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.
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...
