Oh, and anal me has made several spreadsheets to help me track stuff. If you have Excel and want any of these, let me know.
-Master trial tracker. This sheet is at the front of my book and keeps track of ALL of my offers that need to be cancelled. It includes cancel date, site offer completed on, offer name, card used, fee, return costs, reward, profit (reward-cost/return s&h), and whether or not the reward has cleared at the GPT site and the refund cleared on my credit card.
-Survey tracker. This goes behind each GPT site's divider and just keeps track of date, name, requirement (I also put other absolute freebies on this sheet-not just surveys), amount, and whether the offer cleared or was denied. Handy for seeing which surveys perform the best for you.
-Paid trials/offers tracker. This also goes behind each GPT site's divider. It's ridiculously complete. It has the date I signed up, company name, web address, and phone number, trial period, date to cancel by, fee, fee if not cancelled, reward, instructions to cancel, whether or not offer has cleared the GPT site, date cancelled, cancellation confirmation, email used, credit card used, terms and conditions printout confirmation. I told you it was alot!
-Running total sheet. Just to keep me optimistic. This also goes behind each GPT site's divider. It has the date, current balance in my account, # offers pending, denied, and accepted. It keeps me happy to see my balances right there!
So,
: there you have it. When it comes to money, I'm maybe TOO careful!
