New! Swagbuck Toolbar makes daily earning easier!
Swagbucks has introduced a great tool and I love it! It's the Swagbucks Toolbar. Once downloaded you have access directly at the top of your web browser. I downloaded the toolbar and have not forgotten to use it at all!
It automatically signs you in with your account so anytime you search within the toolbar the Swagbucks that you earn go directly into your account without opening a separate page up!
If you would like to download the Swagbucks.com toolbar you can go here! Click on "Toolbar" for more information!
What is Swagbucks? A search engine just like Google but with each search you have a chance to win bucks which can later be traded in for prizes.

How would you like to make $15? Read On To Learn How!

I sell on eBay occasionally and know that when individuals pay you through Paypal there is a 6%+ fee that they charge you to use their program! Revolution Money Exchange charges absolutely NO fees and that is wonderful!
They are trying to get as many people "on board" with their program and to make the deal even sweeter you can get sign-on bonuses right now!
Right now they have a sign-up bonus of $10 going on! If you create an account with them they will deposit $10 into your Revolution Money Exchange account! BOOM! There is your first $10!
They also have an awesome referral program! For every individual that signs up through your referral you will get an additional $10 in referral fees deposited into your account!
A grand total of $15 for just minutes of your time!
- Sign Up AND Confirm Your Subscription to receive emails from SavingYourCents
- Use the button below to register with Revolution Money Exchange.
Once the email subscription is complete and your registration with Revolution Money Exchange is finalized (by me seeing your referral in my personal account) I will send you back half of your referral fee! I will get $10 for referring you and I would like to share half of that with you! It's a Win-Win situation for everyone!
Please read the following tips before proceeding to register an account with Revolution Money Exchange!
You DO NOT have to enter your bank information to be a part of this deal! Some individuals may feel uncomfortable giving out such personal information and I want to let you know that YOU DO NOT HAVE TO!
You will have to give them your Social Security Number. As with Paypal, Revolution Money Exchange uses your Social Security Number to verify that You are You. I signed up back in the summer and have had no security issues with the site! Many other reputable web site have referred this company without any problems!
Once you sign up for an account you will see the $10 in your account. One thing you will want to do is to refer any adults in your home! Husband, Wife, Sister, etc. You will be able to send referral emails to anyone that you know through them once your account is created! FOR EACH PERSON THAT YOU REFER YOU WILL RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL $10. You are allowed to refer up to 50 people. THAT's $500! WOW!
***You will see the referral money in your account...YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THE MONEY BEFORE YOU CAN ACCESS IT! There will be an accept button for you to click on for each $10!***
Since you didn't enter banking information you can choose the option to have a check mailed to you! I pulled money out of the account this past summer and cashed the check with NO PROBLEM! Here's the catch! They will charge you a fee of $2.50 for the mailing of the check! Still not a bad deal for free money!
Here's what to do if you sign up your husband or wife! Like I said before, when you sign up you receive the $10. Once they sign up they will receive $10 and you will receive an additional $10. You will have $20 in your account and they will have $10 in their account! If you both live in the same household there's NO NEED to request separate checks! If you do, they will take $2.50 out of yours and $2.50 out of theirs! You will want to take the $10 in their account and have them send it to you as a payment into your account! Once you do this their balance will be $0 and yours will be $30. NOW you can request the check!
You can have multiple accounts set up in the same household as long as there are different people all with valid social security numbers! The social security numbers are used to validate the addresses!
Once you request the check you can only enter the amount for the check minus the $2.50. So, if you have $30 in your account then you will want to enter $27.50 for the amount of the check you are requesting! You have just saved yourself another $2.50 by combining the money from 2 accounts!
My mother and brother allowed me to refer them and just keep the money for myself! I was able to transfer their money along with my husbands all into my account and cut one check from it! I received my $10 for signing up, $30 in referral fees for my husband, brother, and mother, and since they let me keep their money I transferred their $10 each into my account for a total of $70 for 4 people! I was really excited when I received the check in the mail and I hope you will be too!
If you have any questions please email me or leave a comment and I will get back with you as soon as I can!
Click on this button to sign up now!

*************UPDATE**************
According to an anonymous commenter, there may be a possible issue with receiving the $10 sign-up bonus. I am not sure what the problem may be, but until I receive correspondence from Revolution Money Exchange I would like to ask that no one signs up for the program yet. I do not want there to be registration under false pretenses and want to make sure that everything is working correctly before anyone else continues. If anyone else has already signed up for the program and received the $10 bonus in their account please contact me to let me know @ savingyourcents @ comcast dot net

Tip of the week for CashCrate Users!

