March 2013 Reward Site Stats

Hey CMM&S fans, time for my March 2013 Reward Site Earnings post, sorry this one is really late! 

March was a pretty good month for me for some sites, and in others I really slacked off.  I find that I have been a lot busier at work, and in the evenings I'm wanting to spend more time with family, or checking out blogs rather than attempting surveys.  I still do my Casino Tasks every day if possible though.  I find that with so many sites, it is hard to keep up with them all.

GiftHulk

I was actually lucky to get a 5% discount and ordered a $10.00 Amazon.ca gift card.  I wish they had the cheaper $5 Amazon.ca cards back, or lowered their PayPal prices, but it doesn't look like the $5 Amazon.ca card will be back any time soon.  At the end of March I had about 875HC earned from random searches, the Treasure Box and my excellent referrals.

Zoombucks

No earnings here for me.  Again, this is one that I do infrequently.  I try to remember to log in daily and get my 1ZB as well as visit the ZDaily Homepage and search, but it's usually one of the last on my list and I forget, especially if I get busy or distracted.  Last month I cashed out for $10 and was up to 158ZB.  For March I got up to 325ZB, so as you can see I don't really do much here at all.  I could do more as their tasks are actually reasonably priced.

PrizeZombie

Oh PrizeZombie, how I miss PZTV.  Not much doing here I'm afraid.  I have a couple referrals who are still active here.  As of the end of March I had 1300SL.  I am saving up for a $25.00 card so that I can have the "Family Discount" here.  I am hoping they bring back PZTV eventually.

iRazoo

I have actually forgotten about adding this one to the list.  This is another site I use occasionally.  I try to log in daily and get my 5 points from visiting the offers.  I also enter their Promo Codes and search occasionally.  I do have one very active referral that has been helping me out greatly with this site.  Every search they get, you get matching points up to 3,000 points.  I am up to 2,000 points as of the end of March.

CantBeatFree

Another occasional site I use.  When I remember to log in, I do the DiDi Daily Print 2 Coupons-VIP ONLY offer as well as the 0.001 point video on TV and the Virool videos.  This site is the only one I've found that still offers 1 full point per Virool video.  Other sites like PrizeZombie are offering 0.5 points per video.  I used to use this site regularly when they allowed you to do Casino Tasks and build up bonus bars for an extra 25 points per 10 offers over 3 points or more.  I do have one referral there that does a few things and I earn 12% of what they earn.  As of the end of March I had 300 points.

Swagbucks

Swagbucks really is one of the best earning sites out there.  It has a lot of variety and it has decent payouts for offers and surveys.  Not the best mind you, but because they offer lots of ways to earn easy points daily by Searching, SBTV and Games, they're an excellent site for those that just want to stick with one earning website.  This month I earned my 5 x $5 Amazon.ca and I redeemed for 2 x $25 PayPal gift cards.  March was pretty good to me, and at the end of March I had enough to order 3 of my $5 Amazon.ca cards for April and almost enough for 4. 

ClixSense

Definitely not as good as January again, but still a decent month for earnings.  However I miss being able to do SSI surveys more often.  Unfortunately SSI surveys run out rather quickly and disappear by the time I am finished work.  If I can't get to them early in the day, then they're gone.  This is very unfortunate since SSI surveys definitely helped boost my earnings.  I have also been pretty busy lately, and not spending as much time doing surveys every day so my earnings dropped a bit.  In total I earned $82.28 this month.  That includes $6.38 that I earned from my awesome referrals.  Bit better than February, but only because technically I got an extra payment period.

So for ease of use, for later, here is the breakdown of my earnings for February 2013:

ClixSense: $79.31 PayPal

Swagbucks: $25.00 Amazon.ca and $50 PayPal

GiftHulk: $10.00

PrizeZombie: $0.00

Zoombucks: $0.00
CantBeatFree: $0.00
iRazoo: $0.00

Total = $164.31

Last month I earned $129.31 and in January I earned $239.51. 

Please leave your earnings in the comments with your name so we can keep track at the end of the year what we earned!  If you're just joining me with tracking your reward earnings you can also go back to January and February and leave me a comment with your reward earnings!

Feb 2013 Reward Site Stats

Hey CMM&S fans, time for my February 2013 Reward Site Earnings post!

