I’m a big fan of sites like Groupon for the daily deals to local restaurants and businesses, I also love to travel! That’s why I was really excited to find out about TripAlertz.
TripAlertz is kind of like Groupon for travel. From the website:
TripAlertz is the only online travel community where the prices go down as the number of bookings goes up.Collectively we can achieve epic prices on some of the most premium getaways in the world. The more people that book a deal (relax, you don’t have to travel together), the lower the overall cost. Plus, you can earn $5 in Trip Cash for every friend that you invite who joins, and there’s no limit. So tell all your friends about TripAlertz and find your ultimate getaway today.
- You’re in control before you even leave.
- You vote on upcoming deals. The ones with the most votes become bookable.
- Those deals then go live every TUESDAY and last for TWO WEEKS.
- You pay the at most our already low MEMBER PRICE.
- Once a certain number of people book the same deal, everyone gets our EPIC DEAL price.
- It’s that easy.
I’ve already found a couple great deals at TripAlertz and plan on using the site when I book a trip this fall. Best of all, it’s free to sign up and you can earn free travel for referring your friends.

My favorite survey site, Opinion Outpost, recently made their site even better. Now instead of waiting for a check to arrive after you have reached the minimum of $5 worth of points, you can cash out instantly for an Amazon.com gift code!
I’ve written about Opinion Outpost in my Paid Survey Sites Review section, and I consider it one of the best if not the best survey site on the web for the high number of good paying surveys that they send and the low payout minimum. The addition of instant payouts from Amazon.com makes it even better.
I tried the new instant payout feature a few weeks ago and it truly is instantaneous! You simply select the option to redeem an Amazon code, then select the numbe of points you wish to redeem (still a $5 minimum) and click confirm. A window with your gift card code is immediately displayed so you can add the balance to your Amazon account.
So if you haven’t yet, check out Opinion Outpost!

I know I talk on this site a lot about Swagbucks and search and win sites. One of these days I’ll get back to figuring out new ways to earn money that involve a little more effort, but the truth is, right now I don’t have time for much more than Search and Win and maybe a few surveys here and there.
For people that have very busy lives and just need a few bucks to help make ends meet, I think there are really not a whole lot of better ways to make money online than surveys and search and win.
That being said, I have another Search and Win site to share with you. Blingo.
Blingo is from the people at Publishers Clearing House. Each day they give away prizes that could range from movie tickets to a new car to a whole bunch of cash! They also have a great referral program where anytime one of your friends wins something, you win the same prize… even if it is a car!
I use Blingo in between winning from Swagbucks. It is well known that Swagbucks won’t let you win more than a few times a day and never right after you win. So what I do is use Swagbucks in the morning until I win, then switch to Blingo until the afternoon when I will likely win on Swagbucks again.
Check out Blingo and let me know what you think.
