EXPO TV: Got My 1st Gift Card!

10/17/2009 By Charlene 9 Comments

Yeah! I love this new program! For not very much time invested I just ordered my first gift card- $25 to Red Robin. We happen to love their burgers and this will easily cover take out for one night.
.
Here is how I did it- I got 3,000 points very quickly which I redeemed for $25 gift card. There are tons of choices for gift cards for everywhere from Amazon to CVS in various amounts.
.
I registered and got 25 points, then I did two surveys for two possible programs (including a review of a Blu Ray- if chosen I would get it FREE!) for 20 points, I did a super quick survey for 5 points, I uploaded my first video (which was literally 20 seconds) for 2050 points, and I did two quick reviews of Honey Bunches of Oats and Cheer Laundry Soap.
.
All total I spent less than an hour in the past 3 weeks and already got a $25 gift card! Even better if you order an e-gift card (like the ones for Amazon) you get them in minutes via email!
.
So you can get more information about this program HERE but basically it is a rock star way to earn gift cards or merchandise by reviewing products and uploading videos. As long as you have a camera or can borrow a camera it is super easy and totally 100% free. The videos upload very quickly (it is much easier to do than vlogs) and I guarantee if I can do it you can do it! Once you try the program make sure to refer your friends as you get a 25 point bonus for your referrals too!
.
I am really excited to hear how you guys are liking this program? I know I recommend Swagbucks a lot and this is a much faster way to rack up those cards. Plus you get the chance to review products before they hit the marketplace- like the Blu Ray I have my fingers crossed for! Click HERE to register.

    Wow, Charlene, this sounds great! Can you email me with your referral code (or email address, whatever they need) so you can get credit for me when I sign up? Thank you and I love your site!

    Charlene, I am so glad to see you post this. I've been a member of ExpoTV for 2 years now. When I heard they were going to a points program I thought it was going to get worse. But looking at the list of things you did, if I had done all the same things under the previous program, I would of gotten $5 in Paypal about 2 months after I uploaded the video. This makes me excited about it now. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I have a silly question. When you review a product how does that work? DO you have to make a video or do you answer a bunch of questions? Also do they send you the product to review or do you already know of the product because you use it? I would love to do this but I'm so confused.

    Wow! I signed up under your referral last week but have been dragging my feet on uploading my first review. I am putting that on my to-do list this week! I had no idea a gift card was within such close reach. I sure could use one considering my birthday and my husband's birthday are both within the next month.Thanks!

    Abbe- You need to make a video. If you review under Tryology (and you are signed up for both programs when you register) they provide the product free and you review it. No points and no gift cards just a free product. So the product can be a lotion or the Blu Ray I mentioned.

    If you review under Expo TV you get the points and they DO NOT give you the product- you have to buy it. I reviewed HBO cereal which I already had in the pantry, so it was easy. The review needs to be videotaped and it literally takes seconds to upload it right onto their site. You can also get points for surveys- like I completed the survey to see if I would qualify for the free Blu Ray and got 20 points. My friend Shannon got a survey on holiday shopping and got 2000 points- so it depends on what they offer you. You can earn points without the videos but it will take a lot longer.

    Also, it is one account per person so my husband signed up too.

    Hi Charlene, I was just wondering how long it took for your gift card to arrive. I just ordered one and am already getting anxious for it! (:

    It depends. The e gift cards from Amazon are in your in box literally within minutes. The mailed gift cards take about 2 weeks.
