One medical survey company I work with pays me in Amazon gift cards. While that sounds like a nice idea, it gets out of hand quickly. In the past year or so, I've earned over $1,000 in Amazon credit. I know Amazon sells virtually everything, but it is just too much of a pain to go looking on Amazon every time I want to buy something. We have managed to spend about $600. We bought holiday gifts last year. I bought filters for our fish tank. We ordered my daughter's hair gel once. And various other things. But all that time, I was continuing to earn more credit. As of today, I had over $400 in credit. So I did some searching and discovered that I can buy Target gift cards from Amazon. They do charge $1.95 shipping, but that's okay considering it is better than buying a bunch of stuff and paying to have it all shipped (if it doesn't qualify for free shipping). So I ordered a $100 gift card and my wife will use it on her regular visits to Target for household stuff like paper towels, toilet paper, tissues, toiletry items, etc. We'll probably end up making that the routine way we redeem all the credit I accumulate.
