Day Four: Swagbucks
Today, we are taking an unusual turn from our normal penny pinching topics to talk about Swagbucks. There are no catches, no hidden fees. I simply use Swagbucks as my search engine. There are ways to work it harder like looking at their offers, solving the riddles or shopping their store. I also shop at regular online retailers through their websites and get double the points for what I spend.
Confused? The best description I have found on Swagbuck was actually done by The Krazy Coupon Lady. The following is an excerpt:
What are Swagbucks?
In a nutshell, swagbucks is a search engine like google (it’s actually powered by google and ask.com) that pays you for doing web searches.
- You will likely accumulate 20-30 Swagbucks per week for performing as few as an average five searches per day.
- 45 Swagbucks = $5 Amazon credit.
- With average searches, you can make $15 in amazon credit each month just by searching with a SwagBucks!
Plus, you can get up to 100 Swagbucks for every friend you refer!
The Full Story:
Step One: Register with Swagbucks. Anyone can search with swagbucks, but if you want to begin accumulating your bucks, you’ll need to register.
Step Two: The search. Instead of google, you’ll now use www.Search.Swagbucks.com. There are a few ways to make it easy to remember to use your swagbucks search.
Download Swagbucks Toolbar. I thought this was a mandatory download and I knew my husband hates me downloading things like this to our computer, so it kept me away from Swagbucks. But the toolbar is totally optional and not mandatory; still you may want to check it out! I now use it and love to get a buck or two just for using it.
Set Swagbucks as home page. Again, optional.
Bookmark Swagbucks: Go to the “bookmarks” tab on your browser, select “Bookmark this Page”, then under folder, select bookmarks toolbar. This will save the swagbucks link in your toolbar for easy access.
Step Three: Stockpile Swagbucks! Swagbucks do NOT expire. You can hoard them as you like! Redeem them for electronics or gift cards!
What questions do you have? I’m sure many of you are already using swagbucks! What have you got with your redeemed bucks?
