SurveySavvy Paid Surveys Update

If you follow this blog you will know that the onluy PaidSurvey site I work with is SurveySavvy. I did a review of SurveySavvy back in December 2007 and not much has changed. I’m still getting the survey email offers. Unfortuently I haven’t been responding to as many as I would like, but the biggest surprise was the number of referral surveys I was was paid for.

Don’t forget that you get paid for each survey a referral does as well as any survey their referrals complete.

The total amount of money I have made through SurveySavvy since I opened my account back in 2007 is $774.50. That is cash in my pocket folks, no credits or a balance that I have to use toward some kind of reward program. Pure cash that I get in the form of a check mailed to my home.

If you are looking to make a little cash on the side without having to do a whole lot of work, you should definetly consider SurveySavvy. You don’t receive phone calls, your email address isn’t sold to spam companies, you just get survey requests via email. If you want to respond you respond if you don’t then ignore it.

I’ve tried other paid survey sites like CashCrate and others but they never really panned out for me like SurveySavvy has in terms of making larger amounts of money. If anyone knows of any other survey sites where you can get paid cash for surveys please post a comment here as I would be interested in looking at it.

WTDirect Promo – Up To $150 Bonus for New Account – August 2009

From Budgetcents.net: There is a new WTDirect Promo where you can get up to $150 for opening a new High Yield Savings Account. The amount of ther bonus is based on the amount that you open the account with.

Here are possible bonus levels:

• $150 bonus for $50,000 balance
• $100 bonus for $40,000 balance
• $75 bonus for $30,000 balance
• $50 bonus for $20,000 balance
• $25 bonus for $10,000 balance

See the Promo Page for more details

The bonus will be in addition to the 1.76% current APY that is being offered for money in this account. That is a pretty respectable rate considering the current market conditions. And don’t forget that WTDirect is FDIC insured, so no need to worry about moving your money here.

What you need to do:

• OPEN a new account HERE
• LINK an existing bank account to your new WTDirect account during the application process.
• FUND your new account by initiating an online transfer by 8/15/009.
• KEEP your funds in the account through October 31st 2009
• EARN your bonus — calculated by determining the average balance from 7/31/09 – 10/31/09. During that time, you will have 100% access to your funds.
• RECEIVE your cash bonus in mid-November. It will be deposited directly to your WTDirect account

WTDirect has had decent bonuses in the past, but they tend to end quickly once a lot of people start signing up. So get in if this looks attractive to you. I am jumping in on this once since I missed the previous bonus.

WTDirect Details:
WTDirect is a division of Wilmington Trust FSB which has been FDIC insured since 1994

Another Woot Off!

Woot.com is having another of its Woot Offs right now. It started around midnight central time and will go until they run out of stuff. If you are unfamiliar with Woot.com, they are a site that offers items at a discount. Usually only one item is listed per day starting at 12am Central Time and is listed until it is sold out or 11:59PM Central Time.

A Woot Off, which happens rarely, is a number of products that are for sale on a particular day or successive days. One product follows another as soon as it has been sold out. The number of Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced so an item could take a while to sell out or sell out immediately. Don’t miss a chance to score some items at a steal if you have some money to blow! But remember, that I prefer you really think about saving it.
