What is Red Nose Day?


Red Nose Day is a fundraising event organized by Comic Relief which originated in the U.K. On Red Nose Day everyone is encouraged to cast inhibitions aside, put on a Red Nose and fundraise – celebrities included!

In the U.K., Red Nose Day has been going for 30 years and is an inspiring cultural phenomenon that unites people from all walks of life in the interest of saving and changing lives across the globe. Red Nose Day has raised more than $1 billion in charitable donations so far.

For the first time ever, Red Nose Day will be celebrated in the United States this year with a 3-hour live entertainment TV Special, hosted by NBC. The TV Special and the accompanying pre-promotional campaign will be modeled on the successful BritishRed Nose Day events run by Comic Relief UK over the last 30 years. The TV Special will showcase top comedy and entertainment. It will also highlight the causes for which Red Nose Day is fundraising. Viewers will be encouraged to make donations by phone, and online. 

Walgreens and Duane Reade stores across the nation are the exclusive Red Nose Day retail partner.


Enjoy,

Three things you've been doing for FREE, but should have been PAID to do - Get Gift Cards and Cash!

How often do you "Google" things, unlock your phone or just watch TV?  Well, if you've been doing all that already, you might as well get rewarded with gift cards and cash! Or if you'd like, donate it to one of your favorite charities.

Today, I share 3 things you've been doing for FREE, when you should have been paid to do it!  

Long story, short. 
Get rewarded by using the following: (Click through the links.)
1. Bing your way to some cha-chinga!
2. Locket in - swipe, swipe, swipe away!
3. Do the viggle - and VIGGLE it!

Long story, long, with details and lovely graphics:

Check out Bing Rewards here. Bing your way to some cha-chinga!


1. Instead of googling, try Bing's search engine.  Accumulate points for every search and redeem for gift cards like Starbucks, Sephora, Groupon or Amazon, get redbox credits to a free movie rental, enter to win a sweepstakes or donate to one of the listed charities, including "The Boys and Girls Club of America" and "Teach for America."  

One of my fav gift cards redeemable is the Tango Card! "What is that?" you say. The exact thought when I first heard of it.  Known as the "get exactly what you want" card, you have 3 options after ordering this card: 1. Pick from more choices of gift cards such as Target, Fandango or iTunes. 2. Donate to any of their listed charities or 3. Get a check - (Not sure if this is still an option, but worth checking out.)  Join @BingRewards!        
--> Check out Bing Rewards here. Bing your way to some cha-chinga!

Swipe some spare change into your pocket - swipe, swipe, swipe away! Locket in!















2.  Hmm...how many times a day would you say you unlock your phone? Well, if you have to do it anyway, let's swipe some change into your pocket.  Locket's the name of the Android app that pays you for unlocking your phone.  By downloading the app, you basically rent out your lock screen to brands.  With one swipe, you can either open the ad, or unlock your phone the way you always do.

Currently, they're having a Locket Swipestakes with a $300 daily prize - share this with friends - if they win, you win too!! =)    

Get money for doing pretty much nothing!



-->Swipe some spare change into your pocket - swipe, swipe, swipe away! Locket in!





If you like to watch TV, do the Viggle - I mean Viggle It! (Available for both iPhones and Androids)












3.  Are you starting to see the pattern here? When you watch television, simply open the Viggle app and let it listen to the show you're watching.  Once you're checked in, the app keeps track and rewards you points for watching.

There's also other fun interactive ways to earn points such as correctly answering trivia questions during the show, or selecting a basketball player that scores well throughout the game through MYGUY.

Rack up enough points? Then it's time to redeem it for a plethora of things, ranging from deals, sweepstakes, gift cards, viggle swiggle/swaggle (just  made that up! - can't believe these are actual words in the Urban dictionary.) giving back to charities to Kindles and even a boat cruise (At the rate I'm earning points, I probably won't be able to redeem that, until my kid is like 16 years old, assuming I had one today...) 

But have no fear, your first redemption won't take years.  In fact, my first took only about 2 months and I got a $25 Best Buy gift card!

Sharing is caring! And don't forget to...
1. Bing your way to some cha-chinga!
2. Locket in - swipe, swipe, swipe away!
3. Do the viggle - and VIGGLE it!

Come back next time for more cool app recommendations! =)
