i'm padding my holiday shopping fund:

Microworkers: get paid for random tasks. Like a company on facebook, get $0.45, share on twitter, get $0.55. Amounts vary per task, but they add up quickly.

TapBooty: get paid to download and open apps on your smartphone or tablet. Keeping the apps after opening is not required. Download and open 10 apps could be $2.00, cash out via amazon or paypal within the same day.

Bestmark: Since you are going to be out shopping anyways, why not make some of the money back that you are spending. Have to travel for the holidays, get paid to get your car serviced before you go. This company pays within 2 weeks of shop completion, so you could, potentially, shop up until the 10th of December and get the money by Christmas. I did three cosmetic shops and a date night, all paid for by them.

PaidViewpoint:  Get paid for your opinions, nice way to make sure you have some money coming in January to pay the December credit card bills.

Opinion Outpost: Be careful with this one, evaluate if they are compensating you enough for your time. do not do 45 min surveys for 5 points.. Cash out via paypal!

Ebates: Get paid quarterly for any shopping you do online. check with ebates before you order and watch the cash back add up. I've earned $1,341.73 to date with them.

Seeking Secret Shoppers

i need to get some referral credits for mystery shopping. If you have a Chevy, GMC or a Caddy, they will pay you for your service visits and some extra cash too. You can also get paid to shop at a local drug store :) This company rocks, pays out via check and pays out quick. They paid for us to go to a concert and bought us beer too ;)

Ebates = Perfect Timing

Received another $41.32 from  Ebates today, I love it! i know there are sites out there that pay faster but my lifetime earnings at Ebates and the lack of trouble in processing rewards can't be beat. I can even earn on ebay and amazon shopping. Ebates Coupons and Cash Back. Total cash back since joining is now at :

• Total Cash Back:$1,290.31

So if you are shopping online and not using ebates, you are throwing away free money. I did nothing more than go to ebates first, then shop like normal at my stores. I even got cash back when I used my store credit card at places like Old Navy.


From their website: Ebates is the pioneer and leader of online cash back shopping. ebates pays members cash back every time they shop online as well as provide them with the best coupons and deals online. Founded in 1998, ebates has paid over $85,000,000 in cash to its members. That's why over 12 million people have joined ebates, and we're excited you are ready to start earning cash back, too. Here's how simple it really is:

Each store offers a different cash back percentage. Just look at the percentage next to the store name on the Ebates site to see how much savings you will earn. I travel frequently and so every time I book at hotel room at Hotels.com, i log into ebates first and click the hotels.com link. Then not only do I earn 1 free night for every 10 stayed at hotels.com but I also earn up to 4% cash back for traveling.

Plink Nation

I'm not sure how comfortable you are with online reward sites, but i LOVE them.I have no problem sharing my card info IF the site is secure, like consumer say or Plink or a few others..

here's a great offer from Plink


1. Sign up for Plink and register a credit or debit card

2. Use your debit or credit card like you normally would. Log in weekly to see which offer seems good to you and earn FREE Plink Points. Redeem your points for gift cards at locations that include Overstock, Amazon, Red Cross Donation, Zappos, Barnes & Noble and many others..

Opinion Outpost

While this site is not my favorite in terms of ease of qualifications or payment for time spent, they are a consistent payer and i cash out twice a month via paypal. Be sure your paypal is verified, or your payment will be delayed. Carefully evaluate if the time required for a survey (which is always a low estimate) is worth your time. often times for me, they are not.I require $0.10 a minute, so 10 minutes must be at least $1.00 for me.. You can set your own payment terms and see what the lowest you are willing to work for is.

Here's the direct link.

Quick Apps that make real $$

So the year is winding down and surveys are paying less than they used to. I only made about $3,000 this year, or about $260 a month, which is my lowest year yet. Good thing I've added some other sidelines in. Here are the apps I'm using to generate some quick cash with NO out of pocket fees.

Endorse: This app pays you instantly via paypal for items you probably are already buying at the store. The percentage increases on a few items weekly, and you can earn up to 100% cash back, just for shopping. I make sure to scan all my receipts and I get to donate money to local schools via DonorsChoose.org too. Plus, I've already made over $30 with them. Not bad for a lil over 3 weeks of scanning..

IBotta :Very similar to Endorse, but you can earn more per item by doing mini quizzes. Also has $5 min payout via paypal.

FreeMyApps: this only works if you have access to an android or an iphone and are connected to a network. You download the apps they have selected, play with the app for 30 seconds, and get rewards. you can cash out for a variety of items, but I always choose amazon. Cashed out $15 today via amazon for downloading the apps of the day.

and who could forget Viggle:
I have earned over $455 this year in gift cards from watching tv and checking into shows. Be sure to check out forums that track bonus shows and check into the major shows and rentals possible. I'm fortunate to have DirecTv and get a ton of bonuses that way. There have been some major changes, like constant price increases, but overall, I'm still getting paid to watch tv and have my phone nearby. I then take those gift cards from CVS and coupon crazy to get almost all my personal needs for free, if not cash back.

New FAV App

Not only am I deeply in love with this app, now I can earn money sharing it with you guys. Its new on the market and i'm sure related to marketing BUT they pay you for your receipts. I coupon and am always looking for a way to get just a lil bit more back. this is the way. All you have to do is scan your receipt after you shop, that's it. I got paid $4.00 cash back for getting gas, ANY gas.. There are hot items every week and if you buy them on a submitted receipt, you can get up to 100% cash back. You can get more cash back by sharing the deals on facebook, stuff you already do anyways. Right now, they are even giving points that can be used on DonorsChoose.org, so win win win for all involved.



