Have you heard of My Points? I've been a member for a couple of years now and have earned multiple gift cards. All you have to do is just click on a website link in their emails and you will earn 5 points. You can try their offers or use them as a shopping portal and earn points, too, but I think the best/easiest way is to just click on the email links and earn 5 points each.
If you do want to try their offers and such, I'd recommend getting an additional email address as they will submit your email address to the company that is offering the deal. If you plan to just click on the 5 points links, then it's safe to use your primary email address. I've been a member for 2+ years and have yet to see an increase in spam.
Right now I have 3,410 points. I normally save up enough points for a $10 gift card, get impatient, and cash them in. This time I'm saving up to see how long I can go before going crazy. ;) This takes at most one minute out of each day. Go earn some FREE gift cards!

Great post. 2 years is a long time. How many gift cards did you get? Our company just launched a program with MyPoints! Great to hear you're using it!
Austin, I'm not sure how many I've gotten. I'd say at least four $10 giftcards and several other $5 giftcards. I have enough points right now for a $25 card. MyPoints is really cool because you don't have to do anything other than click on links to earn free giftcards! I really enjoy their site.
Hi Tessa,
I'm a MyPoints fan, too. Recently my daughter got married and MyPoints gift cards to Wal Mart/Sam's Club paid for almost all of the food we prepared and served. (She and I and her fiance had been saving points for almost two years.) I've also given gift cards for Christmas presents.
I'm planning to write a short article for the church bulletin about starting a "My Points Ministry," i.e., open an account and get gift cards to buy supplies for homeless shelters or food banks or to get gifts for a family you adopt for Christmas. It's a nearly painless way of giving, since you don't have to do anything except point and click.
