Adventures in couponing – Swagbucks.
Posted by Michelle on November 7th, 2010 . Filed under: Couponing .Happy Sunday, Girls!
I thought I’d take a weekend off the grocery pictures and show you a different way to make some money. We’re talkin’ about Swagbucks today – ever heard of it? Basically Swagbucks is a search engine – like Google – and you can win points (Swagbucks) that you exchange for prizes. I have to admit it all seemed complicated to me at first, but then I started using it and racked up the points and when I hit enough to score my first Amazon gift card, I was hooked.
You can load the toolbar, or just have Swagbucks open as a tab which is what I do. And anytime I want to find something, I just type in the search box like you would a Google search. I would guess that I do about 20 searches a day – sometimes for the same thing if I want to go back to a particular place – and I get points 1-2 times a day.
Your points are always showing up in the top right hand corner. 450 gets you a $5 Amazon gift card and you can use them as cash for your Amazon purchases.
There are other ecards you can buy with your accumulated Swagbucks, they have actual things you can buy too – I’m only interested in the Amazon gift cards 😉
Fridays are Mega Swagbucks Days which means more chances to get more points. You can also get 1 point per day for taking their daily poll. You can get points for watching videos and playing games, and even shopping online via the links on their site. It took me about 6 months of hearing about it to finally give it a shot. I’ve only been doing it for about 3 weeks or so…and already I’m gettin’ paid….without even leaving my house…or my chair for that matter…and without even spending a dime. Give it a shot – it’s kinda like gambling, every time you do a search and hit enter you get excited to see if you’re going to earn something; fun even!

Hmm…this sounds strange. Do you get a lot of junkmail and stuff fom hitting all the different sites?
