Reward Sites

There are thousands upon thousands of reward type websites out there, and while I know that a lot of them are scams, this should not make you stay completely away from them. .................................................................................................................................. I have been working with one of these sites for years now and it is still my favorite, MyPoints. You can shop at most of the big online sites, get a discount for being a member, plus get the rewards points on top of it. I check my email each morning and there is always at least one email from them where I don't even have to buy anything, I just have to go check out the sponsors website. That nets me an easy five points. ................................................................................................................................. I have signed up for a few other rewards programs over the last few days, still getting the hang of how these work, and putting together a bit of a routine to make sure I don't forget them. Each one has different rewards to offer and in the end each one has the ability to save me a lot of money and get me things that I would ordinarily overlook because of the price. In the end it only cost me just a few moments out of my life. ................................................................................................................................. On a side note, I really want to put a warning out there that as mentioned above sometimes if it seems to good to be true then it is more then likely a scam. I used to work in a call center for a cell phone company, so I also want to point out that if it requires your cell number to text you any type of confirmation codes, this can and usually does result in you signing up for a monthly requiring charge on your cell phone bill. If this is the case, they will send you a text message that will say as much, just reply to the text with the word stop and phone your provider either right then or the next day and they should be able to make sure you are unsubscribed and have that site blocked, some will even reimburse you if it is within twenty four hours. ................................................................................................................................. What type of rewards program do you use or why do you choose to stay away from them?
