Just a reminder that Nielsen is still accepting applicants.  I am not sure how long this offer will be available, so if you are interested I recommend signing up before it’s too late!

If you were hesitant to sign up before because you would like more information on the program, I recommend reading the comments on my previous post.  Several people shared their experience with Nielsen and I think you’ll find it very helpful.

Intro to Making Free Money Online

One of my goals this year is to help us work together on saving ‘free money’.  As you can tell by the Cha-Ching! Christmas Club, free money is one of my favorite ways to stretch our income. I’ve been finding ways to bring in some extra cash through rewards programs for years.

There are some very important concepts that we all need to be on the same page about before we embark on this journey.

  • As you sign up for various programs, your inbox will begin receiving several new e-mails a day.  Some of the rewards programs like MyPoints and Inbox Dollars send out as many as 5-7 e-mails a day.  I don’t mind receiving these since I earn rewards by clicking through the e-mail.  If you dislike receiving that many e-mails, you may want to consider creating a new e-mail address that is strictly set up for these rewards programs.
  • None of these programs will get you rich.  (If so, you better believe I would be sharing the scoop!)  Instead as you take part in a variety of rewards programs, you will begin to see free money coming in through a variety of sources.  It may only equal a few dollars a week.  But over time that few dollars will grow and you will discover that a few minutes of your time each day could equal hundreds of dollars in the long run.
  • It is up to you to determine how much time you would like to invest in these free money opportunities.  If you opt to sign up for surveys, then be aware that some of them may take 20 minutes or more.  If time is tight, I highly recommend  programs like Swag Bucks that lets you earn prizes for searching the web–something that you would normally do anyway.
  • If you have not signed up for Roboform yet, it might just become your new best friend.  It is a web form filler software that will automatically fill in all those sign up forms with just the click of a button.  It has been a fantastic time saver for me.  Click here to learn more about it.  Download it for free here.  (Roboform Pro costs money, so stick with the free stuff!)

As always, let me know if you have any further questions.  I think rewards programs are a really fun way to bring in extra money.  I look forward to stre-e-e-e-tching our hard earned dollars together!

New Codes for Huggies Rewards Program: 11 Points

January 15th, 2010 By Kaley
This post may contain affiliate links, which means I will make a small commission if you click and make a purchase.

I have added new codes to my Huggies Rewards Codes database (highlighted in red)!   Thanks to For the Mommas for posting them.  They are worth 11 points, which could allow you to play 11 Instant Win games or enter some Sweeps at Enjoy The Ride Rewards.

By the way, are you all checking the inside of your Huggies diapers and wipes packages before throwing them away?  I almost threw away a bag from a pack of Jumbo diapers the other day without getting the code!  It was worth 13 points, so I’m sure glad I didn’t.  (Although I didn’t win anything…sigh.)

If you find any codes in my database that have expired, could you leave a comment and let me know?  Thanks!

Nielsen: Accepting Applicants Again!

Have you ever received a request from Nielsen to track your TV watching for the week?  We’ve done it a couple of times and I have been impressed by the fact that $30 in cash arrives in our mailbox before we even complete the survey.

Well, Nielsen is now accepting applicants to join the Nielsen Homescan Consumer Panel.  If you are accepted as a panel member, Homescan will provide you with a hand-held scanner. Every time you or members of your household shop, you’ll use the scanner to scan the barcodes on all of your purchases.

Once a week, you’ll transmit this information to Nielsen and you’ll earn points which can be redeemed for a variety of items from the Nielsen Gift Catalog.

Wes was accepted as a panel member and is currently on the waiting list for a scanner.  We think this sounds like  such a fun way to earn rewards and can’t wait to try it out!  From what we’ve heard, it takes a little while to earn rewards, but once you do, they can be redeemed for some great prizes like electronics and household items.  This might be another great source of  ‘free money’ if you are part of the Cha-Ching Christmas Club!

If you are interested in signing up, they are taking applications for their panel right now. Go here to read more and sign up. This usually closes quickly, so I recommend signing up while you have the chance!
