You might have heard about this deal, but I wanted to give you a step by step on how to complete it. The American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Card offers 10,000 points for signing up and making your first purchase. The annual fee is waived for the first year ($125). So it is a free charge card for one year.
After making your first purchase 10,000 points will be deposited in your account. The nice thing about AMEX is that you can get an advance on your 10,000 points as soon as you activate your card. So here’s what you do.
- Sign up for the American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Card. You can do that by going here. AmericanExpress.com
- They claim you will either be declined or accepted in 60 seconds. Mine took 2.32 since I’m a baller.
- If you were accepted wait 7-10 days for your card to come in the mail. It comes from Omaha, Nebraska. So don’t throw it out thinking it is junk mail.
- Activate your card.
- Sign into your account online and look for the points advance option in the rewards section.
- Advance 10,000 points towards some gift cards (GC’s). Wait for the gift card(s) to arrive. Mine took three days. I suggest Sak’s Fifth Avenue if you want to turn it into cash (you will see why in a second).
- If you don’t want to use the GC’s you can sell them for cash back to giftcardbuyback.com.
- Mail your GC’s to GCBB.
- Within 10 days you will receive a check ($78).
- Make a purchase with the card and pay it off (actually earn your 10,000 points).
The reason I chose Sak’s is because it has the best resale value (78%) of the cards that AMEX offers. If you can find another site or GC that has a better resale (that is one of the GC’s that Amex offers make sure to let us know. So within two weeks you can $100 in GC’s or within three weeks you can have $78. I chose the cash.

Global Test Market
If you have not read my five minute guide to online paid surveys please do it before you fuck yourself over Paid Surveys: Make Extra Cash.
Welcome to one of the higher paying survey sites Global Test Market. The only way to make money on this site is through online surveys and panels.
The Surveys
If you don’t qualify for a survey GTM will give you 5 Marketpoints ($.25). Easily the highest in the industry if you don’t qualify for a survey (most companies give you nothing). I receive around 4 surveys a week they average between 50 and 250 market points ($2.50-$7.50), but you can also qualify for online panels that pay more ($35 for an hour). I have not had a survey from GTM last more than 25 minutes and they have rates comparable to Opinion Outpost and Survey Spot.
Payout
The only drawback to GTM is that you have to have 1000 Marketpoints to cash out ($50). This can be reached easier than you think though. After you reach 1000 Marketpoints request a check. Mine took around six weeks, but it still came, and I am not complaining in anyway.
Yea $67 bones.
My Recommendations
Everyone should join GTM. There is money to be made here. I am already 1/3 of my way to another check. It is in my top three for best paying.
If you want to join please hit “Contact The Wi11is” make sure your email is correct, place GTM in the subject line. I get $1 for each referral, but I will also email you with some more tips and tricks to make money. If you have any questions just let me know, this is the seventh company that has paid out and I am hoping to have at least 10 by the time school starts back up, so watch for updates.

Friday June 6th stop in at Krispy Kreme and get a free doughnut to celebrate National Doughnut Day. Thought I would give all you fatties a heads up. Since you were wondering tubby, yes, you can get any type of doughnut for free (not just the glaze).
If you haven’t read my five minute guide to paid surveys, do it Paid Surveys: Make Extra Cash. Inbox Dollars is comparable to Cash Crate.
How to make money
Read Emails: 3 cents per email ( I average 3 emails a day) I have made $4.
Take Daily Survey: $.50 recently reduced from $1
Cash Offers: (I don’t do many, but there is a trick if you want to do a lot)
Shopping: They give you a percentage back if you are purchasing from a store online. So if you join check out the stores they have and if you do online shopping make sure to click through their site to get money back. (Apple, Dell, Newegg)
Payment takes 30 days after you reach $30, but they give you exact date and it took mine 3 days to get here after being sent. *Note they are tricky bastards and charge you $3 to process a payment. The good news is after your first payment you are given gold membership status. Then you can cash out and it only takes 3-9 days for the payment to be processed. Also gold members are given referrals of random people who join. They pay and it’s free money.
My Suggestions
I just love the fact that by clicking an email I am getting paid money. Even though it is not much it adds up. The .50 daily survey is less than Cash Crate’s $.80 so take Cash Crate’s daily survey first. They have a $30 minimum payment (kinda high). So, it will take you at least a month to get this unless you are smart motha. They give you $5 for just signing up which is nice. So sign up and start earning money. If you have any questions about paid surveys just hit “Contact The Wi11is” and I might be able to point you in the right direction and give you some pointers.

If you don’t already watch the show Criminal Minds on CBS you are missing out on AJ Cook. She is at her prime and looking fine. While all these slutty looking actresses are getting attention with DUI’s and crotch shots, AJ is a modest actress that doesn’t get the credit she deserves. Read the rest of this entry »
