Hi Nicole,
I came across your site and noticed that you have survey offers. I work for surveywinnings.com and we offer free paid surveys. We have an affiliate program and I was wondering if you’d be interested in taking part in the program.
Look forward to hearing from you

Hello, I am a regular to your site and I was just curious if you have ever used swaptree.com? I am on it regularly, it’s a great site to trade your dvds, books, cd’s, and video games. There isn’t a membership fee or anything, and I have gotten some really great items on it. I just wanted to let you know in case you didn’t know already. Thank you for the great site!
i was trying to register for the Ally Zabba Blanket give away but it says comments closed where do i go to say i love the chocodot-bown

Have u ever heard or tried gifts4points.com? If so, please let me know if its worth it!
Thanks again,
Rae
I’ve never heard of this so I can’t comment on its worth.
Have you ever heard of InboxDollars?
Hi,
Sorry I am new on this website. I want to enter into your sweepstakes but do not know how to do it. What does “Giveaway entry” mean, and how can I get it? Could you pls help me about this issue by sending me an email, thanks.
Sincerely
To enter, fill out the form. Under giveaway entry, you’ll need to do whatever the mandatory entry is (it says it right in the post). If you can do other entries besides the mandatory one (like follow me on twitter and tweet about the giveaway), then you’ll need to refresh your browser and fill out the “giveaway entry” section with your twitter name and a link to the tweet. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

I’m sorry, it was another Nancy S.
I was wondering if you could tell a few people about my new blog. I am talking about different survey sites I have used.
Hello Nicole,
I have a question about some of the surveys. I notice in the privacy acts of some of them that it says that they will not disclose your private information unless notified first, but I noticed that it does not say that they will never disclose your private information like full name and addess. Have you ever had a survey site disclose any of your information? I was interested in joining one or two that mentioned this,but was a little skeptical.
Thank you for you time.

Hello Nicole,
I also have a question about becoming a mystery shopper. What I would like to know if when you are picked for an assignment do you spend your own money and are then reimbursed? If so, how long does it take for the company that hired you to become a mystery shopper usually take to reimburse you? Also, are the items that you are told to purchase expensive?
Thank you once again.
Linda
I’ve never had any issues with survey companies releasing information.
Have you read my mystery shopping 101 post? I think this information is covered there. It depends on the assignment as to whether you spend money up front. If it’s a reimbursement shop (like a restaurant) then yes. If it’s a fee only shop (like a car dealership) then no. It will state in the assignment directions. The length of time for reimbursement depends on the company – each company will have their payment terms clearly stated on their website. As to your last question, again it depends on the particular assignment as to what, if anything, is required to be purchased – all information will be in the shop assignment.
