Let’s See How Much More I Can Earn…..

Welp, I finally hit $20 on Survey Junkie. I was gonna cash out, but I think I’m going to wait until Friday night. Let’s see how much I can get by then. On Friday night, or Saturday when I get up, I’m going to cash-out and put ALL of it towards Christmas gifts.
I cashed out and used my Amazon gift card from GlobalTestMarket. It was $10, and I used it towards my niece’s gift, which is a plush kitten that she really liked. I only had to pay $2.75 out of pocket. It wasn’t available on Prime for that price, plus there were only a few left, so I went ahead and ordered it last night.
I ordered a $3 Amazon gift card from Swagbucks (which is helpful for Swago and Christmas shopping lol), plus my $10 Amazon gift card from Shopkicks. So I’ll be ordering a few more gifts this week, and then a few more when I cash out via Survey Junkie, as I can put that towards Amazon or another website since I usually cash out for PayPal.
I’ll probably pay for the rest of the gifts out of pocket, as I don’t see myself cashing out on anything else before Christmas. If I do, I’ll put it on gifts from the store rather than online, as I’m eventually gonna have to order the gifts to get them here on time.
Oh, and I decided that the first Survey Junkie cash-out I get after Christmas is going to be used towards a Christmas present for myself. New Kids On The Block is re-releasing Hangin’ Tough for their 30th anniversary, and it’s also going to include some new tracks as well. It’s $10 on Amazon Prime, so I’m going to get that for myself. If I don’t cash-out soon, I can either wait or just pay for it out of pocket. $10 for my favorite band’s new release on Amazon Prime is doable lol. It’s a pre-order though, so I won’t actually receive it until March. It’ll be fun to get that in the mail later on though lol. Oh, and I’m getting the CD. The vinyl is too much and I have nothing to play it on. They do have MP3’s for a dollar more, but I want it as a CD. :)
Anyways, I have two more orders to go and then I’m finished with my work for the night, so I’m out. I’ll try to be back later for the Gratitude Challenge though. Take care, everyone.

Thank you so much! I used them to finally order my Mom and brother-in-law's gifts. I'd love to cash out again before the cut-off date for ordering online, but I don't think it'll happen, so the rest of my gifts will be paid for out of pocket.

That's awesome for all the cash outs and being able to use them towards gifts! And that's a great gift to give yourself, hope you enjoy when you finally get it, but I know you will because of how much you enjoy their music!
I am doing okay so far on Survey Junkie....but I don't do surveys as much as I should!

Thank you so much! I still have to pay a few out of pocket, but I saved about $33 thanks to the the Survey Junkie, Shopkicks and Swagbucks. And thank you so much, I'm looking forward to it! I saw the track listing, it's the original Hangin' Tough tracks, several remixes and a few new songs. 
You'll get there! I love how you get points even when screening out. That adds up after a while. I need to get on the ball this week, but one of my bigger writing teams just posted their large monthly batch, so that and my regular client's Fiverr order are my main focus this week.

Thank you so much! The NKOTB gift is for my birthday in January, but it'd work for either Christmas or birthday lol. I do need to take care of a few other things first, but it doesn't come out until March, so I don't think it matters when I pre-order it.... but it's totally going to be mine lol. BTW, my best friend agreed to be my back-up ride for the concert this summer if need be. 
Thank you! I hope you have a good Christmas too!

cool. I have enough SBs on Swagbucks to get a 25 dollar gift card. But I'm going to wait until I need something for Petsmart before I get it. (They don't have Petsmart gift cards. They have Petco gift cards. I have given up on Petco and so now I going to get a Visa gift card and use it on Petsmart.)

@Courtlynn I don't think I'm going to, but I'm about done now, other than two after-Christmas gifts. But I'm definitely going to use it on myself for my birthday lol. I'm planning to pre-order NKOTB's re-release of Hangin' Tough (also includes a few remixes and new tracks) as a birthday gift to myself. And thank you so much!

@tammys85 Oh I wish you could reach it! But if not, that's okay. You can make a new "happy birthday to me" - cut off date and use the next one to buy yourself something awesome!

Wonderful! Sounds like you're doing well with your cash outs just in time for the holidays. I don't particularly like doing surveys, though I did try them some time ago. I'm still trying to figure out my niche for my blog writing to be successful. I'm moving slow but I won't give up.
Oh! Just wondering if you also submit to magazines and such for your writing. I'm trying to do that but I've missed deadlines for alot of things. I'm working on doing better. My time management is bad when it comes to my home life and stuff as a single parent.

Thank you so much! I fell out of survey websites (outside of MyPoints and Swagbucks) for the longest time, but I just got back into them over the summer. You'll definitely figure out your niche. :) What about being a single parent as your niche? Like giving tips and such.
I don't submit to magazines, just Textbroker and Fiverr, and the occasional site like Zerys. I wish you the best with it! My time management sucks but that's because I procrastinate and/or get a late start too much.

@TishaMears Right. It's good that you're taking your time and making sure you choose the right niche.
I need to stop procrastinating. Maybe tomorrow.

@tammys85 You're welcome. Yeah. I thought about the single parent niche but still working it out.
I procrastinate and stuff, too

Congratulations. Hope you make your next 20 real soon. I received a $20 Amazon gift card from Swagbucks and that was nice.

I'm at my weekly $50 in two days with prizerebel. Bout to get another $50 in by the end of the week. Surveys are easy once you get the hang of them.I have a survey walkthrough video on my site that has helped me make more money with surveys. I have alot of tips :)
