Recommended Site: Get Rewarded for what you do already!

Do you read e-mails? Do you shop online? Would you like a little reward for your time and money?

I have been a My Points member since 2005 and have loved the experience from the very beginning. Unlike other reward programs, with My Points you have no obligation to make purchases. While I do shop through their link ups to many of the sites I already frequented and get the bonus points, most of my earning comes from clicking on a few e-mails a day. Over the years I've earned gift cards to Borders (I miss you!), Walmart, Target and my recent fave- gas stations.

The e-mails are not overwhelming, I have never noticed an increase in spam and you can customize your experience. Special offers and discounts are made available to you by e-mail and website. You can even print grocery store coupons and earn points for using them. Quick point opportunities are available on the website and there are frequent, fun promotions.

The only downside I have found to the program is when redeeming rewards. I personally like to enter a point range and see everything I could earn within that range pop up. The My Points system does not allow for ranges. You can scroll through all rewards to find one that matches the points burning a hole in your virtual pocket, or you can choose by category and find something you know you'll love. There are gift cards to big name stores, specialty boutiques, restaurants, gas stations, even for charitable donations. My Points now even offers the chance to convert points into cash, deposited into your PayPal account.

Recommended Savings Site (and sweepstakes)

Savings Star is a unique program offering coupons on everyday grocery purchases. How is that unique, you ask?

You don't clip these coupons, bring them to the store or deal with any muss and fuss. You simply go online, click the ones you want and shop with your store rewards card. After you purchase the selected items, money builds in your Savings Star account and when you reach $5 or more, you redeem for bank or Paypal deposit, Amazon gift cards or donations to American Forests.

Participating stores include:
A&P
Big Y
CVS
Food Town
Hanniford
Rite Aid
Shop Rite
Stop and Shop

Reviews of this program have been good both in shopping articles and online comments. Due to our primarily organic, natural and health food lifestyle of late, I do not have a lot of opportunity to take advantage of many of the deals, but it takes me two minutes to check in weekly and select the coupons I might use over the next two weeks to a month. After all, money for what I'm already buying is a sure pleaser in my book. So why wouldn't you join?
