I am so happy that the gift card rewards are back until 3/15/19. I wait for this to happen every year and doing all these tasks helps me enter for a lot of them.

  You got me excited for a moment, but pffft. Gift cards are not available for everyone, it must depend on your location and/or local trash/recycler affiliation. When I click on "gift cards" in the rewards section, I get
  " SORRY!
  There are no rewards in this category at this time.
  Please come back later.

  I noticed that also but if you click from the home page on the top is shows March 2019 Sweeps. It takes 10 points to enter so I guess I should have clarified that, you can not buy them you have to enter to win them. Hope you find them.

  It says March 2019 Giveaways, on the banner at the top of the home page.

Ask mothers and teachers of pre-schoolers in your community if they want paper for their kids to draw on: any paper that's blank on one side (no lines, etc) .
