You can get paid to search online... Or at least get free gift cards for searching the internet! And you get 3 "bucks" just to sign up

Update 3/09: We have personally made enough money to buy a laptop FREE on Amazon, and are earning more free Amazon gift cards each week!

It's true! You can now search the internet and get free gift cards and prizes just for searching online. Check out Swagbucks! You get 3 "swag bucks" just to sign up!

You can get free gift cards from places like Amazon, Target, Starbucks, Barnes and Noble, Subway, and Macy's, just to name a few! You earn "swagbucks" by doing your regular internet searches.... (the same searches you do every day when looking for stuff online) and then redeem them for free gift cards. As an example, 45 swag bucks = $5 Amazon gift card.

The best part is Swagbucks uses Google and Ask.com for searches.... so you're basically getting paid to search on Google. It doesn't get much better than that my friends! Woot!! Free Amazon gift cards!! Free Starbucks!! Woot! :)

PLEASE NOTE: You should also know that at this time (January 2009), all searches on Swagbucks are UNFILTERED. Swagbucks has told me they will be implementing a "safe search" / filtered search option soon, but this has not yet occurred. So again, all searches on Swagbucks are UNFILTERED. Keep this in mind when signing up, especially if you have children in your house.

Start earning your free gift cards today at Swagbucks!

BTW, if you like free money, you might want to check out all our posts about free money stuff and online paid surveys. Enjoy!

    Have you been personally paid by this company?

    We have completed enough searches to cash out for a $5 gift card. Haven't got it yet, but I think it takes a couple weeks before they send them out.

    Ok, post when you get it please.

    We received an Amazon gift card today. It took less than a week this time.

    I should also mention that they combined two gift card payments we had into one "grand total". (I submitted 2 Amazon gift card requests within a few days of each other.) So the one request took only a few days. And I've already entered the code in our Amazon account, and yes, it was legit.

    Is there a method to get more bucks faster? Thanks!

    @Anonymous - Use swagbucks as your regular search engine, invite your friends to use swagbucks, and then track the swagcodes with us to get more free money. To see what a swagcode is and how to use it, read our article here

    Good luck!

    Do you have to supply your social security number? I worry about identify theft...

    She Knits - no SSN is required to sign up or to redeem prizes. The form you fill out to sign up is very simple. You can see it here
