There are a pretty large handful of GPT sites out there (Get Paid To sites, or sites that offer points of some monetary value in exchange for your participation in surveys, offers, and trials), but only a few truly stand out. Here's my personal favorite:
PrizeRebel
http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=464050
Free offers: The most free offers I've seen to date (feel free to direct me towards a site with more). Most of these offers simply require you to enter your email address, home address, etc. then click the confirmation links in your inbox and/or complete (mostly) short surveys that require little more than clicking "no" or "skip" a lot. A large majority, if not all, of your points will come from this section. PrizeRebel offers approve far more often than not, and most of these will approve almost immediately. Protip: 10minutemail.com or an alternate gmail/hotmail/etc. account made specifically for offers and spam works wonders for preventing spam in your otherwise clean default email account (Yeah, right. You know you've got a porn newsletter or 10 scattered about your inbox).
Cell phone offers: There are also a handful of cell phone offers (offers that require you to enter your cell phone number and submit the PIN it texts to you). These offers can give you a nice point boost, but be forewarned that some of these will probably charge your cell phone faster than you can unsubscribe after receiving the points. I've been told that buying a cheap prepaid phone (found at just about any grocery store) for cell phone offers eliminates all fee paranoia, but I've never tried it myself.
Credit card offers: Follow the clues. Some require you to pay for free trials (see the problem there?) and some require you to actually buy/order stuff (should you have coincidentally been planning on getting Overnight Genius - Microsoft Excel Training Software anyway, you're damn lucky. Order it through PR and you'll receive a nice 22 points!). There are even offers in which you can apply for a credit card (worth a lot of points, but I doubt any of you will do this).
Points: The system is simple: One point = 1 dollar. With these points, you can either buy consoles, games, gift cards, toys, etc from PrizeRebel's prize store, or you can custom order from just about any site that uses Paypal, Amazon and ebay included (I custom ordered a new heatsink/fan combo from NewEgg not too long ago. The minimum price for any custom order is 5 points). From my experiences, custom orders took no longer than 3 days and as little as 18 hours to be processed/approved.
Referrals: For each person who signs up under your referral link, you gain 20% of everything they receive thereafter (Let's say B signed up under A's referral link and B just completed an offer for 1 point. As a result, B gets his/her 1 point, and, as a referral bonus, A gets 0.2 points). This can mean big earnings if you can rack up a good number of active referrals.
And that about summarizes PrizeRebel (and, through my rambling, the general GPT layout). Here are my current stats:
So far, I've received:
Used NES Console (Amazon)
Used Gameboy Pocket (Amazon)
Rubik's Cube (PrizeRebel prize store)
Dynatron C62G Socket A Heatsink/Fan (Newegg. Probably the loudest heatsink fan on the planet)
And my pending prizes:
500W ATX Power Supply (ebay)
