Superpoints 101 ~ Another Source for Earning Paypal and Gift Cards Online

Earlier this month I was introduced to Superpoints thru an invite from FrugalMom of Frugality Is Free who seems to cash in for a $5 prize almost every other day (well, maybe not, but it seems like it).  At first I thought it was not going to be as great a place to earn as SwagBucks or MyPoints, but after just a few weeks I have already been able to cash out at least once a week for a $5 prize or more (gift cards or Paypal).  So it has become my second favorite place to earn after SwagBucks.  The key is to complete your profile, be patient with slow
days and build up five to ten active referrals beneath you.

Joining the Superpoints Network

• Superpoints is currently open to new members by referral link or email from another member only.  

• When you  first sign up you only have two invites to share, as you work your way up by having referrals sign up, you eventually will have 15 invites.  
• Below are a few invite links for those who want to join.  They are only good for one time and expire in 7 days.  I will update them as they are used or expire. If you want an invite and there are no active ones left here email me (simply blogs @ live.com) and I will send you one.
• You can also find invite links from readers at this post:  Share Your Invite Links with Simply CVS Readers Here.
• Once you sign up be sure to fill out your account information (to earn more spins) and verify your email address so you will start receiving daily bonus point emails.
• Also, after you sign up come back, click this link and Share Your Invite Links with Simply CVS Readers Here if you have extras (please do not leave links in the comments below--go to the post that the link above takes you to).  
• Find referral links from Simply CVS Readers at:  Superpoints Referral Contest ~ Share your Link or Share Your Invite Links with Simply CVS Readers Here (please do not leave links in the comments below--go to the posts that the links above takes you to)--sometimes readers share bonus referrals.

The Four Levels of Superpoints Members

• No Level--sign up and you will be at "None."  You will not be able to redeem for prizes and you are limited to 5 clicks of the SuperLucky Button a day and two invite tokens.
• Basic Level--validate your email and complete your basic information to upgrade to Basic.
• You will be able to cash out at 2,500 ($25) points and get 30 clicks per day on the Super Lucky button and will have five invite tokens.
• You will receive emails daily with Superpoints in them.  
• You will be able to take surveys, but will have low priority for invitations to take them.
• Gold--do all of the above and have two friends at the Basic level or above, complete advanced profile and add a picture to your profile (doesn't have to be of yourself).
• You will be able to cash out at 1,000 points ($10) and get 50 clicks per day and ten invite tokens.  
• You will still have low priority for surveys, be able to recruit for surveys and get points when friends take surveys (I am confused on this as I have seen friends of mine take surveys and I did not get them so I am not clear on this--since it is all still quite new to me I can't say for sure how this works).
• You will win what your friends win on the Super Lucky Button.
• Platinum--do all of the above and have five friends at the Basic level or above.
• You will be able to cash out at just 500 points ($5) and get 100 clicks per day and 15 invite tokens.  
• You will receive high priority on survey invitations, be able to recruit for surveys, get points when friends take surveys.  
• You will receive one bonus point everyday that you log in and spin the Super Lucky Button.
• You will win what your friends win on the Super Lucky Button.

How to Earn Superpoints

• The Super Lucky Button is the easiest way to earn. With each spin you have a chance to earn from one to 400 points (but mostly I win 1, 2 & 5).  

• The higher your member level the more daily spins you will receive as noted above.  At Gold and Platinum you will earn the wins from your referrals' spins also--there is no limit at this time as to how many points you can earn from referrals. 
• I have found that I can make the page tiny and then restore the window down and have it open all day while I am working online and easily click on it without spending any time (see image below--I also have a small window for Swag Bucks t.v. going). 
• I try to spin in increments of three--not sure this helps, but it seems like I win more if I spin it 3 to 5 times consecutively. 
• When I win one I will spin it three more times; I am not sure this increases my wins, but it seems like I win more when I do it in a series with a win.
• Some days I seem to earn only a few points from my 100 spins and others I will win well over 50.  I believe I average about 25 to 30 daily to date.  Along with the other points it will be easy to get at least $10 a month without referrals' spins.
• You will also receive daily Super Lucky emails with points--just click to go to the website and you will get the points.  
• They seem to run just like the spins from one to 400.
• Members receive 25 points for each referral that reaches a basic membership.
• You can also do surveys, watch videos and complete offers for points, much like Swag Bucks.

Redeeming Superpoints for Prizes

• Each point is equal to one cent.
• As noted above in the member levels you can redeem anywhere from a  minimum of 500 to 2,500 points depending on your level.  The higher levels can choose to redeem at higher levels of course, but the lower levels cannot redeem until they earn the higher amount of points.
• They offer Paypal and a variety of gift cards including:  Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Dominos, etc.  They also offer some electronics, toys & games.
• The prizes are awarded Monday or Tuesday for redemptions made the previous week.
• Unfortunately they do not offer CVS gift cards like Swag Bucks & MyPoints.  But the Paypal can be used for CVS shopping.

Be sure and read the terms of service carefully.  They are sticklers for abiding by them.  Apparently they have been around for a few years, but closed down for a time recently because of fraud on the part of members so they are strict.

If you'd like to give it a try click thru one of the links above and sign up, it's free.  Be sure to fill out your basic profile and confirm thru your email so you can reach Basic Level and have more opportunities for earning.  I would really suggest committing a trial period of two to three weeks to see how it goes.  Like I said, I was quite discouraged at first, but I  have been able to cash out each week so far with very little time invested.
