Okay, let me preface this by saying please don't hate me for this one when you wind up addicted! Something a little different for the weekend...
scratchTHIS is a site filled with online scratch-offs and such stuff. You can win scratchTHIS dollars that you can then redeem for prizes which, right, now, include a large selection of $25 gift cards (Target, BestBuy, and more); iPhones and iPods of various flavors; a Wii; a PS3; or a couple of other electronics gadgets. (It doesn't say Amazon gift cards but naturally I'm kinda hoping that's one of them - refer to my earlier post this week about Swag Bucks and my mission for Amazon gift cards for Christmas - but Target will be just fine with me if not.)
I found this site as a PTS signup on one of my GPT haunts the other day and was just immediately enthralled - I didn't win very many scratchTHIS dollars that night, but I won some and had a big time! We didn't have a lottery here where I live for the longest time (even though every state around us had a lottery or casinos), but for years much of my family lived in either lottery states or by the border of one, so scratch-offs in Christmas stockings have been a family tradition every year since the early Nineties and I love scratching 'em, so yeah, I could spend hours and hours on this site and of course am now shooting for at least one gift card before Christmas time approaches.
Anyway, it's fun, you can win gift cards and other stuff (there is stuff in the FAQ about cash prizes, though I don't see any on the site at this time), and if you're eligible you should sign up! It is open to residents of the US and Canada (except Quebec) that are 18 years of age or older; New York and Florida residents are eligible to play and win the full prizes on all games up to the top amounts allowed by their state laws. (Prizes under $600 are sent within 90 days, over $600 require paperwork as listed in the FAQ.)
Referrals: You receive $500 scratchTHIS dollars for every referral who joins ($100 scratchTHIS dollars when they sign up and $400 after they have made 100 plays), and 10% of whatever your referrals win.
scratchTHIS is absolutely free to join, and there is no limit to how many times you can win. If you live in the US or Canada (except Quebec) and are eligible, join today and play!

Got Paid Update #53 - YouData
Yes, yes! Even though it was only 53 cents this week, I am loving getting paid every single Friday by YouData! The notification from PayPal usually arrives in the early evening Central Standard Time on Fridays.
This brings my total with YouData in only two weeks to just under $4 ($3.94, to be exact) - yep, I am liking this one a lot, and especially enjoying the ads because so many of the companies that are advertising with YouData are the kind of places several members of my family enjoy buying and getting stuff from, so I'm already getting some Christmas 2009 ideas. (That said, I better be saving up some of this YouData cash for that very thing, I suppose!)
If you missed my post on YouData a couple of weeks ago, you can click here to read it.
YouData is available to residents of the US and you must have a cell phone enabled for text messaging to be able to confirm your registration. Sign up today and you too can start getting paid every single Friday!

CashPirate
CashPirate is a new site that opened up earlier this month that got such a good thumbs up recommendation from a favorite GPT blogger, I decided to check it out myself. First off, it's a really nice site graphically and technically and very different from what you're used to seeing around. The site at this time is pretty much all offers & contests, for the most part.
UPDATE 03/02/2013: CashPirate now has instant PayPal payments available with a $1 minimum, Amazon gift certificate paid weekly with a $1 minimum, or withdraw by eBay or Wal-mart GC (both available daily) with a minimum $10 withdrawal. Referral earnings continue to be one level at 20%, and CashPirate currently offers a $0.10 signup bonus.
UPDATE 03/04/2013: It appears that CashPirate is indeed open to some other countries besides the US; it appears it is open to Canada, UK, Australia, but I'm not sure whether there are others. You can try & register & see if yours is one of them.
In any case, it's kinda neat and something different, and you can't much beat instant PayPal payments, and they've already paid someone I know so looking forward to working with this one some in the future.
Join CashPirate and check out this brand new site today!

Swag Bucks
Oh my gosh, I've been seeing stuff about Swag Bucks forever, but I finally got around to signing up the other day and if only I'd paid more attention last year, I might not have been in such lousy shape come Christmas gift-giving time last December. My mom is a total Amazon shopping maven, which Amazon stuff is just some of the many many things you can redeem your Swag Bucks for.
You earn at Swag Bucks by searching (searches include results from Google & Ask.com), shopping, trading in old cell phones, or promoting. You also can earn up to 100 matching Swag Bucks per friend on every one you refer when they win while doing a search - so if they win Swag Bucks while searching, you get Swag Bucks too - up to 100! Swag Bucks is also very active on Twitter and I have seen lots of special stuff on their Twitter page since I joined.
So look, I just joined, like, a couple of days ago - I've already won 5 Swag Bucks just by doing a few searches that I was gonna do anyway! And I only need 45 to get a $5 Amazon gift card. My mom may wind up with a few dozen (or who knows, maybe a hundred) $5 Amazon cards for Christmas this year! I'm loving it!
Members must reside in the US, UK, or Canada to be eligible for prizes. Sign up for Swag Bucks now if you're not already a member! It's great!

