As I mentioned in the Loy Happenings blog, signups/sales via these links below will give referral points/commissions to your site host, entitling us both to perks for your participation. :-) This will help offset costs of hosting and maintaining LoyHistory.com, and finance its upcoming new features. Some affiliate programs require approval before I can publish their ads, so more are yet to come. All businesses and point-promotion sites listed below, I've personally patronized and vouch for their great service.
Swagbucks is one of my all-around favorites. Besides surveys, you can get points just for doing web searches, watching short videos, and even for just popping in for a 1-question poll. (And bonus SB codes, or a hint to one's location, can often be found on the Swidget below by clicking the SC button.) About every week I get a $5 Amazon voucher for just 450 SB, good for nearly everything at Amazon.com.
Irazoo offers points similar to Swagbucks. These points can be redeemed for valuable gift cards.
MyPoints offers points for online purchases, filling out surveys, watching video ads and other promotions. These points can be redeemed for valuable gift cards.
Zoombucks is another site that offers points similar to Swagbucks. These points can be redeemed for valuable gift cards.
MyView offers points for filling out surveys, which can be redeemed for valuable gift cards.
More to come
Hostmonster is the paid hosting provider for The Complete Loy History Website. They have a 24/7 help desk and calls go right through to a live person. When I've called, I've always gotten a rep right away. Being headquartered in the U.S. and not overseas, you can be assured customer support definitely speaks English!
For good deals in health foods and organic health/beauty items, I like Vitacost. My favorite items are their essential oils and natural soaps. Besides discount prices, flat rate $4.99 shipping, or free shipping for purchases over $49, by using this link, we each get a $10 credit for your first order, no purchase minimum.
Sites where you can buy vouchers and get national or local products/services at a great discount. Products offered change daily or until available quantity runs out. By signing up for email notifications, you can get daily/weekly notices when these sales are in effect.
One of the first I joined was Groupon. They have local and national offers. I'd missed out on their half price offer at a hair salon I normally visit. But later, I took advantage of their Ebay promo: buy a $7 Groupon Voucher and get $15 to spend on Ebay. At that time, a points website I use was offering points for Ebay purchases, and Ebay's "Ebay Bucks" promo had just started that week. So I got three deals in one! Twice I got $20 to use at Old Navy for $10...which was basically free with my $10 referral credits.
I recently joined Savemore. When you sign up, they award you $10 to start with. Some of their offered products can be purchased for $10 or less, so one could actually get first purchase for free. I got 2 folding vases ($12 value for $6) using $6 of the $10 credit.
When I joined Eversave, they also credited money into my account. Between that and their daily discount promo, I was able to get a 6-piece "hotel-quality" bamboo white towel set for $39.
Earlier, I joined Beyond the Rack. When I signed up, they automatically awarded $10, too. Thus far, I haven't ordered through them. Their offers are mainly through designer merchants.
I just joined Modnique. At signup, I was given $5 to start with. At present, they're offering free shipping, too. I've not ordered anything yet, but with many of their daily deals in the $10 range, using the $5 credit, one could easily buy something for $5 or less.
More incentive opportunities to come...
