Winning Prizes with Swagbucks

Search & Win
It has been a while since my original post and I wanted to update you on this program. In case you haven’t heard about it already, Swagbucks is a “digital dollar” that you earn as a reward for doing certain things online. For instance, just doing a search using the Swagbucks search engine, you can earn rewards that can be redeemed for thousands of prizes. You can win video games, iPods, Amazon gift cards, and even cash is an option!

It’s important to note, that you don’t win Swagbucks every time you perform a search. The values of your rewards also vary, and there doesn’t appear to be a system that determines how much you win on a search. There are several other ways to earn rewards besides searching; you can take surveys, shop, trade in items, and take a daily poll to increase your Swagbucks.

If you’re skeptical about it, don’t worry. I was wary of joining the site at first too, but I’m a risk taker. At first, I was earning Swagbucks pretty slowly since I was so hesitant. After figuring out that I can earn in several different ways, I was earning a lot more and finally decided to redeem for a prize.

Posted to the right is a video of me opening an envelope containing a Cal Ripken Jr. card I chose as one of my prizes to show that this is a legitimate website. This was the first of three baseball cards that I collected from using the Swagbucks that I had earned from completing the different tasks. Each of my redemptions took a couple of weeks to process and a few weeks after that to ship and finally arrive at my door, which kind of leaves you wondering if you’ve been had if you haven’t forgotten about it. If you do happen to forget about the prize you claimed, you’ll have a nice surprise in the mail and feel compelled to explore further.

If you haven’t signed up for Swagbucks already, I highly suggest you do. Every search you do could earn you rewards to be redeemed for prizes, so why not? You can join here!

    Question: is there a prize of a tripod, if not can you get a three legged cat named tripod? Additionally are there interesting prizes to be won, or are they all just cal ripkin coasters? I will have to admit that I do have quite a few of those coasters and they work really well. Highly absorbant so my cup of icewater does not ruin the finish of my furniture, but you gotta take them out of the plastic. Yeah, tip number one Take them out of the plastic otherwise they are useless.

    All kidding aside great post, and nice video. I never heard of swag bucks, and now I know so it was useful to me.
