You can actually gather up your junk mail like credit card offers, restaurant flyers, and other advertisements and exchange them for gift cards.
The program is run by SBKCenter.com, a market research company. It sends you prepaid envelopes, into which you can tuck your junk mail as you receive it. After a few weeks, seal up the envelope and send it off to get points in exchange for your mail. Once you earn 2,000 points, you get a prepaid gift card that you can use like a debit card. It’s that easy!
You won’t be able to change your lifestyle if you apply to this program and start “selling” your mail. Panelists typically earn a few $20 gift cards per year. But surely you can think of a few things you’d like to do if you had a few extra twenties in your wallet?
