Junk mail=CASH

Everyone hates junk mail.  Not me, I love it.  Of course I'm a little biased because I work for the United Postal Service.  But now that I can get money for my junk mail, I freakin' LOVE it!!

That's right, you read that correctly.  There is a company that will give you Visa gift cards for your junk mail.  Even junk email.  I have been doing this since approximately June of this year and have racked up $40 in Visa gift cards.  Let me explain.

The company is SBKC (Small Business Knowledge Center) and they are located in Chicago Illinois.  They have clients who want to know what deals their competitors are offering so they collect your junk mail to see the direct marketing trends relevant in your area.  You can send all of your relevant junk mail or choose to only send them non-sensitive junk mail.  They don't care how much, they only care about the content.  They safely destroy it after they get the information they are looking for and do not sell it to 3rd parties. 

Examples of the types of mail they want are-
Insurance-Health, Life, Auto,Property, Commercial
Travel & Leisure
Annuities and Investments
Energy
Loans
Pharmacautical
Telecommunication
Credit Cards
Banking
Retail-Stores with their own credit cards that send mail about the cards

Some examples (they will give you a detailed list when you sign up and are approved) of the types of mail they want are special offers, welcome kits, newsletters, brochures, summary of benefits, rewards points statements, changes in terms/pricing, and more.  This is where you can choose what you send.  I trust them and send them everything but you may not trust them to send a credit card statement with your account number on it.  So you might choose to only send the Direct TV and Dish offers that you get several times a month.  Or the auto insurance offers you get several times a month.  It's totally up to you!  They then give you points based on what you have sent (that qualifies).  Obviously, the more you send, the more points you get and when you reach 2000 points, they automatically send you a $20 gift card.

They also have monthly bonuses.  Their newsletter will be emailed to you towards the end of the month and it will have the bonuses for the following month in it.  Over the last several months, I have received approximately 500 bonus points.  The bonuses are can anything from 500 bonus points for any mail from Wealthfront to 250 bonus points for any mail concerning switching credit card networks or card issuers to 100 bonus points for material concerning personal or business loans.  some are repeated and some are only for a month so you never know when you'll have some material that qualifies.  But the bonuses definitely help you get to the gift card quicker!

They also accept junk email, you just forward it to them.  The same materials are requested and the only stipulation is that it has to be from the actual company, not a 3rd party.  So email from Allstate would be acceptable, but email from a company that is advertising and soliciting for Allstate would not.

If you get mail whether at work or at home, it's crazy NOT to do this.  All you have to do is sign up on their website http://www.sbkcenter.com/index.html and once approved, get started collecting your junk mail.  As I go through my mail I make piles; keep, send, recycle.  I drop the send mail in a basket on my kitchen counter (I suggest you invest in a letter opener because all mail has to be CLEANLY opened prior to mailing it), when it looks like I have a decent pile (I send 1-2 envelopes per month and usually have 20-30 pieces of mail in it), I put it in one of their postage paid envelopes and drop it in the mailbox.  When you are sending your last envelope, email them and ask for more.  And for my email, I forward that as I read it daily.  

So what are you waiting for, sign up with SBKC and cash in on some SUPER EASY MONEY!!
