Basically Swagbucks is a search engine that randomly gives you reward points (called Swagbucks) for doing online searches. That’s it. I don’t know about you, but I’m always searching for things…recipes, craft projects, homeschool ideas, etc. so I love earning points for doing the things I already do!
You’ll usually earn 1-3 points, or Swagbucks, per day. Then when you have collected enough Swagbucks you can cash them in for gift cards. For example, it takes 45 points (Swagbucks) to earn a $5 Amazon giftcard. There are lots of other prizes to choose as well, I just prefer the gift cards or PayPal money (feeds my scrapbooking addiction! LOL)
I’ve only been earning points with Swagbucks for a few months, but I was able to cash in some of my points at Christmastime for Amazon gift cards which I then used for Christmas gifts! And now I am saving my points to cash in for some homeschooling curriculum. I know a girl who saves all her Swagbucks and then “buys” diapers on Amazon with the gift cards she’s earned! Since I have three kiddos in diapers that’s not a bad idea. LOL! I have another friend who’s saving all her Swagbucks in hopes to fully fund Christmas this year! How cool is that?
Anyway, I’m sure you can think of your own ideas for how you would spend your Swagbucks.
So here’s the deal:
- I refer you and you sign up to get your own Swagbucks account. You can download the search bar, or just do searches on Swagbucks.com.
- Then, you just do your normal online thing…but every time you need to search for something, use the Swagbucks search bar. After a few searches a little message pops up to tell you how many Swagbucks you’ve won. (It’s usually just one, but sometimes I get three or five.)
- Then, watch your Swagbucks accumulate! Redeem them for a gift card when you have enough, or don’t. Whatever. It’s up to you.
- If you have a blog you also might want to check out their referral program. For every person who signs up with your referral code, you can earn up to 100 matching Swagbucks! (You can see why I’m telling you about this, yeah?)
As my friend Kelleigh says, “Swagbucks is just another way we can get the internet to make money for us.” If you don’t need extra money, then ignore my post. But if it sounds interesting, why not join? Even if it’s just to help me reach my goal of saving up for my homeschooling curriculum!
Thanks for reading my commercial.
