How to earn free phone calls from Phone Hog

You can earn free phone calls from Phone Hog by accepting a few emails per month and clicking on those that offer free units for reading an ad. Many other offers for free units are offered on Phone Hog's web site. Units may be used for domestic or international calls originating in the U.S. One unit equals one minute domestically, less internationally. My Phone Hog units seem to be always just enough to make the few international calls I need to make for reservations I can't make on line or by email.

You can earn up to 4 free units per dollar spent at the Phone Hog Shopping Mall. Lots of familiar vendors, including GiftCertificates.com at 1 unit per $2 spent. Find the link on the left menu after you log into your account.

You can convert Phone Hog units to Aeroplan, Alaska, America West, Asia Miles, Midwest, or US Airways miles, or Priority Club points, via points.com. At the ratios offered, the units are worth more than the miles, but only if you can use them for phone calls. If you have more units that you can possibly use, converting them to miles may be a useful option

How to earn quick e-Miles

e-Miles Members earn e-Miles miles through earning opportunities for the Member's time spent viewing marketing or advertising messages and answering questions about the messages. The amount of e-Miles miles that can be earned will be stipulated with each earning opportunity. Miles can be earned with your choice of major U.S. and international airlines, including AirTran, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Northwest Airlines, or US Airways. The program is up and running, and looks quite promising. Links to ads are posted on the page you get when you go to your home page. This is automatic if you accept cookies. Clicking on each ad gives you a pop-up after you click on the link. But the original page changes to a list of a few questions at the same time. You must always answer the questions to get the miles. The questions are easy and few. I consider this worth my time. Sometimes an email is sent to you telling you that you have earnings opportunities, sometime not. I recommend checking the site frequently to see if you have an earnings opportunity.
