Swagbucks, a hugely popular search and win site, is turning two years old this week! They’re doing tons of giveaways via the blog, Twitter, and Facebook – check those areas frequently for your chance to win big. (The other day I got two free Swagbucks just from one of their Tweets!)
If you’re new to Swagbucks and don’t know what the fuss is about, here’s the scoop: Swagbucks is a search engine that rewards you for using it! It uses results from Google and Ask.com, and when you randomly perform searches, you’ll earn points that can be redeemed for a variety of prizes! Many people’s favorite is the $5 Amazon.com
There are quite a few other ways to earn Swagbucks – check out my Top 5 Ways to Earn Swagbucks for details on how to rack up those points and win prizes!
Well, wait a sec – the $5 Amazon gift card is now 450 points… Ack, what?! But the good news is that your points have also been multiplied by ten as well! If you had 5 bucks in your account yesterday, today there will be 50. They say everything’s been adjusted proportionately, the prizes don’t “cost” more because your bucks have been multipled by the same amount, too. They said they’ll be able to “award bucks to users in ways that were not before imaginable”, so stay tuned – I’m excited to see what they have up their sleeve!
If you’re ready to start seaching and winning, you can get sixty Swagbucks just for signing up! Sign up on Swagbucks.com and enter code SPRINGBARGAINS and your account will automatically be credited with sixty, before you perform searches or anything else! That’s automatically 13% of the Swag Bucks you need for a $5 Amazon.com
Happy birthday, Swag Bucks! Here’s hoping Springs Bargains readers win some awesome amounts of points in celebration of your birthday! I’d love to hear if you do.
I just signed up but when entering the springsbargains code it tells me to “enter a valid code”. I have even copied and pasted it but still no go….
Stefani, did you enter the code on the signup page? It’s not a regular swag code, it has to be entered on the signup page.
I did but got that error. I did not try copying and pasting until I had completed the signup though so I may have done lowercase. Oh well, thanks though!
Stefani, here’s a visual of where to enter the code: http://springsbargains.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/swagbucks-sign-up-code.png
I was wondering why all of a sudden I got so many points. :) Thanks for the info!
I am on the signup page and keep getting the save error. I have tried upper and lower case, neither works! I’ll await to hear from you before signing up.
I am having the same problem. Tried both lower and uppercase letters on the page, but I keep getting a message to enter a valid code.
Oh brother. Swagbucks did SPRINGBARGAINS instead of Springs with an s. Try SPRINGBARGAINS. Sorry, guys.
Ahhh.. I didn’t understand what you were talking about when I read about the point change. Now I get it! Sorry I’m so slow! :)
