I get gift cards for Amazon because I used survey apps that pay me money and I have made quite a bit. So Amazon stuff is always free stuff for me basically. But Prime is worthless. Prime Video has absolutely nothing worth watching, and last week I ordered hair dye on my husband's Prime account on Saturday and it didn't arrive until Thursday, so what's the point?

Wait, you can actually get those gift cards from survey apps? Every time I tried them, it took so long to get those points that I just gave up.

Qmee is excellent actually. I usually make 5 bucks a day and it adds up. I also use Attapoll, Leger Opinion, and Survey Spin. I've bought myself a ton of stuff this way.

Gonna give those a try, thanks
