Rewards Program

Office Max Online: $9.99 Office Desk Chairs and $29.99 Computer Desks Shipped Free (Possibly Get Them for Free As Well)

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy here.

by Cassie on May 15, 2012

Office Max is offering some VERY NICE DEALS until 5/19/12 or until they sell out through the Max Perks Rewards program. You can grab desk charis for $9.99 and a computer desk for $29.99 shipped FREE too after getting back Max Perks Rewards. Wahoo!

You will pay for the items out of your pocket now, and then you will see most of the purchase go back onto your Max Perks Rewards card to use at Office Max in the future! These rewards can be used to purchase anything in the store (except gift cards).  You can get a maximum of two of each of the above items, so you if you have some office or desk space you need to fill or replace, you can do it all for very little money!

You can shop directly on the Office Max website and grab your $9.99 office chairs and/or the $29.99 office desk and you will receive FREE shipping too.

But even better – you can make this an even better deal and get a chair for FREE in the end by shopping through Ebates for 3% back.  In addition, if you are new to Ebates, you will also receive a FREE $10 gift card to Target, Home Depot or Barnes and Noble (don’t you love how this deal just keeps getting better and better?).

Here’s how to get this deal:

  • Click on the Shop Now button and then you will be taken to the Office  Max site.
  • Once on the Office Max site, scroll down the page and look for this image at the bottom middle of the page and click on it: 

  • Then you will be able to see the deals on the chairs and desk mentioned above add the items you want to your cart that you would like and make your purchase.
  • You will also receive FREE shipping
  • Then you will receive most of your purchase (before tax) onto your Max Perks card to use at Office Max.  When we receive our Office Max rewards, we use them to purchase ink when we receive them and we rarely need to pay for ink.
  • In the end, after considering the 3% cash back and the FREE $10 gift card you will receive – it is better than FREE office chair or an even cheaper computer desk!  Deals can’t get much better than that!! This is better than buying used!

This deal is valid until Saturday, May 19th or while supplies last.

Earn FREE $20 Amazon Gift Cards with Just a Bit of Your Time – This Round Is Filling Up, Don’t Miss

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy here.

by Cassie on April 9, 2012

We had posted this earlier, but they are back open for new applicants, but it is a small window so don’t miss out if you wanted to try and see if this was a company worth spending your survey time on!

Valued Opinions is accepting new applicants right now.  We wanted to give you a heads-up because as we have mentioned before, survey companies can be great opportunities to earn a little extra money!

This company rewards you with gift cards for your time.  According to many testimonials, the gift card rewards from this company offer greater reward for less time than many related cash-survey companies.  Let’s break this down: you can earn the same amount faster then using a cash-survey company!

When you fill-out the registration, you will be able to select which gift card you would like to be rewarded with.  Here’s a list of the retailers you can earn gift cards from:

We chose Amazon, of course :) , as this is just as good as cash.  Yes it won’t pay your electric bill, but if you snatched a $20 Amazon gift card a 2 or 3 times per month, it can help with your grocery bill (Amazon has great food and household deals), diapers (don’t miss our weekly online diaper deals), Christmas, or other necessities which means that the money you save can go towards another bill or financial goal!

With Valued Opinions, you share your thoughts taking surveys about products/services and you will receive the value of each survey in your tracker and then once you reach $20, you can claim your gift card and then keep going! Each survey has a different reward value and different length of time for each.  You can take as little or many surveys as you want, but you will “bank” your rewards dollars.  It actually reminds us a lot like Swagbucks!

Here’s how to get started – we just went through the steps and it was just a couple of minutes:

  • Click on the “Send Me My Activation email” button

  • Check your email that your registered with to activate your account. Look for this purple button in the body of your email:

The above steps take less than 2 minutes to complete!

AND then, unlike a lot of survey companies, you will be able to complete your profile and receive a $1 reward for it!  This is the part that gets your demographic information (i.e. age, family size, interests, etc.) so that you can be connected to the right surveys.

This profile survey took me just over 5 minutes to complete, but getting rewarded for it was nice, as most survey companies require this upon registration without any compensation.

That’s it and you are ready to go!

