After reading about SwagBucks on the Southern Savers blog, I decided to sign up. Basically, you earn this virtual money (called SwagBucks) via online activity. And you can redeem this virtual money for various prizes. My plan is to use it on Amazon.com gift cards so I can get mp3s and video on demand for free. You only have to earn 45 SwagBucks to get a $5 Amazon card, which will pay for 4-5 songs, a couple of TV episodes (like Glee!), or a movie. I’ve already earned 3 for signing up, several for searching, and I’m trading in an old cell phone for 50. You can earn them by shopping online, too. All kinds of opportunities out there!
If you’re interested, go here and sign up. (And just in the interest of full disclosure, I do get SwagBucks for referring people, but I think it’s worth doing or I wouldn’t recommend it!)
And if you’re using SwagBucks, fill me in…how has it worked for you? How long did it take you to earn 45 and what have you gotten from them?

I remembered your post and had to find it this morning. I also saw the Swagbucks info on either SoutherSavers or Our Frugal Journey (I can’t remember which one was first) and I downloaded it the day it was posted. I now have 55 bucks and I have to place an Amazon order today, so I’m going to redeem 45 for a gift card!! I’m so exited — it’s so easy!
