Swagbucks!!

I joined Swagbucks in the middle of June to see what all the hype was about.  Many other crafty people are using Swagbucks to try to earn points.  I have also joined about 800 other sites in the hopes of using my downtime at home with the kids to get free stuff.  So far, Swagbucks is one of only 2 or 3 lucrative sites! 

Swagbucks is basically the same as Google.  The concept is - you search for items using their "google" page and you earn swagbucks.  I installed the Swagbucks toolbar and use it instead of the google toolbar.  Over the course of the last 2 months, I have earned 1,494 Swagbucks!!  Just today, I Swag-googled the term "blog giant grocery deal" and I won 100 swagbucks!!

Disclaimer: Results not typical!

Seriously, 100 swagbucks is rare on a search, however, I usually win close to 50 swagbucks a day just from searching things I normally would google.  Todays searches consisted of "Crap!  I forgot to thaw the roast!" "Crap! I forgot to buy cream of mushroom soup!"  "Substitute for dry onion packet" and "Carry-out number for Outback".

On average, I will win 11 swagbucks for 1 out of 4 searches!!  After 2 months, I can take my 1,494 swagbucks to the swagstore and pick from the following gift cards:

I could get $20 in Amazon.com giftcards, or $10 to Starbucks or Barnes and Noble!  I am saving all my bucks to get a bunch of Amazon.com gift cards to do my Christmas shopping with.

Important info regarding redeeming your Swagbucks:  If you plan on redeeming your Swagbucks for Amazon.com gift cards, it is more advantageous to redeem $5 Amazon.com giftcards as frequently as possible.  (10 $5 Amazon.com gift cards are 1,500 swagbucks cheaper than 1 $50 Amazon.com gift card!)  There is a limit - 2 rewards daily and only up to 5 of the same rewards per month.  Good thing there are Starbucks and Target gift cards on there :)
