Endorse launched last fall offering some great ways to get cash back on our everyday purchases both in stores and online. Sadly they are suspending Endorse services for all users until they launch a new Endorse 2.0. If you've been organizing and sending in your receipts, Endorse will honor everything they receive by Monday, January 30, 2012.
The good news is they will send out checks for everything received before January 30th on your account, even if your account balance is less than $25.
Endorse will be back and better than ever in 2012, and I'll be working closely with them during the relaunch. I can't wait to share Endorse 2.0 with you, but in the meantime, here's a nice article that TechCrunch wrote about Endorse yesterday!

Synovate Global Opinion Research is taking applications again right now! Along with Pinecone Research, it's one of the most frequently recommended paid survey panels by Deal Seeking Mom readers.
The main difference between Pinecone and Synovate is that you will not earn cash for every survey. With Synovate, you'll earn points that you can redeem for cash once you reach a specified threshold. However, you will still have opportunities for product testing much like Pinecone.

The Pinecone Research application is open again right now! It's been awhile since they've been open and I know many of you have been asking when they'd be taking applications again, so now is your chance.
Pinecone pays in a timely manner at a rate of $3 per survey via check or Paypal, and they often have product tests that go along with the surveys, so they're definitely one of the best survey companies to get on board with.

Swagbucks has a really fun promo running through the end of the year. They're calling it 5 for 5, and here's how it works:
- Get at least 5 new referrals who are NOT members of your household or sharing an address with you.
- Each referral must earn 50 Swag Bucks after joining, not including any bonuses they may get during sign up.
- Once your 5 (or more) referrals each earn that minimum of 50 Swag Bucks, you've qualified for a bonus of 500 Swag Bucks, which will be applied at the end of each month, so if you've get it done in October, you'll earn your bonus early! If you earn it in November, you'll get your bonus then.
- Only one bonus per person. This is in addition to the 1000 in matching search bucks that can be earned from each referral.
Any new user who enters the code 5For5 during sign up will get a bonus 70 Swag Bucks, bringing them to a total 100 Swag Bucks to start with. The code is live now and will expire at 12pm PT on Monday, October 17th.
