FreeRide - let's start a chain now that they allow it!
OK - the new FreeRide website now gives 50 points to each new member that enters a referral, and then gives the referrer a monthly bonus equal to 5% of the new members point earnings. This bonus lasts a year.
And they have improved the redemption options. I have not had to pay for a meal at Chili's in almost 5 months (but sadly, Chili's is no longer an option - but I'll just redeem my points for Applebee's certificates now).
Anyway, if you are feeling generous, go to www.freeride.com and use hochbergm as your referrer.
Thanks!

Thanks, John!
Well, I eat at Chili's about every other week. Here's my FreeRide point plan:
During lunch every day, I do the following:
1. Gather all the Destination points I can. The limit is seven visits, or up to 70 points per day
2. I earn lots more points through the Pointworks offers (but I usually only do the free ones). There is no limit to these points.
3. There are ads at the bottom of the screens that are worth points, so if you scroll through all the screens and click on these ads, you pick up even more points every day. I usually pick up an extra 20 per day.
4. I always fill out the FreeRide surveys - more easy points.
5. You can earn points through your normal grocery store purchases, but you have to send in the UPC symbols, which can be a pain. This is listed under Shop-o-Rama, groceries.
6. When it comes time that I actually want to buy something, I check the FreeRide shopping site. If it is as cheap there as anywhere else, I earn more points that way.
Takes about 10 minutes during lunch, time I would have wasted doing other silly thing if I was not doing this.
Anyway, next person to sign up at www.freeride.com, use "johnndor" as the referrer.