This month was not nearly as successful as January as I did not cash out on some of my sites, and I found that surveys and offers were lacking for me.  I also spent more time with family and other things I enjoy doing so I slacked off a bit too.

I still earned a nice chunk of change for the work I did put in and I'm hoping March brings more surveys and offers.

GiftHulk

No cash out on GiftHulk this time, however I am up to 1244HC which includes referral earnings and working my way slowly towards enough points for another $30 Amazon.ca gift card.  That or the $5 Amazon.ca card and discount comes back, whichever comes first.  Last month I had 91 permanent treasure box keys, and now I'm up to 97 permanent keys.  5 of these are my starter keys and 42 are from active referrals, the rest I have earned either by searching or from the treasure box.

Zoombucks

No earnings here for me.  I've been really bad this month with not logging in for my daily 1ZB and the ZDaily Homepage and a search.  I cashed out last month for $10 and I am up to 158ZB including referral earnings.

PrizeZombie

Another site with no reward for me this month.  I could have redeemed for a $5 Amazon.ca gift card, however PrizeZombie has recently implemented their "Family Discount" program.  The get discounts on gift cards you must redeem for a $25 gift card of your choice for 2500SL.  Right now I'm currently at 612SL and most of this is referral earnings as I haven't been doing much here.  The offers and surveys here are worth less and there is nothing here that is a guaranteed earning of even 1SL like a daily poll.  So often I don't even visit since the Search Wins are not guaranteed SL, but could be offer wall bonuses or Survival Grid "spins".  I understand they need to make these changes to stay sustainable, but I am disappointed with the changes.  I try to maximize my earnings for the amount of time I spend on my sites and unfortunately PrizeZombie has less to offer.  Of course others might not see it this way.

Swagbucks

Swagbucks is consistently one of my top earners.  This month I redeemed for 5 x $5 Amazon.ca and a $25 PayPal.  By the end of the month I also had enough left over to order my 5 x $5 Amazon.ca cards for March and I made the goal every day of February so I'm expecting a really nice bonus on March 5th!  I am going away on the 9th and 10th of March and I also have a work trip coming up in March so I don't think I'll make the goal every day, so it's good that I'm a bit ahead.

ClixSense

This month wasn't as good as last month for sure.  I had a lot fewer surveys and I didn't do any of the Paid to Call offers this month.  They were worth less and I never took the time to do them.  I did attempt many surveys, but had a lot of DQ's and where others had surveys, I didn't get anything.  However, I did earn $79.31 which is nothing to sneeze at, this includes $7.47 that was earned for me by referrals.  Since I cash out each Friday, I only count what I cashed out Friday, so technically I could count the cash out I received today, but that will go to March's total, so hopefully March will be better since it's a longer month.

So for ease of use, for later, here is the breakdown of my earnings for February 2013:

ClixSense: $79.31 PayPal

Swagbucks: $25.00 Amazon.ca and $25.00 PayPal

GiftHulk: $0.00

PrizeZombie: $0.00

Zoombucks: $0.00

Total = $129.31

Last month I earned $239.51, so a whopping $100.20 difference compared to January.  I am hoping that surveys start being nicer to me again!

Please leave your earnings in the comments with your name so we can keep track at the end of the year what we earned!

Jan 2013 Reward Site Stats

Hey CMM&S fans!  This year I wanted to do something different and actually keep track of what I earn from my sites.  I am somewhat of a procrastinator with some things, so I think having a Tracking Challenge with the fans of CMM&S would be a good way for me to keep on top of tracking, and I also think it would be great to find out how much CMM&S fans have earned each month with their various sites, as well as our end of the year totals!  So post what you earned and do a breakdown of what you earned from where too!

I have already created a Google Spreadsheet of what I have earned this month and broke it down into the Site, Reward Value, Reward, Redemption Date and Received Date.  You can view the spreadsheet Here. 

In total in January 2013 I have redeemed for $239.51.  This includes all of my earnings from my various money-maker sites, referral earnings included.

So now that you can view the actual totals, let me give you some details about my rewards from each money-maker site.  Since this is the first month I'm doing this, I will give background details of previous reward earnings, etc for some of these.

