walmart savings catcher review

#review

UPDATE #2! sadly the bluebird doubling has ended :( 

we can only hope they bring it back in the future.

UPDATE! i just learned you can get an american express bluebird card and DOUBLE your savings catcher rewards! it was super easy to do too. i just applied for the bluebird card (its not a credit card but kind of like a prepaid card) and they mailed it to me. i then transferred my $18 in savings catcher to the card and it doubled to $36. definitely take advantage of this offer!

OMG this is genius! everyone MUST download this app and take advantage of what walmart is offering.

simply put---shop at walmart, scan your receipt, walmart then does all the price checking for you--they actually compare their prices against all the nearby competitors printed and digital sales ads--and if someone had an item cheaper you get credited the difference! how easy is that?

YellowBeaks Window Bird Feeder Review

UPDATE! 

Every since the weather turned cooler I am seeing TONS of birds nibbling in the feeder! seriously, several different birds are taking a quick bite just about every couple minutes. One of my cats just watches in amazement nearly the whole day. They are super quick and it's hard to take a photo but I finally succeeded!

Window Bird Feeder From Yellow Beaks

#yellowbeaks   #review

My take:

I always wanted one of these! What a great idea--to see birds up close right at your window. I love that this bird feeder is completely clear--there's not a bad view to be found. It also holds A LOT of birdseed so you won't be filling it every other day. But probably best of all, because it's suspended midair to your window--those pesky squirrels can't get to it--this perch is all for the birds! I can only imagine the excitement my cats are having when they're home alone watching this bird show.

Join the Viacom My Voice Community!

UPDATE--RECRUITMENT CURRENTLY CLOSED

http://myvoice.viacom.com/recruitment/survey/97

I just joined this community a couple months ago and it is definitely a fun place. If you are a fan of Viacom and their programs---(MTV, VH1, CMT, LOGOtv, Comedy Central, tvLand, Nickelodeon and more)--then this is a community for you!

I have already earned a $5 Amazon giftcard and the discussions, surveys and activities are easy and fun.

The Pink Panel

if you are interested in testing out beauty products and sharing your opinion then definitely sign up for the pinkpanel!

this is a great site for product testing. i have tested anti-aging creams and serums and have gotten PAID (sometimes a check, sometimes an amazon gift card) on top of receiving the products for free. they have frequent screeners for upcoming projects but i noticed i don't always get an email so make sure you like them on fb as well to be in the loop for all open projects.

Sign up with the pinkpanel today!

Ebates--I still cannot believe this site is for real!

I still cannot believe I have earned over $800 from this site--because I didn't do ANYTHING! I buy what I usually buy online--amazon, ebay, kohl's, gap, target, walmart, practically any online retailer you can think of--and i just make sure to click the ebates link before I complete my order. THAT'S IT.

And this is real cash--put in my paypal account 4 times a year. It truly is easy, free money with zero work. If you are one of the few that haven't discovered this goldmine---sign up today and starting making money while you shop!

20/20 Research Panel

this is definitely THE panel to sign up for to score a focus group. they offer tons of them, covering just about every topic imaginable. also like their FB page because i have found many more opportunities are listed there compared to what i receive in email.

of course, taking long screeners is zero fun, and you will fill MANY out trying to snag a spot, but unfortunately that's the process and you will never get chosen for any if you don't try.

E-Jury Review

this site is a very interesting one. sign up to be an 'e-juror' and review an actual court case! submit your feedback,  explain your point of view, and actually say what your verdict would be--PLUS get paid for it.

valued opinions review

this is another site that i can count on every month for a $20 amazon gift card. they send out surveys quite frequently too--i often will get one daily and qualify for probably 70% of them.

they have many gift card reward options, including visa e-cards and pay quickly. i really have nothing bad to say about them other than they take out a small transaction fee for most redemptions and the surveys tend to be longer, averaging 20 minutes (and typically paying $2). i also have only received 1 or 2 product tests from them in almost 2 years time. i have qualified for a handful of 'special projects' though which were interesting and easy to do.

definitely worth signing up and trying out.

Kidzeyes Research Panel Review

a survey panel for your kids! this panel is also a division of C + R Research (check out my earlier post on Parentspeak Online Community) so now both moms, dads, and their kids can take fun surveys and earn cash!

kids ages 6-12, residing in the US, are eligible. surveys are not that frequent, maybe 1-2 a month and there is no minimum threshold to request a check. surveys topics typically are about food, sports, video games or school and are usually 5-15 minutes long. my son doesn't mind them since they are usually about things that interest him and he just LOVES to give his opinion!

check them out!
