Are paid survey programs online safe?
No, they are not safe. Online scams designed to phish personal information from you and get you to pay money. Give this a few seconds and you will see a string of bots. Four your information, These bots are active on yahoo answers and are only phishing. There is no free lunch, and much of this is "to good to be true". See, I am the only "user" who is not preprogrammed to spam.
What are the most effective online consumer loyalty programs?
I would like to talk about one of the most exciting loyalty program.Hotel Pink has different tier levels, each with more perks and greater discounts.Designed around a hotel stay date, it starts from the lobby and ends (hopefully) at the penthouse suite.All Frank Body customers, or Frankfurts, start at the lobby.To check-in to the Pool Deck and beyond, Frankfurts will have to refer at least one friend and begin earning points.Points are earned for each of the following actions: purchasing products, posting a public review and sharing the brand on social media.Frankfurts will receive more discounts when they reach higher levels and are entitled to try out exclusive product samples before they even hit the stores. They will also be able to enter competitions to win themselves major prizes.Supercharge customer engagement with gamification: A tier system that includes exclusive sneak peeks and discounts works really well due to its gamification nature. Customers are given the psychological pull to strive to get to the next level. This keeps them engaged with the brand for a potentially longer period of time, and with more drive!To know more, check: loyalty programs.Thanks for reading!
What is the best way to get/win a free vacation?
Usually, without making some kind of large purchase such as a new vehicle or home, it is not possible. Even with these options, you will still typically have to win some kind of sweepstakes to win the vacation.Upon searching the vastness of the internet, I have found an interesting way to win a free vacation extravaganza for 2 that includes hotel stay, meals, business flight and more with no large purchase required.In order to be eligible, you must sign up and use the 2-month free trial of Binaryapp-810, and allow the owner to share your earnings using the program. What is Binaryapp-810? It is an automatic binary investing program that has been proven to make thousands a day with very small investments of $200-500. Although I have not personally tried it, here is a video testimonial from someone with more experience with the program:
Do game shows pay contestants for travel? Why?
It depends on the show, although as seven-time contestant Eric Mueller suggests in his answer to to Game Shows: When a person is selected as a contestant on Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune, do they pay for travel and hotel costs?, most shows do not pay for travel expenses:Keep in mind most game shows have no problem getting contestants-- everyone wants a chance at winning some dough!-- so when they say "if you don't live here, you have to get yourself to Southern California and pay for your own lodging," who's going to say no?There are some exceptions. I've heard of shows going on the road for contestant searches (think "mall tour") and if they find someone great with a killer story, they'll bring them back to L.A. for the shoot because they know it's worth it to have that person on the air. I've also heard that if a game show has a hard niche to cast (say, Wheel of Fortune doing "fighter pilot week," to just make something up), they might pay to fly in good contestants that fit what they're seeking.As Adam Holquist mentions in his answer, Jeopardy! does not cover any expenses for an initial appearance, at least partly because there are consolation prizes for second and third place ($2000 and $1000 respectively).The two shows I appeared on, which were probably the exception and not the rule, did pay for travel and reasonably good accommodations. One was a Japanese game show featuring sixteen teams of college and graduate students from around the world. Each contestant was given round-trip airfare and five or six nights of accommodations in Tokyo in addition to a $200 stipend. The real prize was the experience and the free trip to Japan, as there was no consolation prize for coming in second, and the winning team's share of $10,000 was really just a token cash prize for the sake of TV. The other was a your more garden-variety Hollywood game show. I'll add more details once the episode airs, but suffice it to say that we had airfare and accommodations booked for us about two weeks in advance of the tape date. I suspect partly this was due to the fact that the percentage of winning contestants was well under 50% (almost always for low five-figure sums), and there was no consolation prize.
What is the scam with the National Gifting centre?

What are some great road trip movies?
This is my 6 most favorite (not in order) road trip movies:Little Miss Sunshine (2006) :One of the few movies I watched twice on the same day; this movie is about a family taking their little girl to a beauty contest all the way from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Redondo Beach, California in an old-fashioned VW van. Except this movie isn’t about the beauty contest itself, but it’s about the journey - the journey of the members of the family, how they discover each other, and how they react to the turns of events that take place during the journey.2. Y tu mama tambien (2001) :This Mexican flick. directed by Alfonso Cuaron, tells a coming-of-age story of two teenage boys taking a road trip with an older woman (wife of one of the boys’ cousin).3. Nebraska (2013) :This Alexander Payne masterpiece tells us a story about an alcohol-addict war veteran who is stupid enough to believe that he has won million dollars from one of those fake sweepstakes letters and makes a road trip from Billings, Montana to Lincoln, Nebraska with his son, and lot of things happens during the travel.4. Thelma and Louise (1991) :Story of two ordinary small Arkansas town girls, taking the tour of their lives, in an 1956 T-Bird only to find ‘everything that could go wrong, will go wrong’.5. Rain Man (1988) :Road trip is fascinating, but what happens when you have to do it with a high-level autistic person all the way from Cincinnati, Ohio to Los Angeles, California? It’s difficult but it just might help you know that person better. Dustin Hoffman plays the autistic elder brother of Tom Cruise’s character in this heart-touching drama.6. Sideways (2004) :Another Alexander Payne masterpiece. It tells us a story about a depressed high-school teacher cum unsuccessful writer and his soon-to-be-married past-his-prime actor friend going on a road trip across California wine-county prior to the wedding.Some other great road trip movies that I liked are:7. The Motorcycle Diaries (2004) - a biopic on 23-year-old Che Guevara8. Almost Famous (2000)9. Bonnie and Clyde (1967)10. Into the Wild (2007)Hope it helps!
