I just wanted to share this, becuase it might give some other frugal mommies out there are idea of how a minute a day can mean dollars in your pocket.
In February of last year, shortly after I found this site I signed up for a mypoints.com account. I was skeptical but at that point I wanted to exahust all of my options of how to save/ get a little extra.
To any one who does not know you earn points by getting e-mails and simply clicking on a link to the site and letting the site page come up then you can close that page and move on. You get about 2-3 e-mails a day and each is worth about 5 points. I also did a small (under 50.00) worth of online shopping at major retailers through the site.
From February until now I earned enough points to get a $10 Target card, and $10 Walmart card and it took me less than 10 minutes a week*!*!*! I am so excited becuase I can use these for my neice and nephews Christmas gifts and it is basically free!!!!

Just reminding you mommies that there are things out there that can help!*!*!*

I also signed up for My Points and absolutely love it. I do a lot of my company's purchasing of office supplies, plane tickets, and hotels online and they don't mind if I go through the My Points website to book things. That way I get points and FREE stuff. Great site!

When I first started, I was just doing the emails, and I think I got a couple 10 dollar cards. I decided to save all my points up for Christmas presents. I started shopping online too, and I think I just need a little more for a 50 dollar card. I need to hurry up and get them, because Christmas is getting close, and I want to leave enough time to have them mailed to me. I am doing pretty good with my surveys too. I just got a 10 dollar amazon gift card from lightspeed. And another 5 dollars from pinecone.

I love my points! I have been a member for about 5 years and can't count the number of gift cards I've gotten. I've just started using them to shop through and the points really do add up fast!

Add me to the mypoints lovers!! LOL

This year alone, I've earned a $10 card for WAlmart, a $10 card for Bath and Body Works, a $50 card for Old Navy, and I've earned enough points for another $10 card to whatever I decide. I'm trying to let that roll and see if I can get enough for a $25 card. I just collect my cards and put them in an envie with some extra cash that I stashed. I plan on using them for my HOliday shopping! What a savings!

I'm another mypoints fan - I've been a member for years and have gotten numerous gift cards from them. I just cashed in for a $50 Walmart gift card to go towards a new car seat for my DS. Really helped out!

I joined mypoints a few months ago. I almost have enough for a $10 gift card. Can't wait. So far this year, I have earned a $10 gift card to chilis from Lightspeed and $10 in cash from my survey.com. I plan to give the gift card as a gift with one other item and the cash, I'll use it to buy someone a gift. I just love saving the family money!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love mypoints. I have gotten a $25 card for walmart, pier 1, sears and I am working on a $50 bp card. For our future move. I shop at barnes and noble, hallmark, ebay and book my hotels. I have also done a few referrals. I also have an account for my hubby. I do all the work, but I get double points that way. As long as you have a separate email address. Thank goodness for yahoo.
