Have you heard about Plink – the new Dining Out rewards program?  You can actually get paid to eat out!

PLUS right now they are offering a FREE $5 gift card to Amazon.com (or Home Depot, Walmart, Facebook and more)  when you sign up and attach one of your credit/debit cards to the account.  No purchase is required!

Then when you use that card you will earn points when you make purchases at certain restaurants, stores, hotels, with your card.  As you earn points, you can turn them into MORE gift cards to Amazon.com, Home Depot, Walmart, Facebook and more.

I signed up with Plink today and within a few hours, my points were added to my account and I redeemed them for a $5 Amazon gift card, which showed up tonight!  (Could take up to 48 hours.)

So here’s how to claim your FREE $5 Gift Card:

  • Join Plink.
  • Register your card.
  • Wait 12 – 18 hours and 500 Points will go into your account – which you can redeem for a $5 Gift Card.

In case you are worried about adding your credit/debit card, you can head over here to check out their rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Have you signed up for Swag Bucks yet – the online search engine that earns you FREE stuff?

If not, now is a GREAT time to do so.  Right now new members can get 120 FREE Swag Bucks using code 5THBIRTHDAY upon registration when you sign up here (expires 2/28). This is instead of the 30 you normally receive upon signing up.

Once you start using Swagbucks.com, you will most likely earn 10-30 Swagbucks per day for on-line searching, and they will randomly be rewarded to you.  You can get a $5 Amazon gift card with 450 Swagbucks so you can easily earn it within the first month.

It’s one of my favorite ways to save up for my Christmas shopping!
