Fantastic news – now you can redeem your Swag Bucks for PayPal! Just 80 Swag Bucks will earn you a $5 cash payment sent to your Paypal account.

I recently purchased an Amazon Kindle with GCs that I earned from Swag Bucks, and now I'm planning to start banking them for Christmas shopping. What a great way to start stretching our holiday budgets!

What is Swag Bucks?

Basically it’s a site that allows you to earn great prizes such as iPhones, iPods, concert tickets, gift cards, and more just for using them to search the Internet. For example, an Amazon.com egift card is only 45 Swag Bucks!

Why not get paid for something you’re already doing anyhow? And don’t worry about the quality of the searches – Swag Bucks is powered by Google. Plus, they often offer special Swag Codes for additional points as well, so it’s not hard to rack up enough points to redeem often!

How do I sign up?

It’s super easy! Just go to Swagbucks and register. Plus, Swag Bucks is currently offering a special code that will net new members 5 points when you sign up – 3 points for registering with Swag Bucks plus an additional 2 points when you enter CASHISKING (case sensitive) in the Swag Code box.

(Note: The code is only good for new registrants and expires at midnight PST on 7/6.)

Tips for maximizing your Swag Bucks earnings:

• Download one of the Swag Bucks browser plugins to earn for the searches you normally do.
• Follow @SwagBucks on Twitter for updates on new Swag Codes. (enter these in the left-hand column on your Swag Bucks account page)
• Read the Swag Bucks blog for updates on new features as well as info on Swag Codes.
• Shop through Swag Bucks to earn SB on purchases.
