Blastoff – a new cashback site plus more.

A Thrifty Geek — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 02:57:02 +0000

I have just been introduced to a new cashback website that I wanted to share with you. It is called BlastOff. It is a customizable webpage that you can set to your preferences and have some entertainment on the page also. such as hulu and the current news. Like I said, I have just been introduced to this by Kerri and what I have seen, I like it. It is a new company so it is always great to be on the front end.

When you sign up you will have links to multiple shops that you can link to for your shopping. When you purchase item, you get a cashback through BlastOff. This is the same concept as the sites Cashbaq and MrRebate and others listed below.

Why is this one any different? Well from what I see, there is not a huge difference but you do earn cashback from your items that you buy and as you tell you friends about it, you will earn cashback from their purchases. Thi is a great way to make some money and save some money for Christmas.

Last year I used a program like this to purchase the kids i touches. I liked through a site like this to Target and purchased them for $220 each. The great thing about it was I got 20% cashback on each. so I got the itouches for $180 each. You could not beat that price.

To sign up all you have to do is click here. You can watch the promo video or just click the join now button.

Other cashback sites that I use also: I would recommend joining each one to where you can get the best deal while shopping.

It is here!! It is finally here! My new computer.

A Thrifty Geek — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 02:32:11 +0000

Thank you SWAGBUCKS! You have heard me talk about how I have been saving my swagbucks gift cards and was saving for a new computer. Well, last Saturday night I cashed them in. I got an 11.5″ Mini Acer computer. It arrived at my door step today. AND it is RED!! I love Red. Red makes me smile!

If you are not familiar with Swagbucks, it is a google based search engine that you earn points, (swagbucks) for seaching. You can then exchange your swagbucks for giftcertificates and other items. I prefer to exchange mine for Amazon gift cards. Every 45 swagbucks gets me $5 in Amazon gift cards. You can buy everything including the kitchen sink on Amazon.

If you have not signed up yet for Swagbucks, click here. Then start telling your friends about swagbucks by using the referral option on the site. You can earn extra swagbucks when your friends win swagbucks.

Ok, now that I have the computer, I am now saving for a Weber Grill. It is more expensive but I figure I have all winter and spring to save my swagbucks and have it before grilling season starts. Wish me luck !

Nielsen’s Homescan Program

A Thrifty Geek — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:57:00 +0000

Nielsen’s Homescan is a company that I partnered with a few years back and enjoyed sharing my opinion with them also with giving a representation of what a family of four middle class buys and eats on a regular basis. Also, I got to earn points and get some good rewards. This program is easy and actually, my daughter enjoyed doing the scanning and transmitting for me. She thought it was fun.

The rewards are your compensation for doing the program but I think they are good rewards and not unrealistic to get.

Click on the picture above to register for the program. They only let so many in the program each time so, If you don’t get in this time, be sure and watch my site and I will post when you can sign up again.

And several more.

Just comment in this comment section and I will send you an email invite. Once you sign up you will need to add Tyson09 to the code section to get your 50 points.

This is a great rewards program to be on. I looked in my freezer and I already have several items that I am going to get to put in for points. I bet you do too.
