How I get free stuff with Swagbucks

You know that saying, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is?" Well, in my experience that's almost always true. Here's one time when it isn't, though. I use Swagbucks, an online search engine, to earn gift cards for doing something I do everyday- both for personal use and work- searching the web!

Swagbucks is a search engine, just like Google or Dogpile or Yahoo. When you search using Swagbucks you randomly earn points that can be exchanged for lots of things, but I use them to get gift cards, including Amazon.com gift cards and PayPal cash! Just since last fall I've earned $45 in Amazon.com gift cards, and I was able to put many of those towards Christmas gifts. I also got several Starbucks gift cards in my early days, before I decided Amazon was better bang for my "bucks".

I also downloaded the Swagbucks toolbar, which makes it easy to always use Swagbucks to search. Occasionally there's also a code for more Swagbucks in the toolbar!

One of the best ways to get bucks, other than simply searching, is to refer your friends and family- just like I'm doing right now! In full disclosure, if you click my referral link and sign up,  you'll not only be on your way to earning free stuff, you'll be helping our family too! :)

Oh, and I thought you might need a little cuteness to encourage you!