When you get to the part of a survey where it has you select either "yes" or "no" to a long list of items...take this shortcut!
Select "no" for the very first one and then press the ALT key and the "=" key.
This shortcut will select "no" for all of the answers!
Additional Tip: You will be required to select "yes" to at least one of these but you can go back and select just the one rather than selecting answers for each individual button!
For more information on CashCrate view my recent article here!

CashCrate! What Is It and Should I Join? Legit Money Making Site Series!

I have had quite a few people email me and ask me about legit online companies that pay you for taking surveys!
Cashcrate is one of the companies that I get paid through! Although the earnings are not significant I usually get between $20-$50 per month through this site for about 3-4 hours of my time per month! If I spent more time here...I could make more! I spend about 10 minutes per day completing 3-5 offers each time! Right now I only have earned $5.30 due to my busy holiday schedule...but I will be completing more in the next couple of weeks!
This is the first of a few sites that I will be giving a review on! It is currently the only one that I am a current member of. I am going to try some other sites but I will not post on them until I get the first check and make sure that they are legit!
Who they are...
A survey hosting site that hosts surveys for a variety of marketing companies. Members may select surveys to participate in and receive compensation for their time. CashCrate takes a percentage of the earnings for running their business, but passes the remainder of earnings (up to 75%) on to members.
How much can I earn?
The amount you may earn depends on how much work you put in at CashCrate. Some members earn the minimum payout of $20.00 each month, while others earn over $1,000 (including earnings from referrals). Speaking of referrals, CashCrate has one of the better referral systems out there. In the interest of full disclosure, the majority of my earnings come from referrals, but it is possible to earn a decent amount of money each month just by completing surveys. If you have a blog of your own, adding a CashCrate referral banner or link is a great way to diversify your income.
Email Questions...
Most offers do require a valid email address, so it is a good idea to create a separate email account to dedicate to CashCrate. Otherwise, you will receive email from various advertisers at your primary email account. Remember though, this is not technically spam as you have agreed to receive offers by participating in the survey. Of course, this has little effect on me because I only check my dedicated CashCrate email account once a month or so.
How to earn money with CashCrate!
The fastest way to earn a $20.00 payout (which can easily be done your first day as a member), is to complete the 100% free offers. From the “Complete Offers” menu select “100% Free” from the “Show:” drop down filter. These surveys don’t pay as much, but they are typically shorter and do not require a credit card or trial-offer agreement to participate. When I work surveys these are the only ones I complete because I don’t like the idea of signing up for things just to earn money. I’m too forgetful and am likely to forget to cancel the trial offer in the required time. Stick to 100% free offers and the daily surveys, unless you are feeling adventurous.
When do I get paid?
Cashcrate's minimum payout is only $20. Users who meet it will have their payments processed by the 20th of the following month. So if you earn $250 in January, you'll get paid in mid February. The payments come from their account with Wells Fargo! I have not had one single problem with cashing the checks or receiving them in a timely manner (usually by not later than the 25th of the month)!
- I suggest keeping a log of the offers you complete and marking them off when they have been verified!
- Make sure that you read the last page of the surveys in detail. Some of them require that you confirm and email with them...and you may miss out on the pay-out if you miss this important detail!
- Use your main email address for CashCrate. Use a 2nd email address such as with gmail to do all your offers. You will get a lot of spam so you don't want to be bogged down having to look through a lot of emails.
- Make sure that you scroll down to the bottom of each page to see if there is a "Skip" option. This can cut your time down dramatically before you go and check "no" to the 20 or so that may be on the page!
- Be sure to clear the cookies off your computer between each survey. If you don't, some of the offers won't clear.
- Be sure to use your real information when filling out surveys.
- Do 2 or 3 offers then let those confirm first before doing more. This helps them confirm.
- I downloaded the program ROBOForm. It is a Free software program that you can download and enter your personal information in to help fill each survey out faster! You can go here to download it!
- Do Not Complete any of the Silver or Gold Offers (they lead to more surveys and eventually possibly asking for money). If you see a pop-up that comes up with a silver or gold offer...just "X" out of that page and continue the survey!
- Use their "confirmed surveys" post in the members forum area to see surveys that have confirmed for that day! This allows you to complete those offers first!
