SwagBucks!

A lot of people have heard of SwagBucks at this point, but if you haven't, it's a good way to get gift cards for stores such as Amazon.com. It's a little late for this year, but if you start now you could save up quite a bit in time for next years holiday season. SwagBucks is a search engine (and more) that works like Google. You can go to their website (click here) and sign up and just use them as a search engine instead of what you use now. You will randomly earn points (called Swag Bucks) and those points can be redemed for gift cards and other things. Currently you can get a $5 gift card for 450 points. Over the last year, I have earned about $100 worth of Amazon.com gift cards which I used this year to help buy Christman presents for my family. Again, like ChaCha, this isn't going to get you a tun of money but every little bit helps and all you have to do is search, which you probably would have done anyway. You can earn extra Swag Bucks in a number of ways such as refering your friends, turning in old cell phones, and taking surveys. One downfall I have found is they don't always have information that is as detailed as Google, so if you need to search for something really complex, I would use your normal search engine. Happy Holidays to all!
