Won Another $5 Blingo April 2008 from Referral

As I mentioned before, I've been using Blingo less over the past few weeks because of the provider change. But I am really lucky because people are still signing up under my referral and recently one of them won a $5 Amazon.com gift certificate or a Fandago movie ticket. And because I referred him (Justin B.), I received the same prize as well. As usual, I chose the $5 Amazon.com gift certificate option. Thanks to all who signed up under me and provided me with feedbacks. I think I am going to continue using Blingo still, but not as much as before. Come to think of it, more users deserting Blingo = increased chances of winnings for us!

FreeRide: Collect Tokens for Money

I have been a member of FreeRide since 2007 and it is one of the programs which I visit almost on a daily basis. At FreeRide, I collect tokens via various platforms to exchange for rewards. Rewards include: Virtual VISA account, gift card from RedLobster, Amazon.com, Walmart, OliveGarden, Overstock.com, HomeDepot, Smokey Bones BBQ, AppleBee's, Bahama Breeze and Noisehead.com Downloads. They used to have the option of a FreeRide.com t-shirt. I guessed they realised that it wasn't that good looking and no many are willing to trade the $10 value for a plain t-shirt. Redemption levels are based on the tier of 12500 tokens for $10, 28000 tokens for $25 and 54000 tokens for $50. I have redeemed 3 times and I am keeping my tokens for the larger amounts now because it'd be a better deal since the tokens never expire and the opportunities to earn tokens never decreases!

To earn tokens, you can shop and earn a certain tokens per $ spent depending on which merchant. You will also get free tokens by click on the Grab-a-cab icons which appear randomly at the site. You can get a handful of those in a day and the values are 1, 3 and 5 tokens. You'll earn 3 tokens for each video you view at iFilm (you'd need to click through their link). They have special bonus offers all the time. The one with Yahoo! HotJobs gives you 4 tokens per visit and the other Smithsonian one (travel related) gives you 5 tokens per visit.The big earners for me are the surveys. Each survey I complete would credit me with a whopping 500 tokens! There are a few surveys to take part in everyday and they give partial credits of 50 tokens if I do not qualify. FreeRide also has online grocery coupons for you to print and I think they give 5 tokens for every coupon you print and redeem. New users are given 1000 tokens to start off with, and I think it has increased from the previous 500 tokens.

If anyone is interested, this is one reliable and great program to join. Contact me for referrals as I get 100 tokens for every successful new user sign up. FreeRide has a very good customer service team as I once redeemed for $10 Amazon.com gift certificate and it never arrived in the mail (damn USPS?) and they gladly provided me with the code.
