Swagbucks- earn rewards for surfing the web

Pin It

Have you heard of Swagbucks? I have been hearing about it for a while now, but just didn't take the time to figure out what it was all about. I signed up a few days ago and have to say- I'm pleasantly surprised. It's actually a very simple program- download their toolbar, search the web like you always would, and you are rewarded periodically with "Swagbucks!" Once you accumulate some, you can redeem them for gift cards to amazon.com, Target, iTunes, Disney.com and a myriad of other places.

You don't technically have to download the toolbar, but I found I didn't remember to search through Swagbucks unless I had it. The search engine is powered by Google and ask.com. I do find it takes an extra step- typing in "Target" in the Swagbucks toolbar, then clicking on the link, as opposed to just typing in "Target" in Google and having the site pop right up. A small price to pay for earning FREE gift cards! I'd say I do some searching about 2-3 times a day, and in just a few days, I've earned 15 Swagbucks. I'm well on my way to the 220 needed for a $20 Target gift card!

Overall- it's a fun, easy way to earn extra $$! Go here for more info!
