I first wrote about Swagbucks back in November 2008 when I first signed up for the program. Swagbucks is a search engine just like Google, Ask, or Bing with one key exception – they PAY you to search!!! Every so often, they reward you with a Swagbuck (or Swagbucks) when you search. The Swagbuck is their own currency, and they can be redeemed for gift cards or merchandise.
I just redeemed my Swagbucks for another $20 Target gift card. So far, I have personally earned 389 Swagbucks! It takes 235 Swagbucks to obtain a $20 Target gift card. It is FREE money! YES!
Here is a great feature of this program. Once you register, you can refer your friends. For their first 100 Swagbucks, you can earn a matching Swagbuck!
You can check it out and register HERE.
NOTE: We have a TON of additional “Budget Boosters” located on the Next Steps site – I would recommend you start with the Top 5 Lists!
