Guide to Getting Free Gift Certificates Online

One of the greatest things about the internet is the many opportunities for getting free stuff. Over the years, I have received enough free stuff off the internet that it averages out to be well over what I actually pay for my internet service. One of the things that I find I get most often from the internet is free gift cards. There are many scams on the internet that suggest they are going to give you a free gift card, sometimes with amounts of up to $500. These offers can sound tempting, but they are really not free. With this type of offer you are required to sign up for multiple other offers that require your credit card number in order for them to charge you for the services they offer. I would recommend you stay away from this type of offer. Instead, I’m going to give you some tips on how to get truly free gift cards off the internet.

One way that has been pretty reliable for me over the years to get free gift cards off the internet is to play in instant win sweepstakes. This method does, admittedly, require some luck on your part, but if you are persistent and play each game on a regular daily basis, then you should start to see results. The biggest gift card I have received using this method was valued at $1000. I have also received several gift cards in the $200 range and countless gift cards valued at $50 or less. Playing these instant win games is also fun in itself. The couple of sites that I use to locate the games are www.myinstantwin.com and www.online-sweepstakes.com. Both of these sites offer extensive, up to date listings of real instant win games offered by legitimate companies.

Another way of obtaining free gift cards online is using point sites such as www.mypoints.com. One thing to watch out for with point sites is they, like the scam I mentioned above, want you to sign up for offers that require you to purchase something. You do not have to purchase something in order to save up enough points for a free gift certificate from these sites. Everyday they have links that you can click to get points for free. It takes awhile, in some cases months, but the points do eventually add up and then you can trade them for free gift certificates. It only takes a couple of minutes a day to go and click on these links.
Some survey sites allow you to earn points to trade for gift certificates. One such site is www.harrispollonline.com. Every so often this site will send you a survey that is generally quick and easy to take and in return you collect points. These points can be traded for gift certificates to places like www.amazon.com and Olive Garden. This process, like the point sites does take several months, but it does not take up much of your time.

If you are willing to work a little for your gift certificate, www.judysbook.com is a fun site. You right reviews on products, answer questions for people about businesses in your area and give recommendations on fun places to go. They have contests every so often and send out gift certificates.

These are some of my favorite ways of obtaining free gift certificates online. Try some of them out you just might find they are worth your time!
