Mega-Swagbucks Friday!

Last day for our giveaway!  Snag an extra chance to win in honor of the birth of my new baby!   He is 4 days old and has nearly gotten back to his birth weight already!  I may have a chunky monkey on my hands!  He gained even though he, too, had the stomach virus that we've all had this week.






Today is Mega-Swagbucks Friday! Each Friday, you can win $10, $20, $30, $50, $100, $200, or even $500 Swagbucks just for searching the internet! Make sure you aren't just frivolously searching as this can cause your account to be canceled.


What is Swagbucks? Swagbucks is a google-powered search engine that pays users back a percentage of advertiser income in "swagbucks." These "bucks" can be redeemed for great prizes. I always get the $5 Amazon gift card since it is the lowest ratio between swagbucks and dollars. Since April 2009, I have received just about $200 in Amazon gift cards! I have one card pending and have enough swagbucks to cash in for another!

How can you earn bucks?

* Web searches through the Swagbucks website, search bar, or toolbar
* Referrals - when a friend signs up under you and wins a buck searching, you win too! You win each time your friends win for their first 100 swagbucks
* Swidget - download the swidget to your blog or facebook page and be alerted to swag codes as they happen!
* Trading in items - Swagbucks accepts all sorts of used items and offers bucks for your items (such as used cell phones, video games, books, and ipods
* Shopping - you can shop through the Swagbucks site and receive bucks as a rebate on your purchases.
* Special Offers - you can complete offers for points or just scroll through the no-obligation special offers section for random points at the end.
* Daily Polls - On the Swagbucks home page, simply click on Daily Polls and vote daily for points!

I apologize for not posting the past few days - I was a little busy HAVING MY SWEET BABY!

I'll be back to a more normal posting schedule soon - there was no internet at the hospital.  We are home now and doing well!

In honor of the occasion, I want to keep the giveaway open through Friday 5/21 at 8pm eastern time since I wasn't around to close the giveaway properly.  You can also gain an EXTRA entry by commenting on the post with something you love about babies!
