I do several reward programs to get a little extra cash or gift cards, mainly in my spare time or when I need a quick break from working. My favorites are SuperPoints, Swagbucks, Irazoo, MyPoints and PaidViewpoint as they're all pretty quick to earn with and have all paid promptly. I'm doing a couple others but will most likely drop them once I get paid the first time, as they are taking far too long to actually earn anything. I did just join QuickRewards and so far it seems pretty good but I haven't been a member long enough to have a real opinion, yet.
Do you do any programs like these? If yes, which ones do you do that don't require doing a bunch of ridiculous offers?

I love swagbucks. Quickrewards used to be better than it currently is, but still the cashout to paypal is at $1, so payout is quick.
I love filling out surveys, and Toluna.com is good for that. It also has a similar posting aspect to it like mylot has.

The site itself is ugly as heck and hard to navigate. Not all of the links work correctly, either, which is annoying. You should be able to get everywhere, though. Maybe try a different browser?

I'm only with Swagbucks really. It's easy and I put up with the rude staff there. They banned me recently but let me back after I complained to the BBB because they realised it was their error and I wasn't cheating but they still couldn't admit it and give me an apology. Nice bunch of people 
There are others that I wanted to join but they are US sites only. Superpoints I think was one of them. Another that you haven't mentioned is Can't Beat Free. I am not allowed to join once again but I've heard people say it gives better rewards than Swagbucks 
Maybe you should look into that one and goolge reviews and see if it's any good

Ahh that's OK. I don't bother saying anything in their blogs anymore as it falls on deaf ears. They don't really do much for the Australians but at least we were finally able to join.
Definitely take a look, can't hurt and it's been around long enough now to have been tested

Never heard of Can't Beat Free but I'll look into it. I'm sorry that you had a problem at Swagbucks. I've never had an issue with the staff there, but I haven't really interacted with them very much.

Superpoints since the change has become the worst of the lot you mentioned. If you use PaidViewpoint you should try InstantCashSweepstakes(their original site). I myself prefer surveys sites, far better money to be made.

Exactly, Tina. That's what I (now) do. I saved and saved them for quite a while, amassing over 13,000 swagbucks only to use a good portion on a juicer that I've used.....three times. It's my own fault because I didn't do my research on centrifugal juicers and how the heat caused as well as the oxidization as a result, diminishes the health benefits. Anyway...
So now I just collect the $5 Amazon gift cards and I'll probably hoard those until Christmas myself.

If you spend the time at it, you can usually get an Amazon GC every week with Swagbucks. I used to but I don't spend as much time at it now. I'm saving my GCs for Christmas shopping so this week I've started focusing more on it again.

The only one I do is Swagbucks. I have another online job that requires me to search the internet and I always search thru the Swagbucks tool bar. I haven't cashed out yet though.

That's a brilliant idea, Princess! Smart thinking using the Swagbucks search for work and making some extra points for yourself.

did most of this reward program really works when i don't know if they really works cause they go too far and the most funny thing is that you don,t really know the end of it all before you finally earn your money.

All of the sites I talk about work, at least for Americans. I don't recommend a program unless it works and I've been paid by it. However, I know that such programs aren't always as good for people in other countries so your experience may be different. I don't recommend survey sites outside of the US, UK, CA and AU because they're not usually any good outside those countries.

most reward programs were giving surveys to those members who reside in US or chosen countries like UK,Canada,Europe only ,though they accept international members but some offers are not available especially surveys.it's kinda unfair that's why i don't waste my time to join them.

I don't do the surveys on those sites - it's simply not worth my time. I believe all the ones I mentioned in this post take most countries and they all don't rely on surveys to get points. They have them, but there are plenty of other ways to earn with them.

dear
I am a member of superpoints ,swagbucks and recently paidviewpoint.I just joined! I got a little over a dollar to join it looks not at all like a survey site! Have you gotten paid? How many surveys do you get daily?

Yes, I have just receieved my first payout from PaidViewpoint a couple of weeks ago. It came within 2 or 3 days of requesting, too. I normally get at least one survey daily, sometimes more. With that site, keep plugging away as they give you higher paying surveys after your TraitScore gets higher.
