I found that a fun way to add a little extra money to my travel fund each month is by completing surveys. This will not replace my day job, but it will allow me to earn $20-$60 per month to add to my travel fund just for responding to surveys.

I will try to update you each month on how much I am able to add to my travel fund by completing surveys! I use a separate email address so I can keep my surveys separate from other email.

My July total was $51.69 earned.

I am currently working with the following survey companies:

• Mindfield - I just joined Mindfield this month and have already received a few survey requests and a product to test. I earned $7 in 40 minutes plus free products.

• My Survey - I also just signed up with then this month. So far I have earned 845 points or $7.69 since the points are worth 9 cents each. You can cash out once you reach 1100 points or more. They offer cash payments through Paypal or gift certificates from many different companies.
  
  
• Opinion Outpost - I just started working with Opinion Outpost this month too. So far I have made over $23.80 for 3 hours and 20 minutes. You can request a check once you reach $5 and I have already receive my first check for $10.80 and requested my 2nd check. This is my favorite survey company that I work with currently!
  
  
• Toluna - I have been a member of Toluna for quite a while, but I did not take the time to compete the profile surveys so I did not receive many survey invitations. It does take quite a little time to complete all the profile surveys, but you will earn some points for completing them plus you will receive more survey invitations!
  
  This month I have completed my profile surveys and 5 other surveys. Toluna awards points for surveys: 3000 points = $1. You need 60,000 points to request a $20 check. I have accumulated 44, 000 points or $13.20 already.

Surveys are a fun way to help companies develop and change products, as well as understand what we like as consumers. Surveys are also a good way to add $20-$60 per month to your Travel Fund or Christmas Fund, or just to earn some extra spending money.

You can also earn extra money through cash back rebate programs and Swagbucks! Come back often to see how much I have saved from my travel fund!
