Reward yourself by joining these 12 (free!) rewards programs!

AMEX TWITTER SYNC

With this new program, you can know sync your AMEX with your Twitter account to earn rewards.

When my husband purchases electronics, he tends to go to Best Buy (though sometimes other stores are cheaper). We've gotten a few $10 gift cards, though it takes awhile to earn them. And they've changed their program recently, such as if you don't make a purchase, points are lost, etc. But overall, a good program.

DISNEY MOVIE REWARDS

This program has a lot of good rewards, such as Disney related items, such as movies, toys, etc. You can earn points from buying Disney dvds, going to the movies and more. Also, check out their Facebook page. Sometimes they send out bonus points to Facebook fans.

EBATES

Makes it very easy to earn cash (and sometimes double cash) over online shopping. Sign up here!

HUGGIES

Save up those Huggies points from diapers, wipes and more and cash in for gift cards or sweepstakes entries! I won a $25 gift card a few years ago from their online sweeps.

KELLOGGS

Love cereal? Save up those points from Kellogg's cereal, Pop Tarts, and more and enter them to win prizes and other Kellogg's themed merchandise!

MYPOINTS.COM

I shop through their web site all the time and have cashed in points for gift cards. Click on the mypoints link above to sign up (completely free!)

MYCOKEREWARDS

This is one of my favorite programs, because we love Coke products in our house (especially Diet Coke) and the points do add up quickly. I've cashed in for free movie rentals, cases of Diet Coke, Blockbuster gift cards, Budget car rental gift card, magazine subscriptions and much more.

PAMPERS

Get rewarded by being loyal to Pampers! Enter in codes from their diapers, wipes and more and cash in for Shutterfly rewards, gift cards, magazines and more. Sign up here!

REGAL CROWN CLUB

We go to the movies about once a month and the points add up over time. We've gotten a free movie ticket, free drinks and free popcorn. The coupons print at the ticket window.

SHOPKICK

Allows you to accumulate points ("kicks") just for visiting many of the nation's top retailers, like Macy's, Old Navy, and Best Buy. Scanning items on your smartphone and making purchases can earn you even more points. Points can be redeemed for gift cards at your favorite stores. Sign up here.

STOUFFER'S DINNER CLUB

We love Stouffer's frozen meals and I recently started collecting the points. They offer lots of rewards, including free Redbox rentals, free Stouffer's meals, free Fandango movie tickets and more.

UPROMISE

Allows you to earn money towards college on your everyday spending at more than 800 online stores and thousands of supermarkets, drug stores, and restaurants. Members simply register their credit card to a Upromise account to earn 1%-25% cash back on qualified purchases. You can choose to invest your earnings in a savings account or 529 plan, or use your funds to pay down a student loan or other college expenses
