Gather Points

I'm doing pretty good lately on points. I'm hoping I can do at least 2 more $25 cards before mid-December, which, at this rate, I should be able to do. I doubt I can eek out a 3rd one, but 2 will be plenty.

I've got $50 in Target cards in my purse, and I ordered a $25 one in the wee, just after midnight hours of today, so that'll give me $75 to spend at some point. I don't have any specific plans for it, but it'll be helpful all the same!

Tonight, I have 234 points. When I cashed out, I had 9, so you can see that for whatever reason, the Gather Gods were nice to my points today!

How are your points? What are you saving for? Do you have any specific plans for the reward?

Gather Points™: $66 for November as of right now! I cash out on the 1st of the month, every month! Right now, I'm gathering for Christmas, like most people! :)
Dove D. Nov 23, 2008, 10:18pm EST
wow that's good, my points just seem to creep up... what's your secret?
Dove D. Nov 23, 2008, 10:18pm EST
how do you know how much you have in $$$$$ like Bridget Jean?
I post a lot of articles, Dove, and do a lot of commenting and rating (If I open something, even if I don't comment, I rate it). I also have a lot of friends who see what I post.

I received a $25 Target GC this month, I don't post that much to get a lot of points so right now I'm not saving for Christmas. I might redeem a Borders GC but if not I'll wait until Spring and order a Home Depot card for the house.
That's great Bridget! I've probably earned close to the same. I cashed on on October 28th, then a cash out on the 3rd, 12th, and 23rd each for $25, but since half the first was earned in October, I'd guess it was close to the same. It's nice having Gather to help out. I know there are a lot of people out there who can use the extra help right now.

You are doing great Heather! I have 43 dollars for the month of November, I'm still trying to catch up on the slowness in the beginning of the month.
Heather ~of the Whippets~ M. Nov 23, 2008, 10:30pm EST
You are doing really well.

I still have probably another two or three days before I can cash out again. My hope is to cash out twice more for the month, but we'll see how that goes.
Ali C. Nov 23, 2008, 10:37pm EST
Yea for points!

You post a lot of fun stuff, you deserve a bunch of points!
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Nov 23, 2008, 10:39pm EST
Wow, you are doing awesome on points!
Alta B. Nov 23, 2008, 10:42pm EST
I was gonna cash out when I got to the $100 paypal but I changed my mine and now I am shooting for 2 of them.
golds g. Nov 23, 2008, 10:45pm EST
I need a target $25 gift card and a $25 borders gift card so far I can come close to getting at least one card hopefully!
Last year, I did a LOT of Borders cards for shopping, and to give the kids so they could pick their own books after Christmas, but the store near us closed back last Spring :(

I might get a few of the $10 cards though, for my friend's kids for Christmas, since they live near a Waldenbooks.
Donna T. Nov 23, 2008, 10:48pm EST
What? You got 230 points in one day? I've been lucky to get 10 or 15 the last few weeks. Maybe I need more friends.
H M. Nov 23, 2008, 10:52pm EST
nice work :)
Ang, inspired by good, G. Nov 23, 2008, 11:00pm EST
I'll be doing good if I can cash out for a $25 card before Dec. 1st. I hope to cause that would really help with Christmas.
Dove D. Nov 23, 2008, 11:04pm EST
do you think that rating articles or pics gives you points?
Heather C. Nov 23, 2008, 11:09pm EST
I cashed out on the 17 for a $25 card that I got Saturday. That made my points down to 23. I haven't been on this weekend until now, but I have 399 right now. I have to get busy!!!!!!! I know I can get another one before christmas, just hoping and wishing for 2 more! I spent everything today with my Target cards but got some great gifts!
Janet "Jax" B. Nov 23, 2008, 11:11pm EST
I have about 17000 pts I think...I do need to cash out soon, but I'm such a point hoarde....I have a hard time cashing out...lol
♥ Adair ♥ K. Nov 23, 2008, 11:12pm EST
I have been trying to get the $50 Amazon card before Christmas. Still around 750 points away. I hope to get lots of points this week, I will have more gather time with it being a short work week.
♥ Adair ♥ K. Nov 23, 2008, 11:13pm EST
Good luck on getting enough points for another gift card.
Matine H. Nov 23, 2008, 11:23pm EST
Good Lawd! I can barely get 15 pts in 2 weeks! Must be nice. I'm praying for a couple hundred just to get a $25.00 GC.
Charlie B. Nov 23, 2008, 11:47pm EST
I'm going to let my points ride out as long as I can. Not really saving for anything.
Sophie S. Nov 24, 2008, 12:16am EST
I was gone almost all day today and still managed to rack up points. Getting ready to cash out again myself.
Andrea "slackermom" R. Nov 24, 2008, 12:47am EST
I bought all my gifts so far with Paypal Buyer Credit so now that I owe Paypal a monthly payment, I'll be cashing out for Paypal until the gifts are paid off. Probably just in time to start shopping for 2009.
C C. Nov 24, 2008, 4:52am EST
you are doing fantastic
Karen M. Nov 24, 2008, 9:48am EST
Good luck !!
Dawn S. Nov 24, 2008, 9:49am EST
Wow. It took me a year and half to earn $100! I just ordered to Target cards.
Brittney R. Nov 24, 2008, 10:17am EST
Wow, that's great! I cashed out Saturday night for a $25 Macy's card, to help pay for my husband's favorite cologne. I haven't learned the secret of earning points quickly, so I knew I wouldn't make to a $50 cashout before Christmas.

I think my next goal will be to just save for Home Depot cards, because we have some landscaping projects we want to work on this spring.
Tina B. Nov 24, 2008, 10:44am EST
I guess I just don't post enough. I have yet to get enough points for ONE gift card.
rainne chandler Nov 24, 2008, 2:43pm EST
good luck to you
Vic Needs Coffee Nov 24, 2008, 3:58pm EST
That's great, good luck!
Carla B. Nov 24, 2008, 5:57pm EST
I've done pretty well this month. The Pay it Forward group has helped me a lot. We've had so many crazy things going on, that I think I've actually been online less this month than normal, but I've earned a lot more. I'm praying that nothing else comes up for a while.
marilyn gehner Mar 10, 2009, 3:00pm EDT
I just came on, how does a person accumulate points? Thanks
Michael M. Mar 10, 2009, 9:19pm EDT
The whole point thing confuses me, but I do cash them in for gift cards when they finally add up. I once thought about the possibility of trying to earn them in a big way, but meh. Easier to focus on other things. It will probably help that I am back into the site and getting to catch up on peoples' content.
carolina m Mar 30, 2009, 8:38pm EDT
cool
Jacob Mielke Jun 15, 2009, 10:55pm EDT

Wow! You are doing great! I need to do better... :(
Jessica S. Jun 24, 2009, 1:22pm EDT

How do you earn so many?  It seems amazing that people can earn so many poitns.  I don't even know what will earn me points in the first place :(
Talat G. Jul 7, 2009, 9:30am EDT

i only have 9 points. I want to get a amazon gift card.
Joy Blessing Oct 24, 2009, 11:50am EDT

I know I and lots of other people would LOVE to know!!
