Toluna lets you apply for these so make sure you log in frequently to see what new products are available.

So many sites offer a Bonus when you refer your friends and they make a purchase. You can share your favorite websites with your friends and earn Free Credits to spend on Gifts for your Friends and Family. Some of my favorite companies that offer referral credit include:

Gilt,Zulily, RueLaLa and One Kings Lane.
