Okay, this has got to be one of the easiest ways to make $5. Head over to Magazines.com and create an account. Once you've done that, go to their home page and enter your email address into the little box on the left hand side bar that says "Get Insider Savings". This will then put you on their email list.
The next step is to wait. Since you are on their email list you will get occasional emails from them. Watch for ones that say something about a $5 gift card. These will have a gift card code in them that you can redeem for cash. (You can also use it purchase items at Magazines.com if you really want to.) If you scroll to the bottom of the email, in the fine print it will say this: Redeem for cash at: www.magazines.com/cash. Follow the instructions provided. And it's as simple as that! Once you redeem them, you'll have to wait several weeks for the check to come in the mail.
I admit, at first I was a bit skeptical that this would really work; it just seemed too easy. But several weeks after I signed up for the emails I got my first gift card code and then a couple of weeks later I got another one. I redeemed them for cash and just this week I got my two $5 checks. Whohoo for an extra $10!
I signed up and got an e-mail with a $5 savings offer. I couldn't find anything about redeeming it for cash.
ReplyDeleteIt is only the ones that say $5 GIFT CARD. It may take a couple of weeks before you get one of those emails too. Hope that makes sense. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough!
ReplyDeleteOh ok...I will watch for them!
ReplyDeleteHow long did it take you to get the checks? I requested mine the beginning of December and haven't received it yet.
ReplyDeleteReally? Oh I'm pretty sure it never took me that long! In fact, I think I had one I requested close to then that I would have already gotten weeks ago. Do you still happen to have the original email (if so, you do better than I do!). I think I'd contact customer service if I were you- even if you don't have the email. That's over 2 months ago and it really shouldn't take that long. Sorry you're having issues with it!