Head to the Valued Opinions Site through this link HERE to quickly register.

It’s Back – FREE Full-Size Samples Plus Get Paid For Your Opinion

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy here.

by Cassie on March 26, 2012


Receive full-size product samples in the mail too!

This is back open! Check out the details we previously posted about below!

Check out how you can get paid for your opinion as today’s money making highlight that is available right now for you to utilize to bring in a little extra (even every month if you take surveys each month!).  This is one that you can do from home in with just a few minutes a day! Survey companies that conduct market research are a popular way to earn a bit from home as brands and manufacturer’s are wanting to know which direction they should go with their products or services and they are willing to pay people to tell them their thoughts.

Synovate is one of those companies that can allow you to make a little more from home by sharing your opinion.  Synovate opens for a short time when they are accepting new members and right now is that time!

Synovate is also a really cool one as you can earn cash AND receive FREE full-size product samples! This can all contribute to your household budget! They will send you these products that you can use and test out for FREE – you will just share your opinion on those products!

Here’s information from Synovate about their program that is open for enrollment right now:

We value your opinions. In fact, when you share your thoughts, we’ll give you reward points redeemable for checks or vouchers! Vouchers give you online or store credit to one of the many top retailers offered in our online store.

Every survey invitation you get says how many reward points you could earn by completing it. All you have to do is participate in surveys to bank reward points. It’s that easy! Once you have at least 5,000 points, redeem them for vouchers or checks Remember: The more surveys you participate in, the more points you can earn!

I, Cassie, have done a handful of survey options in the past.  Most do offer a rewards system that you can either redeem for prizes or even better – CASH (in the form of a check ;) ) like Synovate.  With consistency, you could receive a regular $20, $40, $50 etc. or so check each month.  We like to think of the survey type jobs in these terms: “what bill could job opportunity cover to make it more realistic for us to complete?” How would an extra $20, $40 or $50 a month affect your goal?  Now you cannot make a living off of doing surveys and nor will you get rich – but it is a way to earn just a little more to get to your goal a little faster.

To join Synovate, just head to their site here to apply. The application process includes a handful of questions regarding gender, age, household size, etc. so that you can be matched with the right surveys. Then you will receive email notification of your application status and then start earning and covering a bill each month! Please note: You will need to confirm your application from your email to get started. So get paid for your opinion while this round of applications is open!

Once you are registered, you can take surveys and take advantage of opportunities whenever you would like.  You are not committed to a certain number of surveys, just when it fits in your time or when you want to make a little extra!

Pinecone Research Open For New Applicants – One of the Highest Rated and Get $3 Per Survey

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy here.

by Cassie on March 23, 2012

Pinecone Research is open for a short time for new applicants! We’ve been wanting to tell you about Pinecone Research as another way to make a little extra money from home for a while now, but they fill-up and applications close so quickly!

Why?  Well because this is one of the most popular, most reputable and one of the highest rated survey companies available! The system they have is pretty slick and you will get paid $3 for each survey that you complete.  They pay quickly and you can get paid via PayPal or Check.   You can take as many or as few as you want and there is no set time to work – just when it is convenient for you!

With Pinecone Research, you share your thoughts taking surveys about products/services.  They do this for market research as companies are willing to pay for the thoughts of real users so that they can attempt to make their product or service even better. It is a huge benefit for them to get these opinions. But with that, you can make a little money too!

As we have mentioned before, you cannot get rich or quit a job taking surveys all day (we haven’t met anyone that has done this anyway:)) but you can make a little money to pay a bill, go into savings towards the next family vacation, or even be your monthly date night/family night money!  If you did something like this once a day, you can literally have a goal to pay a bill or two or to even bank the money for a family financial goal that you are working towards.

Please note: Pinecone Research is open for new applicants, but you will need to register and fill-out the form as they are looking for specific demographics on this round of open applications.  However, we are not sure how long they will be open – it just depends on how quickly they fill their current need!

Head to the Pinecone Research site through this link HERE to quickly register.

