So. have I got your attention? Ha ha! A few years ago, I joined Swagbucks. Basically, Swagbucks is a program where you can earn (you guessed it) Swag “bucks.” You’re randomly rewarded “bucks” for doing web searches using their Google Search Engine. Although I don’t normally do tons of searches, every time I go to ANY site, including Hotmail to check my email, or Facebook, or my own blog even, I type it into my Swagbucks tool bar. You don’t have to install their tool bar to join or search, but it makes it a lot more convenient for me. You can also earn Swagbucks by taking daily polls, watching videos, playing online games, and all sorts of other activities.
Now, here’s where the free stuff comes in. You can save up your “bucks” and redeem them for all sorts of various prizes. I ALWAYS redeem mine for Amazon gift cards. It takes 450 “bucks” to earn a $5 Amazon gift card. (I can usually earn enough points without really trying, to exchange for 3 – 5 gift cards each month.) Even though we’re only talking $5 at a time, you would really be surprised at how quickly it adds up. There are other increments of Amazon cards you can save up for, but having done the math, the $5-for-450-bucks is the best deal in the long run.
Once I’ve saved up enough Amazon cards to purchase what I want, I make sure to get items that qualify for free shipping. Your Amazon purchase has to add up to at least $25 to get the free shipping, but I’m more than happy to do that. After all, free is free!!
If you would like to check out Swagbucks, click HERE! If you have any questions or would like more info, please don’t hesitate to ask…this is a program that has given me so many free goodies, so I’m happy to help! Oh, and FYI…quite a few blog readers also participate in this program, and I know from one very sweet reader (hi Kristan!) that it works in Canada too. My understanding is that it works world wide, although some different prizes may be offered in other parts of the world.
One more fyi…this isn’t a sponsored post or anything like that. I just really believe in this program since I’ve seen it work over and over.
Happy Scrapping!
