Saving For Christmas

Hey Guys,

Okay as mentioned, I am in the process of saving for Christmas. But I am doing this a number of ways. Well... via a number of websites. :) By the looks of things I will be buying all my gifts at Amazon.com

But I dont mind, simply because Amazon has a number of items I can purchase.

Why Amazon? Well.. let me explain what I am doing so the question can be easily answered

Firstly, I am accumulating a great number of Swagbucks. Anyone from the UK and the USA can do that simply by using Swagbucks.com as a search engine. This is the easiest method. I have nearly 2000 Swagbucks. Now, 450 Swagbucks will give me a $5 Amazon Gift card alone. There are a number of things you can do with your Swagbucks, but this is what I am doing. For more info on Swagbucks visit the tab marked "Favorite Sites"

The other thing I am doing is accumulating $$ via surveys. I have signed up for a number of them, but actually follow through with Valued Opinions

Valued Opinions is a service which rewards you for taking part in market research surveys. It is your opportunity to influence the development of new products and services. 

As a member of Valued Opinions you will be invited to participate in various surveys matching your current interests. For each survey you complete, you will receive a reward, typically between $2 and $5 and up to $50 for specialist surveys which will be credited to your Valued Opinions account within 28 days. Money is given in exchange for your opinions and will be stored in your account until you are able to redeem your rewards.

Rewards include gift cards for: Amazon.com, BLOCKBUSTER, Fragrancenet, Macy's, Marriott and Magazines.com.

Right now I have approximately $50. I wont cash it in till later.
