You can earn your choice of movie tickets, CDs, software, for clipping name brand box-tops, trying new web sites and software, and playing trivia games.
Consumers Wanted: This Means You
MyPoints, FreeRide, and CoolSavings distribute points and coupons, and CyberGold offers cash. View advertisements and web sites to get credit toward CDs from CD-Now, movie passes good for any movie at a theater near you, NetGrocer groceries (delivered in 3 days plus $3.99 for delivery). Start by signing up with PlanetAll, since it signs you up with the others and gives you fifty cents to start with. You can only earn a few bucks worth of credit the first time (go back every few days or every week to find new deals) on each site. You can't really buy anything with your credit unless you have about ten bucks in points. You can earn more credit by buying stuff. The website gets kickbacks and you get money back for shopping with them. None of what you earn would cover shipping or sales tax, but they've rigged it so some value is returned for your time.
How do you earn? Browse through a list of web sites. Each new site is like a quarter in your pocket. (You can also find good deals and $25,000 contests on many of these sites.) Maybe you're out shopping for Tide detergent, Advil pain reliever or Duracell brand power cells. Clip and return the proof-of purchases in FreeRide's postage-paid envelope. Expect forty cents (more or less) from the manufacturer per item. It all gets credited as points. Spend your points at CD-Now or NetGrocer. Sign up each week for ten free catalogs and get a dollar of credit. Sign up for a trial subscription or trial membership and get a dollar credit to spend right away, even if you later cancel your subscription. Get approved for a credit card and get two bucks. Get those Dilbert books and earn a $3 rebate.
If by building an alliance with consumers, internet-based companies like CyberGold and CD-Now can connect with movie theater chains and credit card companies to provide value to us consumers, maybe we can learn from their example of systomatic peace and harmony. If the people who make your chocolate chip cookies, magazines, batteries, laundrey detergent and credit cards can pay for your internet entertainment, music, videos and movie tickets, then just maybe the lawyers, armies, parents, mothers, and other folks can get along with one another on this blue, little world. All it takes is to get organized in small steps. Right now, online syndicates can pay for your internet access. Tomorrow, with organized effort we could pay your college education. Is that too big of a leap?
The experience so far has been fun, easy, interesting, and valuable. Conceivably, you could earn enough points per month to get free dialup internet access, especially if you're willing to change some shopping habits toward earning credit. It just doesn't get cooler than Dilbert kickbacks. You can't take my word for these services, though. I'm biased. They're paying me.