Office Max Online: .04 for 22 Reams Copy Paper Shipped FREE

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy here.

by Cassie on January 24, 2012

Office Max is offering a super sweet deal on two cases of paper where you can get two cases for only .02 and shipped FREE through the Max Perks Rewards program, after getting back 100% in Max Perks Rewards. We stocked up last time that they had this deal (which was over a year ago) and we still have some left, even after all of the coupon prints ;) So we love this sale as it means the cost of printing coupons, making copies for our homeschool needs, making copies for our speaking engagements and much more end up being significantly cheaper due to this specific paper sale that pops up every once in a while! We finally top off the discount on home printing and copying by combining many ways to save at Office Max on the ink.  We use these rewards to buy the ink on an ink sale!

So, with the sale this week, you can shop from home and these will ship FREE to you! In the end, you can choose to get as much as 22 500-sheet reams of paper for only .04 shipped FREE!

This is also a wonderful idea and deal for a family home business to take advantage of! This will save you loads of money!

Here’s how:

  • Head to the Office Max Max Perks Rewards Program promotional items page HERE
  • Then click on the .01 paper
  • Add two cases of paper for $41.99 each = $83.98
  • Then add two Office Max brand multipurpose paper for $6.99 each ($13.98) for a total of $97.96 for 22 Reams of paper out of pocket cost (some areas will also pay tax)
  • Then receive FREE shipping for spending over $50
  • Then receive 97.90 back on your Max Perks account to spend on anything (except gift cards) in Office Max = final is like spending only .04 total for two cases of paper and shipped FREE

You will pay for the items out of your pocket now, and then you will see almost all of it go back onto your Max Perks Rewards card to use at Office Max in the future! These rewards can be used to purchase anything in the store (except gift cards).

When we receive our Office Max rewards, we use them to purchase ink when we receive them and we rarely need to pay for ink. We will also wait for an ink sale or promotion at Office Max to use our rewards on to stretch our rewards as far as possible.  For example, this past week, they had a promotion where if you spent $49 on ink, you received a $10 Office Max gift card.  We also used a $15 off coupon that we received in the mail – so we got an additional $25 off our ink and paid for them with our Office Max rewards from previous promotions like the one above!

You can also shop through Ebates for 3% cash back rebate and turn this into a money maker deal. Head to Ebates HERE for the details on the rebates.

This deal is valid while supplies last.

Easy Way for Moms To Make a Little Extra Income from Home Plus FREE $5 Just For Registering (It Is FREE)

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy here.

by Cassie on January 11, 2012

This is an AWESOME new survey company called Mommy Talks! We posted about this in November for those of you looking to make a little extra income from home.  At that time, I registered for this myself and it took my about 3 minutes to register for a new account. And just by registering – I received $5 cash! These are surveys geared towards moms about products for moms and babies.

Even better is that they have a super slick survey taking-and-reward system – better than any we have ever seen from a survey company! They have a chart showing you how many surveys are available for you to take, how long they will take and the actual cash amount you will receive for taking it! This is a great opportunity to make a little extra cash too!

Here’s a screen shot of some of the surveys available to me today after registering for a new account! I actually had 64 that I could take!

You can see from the chart from my account, with a survey or two a day, at the end of each month – you could get a nice check!

In addition, I receive a daily email with an opportunity for a survey that day (other than logging in and choosing more to do that day if I wanted) and the email looks like this:

What I love about this is that they are clear about approximately how long this survey will take and then the reward I will get for taking this survey.  In this case, it is $2.50 cash for a 10 minute survey.  That is not too bad of a way to spend 10 minutes.  If you did something like this once a day, you can literally have a goal to pay a bill or two or to even bank the money for a family financial goal that you are working towards.

IMPORTANT: To get your $5 bonus – your account will show a $0.00 balance after registering.  But just hop on over to the email account that you registered with and click on the email to confirm – you will not get your $5 until they can confirm who you say you are.  It will look like this in your email:

Then once you click on through in your email, then your account balance will show the $5 and then start taking surveys to earn more!!

We are not sure how long they will be offering the $5 bonus – so take a few minutes and get registered for your $5.  Then log-in whenever you would like to make a bit of cash!

Head to the Mommy Talks site through this link HERE for your $5 bonus
