I do take surveys. I haven't really received much in the way of rewards - some coupons only. I do them when I have the time for companies or about companies that I patronize because I just think it's valuable to give feedback!
I take surveys found at the bottom of receipts. I've never won anything, but I do sometimes save money off of my next visit or in the case of Subway earn a free cookie.
I'm signed up with Survey Money to take occasional surveys. They donate 50 cents to a favorite charity every time I take one. So far, I've donated $9 to the Pet Finder Foundation.
Being someone who is about to go into college, this article really helps. There are so many people telling me "do this" and "do that". I just want to do what I want to do! I think ill be successful as long as I like what I do.
Yes, I take surveys. I've earned a little pocket money, but really should find a more lucrative way to spend that time. Isn't this a survey of sorts? :)
Yes, but it's a mixed bag. Sometimes I don't because I don't want to collect points. I actually want to win something. lol I haven't so far but one day I will!
If the stress is something I don't have control over or input on...I remove myself from it. I love to walk, especially in a park or forest. I pray and am simply quiet, observing things/people around me. I go to a coffee shop, get a mocha (mini-vacation in a cup!) and spend a few hours editing images or surfing the internet.
If the stress is something I have a choice about, am I ready to deal with it? Can I voice my feelings without blowing up? At some point, the cause of the stress needs to be addressed. Do I have time to write a response first (to boil it down to the basics), then verbalize my feelings? I find it's better to say "I need to think about my response, I'll answer you in a minute." than to blurt out all my pent-up feelings (including many fleeting thoughts that should have remained unsaid)!
I also find that nature or street photography is very therapeutic, as is weeding my garden!
We buy powdered vs. liquid detergent; frozen vs. pre-mixed juices; bulk vs. serving-sized packages; brew our own coffee; brown-bag lunches vs. fast food; water vs. energy drinks; hand-wash vs. dishwasher (since it's just 2 of us); hang vs. dryer for 30% of clothes; decide to pass on fake nails; take bus (as perk working at university) vs. driving; use coupons; selective buying at yard sales; husband does oil changes & light car maintenance himself; quality homemade gifts vs. store-bought (photography, wood crafts, baked items, etc.); when grocery/household items go on sale, buy extra to stock up!
I was downsized when I was in my early sixties, finding another job has been difficult, I had to start social Security early or starve. While being time consuming, surveys do offer a few extra bucks, I usually try to avoid the sites that take forever to pay and try to do a few when I get time.
Why does it say you can't refinance? You can refinance private loans, but only a few companies allow a refinance. Federal loans cannot be refinanced, only consolidated.
I am a member of both MyPoints and InBox Dollars and take surveys through those programs to earn points and dollars respectively. While neither program will pay my bills, I generally cash out both just before the holidays to make things a little easier.
I still take the occasional survey. They all pay various amounts of points that can be redeemed for gift cards or a check when--If!-- I accumulate enough.
At first itwas fun to get things like amazon gift cards for free, but eventually the novelty wore out. I realized that taking surveys is a major time suck. For the most part, I'd rather have my time than a five-buck gift card that takes hours to earn.

I try, but it's hard to find the time. I am pretty faithful to e-rewards for surveys, but Ipsos just sends too many.

Yes, but not as much since my baby was born.

Yes, I have taken surveys. I have been paid a couple of times.
Yes, I love to do surveys!

Thanks for the comment, Shannon. I'm happy to hear that this post inspired you to get back on track. Good luck!
The best reward I've ever received for taking a survey? Being able to tell a company and in industry what I felt and thought about them.

Yes. Those redeemable for cash.
I take surveys but only from a few trusted sites
We buy powdered vs. liquid detergent; frozen vs. pre-mixed juices; bulk vs. serving-sized packages; brew our own coffee; brown-bag lunches vs. fast food; water vs. energy drinks; hand-wash vs. dishwasher (since it's just 2 of us); hang vs. dryer for 30% of clothes; decide to pass on fake nails; take bus (as perk working at university) vs. driving; use coupons; selective buying at yard sales; husband does oil changes & light car maintenance himself; quality homemade gifts vs. store-bought (photography, wood crafts, baked items, etc.); when grocery/household items go on sale, buy extra to stock up!
I take Target surveys after shopping at the store for a chance to win gift cards.
no...it seems like many online put your computer at risk for viruses and such...not worth the frustration.

I occasionally take surveys online if they are not too long.

I take surveys usually for rewards. I also like to take surveys at the end of a call to report good or bad customer service.
I take surveys on occasion for products I use or like (or really don't like). The best reward I've received is a gift card, which is pretty sweet
