Searching for Swagbucks

What is Swagbucks? Swagbucks is a search engine sort of like Google, Yahoo! and Bing. However, with Swagbucks as your main search engine, you can earn actual Swagbucks at random throughout the day using their website to search online.

What exactly are Swagbucks and what can you do with them? Swagbucks are a form of exchange on the website that you earn by completing different tasks on their website, such as searching the web or answering a daily poll. You can typically earn between six and 55 Swagbucks per search; however, the process is extremely random!

As you start accumulating Swagbucks, you can redeem them for prizes. What kind of prizes can you earn? Rewards include Amazon Gift Cards, PayPal Cash, Electronics and Video Games, among a multitude of others.

How many Swagbucks do you need to earn a prize? To give an idea of how the system works, an Amazon $5 gift card is redeemed by using 450 Swagbucks, so every 90 Swagbucks earns you $1. The Amazon Gift card will be provided to you via your Swagbucks account page, where you are given the Gift Card number to copy and paste into the checkout at Amazon. You can redeem $5 in PayPal cash with 700 Swagbucks. Therefore, in this case, every 140 Swagbucks earns you $1.

There are multiple ways to earn Swagbucks on the site, but using their search engine is by far the easiest and most effective way to do so. I would highly recommend any college student that is a constant web searcher to start using Swagbucks and receive a little return for internet searches. It is an effortless way to add a little leeway to a strained college budget.

How can you sign up and gain access? Simple, visit http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/LRB3123 and follow all of the directions (you won’t be asked to provide any confidential information). As soon as you are all set to go, start searching and earn those Swagbucks!
