Q-Insights – Furniture Journey Study – $200

QI-logoNOslogan.pngQ-insights is another company where I do research groups, focus groups, and online surveys to earn extra money.

They have a lot of stuff in South Orange County and less often in San Diego County.

They are currently recruiting for a nationwide study with people ages 22-59 for a 1-hour webcam interview regarding furniture shopping.

The interviews will take place the week of November 4th through November 11th.

This study will pay $200 as a thank-you for your time.

If you are interested in participating, please fill out the survey here. A recruiter will contact you if you pre-qualify and ask additional screening questions.

Fetch Rewards App Fetchtopia is back 10/21-10/27!!

Fetchtopia is back October 21-27th! During that time, there will be extra rewards, higher point payouts per dollar spent at featured restaurants (e.g., up to 120 points per dollar), bonus points on online purchases through the app, and extra point bonuses for completing mobile gaming tasks- just to name a few of the opportunities to earn more points.

If you are new to Fetch, now is a great time to sign up, so you won’t miss any of the points. Points can be redeemed for gift cards- I’ve been cashing out my points for Barnes & Noble Gift Cards all year. It’s going to make Holiday Shopping a breeze.

If you are still unfamiliar with Fetch, learn more here. It’s my go-to app for scanning receipts and earning gift cards.
