$25 Amazon Gift Certificate. That’s Sweet!

Early last month, I took an online survey about financial planning, which promised to pay $25 Amazon.com gift certificate if I qualify and complete the survey. The survey was delivered via Financial Planning magazine (the free magazine I subscribe to, which is also a very good magazine BTW) and I indeed qualified and finished the entire survey which took me 2o minutes of time.

That was more than one month ago. Did I expect to receive the gift certificate? Not really. I participated some this kind of random surveys before, but not all of them lived up their promises. For example, one week before this survey, I also participated another one which offered a $20 Amazon gift certificate. That never materialized.

An email arrived in my mail box yesterday and when I clicked it, guess wheat I found? A $25 Amazon gift certificate! I totally forgot the survey thing and didn’t really expect the prize. Actually, I had to search my email archives to find out what it’s for. A pleasant surprise!

So I didn’t win the $100 giveaway at Money, Matter and More Musings. This is equally good. And what’s better than “free” money?
