UPDATE - I dropped the rating to one star as the site is no longer around. I have left my original review, however.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I started this program when a friend sent me a referral. I wasn't to thrilled since I was already in a blue million reward programs, but figured I would give it a go!
At first I wasn't sure what to do after I signed up. I logged in and the screen had a lot of stuff to choose from. On the left is the main menu. At the top is the section to earn points. How can you earn them? Well, the easiest, and about the only way I earn them now, is by visiting websites. For the vising websites you click thru and there is a bar across the top that tells you when you have been credited and it has a back button to take you back to where you came from. You usually get between 0-2 points per site. Why would you click thru a zero point site? It helps the site stay in business. She gets a little bit every time we click thru and that helps keep her afloat.
Another way you can earn is by referring friends. You get 20 points for each referral after they earn at least 25 points. You will not get credit for people that just click thru for you. They have to be active for you to get points, which also helps keep the site afloat by not paying out for people who have their friends sign up under them that have no intention of working the site.
You can also earn points by signing up for offers. These range from signing up for newsletter to signing up for services, which require a credit card. The newsletters aren't worth a lot, but every little bit helps! You can also earn by shopping thru their affiliate sites. Generally you earn so many points per dollar spent, and it changes for each merchant.
You can also earn points by reporting valid deals and coupons not already listed on the site. You earn one point per coupon or deal. One point doesn't sound like a lot, but come on! How much effort does that take? Besides, they do add up and every point can help cash out. Have you ever been 1-2 points from cashing out a rewards program?
There is also trivia that you can participate in for points. They have two different kinds listed. One is answering a question about a sponsor's website. The second is a trivia question that costs you 5 points to play, but you can earn 10 points if you answer it correctly. They don't give the question until you say you will play.
Now, what can you cash these points out on? Some places you can cash out for are Amazon.com, Old Navy, Gap, Spiegel, Blockbuster, Borders, Best Buy, Circuit City, Web Certificates, Flooz, Supercertificates, Burger King, McDonalds, Chi-Chis, Olive Garden, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster, TGI Fridays, Bath & Body Works, Home Depot, Sears, and many more! This is just a few from each category. You can also spend some of your points for a chance to win prizes. Like 50 points for a 1 in 25 chance to win 10$ in your PayPal account. The other contest is a chance to win 1000 points. One winner is drawn from every 25 entries.
Besides the ways to earn and spend points, SuzyKats also has forums to chat and share info. I have not ventured into these forums yet and actually posted, but I have nosed around a bit. She also has a link to click thru for 3 Silverclicks a day, if you do this reward program, and a whole list of freebie sites.
Now, I have listed the main details, I really like SuzyKats. They are a smaller rewards program, which is why the number of points are limited. She has always shipped my gift certificates promptly when I cashed out and any time I had a question or problem they were back to me within 48 hours, although usually faster. while it does take longer to earn, SuzyKats is still around, which is more than I can say for some of the rewards programs.
Give it a try. It takes just a few minutes a day and it has some great rewards to choose from. There is something for just about anyone's tastes.
