The 2016-2017 "Other Money" Brag Thread!

[pansies2015]

So awesome that you get giftcards from Asking Canadians - I don't have that redemption option I just get aeroplan points - which take forever to add up! Lucky you

I just logged into my account using the monthly e-statement. I went to "Members Area" and chose Edit Profile. In my profile, bottom question with a drop down menu it says "incentive choice" and when I click on the drop down box there are about 7 choices!! Not sure if country or province makes a difference but they actually mail me a physical gift card!

Nice! I did the same one through them not too long ago Didn't pay me to keep the app running - hopefully I can get the offer again

So it is for real. Another $50 study in less than 1mnth. This one is 10 days. Maybe log into your account and/or install the app and re-sign in with the email you registered with and see if anything pops up. These are a bit intensive but after a few days I will get quicker at the 1/2 hr entries. Also interesting to pay a bit more attention to ones daily activities and spending habits/thoughts!!

Plus for the mypoints.com they said the app has been upgraded. Hoping that means less battery draining

Totally going to try re-installing pointspanel! Fingers crossed!

Thanks for sharing!

^what a month Spanish poet! where do I find out about Swagbucks?

[spanishpoet]

Thank you! I sent you a pm with details about swagbucks Happy to answer any questions you have as you go through

^what a month Spanish poet! where do I find out about Swagbucks?

smart source arrived today and it was awesome. cheered me up after a hard week. best was the brook side chocolate bar (devoured immediately) and 2 samples of VH sauce.

Keep an eye on in-store Shoppers Optimum points offers when you buy 2 Brookside chocolate bars. That is how I spotted my incentive to buy two flavours prior to the Sample Source box's arrival. YMMV depending on your food store Shoppers.

[seylz_gurl]

^thanks. It was really good. Dark chocolate is healthy, right?!?! lol.

End of April update:

PC pts Card #1 623,758 ($620.00 value)
PC pts Card # 2 46,175 ($40.00 value)
SDM 220,000 approx. ($380.00 value)
Airmiiles 283 (2 airmiles short for $30 at Foodland/Metro)
CT $ $3 approx. between on the card and paper (this will start to build now since this is wear I will gas up because of gc deal)


It was a hard month not cashing in PC PTS- I really wanted to but happy I didn't. Going to try and hold on to them for another month but also not spending much this month so don't expect an increase in points. I was lucky to do a large shop at SDM and gained over $75 pc pts because of a work purchase)

[spanishpoet]

You have WAY more discipline than me lol! Nice savings!

April was a little lower again..... with $72.00 in 'free money',
Gift Hulk -- $5 to Paypal
Stouffers Rewards -- $10 gift card. My last redemption because it's over in September and I don't think I can accumulate another 40 PINs for that!
Checkout 51 -- $21.50 (deposited into my Vacation account)
Pampers Rewards -- $10 SDM gift card
Healthy Essentials -- $25 iTunes gift card code.
Coupons -- .50 (I'm really slacking off on using my coupons lately)
Someday I'll catch up to you, @spanishpoet haha

Today alone I got $62. in 'free money'. $32 in nickles, dimes & quarters that were just sitting in a jar untouched, rolled & deposited into my Vacation account, cashed in $20. of Airmiles and $10 in SDM Optimum points. A great start to May!!

[spanishpoet]

Very nice @hogama ! Love that you're putting it in a vacation fund! A great way to spoil yourself for all of your hard work!

Nice start to May too

[johnb56789]

Cashed out $24.00 with CO51, most likely to pay off the mastercard this coming bill cycle
