Want to take surveys for cash and/or gift cards but want to use sites that actually work? So far I have liked the following surveys sites enough to read the emails (or simply sign in), sign up, take the surveys, and get the points. Any site that offers Paypal cards basically offer cash, because you can send a PayPal credit straight to your bank account.
SURVEYS:
www.mysurvey.com
MySurvey is one of my favorite survey sites. It only send emails to users that will qualify, and even though there may not be as many surveys to take, you can join this site, do a survey when available, and it doesn't take up much time. You can also earn 150 points for referring a person to MySurvey, which can be done through email on the site. I have continued to use this site for over 6 months, and have quite a bit in points to show for it. The emails aren't annoying, but I still get an invitation for a survey 1 or 2 times a week. Highly recommend this site! I will gladly send anyone interested an email invitation, referrals are sent by email and give 150 points.
epollsurveys.com
Epoll is very similar to MySurvey. An email invite is sent out for a survey, again only to those who qualify. I've done many surveys on this site about television shows, and have gotten to watch 30 minute clips of shows that haven't come out yet. The surveys are easy, the website is organized, and I actually enjoy a lot of the surveys as they are more interesting than some. Epoll also requires an email for a referral.
www.myview.com
MyView offers a range of points for each survey (usually 400-1200) and 100 points for each survey that you attempt but do not qualify. Spend 10 minutes "not qualifying" and you will have 1000 points. Simple, easy, not too many emails. A referral will earn 1,000 points, and members earn an entry to a sweepstakes just by logging in every day. If I refer ONE more person, I can be an "Affiliate Member" and post a referral link to my blog, earning points for anyone who clicks on the link and completes a survey.
MySurvey, Epoll, and MyView are the only survey sites that I have been able to keep up with (and tolerate) the number of emails sent.
These are my definite top 3. It does take some time to fill out the information, but it's still a significant amount of money to earn while watching television. Planning a large purchase? Earn it on Swagbucks or the above survey sites. It's free money, and you will actually get paid. Who knew there were 3 of these sites that are legit?
More survey sites to come later, maybe, but these three are definitely worth it.
*Swagbucks is not included in this review because even though the site offers points for surveys, the site also offers points for watching videos, signing up for offers, joining email subscriptions, using the search engine, doing tasks, codes found throughout the site, the daily poll, ect., and I have already written a blog about it. Interested? Sign up *here* or through the link on the previous blog post. Just want surveys? That's why I left it out.
*Inbox Dollars is not included for the same reason as Swagbucks. See other blog posts. :)
Please see my blog on Inbox Dollars, or click to sign up *here* Earn $5 just for signing up, cash out at $30.

Inbox Dollars
Here is my most recent way to make money online:
Inbox Dollars give you cash credit for reading emails, taking surveys, using their search engine, and completing offers. I just started a little over a month ago, only do things while I am bored, and already have almost $16. Every little bit helps.
Here is my referral link: http://www.inboxdollars.com/?r=ref15103144
The Inbox Dollars images are available below, but to sign up, please click the referral link above. :) Questions? Feel free to comment. ~Melanie

Swagbucks: Internet boredom cure with benefits; Scam?
I LOVE this site! I like the surveys, easy to play internet games, coupons, and special offers. If I am wasting time on the internet while watching television, I might as well get points for it that will later get me gift cards (and much more!). Free money! I've only been a member since February 8, 2013, and I already have enough points for a $15 Amazon gift card, and have been seriously considering using 500 points for a Starbucks e-Gift card, because due to Swagbucks, I know Starbucks has a promotion right now requiring registration of a gift card- and they give you a $5 credit! So, essentially, I can get a $10 credit for 500 points. Not a bad idea, right? (Note: Swagbucks gives you a code to load onto a gift card, so you have to have one to start, Starbucks minimum denomination: $5. I'll buy the card, and then get my money back, +$5.)
I like being rewarded for the time I waste on the internet. Period.
I use it as my main search for the points, and you can always find what you are looking for, but Google is obviously a better search engine. You don't get points for gift cards to Ebay, Amazon, Starbucks, CVS, Target, ect. for using Google though!
My best advice: use an old email address that you have access to, or sign up with mail.com and create a new one.
Earning points with special offers requires signing up with different things (coupon emails, newsletters with deals, become a member of Company A, B, or C and receive emails with current promotions...) I don't mind going through the emails to find things I am interested in, have access to TONS OF COUPONS, and you can always unsubscribe with the links on the bottom of the email.
Also, you get swagbucks for shopping on almost any website! I bought a memory foam mattress topper for my bed off overstock.com, and ended up with over 700 SB! (Enough for a $5 gift card + on a product I was buying anyway.) If you shop online a lot, you should sign up just for the bonuses of shopping points.
Sign up HERE! We will share the first 1,000 points if you get a referral, so click HERE! and get 1,000 points from me for doing nothing, which will be a $10 gift card! It's fun & rewarding, try it out!
(Update 3-27-13: As you can see in my swidget, I have 7,500 SB, or enough to get a $75 gift card! I'm halfway to purchasing a new tablet already!) (Update 5-4-13: I have 13,780SB but used 2,500 for a $25 Target Gift Card. The gift card works fine, and I can say with certainty that I have cashed in my SB for a gift card, it works, and you actually get what you earn- NOT A SCAM! Also, I have yet to get any viruses, but I swear by Kaspersky. Knock on wood. If this convinces you, sign up here: ) (Update 7-25-13: Total SB to date- 28,231. Once I downloaded Swagbucks TV and EnteraiNow TV apps on my tablet, I easily earn at least a dollar per day just by letting my tablet play through videos. These apps are a great way to earn more Swagbucks!)

