With all of those points sites out there, it is easy to rack them up for free gift cards, or even PayPal cash! You can often earn a large number of points by downloading apps to your phone, or by running mobile TV spots, such as on Swagbucks and PerkTV. But maybe you don't want to tie up your phone or lose critical information. You can easily get a free phone to use with these sites and rack up gift card points faster than ever!
This is how you can get a free Kyocera phone from Boost Mobile (until June 1, I believe).
I had to sign up for an Ebates account, because I didn't yet have one. If you don't already have one, follow this link and we will both get a bonus! When I signed up under my friend, I even got a $10 Target gift card! (Other choices were available.)
Once your account is set up and your PayPal is connected (to get that cash back!), you are ready to shop! Do a search for Boost and Kyocera (which is the brand of phone). Look for the option that is a certified pre-owned Kyocera Hydro, formerly $34.99, now on sale for $17.49. It will also say $17.50 cash back! When I enter this search, it's the second option. Click on Shop Now.
You will be taken to the Boost Mobile site. The phone will come up with an instant savings, to be only $17.49. Click Add to Cart. When prompted, enter your zip code. There is no promo code - you are going to actually pay $17.49 and Ebates will reimburse you at their quarterly payout. You're just going to pay sales tax.
Fill out your payment and card information. If you want to pay extra for shipping for it to arrive sooner, go for it. I don't mind waiting three days for free shipping.
Read through the terms and conditions, but you won't be setting up an account when it arrives. You're just going to connect this phone to your WiFi to run apps.
Review your billing and shipping information and then click on Complete Purchase. Within a matter of moments, you should receive a confirmation email to go with the confirmation number you receive from Boost. You will also be able to see the $17.50 rebate as pending under My Ebates. It will also tell you when you can expect to see your payment hit PayPal.
Enjoy your phone! I will add more posts about things that you can do with your phone to earn more points soon!

Win a swag pack from the 'Tin God' Book Tour Blast
Tin God
Getting pregnant as a teenager and being coerced into giving her baby up for adoption left a festering scar on Jaymee Ballard’s life. Trapped by poverty and without many allies, Jaymee nearly gives up hope of getting her daughter back after her best friend is murdered. Now, four years later, a wealthy woman with legal connections hires her as a housekeeper, and Jaymee gathers the courage to seek her help. But Jaymee’s last chance ends up in a puddle of blood in one of the historic antebellum mansions in Roselea, Mississippi.
I just murdered your wife…again.
An unsigned letter consisting of six horrifying words turns Nick Samuels stagnant life upside down. Stuck in emotional purgatory since his wife’s unsolved murder four years ago, Nick is about to self-destruct. The arrival of the letter claiming credit for his wife’s murder and boasting of a new kill sends Nick to Roselea, where he and Jaymee’s worlds collide.
Jaymee and Nick realize exposing the truth about her daughter’s adoption is the only way to solve the murders. Up against years of deception, they rush to identify the killer before the evidence–and Jaymee’s daughter–are lost.
But the truth doesn’t always set the guilt-ridden free. Sometimes, it destroys them.

Win a gift basket from 'Demon' by Laura DeLuca
Demon
When Justyn and Rebecca set off for the New York School of Performing Arts, they think their dreams are about to come true. To their dismay, they aren’t in high school anymore, and the competition is steep. Rebecca must compete against accomplished singers for a role in the production of Demon Barber, including a stunning Gothic diva with her sights set on Justyn.It doesn't help that things keep disappearing from their apartment or that Rebecca's father refuses to accept that Justyn is an essential part of her life. Yet, all this seems minimal in comparison to the serial rapist terrorizing the campus.
Consumed by fear and obsessed with revenge, Rebecca and Justyn start living the story of Sweeney Todd—both on and off the stage.

In The Gatekeeper's Sons, Therese and Thanatos, the god of Death, met and fell in love. In The Gatekeeper's Challenge, they did everything they could to be together, even break an oath on the River Styx. But the Olympians don't tolerate oath-breakers. In this final book in the trilogy, The Gatekeeper's Daughter, Therese may have finally succeeded in becoming a goddess, but if she wants to remain one, she'll not only have to discover her unique purpose, but also make some allies among the gods. Artemis sends her on a seemingly impossible quest across the world, while Than searches for a way to appease Ares. To make matters worse, her aunt's baby's life hangs in the balance.About Author Eva Pohler
