Advantages: Paid for doing what you already do

Disadvantages: Very US based

I am always very wary of writing about get paid to surf programs as when I do theu usually go belly up - see other review on getpaid4. Anyway, here goes.

Spedia is the standard idea of an adbar on screen while you surf. However, there is a twist to this one. Firstly you musy change URL every minute to prove you are actively surfing ( sometimes quite a challenge ) and secondly you don't get paid if you are online in Outlook Express writing email.

The real difference with the program however is that you accumulate points rather than actual time surfing on your account. You can also earn points by receiving email ( at the time of writing I have received none ) and by signing up for affiliate programs. These are anything from online games to dating services! I found that a lot of these were only available in the USA though. Your points are then exchanged into US dollars after the monthly rate is determined ( last month it was a resectable $0.70 an hour ) and when you have $30 a cheque is despatched.

A word of warning though, if your cheque is going outside of the USA a charge of $4.50 is made.

Up to now, so far so good - but please, keep your fingers crossed for me!
