Working your MyPoints! (Dishwasher Day 1)

OK, guys, today is day one towards your brand new dishwasher...

This is my dishwasher...

http://www.lowes.com/pd_131122-2251-TDB210RFB_4294857925+9_4294937087?productId=1013611&Ns=p_product_price|1&pl=1¤tURL=/pl_$300%2Bor%2Bless_4294857925%209_4294937087_

Now we are going to pay for it? The first $50 came as a gift card from my mypoints. You may be asking yourself how I accrued so much, so today's lesson is working your mypoints!

1. WORK THE NETWORK Essentially, work together. Let me refer you, and then refer your friends, even if those friends will only ever accrue points by shopping online. You will not believe how quickly the points tally when you simply work together! :)

2. Read the e-mails and visit the sites! It takes two seconds and those points add up quickly! Do the surveys as well. They are worth 50 points a pop and only take a few minutes out of your day.

3. Daily Spin and Win Once again, it only takes a minute to spin the wheel everyday and instantly win up to 10,000 points!

4. Become a bzzagent. Bzzagent is awesome by itself, but paired up with Mypoints it is better than peanut butter and chocolate (which says a lot coming from me!)

I will provide an illustration. I am currently bzz-ing about Cover Girl Cosmetics. I love my new SmokyBlast shadow and Colorblast lipgloss. Anytime I talk about it, blog about it, twitter about it, etc. I get 50 free mypoints! How easy peasy is that?!?! Guess what? I just got 50 more! :)

5. Shop online when you can! Hate to pay shipping and handling? Visit retailmenot.com for an amazing assortment of coupon codes. I really don't know the last time I paid shipping. Retailmenot.com also offers combination coupons, so you can also get discounts.

Another illustration! I REALLY wanted Skecher tone-ups (they are like shape ups only flip flop variety). I went to Kohls.com

They were 54.99 on sale for 44.99. After visiting retailmenot.com, I got them for 21.00! :) By the way, I love them! They are comfy, and the other night I was getting a massage from my hot husband and he commented that my thighs were getting really hard! WOOHOO!

So, mypoints rewards you for online purchases. I got them uber cheap and earned 42 mypoints!

Mypoints are redeemable for Lowes gift cards so I have now obtained the first $50 for my brand new dishwasher. $169 to go!

Be blessed! The Freebie Junkie :)
