I've got four gift cards in process right now - $20 for Bed Bath & Beyond, $20 for Circuit City, $20 for Lowe's and $40 in gas certificates. I've written down the dates I signed up for each, to make sure that I cancel within 30 days. I'm toying with the idea of selling the Circuit City and BB&B cards on eBay. Haven't decided yet. (Just looked on ebay, and the cards seem to generally go for about 80% of their face value. Seems worth it to me if I'm not likely to use them myself. When I signed up for them, I figured I'd got he eBay route with them.)
I'll total up my February AdSense revenue for my homeschool and tutoring sites, as well as my credit card roundups and add those amounts to my challenge account. I don't think I have any half.com sales for February, but I'll double-check. (I checked - already added the one sale into my account. Looks like I have about $18 in credit card round-ups to add, and about $14 in AdSense.)
April is right around the corner, and that's when I'm planning on reopening my boutique at DivaTribe. I've got my bath and body products already, and I ordered some jewelry from a favorite designer a couple of days ago. I need to finish up photos of my own items and make sure some of the technical ins and outs of the site are working - sales tax, credit cards, etc.
I'm thinking about taking a percentage of my sales and putting them in my challenge account. Nothing big, maybe 5%. Between advertising, buying materials and products and trying to actually make some money at this so DH doesn't have to work so many freelance hours, I need this to make some money.

The two offers I indicated were slow finally did send $10 checks. My bank statements only show the trial fees.
So, what do you tutor?

Glad to hear the slower offers did finally come in.
