So that is cool –> I’ve earned $80.00 price of Amazon credit score! Woo!
I began doing surveys for rewards final yr once I was bored and attempting to be extra productive, haha, after which proper earlier than I used to be gonna stop ‘cuz I began getting busy once more I made a decision to test and see what my factors have been price…
And seems, much more than nothing!
So I shortly cashed them in and launched my finger from the “delete my account” button, after which my youngsters blew by means of the $$$ in about quarter-hour 😂
Nonetheless, well worth the 5 hours complete I in all probability spent on it over the months? And have really come to get pleasure from giving my opinion over the cash itself! The surveys are at all times so numerous and will get me to cease and *suppose* for a sizzling second which is nice – at the very least after convincing my A.D.H.D. to pipe down, lol… (that’s in all probability the toughest a part of all – sitting nonetheless for 15 minutes straight and focusing!)
Right here’s a snapshot of my historical past so removed from the yr:
You possibly can see how numerous the surveys are in that right-hand column…
To this point we’ve coated gaming, Covid, healthcare, local weather points, public affairs, monetary objects, and authorized companies. Fairly severe stuff, and all issues most of us have opinions on! Or at the very least will LEARN you may have opinions on after seeing the questions, lol…
I’ve really been *studying* a ton of stuff alongside the way in which too – specifically that lots of people have it a lot worse on the market than I noticed 🙁 I wish to suppose I’ve a superb grasp on how “the opposite world” lives, however seeing among the pointed questions requested all through the surveys has def. helped put issues in higher perspective.
Right here have been among the ones I copied down from the healthcare affordability survey, ugh…
- Ever not search therapy because of price?
- Ever not get medicine due to price?
- Ever file chapter or drop insurance coverage or different equally as scary issues due to not having cash??
- How assured are you that you possibly can afford the well being care you want in case you, or a member of the family who’s financially depending on you, have been to change into critically ailing?
- If you happen to have been to expertise an surprising medical occasion this yr that left you with a invoice for $1,000, how assured are you that you’d have the cash to pay the invoice inside 30 days?
Are you able to think about answering “sure” to these high ones? Or not with the ability to cowl $1,000 simply normally??!
So coronary heart wrenching, gosh… And maybe there was a time I wouldn’t have been capable of afford any of it myself, however no manner I might have been left stranded with the household and help system I’ve been blessed with since start. The largest downside I had rising up was not with the ability to rock Nikes like all my associates 🙃
However I digress…

Simply by no means assumed it was well worth the commerce off for time (and possibly it isn’t with different survey websites?!), however after being contacted by these guys and liking what they have been about (appeared extra severe and useful than different foolish surveys), I figured I’d give it a shot and see the place I find yourself…
