My Points.com This is the one I have used the longest and racks up a couple of hundred dollars a year. I use it when I want to shop online; I either use their search bar or type in a store I want to shop: Target, Office Depot, Petco, Overstock; buying checks, bubble wrap for work, shoes, Christmas presents. You name it, I search it and get 1 to 20 points per dollar.
In addition, I get points by printing & using supermarket coupons! Signing up for free trials (2000 for a Netflix trial). Clicking 1 question surveys. Sending flowers for Mother's Day (20 points per dollar!). Buying Gift Cards! Yep, buy a gift card for someone and earn on that too.
What do these points turn into? There are numerous rewards for different stores, money in your Paypal account or a pre-paid Visa card. My favorite is the Amazon Gift Cards: 3,850 Points converts to $25 gift code. 7400 Points converts to $50 gift code.

What do these points turn into? You can trade points for goodies, like trading from a catalog. For Amazon Gift Cards, 450 points converts to $5; 3,150 for a $25 card; 5,900 for a $50 card. Available for co.uk too.
Banking & credit card points My bank, PNC, gives out a point per dollar when I use my debit card as a credit card. I get points when I pay bills online. I get quadruple points when I use my business card. I need more points on this one to get good prizes from the catalog, but Amazon gift cards turn out to be the best point-to-dollar value that I have found. Example, a $50 item might take 40,000 points but I can get a $100 gift card for that.
If I go through MyPoints above to buy something with my bank card, I get points at both places!! Buying a new fridge? Find a website through MyPoints and buy with my card.... that's a heck of a lot of points right there!
Coinstar - when we tip all those pennies into a coinstar machine & find we have $80 from loose change, it's exciting! To count the coins though, they charge 9.8 cents per dollar counted in USA; 11.9 cents per dollar counted in Canada. Ouch! Well if you choose "Free Coin Counting" it will skip the fee and give you a eCertificate or gift card instead with no counting charge. Amazon is an option, so get those pennies saved and converted.
With one extra click, you could be turning a regular activity into a money maker! And it may seem to take a while to build points, but I've traded in for hundreds of dollars worth of gift cards over the past few years!
Know any more tips to earn $$ with something you are already doing anyway?
