I learned about it at Money Saving Mom (also an amazing site to help find deals and other free goods). Here's what she has to say about SwagBucks.
If you're unfamiliar with SwagBucks, basically it's a search engine that randomly rewards you with points just for doing online searches. Seriously, that's all there is to it.
You'll likely earn between 1-3 points per day for searches and when you have 45 points, you can cash in for a $5 Amazon gift card. At 50 points, you can earn a $5 Starbucks gift card. And there are dozens of other great prizes to choose from as well. In fact, they just added airline miles as one of the new prizes.
For those of you with blogs or who have lots of friends who use the internet, you'll also want to check out their referral program. For every person who signs up with your referral code, you can earn up to 100 matching Swag Bucks! I have had so much fun introducing many of my friends to this fun program and seeing them earn prizes for doing what most all of us do on a regular basis every day--searching online!
So I decided to give it a shot! I've already got 14 points. I figure if I can get a free $5 gift card to Starbucks I'm more than willing to search here instead of somewhere else. Can't hurt, right??