6 Products to Love
Tea Tree Oil:
Yeah, it smells strong. Kind of like the patchouli smell of your favorite hippie friend mixed with Pinesol. But it works. My skin has been clearer in an amazingly short amount of time. Ohio's lovely warm to cold to freezing to warm again weather has wreaked havoc on my skin, along with a little stress, and it's been quite a disaster. Tea tree oil has been amazing. A very small amount goes a long way. I wash my face first, and the tea tree oil ALWAYS picks up extra dirt on the cotton ball that the cleanser didn't. Makes me wonder how much dirt I've been missing all these years...
*Drug store brand http://www.cvs.com/shop/product-detail/CVS-100-Tea-Tree-Oil?skuId=829984
Witch Hazel:
I put it on top of the tea tree oil, which stings a little bit, but always makes my skin feel clean and tighter. It's also been helping to clear my skin. I'm usually not one of those people that use all natural products. When recently taking a survey, the statement was, "I always try to use natural products," and I clicked Strongly Disagree. So if you think the natural thing is just weird, just try it. It might work.
*Drug store brand
http://www.cvs.com/shop/product-detail/CVS-Witch-Hazel?skuId=152702
*Update: I started using the Witch Hazel daily, and use the Tea Tree on top every few days. It worked even better!
Dry Shampoo:
Another weird product that works. It goes on like the cheap hair color spray that everyone used at football games in high school or on Halloween to have Orange hair. It kind of goes on like white spray paint, even though it's powder in an aerosol can. Spray on, brush out (carefully, so it all disappears), and your hair looks clean. My best friend asked me if it actually works. I told her I use it pretty often when I don't feel like showering so I look clean, but I wouldn't try to do my hair for a night out and wear my hair down. The explanation seemed to work.
*'Not Your Mother's' Dry Shampoo http://www.cvs.com/shop/product-detail/Not-Your-Mothers-Clean-Freak-Refreshing-Dry-Shampoo?skuId=870124
Nail Hardener:
I've chewed my nails my entire life. I had real nails for my friend Erika's wedding, and started chewing them again shortly after. Somehow, around age 25, I accidentally grew out one nail, and then managed to grow out the rest. My nails rip, chip, bend, and are extremely soft. Then, I found Quimica Alemana Nail Hardener. It's clear nail polish that makes your nails crazy strong. I have to stop using it sometimes because they get TOO hard. It's an amazing product. The downside? It contains Formaldehyde, which is known to cause cancer. The FDA has put a pretty tight restriction on the amount allowed in the nail polish (less than 5% formaldehyde), but obviously, it's a choice to make. Other downside? If you just got acrylics taken off, it will burn the skin under your nail. So follow the directions, use wisely, and make sure you get the real stuff (there are tons of knock offs).

Moisturizer:
People always talk about how important moisturizer is. I've always thought putting moisturizer on oily skin seemed like an oxy moron. Simple Light Hydrating moisturizer has been awesome. It is all natural, coincidentally, but it works great. Doesn't feel oily, goes on light, and moisturizes without causing extra breakouts. There is also a Simple Hydrating Moisturizer for people that do have dry skin and need the extra, uh, moisture. Some form of the word moist is in every sentence in this paragraph, and I do not know how to fix it.

*** Added Bonus: this site usually has coupons, and can also be found almost everywhere else on the internet.
Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Aging Detoxifying Pore Scrub Cleanse:
I made "5 Products to Love", and was already using this face wash, but I limited myself to 5. I love/use this product every day and at age 26, I do not need anti-aging products yet, but it tightens my skin and minimizes pores. It doesn't dry my combination skin out, controls breakouts with salicylic acid, and the beads scrub away dead skin. A 5 star product, and relatively inexpensive. It's often buy 1 get 1 50% off at CVS- add some Extra Bucks and it's a good deal, or keep an eye out for specials at your favorite place to shop. It's a P&G product, so there many different promotions. (Sidenote: never buy a P&G product at full price. Find coupons, or wait until it's on sale!)
