Swagbucks Explained and Get 140 Swagbucks for New Users

If you have not signed up for  Swagbucks, you are missing out! I use my free Amazon.com gift cards all year long. I bought hubby and I a Breville juicer last year using free Amazon.com gift cards from using  Swagbucks.

Right now they are having a birthday bash and new users will get 140  Swagbucks added to your account (30 is the usual amount). When you join, just use BIRTHDAYBASH12 at registration. Then RSVP to the Birthday Bash and be entered to win $1000. You can do that right here: 

I just RSVP’d to the Swagbucks Birthday Bash and entered to win $1000 – join me for your chance to win!

 To earn your gift cards, just log in to your account, the use their search engine to find what you are looking for and earn free  Swagbucks that you convert into free gift cards. You can also refer your friends, take surveys, post your link on your blog or Facebook, donate  Swagbucks to charity and more!

 If you are not familiar with Swagbucks, here is how to get started:

Swagbucks has a search bar where you type in your searches just as if you were typing into Google or Ask.com. The answers you get, come from these two search engines. To reward you for taking this extra step, you get free points called Swagbucks.

Amazon.com is not the only store offering free gift cards. You can also redeem your Swagbucks at retailers like JCPenney, Lowe’s, Barnes & Noble, Target and Starbucks. 

You can really get into this site and spend a lot of time on it – or you can just do a couple searches a day and earn some free gift cards. There are all kinds of prizes, contests, and multiple ways to redeem and use your Swagbucks.

If you want to just give it a try- just set up a free account and do two searches on anything like “iPod” and “tomatoes”. You don’t have to get into the sites or read anything or stay on them, you just need to do the searches to win the Swagbucks.

Generally, you are awarded your free Swagbucks after your second search, so if you try it, make sure you do two searches. These Swagbucks are awarded and credited to your account automatically. You will see a pop-up window that says “you have been awarded 10,20 or 30 Swagbucks. Then you just click on “return to search” and resume your surfing. It takes all of one second.

They don’t ask you for any personal information to set up an account, don’t require a credit card and I have not gotten any spam or unwanted emails as a result of using Swagbucks.

I know they are using this site to track my surfing habits, but I figure Google is doing that anyway, so I might as well get some free stuff for it. If this makes you crazy, then this probably isn’t for you.

I subscribed to their blog because they often put extra Swagbucks codes in their blog posts. When you see a Swagbucks code, just return to your home page of Swagbucks and type the code in the bar that says “enter a swag code” above the word “gimmee“. That’s it -more bonus Swagbucks for you. Always make sure that you are logged in to your account before you start so you get the proper credit.

Give it a try! Make sure you log in on Fridays-it is Mega Swagbucks Day when you can earn more  Swagbucks!
