Incentive & Rewards Programs Save Money


Search & Win

Swagbucks

 Swagbucks is a free site where you can earn digital dollars "swag bucks" by searching the web, reading blogs, taking surveys/polls, and shopping online. Swagbucks are redeemable for lots of great rewards.  My favorite is the $5 amazon gift certificate for 450 Swag Bucks.  If you are new to the program here's a referral code.  For a limited time you can get 50 bonus swagbucks when you follow the referral link, open a new account and enter code: HelpJapan.

Pampers Gifts to Grow Points

Picture
Earn points for items you buy anyway.  Sign up for an account at pampers.com and enter codes that are redeemable for rewards.  You'll also be entered to win free diapers and wipes for a year!  You can find codes on packages of wipes and diapers that you purchase (one-time use only).  Keep an eye out for promotional codes that Pampers put out fairly often for free rewards. They add up fast.  You can redeem for toys, coupons, free shutterfly products and more.  See crazycouponmommy's blog for a list of all the current free codes.  Thanks crazycouponmommy!  Pampers also offers tons of great, free info on pregnancy, parenting, and diapering as well as coupons and trial offers.

Huggies "Enjoy the Ride" 

Picture
Huggies is doing the same thing as pampers with the codes.  They have some great sweepstakes and instant win games.  Again, crazycouponmommy has done the work in collecting all the free codes.  The Huggies website also has opportunities to earn codes by watching short videos and taking polls.

Disney Movie Rewards

Disney has a rewards program similar to the diaper programs where you earn points for purchasing Disney DVDs and Blu-Ray, seeing Disney movies in the theater, and purchasing Disney CDs.  Crazycouponmommy has a list of free codes for this rewards program as well.  Points are redeemable at the Disney site.  Email me if you would like a referral code for this program.

Ebates

Sometimes we just have to spend money.  If you're going to spend it anyway, you might as well earn some rewards while doing so!  Ebates is a program that rewards you for shopping online.  You sign up for an account, go to ebates.com, search the store you want to purchase from (not all stores participate), and click on the stores link to bring you to their website via Ebates.  Ebates generates a tracking form and anything you purchase from that store earns you cash back.  Every 3 months you get a "big fat check" in the mail with your rewards.  Some of the best cash back rewards I've earned are 10% back from kodakgallery.com and 5% back from vistaprint.  I don't shop that much and I've earned over $20 since I joined.  In addition to cash back, when you look up a store on ebates they have a list of available coupon codes.  If there is not a code listed do not assume there isn't one available!  Google the stores name and "coupon code" or check out my blog for current coupon codes to see if there is one available.  If you click on my referral link then we both get a $5 referral bonus.  Happy shopping!  P.S.- Ebates will not sell your information to third-parties. 

Viewpoints

I waited to post this until I knew it worked.  Viewpoints is a site that basically consists of reviews of all types of products.  I signed up for a free account and reviewed 10 baby & home related products and got a $10 amazon gift certificate!  It took a few weeks to get the gift certificate but it did come.  In the email they invited me back to write more reviews because they run a $10 gift certificate program every month.  This is great.  I can write reviews while watching TV and relaxing and get $10 a month!  The reviews have to be in certain categories which are clearly listed on the site and have to be 900 word paragraphs but it has a word counter that makes it easy to keep track.  They are running a promotion currently where 10 reviews gets you a $10 iCard good at multiple stores (babygap, Gap, Old Navy, etc.)  See site for details.

Kohl's Cash

Picture
Shopping at Kohl's is a great way to save money.  I don't like to sign up for store credit cards, in general, but a Kohl's card is worth having because the rewards are huge.  The have quarterly mailings (sometimes monthly) in which Kohl's cardholders get 15%, 20%, or 30% off coupons on purchases using their Kohl's charge.  Unlike Babies R Us and Bed, Bath & Beyond, Kohl's coupons can be used on any product- no brand exclusions.  In addition to these coupons Kohl's often runs Kohl's cash promotions where you earn $10 in Kohl's cash for every $50 spent.  These $10 can be used like gift cards on anything in the store.  This is why I love Kohl's.  Now, even though you the Kohl's cash can only be used in-store, you still can earn Kohl's cash for online purchases.  Also, Ebates offers 2% back on purchases at Kohl's.com.
