Dooyoo

Sorry for the long delay in posts. Been a very busy month. I earned nearly $100 
in Amazon.com giftcards in the last month from the sites I've reviewed here so 
far and there have been tons of insane deals that I've been distracted. But I'm 
back again with a new site for you to check out. So, without further ado, let's 
begin --

Dooyoo is a text based review site in the UK. US residents like myself can earn 
Amazon UK e-giftcards. If you live in the UK, you can claim a e-giftcard or a 
check. You also have the option to donate to charities.

Dooyoo has a collection of millions of consumer based reviews in every category 
possible - electronics, restaurants, makeup, candy, movies, personal 
reflections, and more. Each article has to be at least 150 words however the 
more extensive your review, the more attention and higher ratings you'll get 
from others reading it. Their votes are critical in your success because the 
higher its rated, the more points you earn toward claiming the €20 giftcard.

There's a social aspect to it in that you have to navigate around, read and rate 
other user's reviews, befriend them and so on to build your Dooyoo network so to 
speak. One hand washes the other in a sense because when you rate someone's 
review, they'll most likely rate one of yours. It takes 20,000 points to claim 
the reward and since most reviews give around 500 points, its imperative you 
write thorough reviews and also rate others. Their votes give you bonus points. 

Some of you may wonder what a €20 giftcard can do but there are numerous things 
you can purchase from Amazon UK. Not only that but they don't expire so you can 
work on gaining more then buying something nice. For me, I usually buy Nintendo 
DS video games. The system is region-free so you can play the UK version of 
games on a US system. The last game I bought was Dragon Quest V which I then 
resold on eBay for nearly $30.

Merry Christmas!

Opinion Outpost

OpinionOutpost.com is like MySurveys however it can get frustrating since its really a gamble if the surveys to redeem high points are still available, however you can claim your reward sooner.

New surveys appear on a regular basis and you'll receive email alerts once new ones become available. You only need a minimum of $5 if you want to claim an Amazon e-giftcard, Citi Giftcard, or a check of that value. In the last 2 weeks, I qualified for 4 surveys and redeemed a $6.10 Amazon giftcard.

Surveys can take anywhere from 10-40 minutes. Its better to get them done quickly after new ones appear because most meet their quota in 2 days or less. Each survey is worth a certain amount of points which is converted to dollars. So if something is worth 18 points, its worth $1.80. If a survey is worth 30 points, its worth $3.

Also, unlike other sites where you might have to wait up to 10 days for your e-giftcard, this site sends it immediately upon request.
