Check Your Receipts!

I think I mentioned this previously, but it pays to check your receipts after the clerk hands them back to you. Not right away necessarily and I am not saying that you should be checking for errors (but that never hurts either because sometimes you just don't get the prices that are advertised). 

Many times at the bottom of your receipt, the store invites you to go online to take a survey. There is usually a perk for participating! Often times it is an instant percentage off coupon for a future purchase. I did a survey today at JCP and received a coupon for 15% off my next purchase. If I combine that with free pickup at the store I am sure to get some great savings. Sometimes with your survey you will be entered into a sweepstakes, but I haven't had one of those yet.

I never hurts to look at the receipt to see what rewards mindful shoppers are being offered!

Taking Surveys

Check your receipts when you shop. Just recently I got three receipts that all offered either a discount or entry into a drawing upon completion of an online survey. I don't mind spending 15 minutes online to fill out a form.  Who knows, if I enter enough of them maybe I might actually win something! My Old Navy receipt guarantees me 10% off on my  next visit.  Do I hear Christmas shopping beckoning me? You bet!

Most times the cashiers will tell you that there is a survey on the receipt, but I had no idea that there was one on my grocery receipt until I checked. I also was invited to do online surveys several years back.  Each survey that I take earns me between 10 cents and multiple dollars depending on how well I match their criteria. I take between 3 to 4 a month, so that's not so bad.

The survey website banks my credits and I can redeem them for different things.  I initially did it for American Airlines miles, but they don't participate anymore. There are other airline's mileage, and various vendors, but mostly I have redeemed them for pizza gift cards and Border's Book gift cards. Every little bit helps. I will definitely be using the Border's cards for Christmas shopping!
