When I started memolink years ago, I was appalled at how much junk mail I got. There was another one, PandaResearch, which was ten times worse. These barely pay and the amount of junk mail you get makes it not worthwhile. However, there are other survey sites and places that do end up paying for the time invested.
One of my favorite is the Upromise surveys. While the surveys boast that you make $4, $10 or even $15 on completing a survey, that isn’t the exact money you get. You make a certain amount of money to be able to request a deposit to go into your Upromise account. While it used to be $100 to get $50, it is now $120 to get that. However, it’s still extra money that is saved. What many don’t know about Upromise is that you can request a check to be mailed to you so you can use the cash for whatever purpose that you need.
The second thing that I do is actually take part in the surveys offered by retail stores and restaurants. While it’s only $3 off of Petsmart, it’s still $3 less I have to fork over for dog food. The Chik-fil-a coupons for a free sandwich or meal are also worthwhile to save the $3-4 I was going to fork over anyway. So pay attention to the stores that offer money off by completing surveys. A few minutes worth of time is worth the effort.
