The Swagbucks Program Explained

Today is Mega Swagbucks Friday!

If you are wondering what this means, keep reading: it’s worth it!

My friend, Cheryl, who blogs over at Simply CVS wrote a simple description of the Swagbucks program and has agreed to share it with us today! Since CVS is her specialty, she concentrates on the CVS gift cards you can earn through Swagbucks, but keep in mind that you can earn gift cards to just about anywhere through Swagbucks!

I have enjoyed earning Amazon gift cards and more recently CVS gift cards by simply searching the web at Swagbucks. About a year ago my daughter stumbled upon a site that allows you to “win” points while searching the web and doing other online activities and trade them in for gift cards and prizes. Many of you, I am sure, are already acquainted with Swagbucks, but for those of you who are not I’d like to share a little about it in case it is something you would like to do. I have consistently earned one to three $5 Amazon gift cards each month with little time invested and recently have been able to easily earn a $10 CVS Gift Card each month. They offer all kinds of items in the Swag Store from sports collectibles to movies to posters to gift cards and much more.

Swagbucks are “won” every now again throughout the day as you use their search engine for your regular searching. It does not increase your chances by searching excessively and actually your account can be frozen if you search in excess to try and win. I use it for any of my regular searches and sometimes first thing in the morning when I get online I will search for whatever website I want to visit. It is my understanding that a normal day will usually net a member three wins–anywhere from 5 to 50 Swagbucks each.

Every Friday is Mega Swagbucks day where you can earn even bigger amounts. It takes 450 Swagbucks for a $5 Amazon card and 1249 for a $10 CVS gift card. But there are other ways to win, too.

Daily Polls — one simple question with 4 to 6 multiple choice answers (win 1)
Surveys — win 1 just for clicking on it and then take surveys for more
Tool Bar — win daily just for having the tool bar on whenever you bring up the browser it is in (once a day)
Special Offers — two ways: scroll thru daily special offers for a few Swagbucks or participate in others and win
Referrals — you earn as your referrals earn from searching (up to the first 1000 points), this is how some people have gotten a LOT of free stuff
Shop Online — they offer several national online stores that if you place your order after going thru the Swagbucks webpage you will earn
Trade Ins — they take trade ins of old cellphones, MP3s, video games and consoles
Swag codes — special codes they put out for an hour or two that when entered gives you Swagbucks

So, what are you waiting for? If you haven’t yet begun earning by using the Swaqbucks search engine, give it a try! It’s an easy way to earn without much effort.
