Extra Pennies


Here's a listing of how I earn a few extra pennies.  Most of them are tried, and true. I've either been actually paid by them as promised, or in the process of getting paid.
  • Ebates - earn cash back for purchases you already plan on making through online merchants. Cash out with mailed check or PayPal after earning $5.01. More details can be found here.
  • InboxDollars - I mostly do click through emails, surveys on occasion. Requires $30 to cash out. Have not cashed out yet.
  • Mindfield - Surveys. Requires $5 to cash out, payable via check or PayPal. I've been doing this for less than a year and it's been one of my more rewarding surveys with cash and free samples to try.
  • MySurvey  - I've been doing this one for a few years and love them. They are trustworthy, reliable, and quick to respond to any problems you may have. They used to pay in checks, now they pay via PayPal or gift cards such as Amazon.
  • Opinion Outpost -Surveys. Requires $5 to cash out. Have cashed out several times.  Checks mailed via USPS and are quick to arrive after request.
  • Send Earnings - I mostly do click through emails, surveys on occasion. Requires $30 to cash out. Have not cashed out yet.
  • Survey Savvy - Surveys. Have not cashed out yet
  • SwagBucks -You earn points by using their search engine, participating in trivia, viewing ad videos, or other offers. Rewards includes cash via PayPal, gift cards, various merchandise, and sweepstakes. Have cashed out several times. This is one of my most rewarding "money makers."
  • Upromise - works just like Ebates, but instead of getting cash back in check/PayPal, you get cash automatically transferred to an educational 529 account. Also have shopping discounts and eCoupons for groceries. More details can be found here.
  • YouData -View ads. Cashed out several times.
