Yesterday felt a little like Christmas for me.  In our mailbox, we received four coupons for our free chocolate bars from the Mars Chocolate Giveway, plus our first check from one of our affiliates (I teared up a bit over that one!) AND my $25 Visa Gift Card from playing an Instant Win Game at Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards Program.

And so to celebrate, I’ve scoured the internet looking for new codes for you.  I came up with a whopping four new codes worth one point each.  But hey…one might be a winner for you!  Here they are:

BBNQM-WWKTG-MBPGB
BDKRH-BZDCL-DSPGB
BFMRK-PDQZK-KPPGB
BFMXQ-HPBXB-BGPGB

I also decided to share all of the other Huggies Rewards Codes I’ve found in a Google Doc.  You can find them here.

Now go enter them and win something please!

A Friendly Reminder from Wes

Have you been checking your YouData account lately?

I ask because I care.  Besides, I’d forget my head if it wasn’t screwed on! I almost missed out on my chance for free money from YouData this week. I’m spent though, it took a good 20 seconds to log in and pick up my cash. It might only be a buck or two, but if it were sitting fluttering around in the yard you know you’d be diving for those suckers. 🙂

If you have no idea what I’m talking about but think free money is something you’d enjoy, you can read my post about it here.

Anyone who has been reading this blog for long knows that I am one of Swag Bucks biggest fans.  (Read all about my obsession here.) It is one of the easiest ways I have ever found to earn gift cards and other great prizes simply for searching the web.

That’s why I was super excited when Swag Bucks contacted me to  let me know that they are unveiling some awesome new features this week and asked if I would like to offer a special 6 Swag Buck code to anyone who signs up here.

So, if you are one of those few people who has yet to take the Swag Bucks plunge, this is your lucky day!  Here’s what you do:

  • Then enter code: SHOESTRING (make sure it’s all in caps) and you will receive an additional 3 Swag Bucks!  You are now well on your way to a $5 Amazon gift card for 45 Swag Bucks or other great prizes.
  • Be sure to download the toolbar right away and begin using it to search the web and the Swag Bucks will begin flowing in!

(Unfortunately for all you Swag Bucks Veterans, the code is only for new members, but be aware that Swag Bucks will be running a number of “Swag Code” hunts on their Facebook, Blog and Twitter pages this week in honor of their new features.  If you find any, let us know!)

Oh…and would you like to know what today’s new feature is at Swagbucks.com? They are adding 1000’s of new and used titles to the video game section of the Swag Store, and they are offering a special sale on many of these titles!  So for all you gamers (or moms of gamers!), go check it out!

Stay tuned throughout the week as I share the new features being offered each day!

Now…what are you waiting for?  Take the Swag Buck plunge and enter code: SHOESTRING (enter it in the box on the left side of the page and then click ‘gimme’).  The code is good until Tues., June 16 at 11:59 PST.

By the way, you can earn up to 100 Swag Bucks for each person that you refer (click on promote at the top of the page to find out how to refer people).  If you refer them this week, tell them to enter code: SHOESTRING as well to get 3 additional Swag Bucks!

Swagbucks: Ways to Earn More

Did you know that Swagbucks has a blog?  I did, but what I didn’t realize is that I have been missing out on the latest swagbuck-earning opportunities by not reading it.  For example, today you can earn points by playing trivia on their Facebook page.

So, here’s an idea.  How about we work together?  I am going to attempt to read the Swagbucks blog more often to alert you all to the latest point-earning possibilities.  But, in case I slack off, feel free to do the same!  I figure if we work together, the world will be a happier place.

Youdata.com: Free money

Kaley and I are big fans of free money, so when I learned about YouData.com, I couldn’t pass it up.  And all I have to say is:

“Dang, FREE MONEY doesn’t get any easier than this, folks!”

YouData.com is  a company that actually pays you to look at advertisements with no strings attached. I made $2.38 for about 1 minute of time and already have money in my PayPal account.  Here is how it works.

The initial time investment is about 20 minutes.

1. Sign up for a Pay-Pal account at http://www.paypal.com/ if you haven’t yet.

2. Go here to sign up for YouData.

  • Once you register you will receive 1 text with a 4 digit confirmation number that you’ll need to confirm your account. YouData does not solicit or “spam” you with text messages; you’ll only receive ONE text. If you don’t have a cell phone you can always use a friend’s phone (assuming they don’t want free money too!)
  • You will immediately receive an e-mail confirmation word that you need for registering.
  • You plug in your text # and e-mail confirmation in and that is basically it for signing up!

The other details are as follows:

  1. You can check your account by logging into it or use their handy desk option once a day or once a week to access your ads.
  2. You will need to take a little time filling out your profile (15 minutes). 
  3. The next step is to spend about a minute “collecting your free money” by clicking on an ad and immediately closing it (unless of course you are bored and really want to read about the new AXE shampoo ads.)
  4. Every Friday the money you earned during the week will automatically be tossed right into your PayPal account.

Estimated daily time investment: Less than a minute
Estimated earnings in  a year with no referrals: $25-$50
Referrals incentive: Up to $1 for each referral ($.01 each time your referral is paid)