What is Endorse?

Free mobile app for your iPhone or Android
Get personalized product offers from leading consumer brands.
Upload an image of your receipt and get cash back.
Use it every time you shop, anywhere you buy.
Earn points for every single receipt to fund local school projects at DonorsChoose.org.

Ebates is always punctual!

Got my Big Fat Ebates payment! This quarters total? a sad and lonely 41.29 but free money is always welcome at my house!!
Grand Total Ebates earnings? $1119.67.

Its completely ridiculous to me that some people shop out there and don't use Ebates. There is no fee, no extra work really on your part, just a simple click through. Have to order from Staples? Click through Ebates and earn 2% cash back, EVEN if you already have a staples account. Have to book a hotel, click through Ebates and earn up to 15% cash back.

Want to order those shoes you saw but don't feel like going back to the store, click through Ebates and have them delivered, earn up to 15% cash back. Yes, you have to wait a lil bit for it, but hey, since its free money, what's the harm in waiting. I joined Ebates in 2008, and didn't really use it that often. Now when I have to book rooms for my tech's at work, i earn 3% cash back on top of the rewards my company earns on the amex card. Its free money for me and them!

Fresh n Easy BzzKit

so I received my bzzkit yesterday and love the bag plus the coupon, but i'm a bit disappointed by the shareables. They gave me four (4) friends cards to share with friends, that come preloaded with 250 (2.50) points for the Friends Program. That's a nice deal, halfway to redeeming your first $5.00 off at Fresh and Easy. Only one problem, its the same deal you get if you walk in off the street and sign up for a fresh and easy friends card. There is not much incentive to handing these out to people, they can get the same thing at the store.

Secret Shoppers Needed!

if you have a Cadillac, Buick, GMC or Chevy, you are desperately needed to complete an auto service secret shop, especially in CA or NV. These shops can not only pay you back for the service you have done, BUT pay you cash on top of that.

Secret Shopping
I get paid to go to concerts, get my oil changed, go grocery shopping, play at regular stores. All reimbursed and paid for by someone else! Here are some of the sites I'm currently using:

BestMark - Referral ID CA25472- does concerts, electronics retailers, oil changes, and much more.


Intelli-shop - high volume of call at home shops, new ones each day. Pays via paypal.

QAMS - tons of lil shops requiring less than 45 minutes for completion. Get in, Get out, get paid.

Service Sleuth High Profile shops, like movie theaters, mall shops, oil changes, a car building shop, etc

Check out volition.com if you ever have any questions regarding the validity of these companies. I only do a few companies and I prefer those that pay via paypal. If I know I have to get an oil change, or I'll be at a certain store, I'll check the job boards before I go, so I can get reimbursed for something I was going to do anyways.
If you are asked who referred you, please put my name or id if provided. thanks!

Paid to COUPON! I love it

Mypoints has been sending me bonus point mails that are worth a whoooping 1000 points each. A $10 gift card can be had for 1600 points, so these are significant coupon trips. I've done two of the three and I just received an email saying i'd get a 1000 point bonus if i do the 3rd one.. I'm so tempted but it requires going to walmart (which i loathe) and buying bug spray at almost $12 out of pocket. I know i'll be getting the $10 gift card but what to do with bug spray? i dont use it because i have cats. hmmm so tempting!

Best of all, I'm earning MyPoints for using and telling you about these free things. On Mypoints I can take surveys, shop, print grocery coupons and much more, earning gift cards for everything that I do!

Paid to Coupon:

Swagbucks
Mypoints
Inbox Dollars

Free Auto Visits!

Do you know I haven't paid for an oil change or service in over three years? How, you ask? Well I secret shop and get someone else to pay for it. I'll go and visit the store, front the money, report on my interactions and then get repaid for it! Right now they are looking for GMC Ford and Chevy owners who would like to have their vehicles serviced. Simply go to BestMark.com say you were referred by CA25472 and we can both get bonuses! Bestmark pays within 30 days (super fast for mystery shoppers) and pays via check so no paypal fees to worry about. There are looking for shoppers across the country and also provide secret shopping for a major electronics retailer, if you'd like to go shop for a new tv or smart phone, some with no purchase requried.

Earn Cash Back Shopping

So its almost as good as using coupons, but it hasn't' caught on as much. If you shop at all online, you need to be using a shopping portal such as Ebates or Shop At Home. All these sites ask is that you click through them before going to your shopping destination. In return, they will give you a percentage of your order back in cash. They don't pay that quick, typically once a quarter and there is some waiting involved, but since its free money back, why not wait for it. I've been with Ebates since 2008 and have earned..... $871 and change.  There are very few sites that aren't online and I find that you can also use them for the specials that the coupon people you are following offer up as well. So not only are you paying rock bottom prices, you are earning cash back on top of it.  I haven't used Shop At Home as much, but I will be receiving my first check in Feb for all my Christmas shopping I completed. Also, new members on Ebates get a $5 to $10 joining bonus with your first purchase.. Any office managers out there or authorized purchasers for companies, it works on Office Depot and Staples too! Travel buffs, check out the hotel and car rental area, get paid cash back on booking your vacations.

 

Here's a picture of my earnings on Ebates  and for all fellow bloggesr, they are offering referral contests for ipads and cash money.
