Swagbucks

There are quit a few online rewards site on the internet, and prior to using Swagbucks I had exactly zero interest in using any of them. They all seemed very gimmicky and annoying. However, I was nursing Mary one afternoon and reading a blog post about a mom who uses the Swagbucks website to earn herself one $5 Starbucks a month. My tired-mother-of-two-children-ears really liked the sound of that. So I got a wild hair and decided to give it a try.

I'll cut right to the chase: I've been collecting rewards since the middle of August and am days away from cashing in on a $25 Starbucks card! You can choose from 100s of gift cards, but I only have eyes for free coffee right now.

There are many ways to earn points on Swagbucks, but I use only two: the search function, and online shopping. I've installed the Swagbucks search bar on my browser, so each time I search the internet I might be rewarded with varying amount of Swagbucks. Searching the internet is something I already do on the regular, thanks to having two small children and constantly needing to find answers to things I have no knowledge of. I shop online by visiting the Swagbucks site first and then traveling over to the site where I will do my shopping. I get rewarded with Swagbucks for spending money online that I was already planning on spending. And then sometimes if I'm on hold on the phone and super bored, I'll do the daily poll on the Swagbucks site and try to earn a few extra points while I wait.

That's it, though. Search and shop. And now I get to enjoy free money to Starbucks. It's a known fact that coffee tastes better when it's free.

I'm telling you about this because someone told me about it, and I'm glad they did. Because free coffee. 

This is my referral link: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/shansen212. If you sign up using that link, I'll earn 10% of any points you earn. Yay me, right? But also, yay you. Because you'll be well on your way to earning your own free coffee, and then you can boast to your friends about your free coffee and they can sign up and then you'll be busy earning free coffee and 10% of their points, too. Win-win!
