New Sign-Ups Get 30 Swagbucks

If you still haven’t signed-up for Swagbucks then I’d love to start you off with 30 Swagbucks in your new account today.  It’s the best way to earn free gift cards (and even PayPal cash) just by searching the internet.

How to get started with 30 Swagbucks (brand new sign-ups only):

My favorite reward that you can redeem with your Swagbucks is the $5 Amazon.com gift certificate. You can redeem one after earning 450 Swagbucks. It’s the best value I’ve found in the gift cards section of the Swagstore because it costs only 90 Swagbucks per dollar. The beauty of Amazon.com gift cards is that you can use several in one transaction, and if you take advantage of free shipping than you really can get something for free (or pretty darn close).

My second favorite reward is the $10 Starbucks gift card. This is one of the few gift cards that Swagbucks will mail you, the rest are eGiftcards. So this makes a great gift option that you can stick in an envelope. It takes 1300 Swagbucks for a $10 Starbucks gift card.

I honestly was kind of skeptical about Swagbucks until I actually started using it consistently as my search engine. Here’s why I’m now a huge fan:
* Get Results: I get similar search results to what I would get using Google
* Rewarding: I earn Swagbucks often enough just by using it as my search engine that it feels rewarding.
* Big Wins: I often win more than a single point, my biggest one-time win was 5 points – very rewarding. There are also free codes given out often. Read their blog to catch them while they’re valid.
* Referrals are Easy: Anyone can refer their friends to use Swagbucks and earn their points faster
* $5 Amazon.com Gift Cards: It’s been easy for me to select and redeem my reward of choice when I have earned 450 points. You can redeem a maximum of two rewards per day.
* Not Annoying: Some websites simply annoy me because of the way they are designed or the ads they display. Swagbucks is not an annoying site and it’s quite user-friendly.

The biggest reason why I’m a fan of Swagbucks? I’m earning gift cards by doing something I’d normally do on the web – using a search engine. It doesn’t require any extra email. I’ve just bookmarked Swagbucks.com so that I can get there easily anytime I want to search for something. They also have toolbars that you can download so that it becomes part of your internet browser (and you earn 1 Swagbuck every day you have the toolbar). I hope that it becomes a great resource for you to earn some gift cards just by searching the web!

4 Tips to Earn More Swagbucks

Are you earning free gift card just by using Swagbucks as your search engine (instead of Google or something else)? If you are new to Swagbucks read why I use and recommend Swagbucks as your search engine. Here are my 4 top tips to help you earn more Swagbucks to get your next free gift card faster!

Earn More Swagbucks

1. Use the Toolbar, Use It Frequently
You can’t earn Swagbucks unless you use Swagbucks to search. The easiest way to remember to use it is to have it in front of your face, at the top of your web browser. Just visit the “Toolbars” tab to download a toolbar or plugin.

2. Search for Your Website, Don’t Browse
Instead of typing in “Amazon.com” into your web browser, use the Swagbucks Toolbar and search for “Amazon”. So just leave off the “.com” part. Pay attention to make sure you are headed to the right website (the full url is displayed below the search result in green text) and you can look for “Official Site” text by the name of the site. But don’t search repeatedly for the same term – that would violate the official rules (thanks for leaving a comment, Kaymore).

3. Pay Attention When You Win (Word Verify Your Wins)
That’s because on a random basis they will ask you to complete a word verification. If you “search & win” but don’t complete the word verification in time then you lose those Swagbucks. Believe me – it’s happened to me because I clicked on another tab before waiting to see if I won. Don’t let it happen to you – one of my readers commented and said you have 3 minutes to enter the word verification.

4. Win When Your Friends Win
Referrals are the key to earning more Swagbucks. So tell everyone you know – in conversation, by email, on Facebook, on Twitter. My first impression of Swagbucks was “this can’t be real, maybe those gift card prizes are real – but surely it takes forever to earn them”. Well – the gift cards are indeed real, and if you use Swagbucks on a regular basis and refer your friends you can redeem your Swagbucks for the gift cards you want faster than you would guess. So now I tell everyone I know about it.

I know there are a lot more tips on how to earn more, and feel free to share what you are doing to earn more by leaving a comment! If you wrote a post about it on your blog, feel free to leave a link to your blog!
