Way to go, Spanishpoet. I've gotta to pay a lot more attention to this thread. Hard times ahead and this kind of ingenuity will be one of the main ways I forge onward.

I redeemed $100 in Air Miles for a Sobeys gift card, which I used to fill my prescription and earn 20x Air Miles.
Submitted my receipt for a $25 pre-paid Master Card from the Maple Leaf/Schneiders promotion.
$50 gift certificate to our local Boston Pizza. My brother gave it to us for the several weekends that we have cared for their children while they have been moving.

Now that the weather is turning nicer, I'm able to take longer walks with our children. On Monday I collected a large grocery bag full of bottles and cans to recycle, plus I found 30c in change.

Angel: good for you to help the environment and make some money along the way.
This was a good week for PCpoints. 110.00 in groceries for free.

I noticed that I haven't received emails from one of the survey site, so I tried to log on, but I couldn't. So I emailed customer service and I was told that my account was closed due to inactivity. It may have slipped when I changed to my new laptop. When I logged in, I learned that I had $70+ worth of points. So I requested $60 worth of Starbucks card for now.

$5.90 in SARCAN returns, half of it was picked up while walking around town.

Used $30 in PC Plus points for groceries yesterday.

Gift cards do not expire, right? Found old The Bay/Zellers/Home Outfitters gift cards in my old wallet. These are gcs I got in exchange for HBC rewards points back in 2011, I think.

@Grey , from the Government of Ontario website...

"The Consumer Protection Act bans most retail business gift cards from having an expiry date. This means a gift card can be used to its full value no matter when you decide to use it."

"Some of the fees that a business is no longer allowed to charge are activation fees and dormancy fees." Also from the Ministry of Consumer Services...

Based on these, the gift card should still be valid, but you won't know for certain until you try to use it

There is usually a phone # on the back of the card to check your balance.

Made $40 yesterday for participating in a research study at the University. My boys made $20 each as well in the form of a GC!
