Reward sites VS money making sites ...what is your opinion?

I have done really well with mypoints.com....they just offer a lot of different ways to earn points....which I usually turn into Wal-Mart gift cards.I belong to a couple of paid sites....but so far I have not reached payout....except for here at myLot.I find the survey sites the worst....because a lot of times you take a super long survey....just to find out you did not qualify and therefor you didn't earn anything....talk about waste of time. With mypoints.....anytime I need to buy something online....I always check first if they offer a site that has what I need and voila I've earned more points for something I was getting anyaways. I guess in all I have done really well with the reward sites and like you said....the money making sites hopefuly will add up eventually.

I don't join any sites that require a credit card or payments. The only ones I've done with any regularity are wealthwars (more of a game, I spend my money in game and have never reached payout), promosquad (have gotten a few rewards from them), and RewardTV (I got a few Amazon gift cards from this one).

MyPOints is one of my favorite rewards sites. I can't count haw many Wal-Mart gift cards I've cashed out for. They are reliable and fast at delivering them! I really used to like FreeRide, but it's changed alot in the past few years. One year I had over $200 in Toys r Us cards right at Christmas time. Came in handy! The cashier was amazed when I paid for a full buggy with Geoffrey dollars and gift cards (all $10, lol). I also like the sites that pay in Amazon gift certificates. I found some things there I couldn't find other places for my husband for Christmas. The money sites are good, but it does take a while to gather up enough to cash out. Especially if you have zero referrals. Even after showing people the gift cards and stuff I earned, they don't think it really works. I don't get it, lol! But I do join all the sites that look legit. I figure that eventually they add up! The only ones I don't join are the ones that promise hundreds of dollars quick. Nope, ain't gonna happen, just not realistic!

I'm not really that bothered by reward sites - I've tried many before to try and get a free handbag or ipod, and I've never got one! There are a lot of scams out there, so I tend to only go for sites recommended by friends. MyLot was recommended by a friend, and its the only one I use at the moment. x

I've been a member of mypoints for years and have gotten a couple of gift cards from it. I enjoy using the site and getting things from it. I get points from reading the emails and shopping very easy to do.
