I thought this was noteworthy. This search engine gives something back to it's users. You earn (or as they put it "win") bucks that you redeem for gift cards or other miscellanious goodies.

swagbucks.com: Swag Store

I downloaded the toolbar and hid my other ones so that I remember to use swagbucks exclusively. AND...the search results are from google and ask.com.

In my family of 5 somebody is always searching for this or that so I think we will accululate bucks in no time at all.

Free is good!!!

[skbrush]

its free but I think it is very slow to payout?? anyone else feel this way?

[sandygirl]

I use swagbucks every day while I work for ChaCha and do my regular searching.

I get a $5 amazon GC{45 swagbucks} about every 2 weeks or so. not bad for something I was already doing!

[hippiemama]

you know, i've gotten a cool t-shirt for my son already, and i already have more built up to get something else. i'd say i get at least 3 swagbucks a day, sometimes like 7 or 8. depending also if i check their facebook page and get the clues to enter in their swagcode for free swagbucks. fridays they give away double the amount too.

i figure if i'm already searching with google anyway, why not search through swagbucks that uses google and get a free t-shirt or giftcard every month? they have other cool stuff too, and you can also recycle old games and cellphones for swagbucks too.

[skbrush]

OK I will do those things!! I started 2 weeks ago and have 15pts?

[grocerymama]

I was thinking of signing up. I'll have to give it a shot.

[alertdiver]

I have been using it for a few weeks and think it's great.

[JillRogers]

So far I have 95 bucks and have been wondering whether or not I should redeem them. I want to get online amazon gift cards, but am wondering if the gift codes they give you expire? I want to save all the online amazon gift cards I get to use for Christmas gifts later, but am wondering if I should redeem them in December in case they expire. Anyone know??

[mattnlizjones]

I hate those scam sites where you can "get a $500 gift card!" for signing up for deals like new visa cards, etc. You always have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get the prizes.

But this site really works. I discovered swagbucks is a great way to win free stuff just by searching the web.

Swagbucks is a search engine powered by Google and Ask.com - so your search results are very similar to what you'd get with them. The thing that makes it unique is that every so often you win one, two, five, ten, even 100 "swagbucks" when you search the internet. You accumulate these swagbucks and redeem them for gift cards or other exclusive products. Just 45 swagbucks gets you a $5 Amazon gift card. And there's virtually no work involved. I just installed the Swagbucks toolbar from the website. I use swagbucks as my search page instead of google, and I earned my first Amazon card in a few weeks.

You can earn stuff (they have other prizes besides gift cards) even faster when you refer others to Swagbucks, because you earn points when they win too. Multi-level marketing without having to sell anything! Even more free stuff! Love it. It's a great way to get stuff we need or want without using money from our budget.

You don't have to give any information except your name, email address, state and zip code and there are no fees. Harmless enough.

You can get 3 swagbucks when you sign up here and use the code FRUGALLIVINGCODE when you register (the code is case sensitive, so make sure you use all caps or just cut & paste it). This code will get you 3 swagbucks in addition to the 3 you receive upon registration. Use this code and you will be on your way to free stuff!

This code is valid for new members only and will expire at midnight on June 16th (Pacific time).

Just go to Swagbucks and start searching!

Does anyone else use swagbucks

[amandall22]

yea its one of those sounds to good to be true (not calling you a liar)......i would like to know if others have used it as well?

[VintageTink]

I havnt personally used the site. Treasuretrooper is a good one though. I worked for them ( no longer do) but they DO pay their members and have a good following ( over 100 thousand members) and the owners are pretty decent.

There is a list of good and bad sites but i dont know where it went

[xoxo4debbie]

my friend uses this and loves it!! she always trades her points in for amazon gift cards!

[mattnlizjones]

Yeah, I'd love to hear how others have used it successfully! I've read about it on several coupon and frugal living blogs that I read... are we allowed to post about other blogs on this site? I'm new so I'm still figuring this out!

[deah]

I have gotten a couple of Starbucks gift cards from Swagbucks.

[dmorey]

I've used it less than two months and have cashed in for $10 to Amazon. It's not a bad deal if you search anyway. Takes me about three weeks to get $5 Amazon.

[ChristineV]

I use it too!

[mattnlizjones]

Thanks for all your input everyone!

[jrits]

I do!! Love it!!

[sunshine75]

I do, but don't love it, yet!
I've been doing it for about a month and only have 67 so far. Is that normal??
How do you get more??

[sjkyne]

I use it as my primary search engine so I get about 2 points a day and 45 poinints gets a $5 amazon gifft card, so it adds up quick
