Swagbucks & Alice.com

I know most of you are new to this, so I really wanted to tell you about Swagbucks.com. 



Swagbucks is search engine, much like Google or  Yahoo! search.  The bonus with Swagbucks is that you win 'bucks' randomly when you search, and then you can redeem these Swagbucks for prizes.   My favorite prize is an Amazon gift card - you redeem 45 Swagbucks for $5 at Amazon.  There are also hundreds of other prizes you can redeem for!   I've redeemed for $75 in Amazon gift cards over the past several months - I use these for birthdays, Christmas gifts, or just to treat myself.

To sign up, go here, make Swagbucks your default search engine, then get searching!  Another great bonus is that when you refer someone, you earn up to 100 Swagbucks for each time they win also!   Between your own winnings, and your friends winnings, you can earn prizes very quickly!    I make the most of mine by literally searching for EVERYTHING.  While I know how to get directly to hotmail, instead, I type 'hotmail' in my search box before going there and then click through to it.  The more you search, the more you win!  I usually win once or twice per day and redeem for gift cards usually once or twice per month.  I don't know about you, but an extra $5-$10 per month just for searching is awesome!



Additionally, right now Swagbucks is offering a $5 gift card to Alice.com for only 12 Swagbucks.  Sorry about that - that gift card doesn't seem to be available anymore.  Still, thanks Crystal, at MoneySavingMom  for this tip!  Crystal wrote more about Alice.com here and here.
