Search & Win

Anyone who has been reading this blog for long knows that I am one of Swag Bucks biggest fans.  (Read all about my obsession here.) It is one of the easiest ways I have ever found to earn gift cards and other great prizes simply for searching the web.

That’s why I was super excited when Swag Bucks contacted me to  let me know that they are unveiling some awesome new features this week and asked if I would like to offer a special 6 Swag Buck code to anyone who signs up here.

So, if you are one of those few people who has yet to take the Swag Bucks plunge, this is your lucky day!  Here’s what you do:

  • Then enter code: SHOESTRING (make sure it’s all in caps) and you will receive an additional 3 Swag Bucks!  You are now well on your way to a $5 Amazon gift card for 45 Swag Bucks or other great prizes.
  • Be sure to download the toolbar right away and begin using it to search the web and the Swag Bucks will begin flowing in!

(Unfortunately for all you Swag Bucks Veterans, the code is only for new members, but be aware that Swag Bucks will be running a number of “Swag Code” hunts on their Facebook, Blog and Twitter pages this week in honor of their new features.  If you find any, let us know!)

Oh…and would you like to know what today’s new feature is at Swagbucks.com? They are adding 1000’s of new and used titles to the video game section of the Swag Store, and they are offering a special sale on many of these titles!  So for all you gamers (or moms of gamers!), go check it out!

Stay tuned throughout the week as I share the new features being offered each day!

Now…what are you waiting for?  Take the Swag Buck plunge and enter code: SHOESTRING (enter it in the box on the left side of the page and then click ‘gimme’).  The code is good until Tues., June 16 at 11:59 PST.

By the way, you can earn up to 100 Swag Bucks for each person that you refer (click on promote at the top of the page to find out how to refer people).  If you refer them this week, tell them to enter code: SHOESTRING as well to get 3 additional Swag Bucks!
