I may try to start going to Walmart again. I hate the one we have, but they just opened a new one on Wednesday. So I guess I should check it out!!

I very rarely sign up for any of the offers. I get my points one email at a time with surveys in between. I find that most of my fast points come from EBay, ITunes and Blair. If you go to the merchants once you sign in and click on them, thenh it will lead you to a window for the merchant that reports the amounts spent to MyPoints. For example, I go to Apple ITunes and let MyPoints open ITunes for me, and then I download what my son wants. This gives me 2 points per dollar. Same with EBay. Go through the MyPoints link and then sign in and do your bidding as usual. Then MyPoints gives 2-4 points per dollar (before shipping) depending on if they are running an EBay promo or not.

I go through the list first to see what I can get the most of for the fewest points. Since going out to eat is a treat for me, the last two times, I've redeemed them for restaurant gift cards. One for Olive Garden, and the second one for On the Border. We're still waiting for the On the Border one. Actually, the cards are for a restaurant group, but I can't think of the company names right now.

We're waiting on this one. When it comes in, hubby and I will go have lunch together one day when the kids are in school:

Brinker: Chili's, On the Border, Maggiano's Little Italy, and Romano's Macaroni Grill. You can get a $25 gift card for 3250 points.

This is the last one I ordered:

Darden: Bahama Breeze, Olive Garden, Red Lobster and Smokey Bones. You can get a $25 gift card for 3250 points.

I would order a Target or Walmart one, but a $25 card is 3750 points.

I have been a member of MyPoints since April of 1998. Wow. Almost 10 years. LOL! I just realized that. I have taken a break due to no computer at times, since in 98 they were a little more expensive than they are now, and no where as easy to care for. But since my current account was opened, I have earned a lifetime total of almost 39000 Points. I usually only click the link that tells you to click for the 5 points, but I also shop on eBay, and I will go through MyPoints to shop other retailers because you get points for that. So that adds to your account. I also have all the options ticked, including things i have NO interest in, because they still give points for clicking the email.

So check out the site, pay attention to the shopping specials, click every 5 point email that they send and let your points build. It really won't take that long before you can cash out. The hardest thing is going to be trying to decide what you want to cash out for!

Is there a spot on the MyPoints site that says your lifetime points? I know MySurvey has it.
If I think about what it cost for all the gift cards I've gotten from them, it probably is around 32,000 or so...mostly one click at time with some EBay, ITunes, and retail purchases in between!

Default Pinecone has opened it applications!!

Lots of folks have asked about joining Pinecone...now you can!!! Here is the info......

Dear CHERIE:

PineCone Research is ready to grow and we need your help!

If you have ever told a friend about doing surveys for PineCone Research, it is likely that they have asked, "How can I join?"

Well, now you can tell them how to become part of this elite group of households. We are offering select members the opportunity to recommend membership to a friend or relative who is NOT a member of their household.

Do you know of households that would like to join the PineCone Research Panel? If so, please FORWARD A COPY of this email to each household you would like to refer so that they may click on the registration link shown below. That household should complete the registration form themselves and submit it. REMEMBER THAT ONLY ONE PERSON PER HOUSEHOLD MAY REGISTER. Multiple registrations of the same Household will void all registrations.

Here is the link to the registration:

https://www2.pineconeresearch.com/Si...p_Form_LI3.asp

As a member in good standing, you've already seen the benefits of being part of PineCone Research. So please, share the benefits of membership with a friend. Just don't forget, please don't tell them about any of the products that you have seen in our questionnaires or tried in your home. Remember, it's important that your PineCone Research survey and product testing experiences remain confidential.

If your referral has any questions, they can email us at scott@pineconeresearch.com or click on the attached links to learn more about PineCone Research.

http://www1.pineconeresearch.com//policy.htm

While this is not a paid referral program, we genuinely appreciate your help in spreading the word that PINECONE IS GROWING!

Thank you,

Karen Scott
