Swag Bucks

Swag Bucks is a website where you earn their "Bucks" for searching, watching videos, doing offers and more.  You then use the bucks to redeem prizes.

Swag Bucks


 

 

I kept seeing posts from my Facebook friends about them winning Swag Bucks, so finally I decided to give it a shot.  At first Swag Bucks was having some technical difficulties, so I was not able to sign up right away.  I patiently waited a couple days and the site was back up and running.  After signing up, I installed a toolbar for Firefox.  I earn 1 "buck" everyday just for having the toolbar.  I also changed my home page to Swag Bucks search instead of Google.  After a few days of using the Swag Bucks search engine, I did notice that the searches were not exactly the same as Google, so I did change my home page back to Google.  I will still use the search with Swag Bucks, if there is something I am searching for I will use the Swag Bucks search first, and if I am not finding what I am looking for I will go back to Google.  So far since joining on Sept. 25th, I have earned 394 bucks just from searches.

You also can earn bucks from doing surveys, you even earn one buck just for going to the survey page each day, even if you don't have any surveys to do.  So far I have earned 340 bucks from doing surveys.  Sometimes there will be surveys that you do not qualify for.  They have also had some issues with surveys telling people that the survey had meet it's quota half way through the survey.  Swag Bucks has set up a special drawing though when that happens for 1000 SB (Swag Bucks), so at least when it does happen I don't feel so bad.

That brings me to the Swagstakes.  Swagstakes are drawings that you can enter to win prizes with your Swag Bucks, for instance I entered for a chance to win a 32 gig ipod touch for 20 SB.  Entering to win a prize costs way less SB than it would be to redeem the prize.  For comparison there is an 8 gig ipod touch for 22,999 SB.

So far I have used my SB to redeem two $5 Amazon.com gift cards.  I have also entered into a few Swagstakes.  I am only 46 bucks away from my next Amazon gift card.

 


Swag Bucks is a fun way to earn some prizes online, I am not super aggressive with it, and I have already earned two (almost three) $5 Amazon.com gift cards. If you have not already signed up, what are you waiting for?  It's fun and it's free!  Click here to join.