GiftHulk

As GiftHulk no longer has the $5.00 Amazon.ca gift cards anymore, I have been saving up my HC for some time now.  On Jan 13, 2013 I was lucky enough to get a 5% store discount and I redeemed for a $30.00 Amazon.ca gift card for 2991.55HC.  Normally the $30.00 Amazon.ca gift cards are 3149HC, this makes them 104.96 HC per $1.00.  At this rate they are one of the highest reward requirements from my money-maker sites.  (US residents are still able to redeem for a $5.00 Amazon.com gift card for 439HC or 878.8 HC per $1.00).  My previous order was for a $5.00 Amazon.ca gift card back on Oct 27, 2012.  

I earned this by doing my daily Treasure Box keys, the occasional video and the occasional search win along with my referral points. I find the Search Wins very rare, and because of their strict Search Policies I only search maybe once or twice a day.   At this time I have 91 Treasure Box keys, 5 of which are my starter keys and 38 from referrals who earned 50 or more HC since joining GiftHulk.

Zoombucks 

I have actually ordered my very first reward since joining Zoombucks.  On Jan 24, 2013 I cashed out for a $10.00 Amazon.ca gift card.  I have yet to receive it, as it says it's pending for delivery by February 15, 2013.  I joined Zoombucks on July 28, 2013.  On this site, I do very little.  I try to remember to log in daily and get my 1ZB from visiting the Offer Walls, plus I also go to the ZDaily Homepage at least once and try to Search at least once.  I could put more effort in with this one and search more often as I believe their Search Rules aren't quite as strict, but I put most of my effort into other sites.

PrizeZombie

January 2013 I earned $20.00 Amazon.ca with PrizeZombie.  I will be the first to admit I've totally been slacking with PrizeZombie.  I used to work to try and make my daily goals there, but I've been lazy and haven't been getting my daily goals very often.  They also seem to have changed the way the searches work.  Previously I would get Quads (4 Search Wins) in a day and earn between 5-7SL on the first, 2 - 4SL on the second and then get Jackpot Entry wins on the third and fourth win.  Now it seems to be mixed up, or more often that you'll get JackPot Entry wins.  A good portion of my earnings on PrizeZombie are thanks to my referrals.  I hope to get back into working at it more soon, and hope they come out with some new content as promised. 

I really miss the ShoutBox so I could chat with other PZ fans as well as see what offers were crediting right from the ShoutBox.  It kept me a lot more active there because I could see when my videos were crediting, and I had the option to chat with people.

Swagbucks

January 2013 I was able to cash out for 5 x $5.00 Amazon.ca and $25.00 PayPal cash.  I also saved up over 1,000SB as well that I couldn't cash out, but that will be part of February's total.  In December 2012 I cashed out a total of $55.00.  I have been with Swagbucks since June 2011 and it wasn't until about the end of August, beginning of September 2011 that I really got "into" it, especially with doing SBTV.  I have steadily earned at least $25.00 per month in Amazon.ca gift cards.  This comes from doing my dailies and SBTV.  I am an SBTV junkie, if I'm online, I am doing SBTV.   The vast majority of my SB come from SBTV.

Clixsense

When SuperPoints closed down, I was left with a "void" in my money-maker sites I was using.  I needed something to fill up my time I was spending on SuperPoints, as well as to beef up my earnings again.  I joined PrizeZombie and ClixSense about the same time, and I little did I know that ClixSense would soon become my top earner.  It has definitely more than filled the void that was left by SuperPoints.  

In January 2013 I earned a whopping $129.51!  This is from doing tasks, surveys, paid to click ads and also my referral earnings.  This month my referrals helped me make an amazing $25.24, which is included in the $129.51 total, however I still earned over $100 on my own.

So for ease of use, for later, here is the breakdown of my earnings for January 2013

GiftHulk $30.00 Amazon.ca
Zoombucks $10.00 Amazon.ca
PrizeZombie $20.00 Amazon.ca
Swagbucks $25.00 Amazon.ca and $25 PayPal
ClixSense $129.51 PayPal
Total = $239.51

I'd love to hear how much you earned in January 2013 from all your sites!  Please comment on the Blog to let us know, and we'll all keep track each month and find out how much CMM&S fans earned total at the end of the year.  I know I will far be from the top earner as some of you are amazing earning hundreds of dollars each month!
