Swagbucks.com is more than a search engine. It is a virtual Chuck E. Cheese’s. You can play (or search) and accumulate points to get cool prizes. Here’s how it works.
When you use Swagbucks.com, you receive points or “bucks,” ranging from 1 to 100, which you can exchange for items in their online store. The store has items ranging from accessories and gift cards to electronics and seasonal specials.
However, that is not all.There are many other ways to get Swagbucks points. If you recommend the site to your friends, you will receive the first 100 points they receive. You can also get points when you answer their surveys or trade in your old cell phones, games or gaming consoles. Every hour the site picks a random winner who is awarded 100 points.
You can also earn Swag “bucks” if you take advantage of their daily offers. They usually include other services, like Netflix, Equifax, and buycostumes.com. If you register with one of the services in the Swagbucks daily specials you can earn between 10 and 700 “bucks.” Finally, you can take the daily poll and earn points that way, too.
Once you have points, not only can you use them in the store, you can also use them in the Swagstakes section of the site. There, you can bid on an item against other users.
While you have to register to use the site, registration and usage are free. You can also get a widget to place on your Facebook profile or Web site, to get your friends to use Swagbucks and get their points.
You don’t get points every time you search, though, and there is no fixed amount of points you get each time. You may get 5 points when you search for “Monday Night Football results” today, but you may get 50 “bucks” when you search for “Rangers vs. Devils 2010 schedule” five days later.
So, next time you need to find something online head over to Swagbucks.com and get the answer you need, plus the toy you want.
