(almost) Free trial....with benefits!

So on Jan 30, I signed myself up for a free trial of www.Travelersadvantage.com and www.greatfun.com just to get $20 worth of Exxon Mobile gas gift cards and $10 gift card at Circuit City just for paying $1 for the trial at Great Fun. Today I called to cancel so I wouldn't be assessed a fee at the end of the month. Well the lady at GreatFun offered me $40 worth of rebates (the explaination she gave me was that I spend a total of $40 at any place such as gas station or restaurant and turn the receipts in to them and I get money back for that as an incentive) so I figured I would feel it out once I got the rebate forms in the mail. Say I end up being assessed the monthly fee (I think 11.99) and I get $40 rebated that is about $28.01 in free money back to me. We'll see. Either way I have used my $20 in Exxon Mobile gas cards and it works great!!

Now, my only thing I will update is on whether I pay the $11.99 for the rebates. Gotta take some risks sometimes...

Found out some great ways to make money!!

So I am sure many of my readers will want to hear about things I have researched to find out if they are legit. I will be writing about them throughout. It is always a wise idea to research before you buy so the same goes for contests and making money or even jobs and relocating. Try typing in something you have a question about such as "www.goodcompany.com, forum" or "www.goodcompany.com, better business bureau" and you can find out a lot too. You can feel free to e-mail me as well and I'll see what I can do. Here are some things that I am interested in:
1. Spanish: I am listening to Pimsleur's Speak and Read cd's. I have about 40 minutes to and from work so I use it to my advantage. I checked it out from the library. My goal is to be bilingual! It adds to your resume and often times to your salary!!!
2. One of my favorites so I don't get scammed: http://www.ripoffreport.com/
3. Focus groups and studies:
-www.Backpage.com and then you find your nearest city (using this website I found out about and attended a skin test study. They were doing preliminary tests on over 600+ group. I just received my $25 but haven't heard back as to whether I am a part of the next group consisting on 90 women.)

Here is a comprehensive guide as well, that I often refer to for surveys, focus groups, paid to read e-mails, etc. www.amlynn.org/home/ (she keeps you up to date!)
