Is It Safe?
)}I used to love getting the mail. When I was younger, a friend of mine moved away to Tennessee and we became pen pals. That feeling of joy is still what I feel today, though it’s been diminished somewhat because I don’t have any pen pals and because of all the freaking junk mail! I’ve signed up for OptOutPrescreen. Then one day, I learned that you can sell your junk mail to market research companies. Even your junk email. Sign up as a Panelist, get accepted, and then send them mailers and get paid for it. Limited space is available but this is the most reputable company of the bunch. They will pay for all kinds of direct mail and even email you forward. You earn points that can be used for gift cards — don’t expect to ejail rich but a little extra money never hurt. Jim has a B. One of his favorite tools here’s my treasure chest of tools,everything Monney use is Personal Capitalwhich enables him to manage his finances in just minutes each month. They also offer financial planning, such as a Retirement Planning Tool that can tell you if you’re on track to retire when you want. It’s free.⓬
How does SBKC pay for junk mail?
Bounce unsolicited emails back to the original sender, and let them pay to reach you. We just announced our new token yesterday, and you can sign up for it here. One of the first such features is the new Earn. With one click, you can now bounce emails from users outside your contact list, and allow them to pay to reach you. This feature is live for all Earn. As you can see, you can bounce messages from salespeople while easily accepting messages from friends. You can also configure your whitelist by contact or domain, like this:. And you can set up a polite autoresponse to go out with every bounce:. In this example, Jeff is sending an email to Sarah. He then chooses to send her a paid message, which he can easily do through her Earn. If she replies within a week, she gets paid and Jeff gets his reply. We recognize that email can be sensitive, so we ask for the absolute minimum number of permissions to enable the bounce feature, as shown below:. Importantly, you retain full control over your Gmail account.

They will send you a code that can be redeemed for a physical card or an online code. You then have six months to claim the gift card. I wanted to test out SKBC for myself before recommending it to anyone else… and overall, I was pleased with how easy it. In fact, the process of setting aside eligible mail items became part of our normal routine! Hopefully, this will help speed up the point accumulation! I like to think that some useful information will be collected from all of that junk mail, which would typically get tossed in recycling, or worse, a landfill.

I was reading through the sign-up page, and it looks like you get bonus points for making referrals. Do you have a personal referral link or code or anything to share? Thanks Annie! That might be old information on their sign up page. The most recent email newsletters said that they are no longer awarding any points for referrals.
I tried to sign up for this program in April, and I received an email letting me know maje they were mae with applications and they would let me know when a spot opened up. Sorry to hear that Diane! I have read that they may consider demographics and your location in approving applications.
Also, have you checked your spam mail makee lately? Some of the emails from SBKC ended up in my spam folder, so that might be worth checking. I would also suggest following up with. They usually respond to my email questions within a couple of days. So easy and actually eliminates some trash. Keep trying if you are turned down at sign up.
I think they need people from various geographic locations. I have never heard of this. Sounds pretty easy and I would rather earn a little extra cash then have the junk mail go in the recycling.
Thanks for sharing this! They keep all mone your information confidential and shred. Wondering if you send ALL your junk mail? We typically burn credit card offers and financial junk mail like. Also, I do the Quad Reader mail survey. Oh- also, is is specific to my address?? We send everything on their list of qualifying mail. But we err on the side of sending it. You are not supposed to send in mail from another address — that person would need their own account.
