Remember Friday is 'Mega Swagbucks' day! Remember to sign up for 30 free bucks!

Repost! Seriously - this is such an easy way to add just a little more into your budget!  No spam, no extra work - just a few free gift cards (or other swag!) - easy peasy! 

Swagbucks is one of the only internet 'freebie' programs I endorse, and if you haven't already checked it out, read my MUCH LONGER entry on them on this blog.  If you are already signed up remember that Friday is MEGA SWAGBUCKS day.  You really should use Swagbucks for your searches everyday to 'win' points, but Friday's are the BEST - they are far more generous with their wins and the amount you can win each time - 100 in one hit sometimes! NICE!  Sign up here on my blog to get started if you haven't already, they will start you off with 30 FREE bonus sign up bucks!
Click Here To Get Started!


Click the link if you want to sign up & start earning today. You won't get rich, but you will earn free gift cards & prizes for what you do anyway!

I'm saving the gift cards I earn on Swagbucks to use for 'free' Christmas - imagine that?!

Double 'bucks' on Swagbucks through Monday night!

I know several of my readers have signed up for Swagbucks already - just in case you didn't see, they have a promotion going on right now where you can earn double bucks for many different buck earning tasks.

Check out Special Offers and Daily Polls - both in the left hand column - one quick question will normally earn you a 'buck' - until 11:59pm on Monday you will get 2 bucks!  I know this is not a lot, but it all adds up and you can add it up every day!

Check out the Swagbucks homepage for details on other ways to earn double bucks!

You also have the opportunity to win a bonus 100 bucks just from searching!! The more you use Swagbucks as your search engine the better the chances!

I know we get new readers everyday and I don't want to bombard everyone with Swagbucks info all the time - but it really is so easy! You can earn a few free gift cards a month very easily (even if you do not have a blog to refer people!) I absolutely love the Amazon, Starbucks, Target, and Disney Store gift cards myself!  But there are many more choices available too!  Last year they had several gift cards on 'sale' just in time for the holidays! 

Swagbucks is free to join and there is absolutely no spam.  They make it easy to share via facebook and email if you choose, and you can earn when your friends earn.  It is  the only search engine I use!!

Not a member yet?  Sign up for Swagbucks today and you will start out with 30 FREE Swagbucks!  Simply use it for your searches to start - you'll watch the points climb - check out the Swagstore = tons of free choices!

Enjoy ~ Kate

Use Swagbucks to save for the holidays! Start Now!

Do you have a Christmas / holiday 'envelope' in your budget?  No? Well that is a problem because you are probably going to spend some money.  This is literally the first year in our marriage that we have had money go into the bank specifically earmarked for holiday spending.  I highly suggest it.  Since we have a finite amount we are willing to spend I make that amount go further with LOTS of online incentive programs.  My favorite is Swagbucks.

I use the Swagbucks search engine instead of Google/ Yahoo/ Bing - etc because Swagbucks rewards me for using their search engine.  I randomly win 'swagbucks' - those swagbucks add up and I can buy LOTS of things in the 'Swagstore' with them.

I personally LOVE the Starbucks, Amazon and Paypal gift cards.  These gift cards do not expire, you can combine them, there is no minimum purchase amount  - you can even use them for shipping (it is a true gift card).  They also have gift cards to The Disney Store, Target, Southwest, and many others.  You can also use your swagbucks to purchase everything from books and magazines to clothes and school supplies!

It is so simple - sign up HERE to get started- they will start you out with 30 'bucks'.  Make Swagbucks your homepage & search with it every time - you will get comparable results as with Google but you will get a little something extra.

They of course have a referral program - once you see how it works - invite your friends & you will earn points when they earn points! You can earn up to 1000 'bucks' with every referral!

I promise they do NOT spam, it is totally legit! You will NOT get rich, but start earning now and you will easily have several free gift cards waiting to help stretch your holiday budget when December rolls around or to use right away!

Check out the site and you will see there are lots of additional ways to earn 'bucks' too! When there are FREE codes available I will leave hints on my Facebook page (you are NOT allowed to share the actual code, but you can give hints).  You can also earn by shopping online, trading in recyclables, simply answering the 'Daily Poll', and more! Make sure to enter your birthday and you will automatically be credited 50 bucks on your birthday! Honestly most of mine come from searches. I use Swagbucks instead of a favorites menu - I even use it to come here to San Diego Deals and Steals!

There are TONS of free rewards programs out there - some work - some don't - some spam - some don't.

Swagbucks works, it is cheesy looking, but it is not a scam & you will earn points if you use it.  I highly endorse this program!  I've been using Swagbucks for over a year and I think they are great!

Join Swagbucks TODAY - HERE!

Lots of fun Swagbucks opportunities starting this week!

1. sign up here (you need to sign in thru my referral to use this code or the bonus points will not post)

2. Once you sign up enter the Swagcode SWAGNATION5 (case sensitive - codes area ALWAYS case sensitive) - code will be active from midnight Sunday May 2nd to Friday May 7th at noon!)

viola - 50 FREE swagbucks to start out!

* This week they will be doubling the amount of 'winning moments's awarded throughout the day via searches.  Translation - if you use it for your searches you theoretically will win twice as often this next week, so use it for ALL your searches (I'm STOKED because I search a ton for my blog & usually earn several times a day as it is =))


*If you don't have the toolbar installed yet - make sure you do - it simply makes searching easier.

*On Tuesday Swagbucks will have a daily poll featured that you can earn 'bucks' simply by answering the daily poll - one question - SUPER FAST - gets a buck or two every time!

* remember to check out the 'Special Offers' tab on the right hand column - there are TONS of ways to earn a few bucks there - the BEST in my opinion is the 'View our no obligations offers' at the top - you can scroll through those offers pretty quick & get 1 - 4 free 'bucks' every day - not much but they add up & they take mere seconds.

Any questions about Swagbucks - leave a comment or email me! Seriously - I LOVE them & never get any spam! My favorite rewards are the Starbucks & Amazon gift cards - check out the 'Swag Store' - what will you 'buy'?  Check out my much longer post on Swagbucks - again - NOT a 'get rich quick' thing, but it is a fun little extra for not really any extra work.
