I can't imagine how I would sift through all that junk to get the emails I am looking for when I am on so many lists! But, good for you- I am all for people who can make it work for them. |
For the free t-shirts, books, etc. I use a "junk" email address and not my own. Since you know you are going to get spammed don't give out your paersonal email addy.
For the banks, brokerages, etc., they never spam you or pass your address to other sites. Of course you can just "opt out" to receive anything.
For test drives I WANT to be on the auto makers lists to receive their mailand every now and then an "exclusive" TD offer comes thru to me from them.
For the ex24.com current offer of a free $24 for a new account and $24 for referrals, we are over $500 for referrals now. Everyone in our family is signing up for this and will be sending more invitations to friends today. Don't think it will last much longer. |

| I was just curious, do you have to listen to a long sales pitch to get the money for test driving? |

NO, 99 out of 100 times. I walk in with the form and politely ask salesperson or manage "Would you mind signing this form?" They know you are there for the goodie so MOST of the time they are delighted to do it.
In fact, several years ago I took in 2 forms, 1 for me and 1 for my wife (used different address for her). This is what the salesman said; "IT'S ABOUT TIME!!! Finally someone just presents the form for me to sign instead of wasting my time for a half-hour walking up and down the car isles, and THEN pulls out form for me to sign!" This salesman was actually happy that I was honest with him up front, since several before me were not. I did several more TD offers after that at the same dealership and went directly to this same salesperson. He was delighted to see me and I even advised of some TD offers which he took advantage of.
Just be honest with them and should not have any problems. |

I do freebie websites all the time. I use a particular email addy for this purpose, and I have gotten some great things and some not so great things...I got $20 in circuit city gift cards, lots of picture paper, so far, the only money is from earning points at memolink. I will have to look further to find some of this stuff!  |

| I have also wanted to participate in such campaigns, but alot of them dont seem to accept users fromm other coutries, or if they charge handling and shipping fees. They end up more that the product itself. Anyone got an idea how to avoid that? |

I use to do all that paid email, paid to surf, etc. stuff a long time ago but with the exception of AllAdvantage (long gone) I found that for the time invested I would much rather make make the larger money signing up and referring for bank, brokerage, credit card, test drive, Etc., offers. Its a whole lot faster and I can make a lot more. Just my 2 cents worth. |

WOW! You must have a lot of friends to sign up for that many referrals. I do the same with freebies. I go to the Fatwallet.com forums. I have an autofill button on firefox that puts in my address automatically, so I sign up for freebies every 10-15 seconds when I'm browsing the site. My mailman must hate me. I've got duplicates of like 6-7 different magazines and I remember him handing me 5 textbook sized boxes of ensure samples in the mail.  |

signupmoney, do you ever take cracks at those "freeipod" sites?
I understand some of them offer cash rewards in place of products. A friend of mine was telling me about how his younger brother has pulled in about $1000 from a cost of about $10.
Is it worth it? |
