It is usually within the same day if it is a weekday. If it is late sometimes it will go over into the next day. On weekends sometimes it takes unitl Monday. Tricia has to manually do those so they dont update automatically.

That's a funny thought.

I think most people just don't understand the whole rewards thing. Plus, I know most of my friends/neighbors don't get excited over pennies like I do, lol! If only they would realize that it does add up!

It's kind of like how some people see a penny on the ground but feel it isn't worth their effort to pick it up.

DH doesn't even really understand what I do for my 'part time job'. He didn't want to do a disney trip this summer (said we couldn't afford it), so I asked him a few months ago how much I would have to save for us to be able to go. He didn't realize that I had been secretly saving all of my rewards money for a disney trip, so he tells me that when I have $600, we can go!

He almost fell over when I said I had double that, lol! We now have $2300 saved in disney dollars, disney gift cards, gas cards, fast food, and restaurants -- all from rewards programs and sweepstakes, another hobby of mine (I won a disney trip last summer

). Plus we purchased another $1200 in disney cards when they were giving the 10% back, so most of our vacation is paid for already.

My husband didn't realize it until I had the gift cards in my hands last September when we went. I use to cash in on m******* for the web certificates and then take the 25.00 and turn them into gift cards for disney and then I got 1 from Tricia. This year we are really tight from me loosing my job for a month and so I had to prove myself when it came to this. And I have 275.00 sitting here plus whatever I have in my account plus a 25.00 rainforest gift card from ********. So it is adding up. I am a firm believer on rewards sites after it paid for a bathroom remodel.

As far as change goes, I am a huge find a penny pick it up as long as it is heads up. But I have a change jar and when it is full we roll it. Most banks around here don't take rolled coin anymore though. But when we got married almost 6 years ago we rolled coin and actually had quite a bit of spending money because of it. Well over 500.00.

Bartleby1-$2300 is awesome! Congrats & have a great trip!!
kimintrent-Isn't it amazing how much coins add up? The last two years I've been able to use my rolled coins (once deposited of course) for our car rental! DH doesn't like it when I bring out my coin counter! I love it though!

My DH laughed when I started the reward sites this winter. He said, "you're getting paid for surveys?" (Well, yeah & other things, but it's pointless to explain to someone who thinks it's silly.) Anyway, I'll be surprising him this weekend with our trip in September & how I've earned $475 towards it from these "silly" sites! PLUS, how much I still have to cash out before we go for spending!

I have a sneaking suspcion that "someone" will be making sure I do my sites each night knowing how much I could be bringing in September now!!

It's awesome!!

Great Job!!!!!

My DH was skeptical at first until he saw me whipping out my Disney cards at WDW last Nov. Now he is excited about having them to use again this Oct!

I also collect change. I have a container on our counter and all change goes into it. While I don't have a ton of money in there quite yet, I think it will at least pay for a TS meal for the three of us.

Don't know if you know this, but there are CoinStar locations that give gift cards with no charge to the consumer. Recently we used the machine, and I could have gotten cash for their 9% charge (1% less than the banks around here want to charge for more than one or two rolls of coins), but instead I got an amazon gift card (actually just the code) for no charge to me.
