I have had so many friends tell me to use Swagbucks but was never really into it until one day I was home bored on maternity leave. I was weary because so many of those sites are spammy or hard to use but I thought I would check it out! Much to my surprise, the Swagbucks site was so easy to use, navigate and not spammy at all!
Swagbucks At A Glance
- Free to use and to sign up. Sign up here now.
- Started in 2005 (It’s not going anywhere)
- Easy to use and actually fun!
- Take surveys, watch videos, surf the web, play games, shop online to earn gift cards or cash via paypal.
- A swagbuck means a different amount depending on where you are in the world – 500SB is $5 paypal for US residents, or for 800SB for £5 paypal in the UK. 500SB sounds like a lot but it doesn’t take long to get there!
- Redeem the Swagbucks for gift cards you can use at Amazon, CVS, Burger King, Paypal…literally hundreds of places!
Ways to earn on Swagbucks
- Shop Online! Simple! Easy! Just simply access the stores online site through swagbucks and earn Swagbucks when you shop. Cash back shopping at over 1500 retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Starbucks. Earn SB points for every dollar you spend plus get access to exclusive deals and coupons to your favorite retailers.

2. Surveys and Daily Polls! Another super easy way! Share your opinions and get free gift cards! Earn SB points when you answer fun surveys and polls. This is more time consuming than other ways to earn on Swagbucks so choose your polls and surveys wisely! The polls seem to be a bit quicker and easier.
3. Playing Games- Fun but not huge payouts but take a whirl and build up some Swagbucks! 
4. Watch Videos- You are limited to 150 Swagbucks a day on this one but watch away! There are all kinds of topics and interests so might as well get your bucks! Watch entertaining videos and get free gift cards! Earn SB points for watching playlists that weâve put together just for you!

5. Online Search through Swagbucks site- This is probably the easiest way to earn doing what you do already! The Yahoo-powered search bar is available by upload to your browser as well. Just search away!

Other ways to earn:
They also have a really cool referral program so once you are a member and earning if anyone signs up under you or you refer someone by invite, you get 10% of their Swagbucks for life. For example, if they earn 100 SB, you earn 10. They also have free trials you can sign up for. Be careful here, some you have to cancel and you might forget that you signed up for them!
My recommendation for Mom or anyone for that matter is- do it! What do you have to lose? It is really a win-win with little time invested! With very little effort I usually rack up 1-2 gift cards a month, that I can then give as gifts when it is someone’s birthday or save for Christmas or use myself to buy things I need on Amazon! It is awesome! Just decide how much time you want to spend as you could easily get end up spending way too much time on the site. Go for the offers that pay the most SB’s!

I totally agree after having tested a few survey sites. Swagbucks seemed to have the most options for me and it funnels up into my search bar points so I earn faster.
I signed up for Swagbucks a few years ago and I never really used it much. A lot of my friends really like using it so I will have to give it a try again soon.