More Site Housecleaning
I forgot to mention that the other day I removed 2Dollars4All and Ellabug Clicks from my site listings. They're owned by the same owner, and 2Dollars4All disappeared a couple of weeks or so ago. Ellabug Clicks is still open, but after asking after 2Dollars4All recently, I'm told by a reliable source that the sites have not been maintained for some time.
Normally I would have just moved them to the new closed/dead program category, but I think I just hit delete instead the other day so they're gone. Hate that about 2Dollars4All as I just paid the $2 yearly upgrade not too long ago and had not gotten around to processing the advertising benefits that came with it. Stuff like this I'm never really surprised anymore, but it does make it harder on the smaller PTC owners when their fellow owners do stuff like that 'cos then people like me won't even think about upgrading or advertising on a smaller, less established site because of stuff like this. Anyway, that's that and that's why they're gone.
AdverBux also appears to be at least down, giving the message "We are currently offline while we complete server upgrades. We will be back soon!" when you go to the site. That's one of the sites I like so I'm hoping maybe they won't pull the same old same old so many sites have done and actually will return, but guess we'll just see.
And finally, Moonlilly's Legend is down due to exceeded bandwidth. Hopefully that will sort out soon and it will return as well.

Cash Mattress
Cash Mattress is today's spotlighted site, and let me tell you, I liked this GPT site immediately! For one thing, Cash Mattress generally has several pages of PTC - many $0.01, and I'm told by another member up to $0.05 at times. That's awesome!
Cash Mattress also has a weekly trivia you can earn points on. 1 point = $0.10, so that's cool too!
There is currently a $3 signup bonus at Cash Mattress, and minimum cashout is $15. Payment is available by PayPal, check, or money order, but there's also an option to receive payment by Visa gift card in $25 or $50 increments. The site pays monthly on a Net 25 basis, and has five referral levels - 15%, 10%, 8%, 5%, and 3%.
Cash Mattress has been awarded the Gold Seal of Approval from BeenPaid.com, and is open to members from the US, UK, and Canada. If you're not already a member, join today!

In the Swing
Whew! I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere. I am finally pretty much caught up with MMH matters, if you don't count the 22,000+ e-mails still backed up in my box, most of which just need to be tossed anyway 'cos they're old paid mails that expired long ago or semi-spam that I don't read anyway. Hopefully if there is something important I missed in there, I'll find it eventually when I get around to deleting all those old mails sitting there.
I am almost - almost! - finished with another project that's been a couple of months coming that will be a sort of addition to the site here, as well as standing on my own. It's something that my personal friends that don't really like to read blogs every day have been asking for, so that's coming soon.
I think I have almost finished "housekeeping" here on the site, save for one not-that-important thing I want to fix that is a minor annoyance 'cos I should have been doing it all along... but getting close to being 100% through with housekeeping stuff too.
And (the good news for you) - I have joined several new (or not new, but new to me) sites and will be sharing those with you in the coming days, starting today. These are mostly PTRs/PTCs, or GPTs that have some good PTC action. I don't usually sign up new at sites anymore (unless I am familiar with and respect the owner) except for ones a couple of people I know in the community have had decent luck with and been paid by, and then I have another one on in the queue that was recommended to me by another active person in the community who's been paid too. So that's all good, I'm really excited about several of them, and I'll be posting them all here over the next few weeks.
Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend holiday, especially for those who had the day off on Monday!

EarnEasyPTR
Everyone's excited about the new PTR in the community and so am I! EarnEasyPTR is brought to you by the same owner of the PTC sites EarnEasyCash (another favorite of mine) and Clickers-Union. It's a really cool looking site and has some great perks right now for its grand opening!
There is currently a $0.05 signup bonus at EarnEasyPTR, and something else really great - three referral levels (15%, 5%, and 1%), which is something you usually don't see in PTC and PTR as most have just one level. Also, right now you can earn $0.03 for every new direct referral!
There is a $1 minimum cashout (woohoo!), and the site pays via AlertPay or PayPal. The site terms state it will pay within five days of request. Members are welcome from all countries except: China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Vietnam.
I am loving this site already and if you like to do PTR/PTC, I bet you will too. Sign up at EarnEasyPTR today and start earning some cash!
UPDATE 03/02/2013: This site has closed.

A Couple of Quick Notes
Some great news for those in the community in the UK and Canada - DealBarbiePays now accepts members in those countries, as well as the US!
Also just a quick reminder that if you have an account at ClixSense, you must log into it at least once every 90 days or you will be deleted. This recently happened to an active member in the GPT/PTR/PTC community and you don't want it happening to you!
Another post or two to come, but have a great weekend everyone!
