Here’s a very HANDY TIP:

In order to receive any confirmation emails, paid to read offers or survey invitations, it is very helpful to make sure you have the website email address in your address book. You can go to each website and usually in their FAQ’s section, their address is listed. This way, your email program will not delete or block them because it thinks it’s SPAM or junk mail.
