Have I explained Swag Bucks on here before? Mea culpa, I don’t think I have.

Basically, it’s a search engine that gives you rewards for searching the internet; you can redeem the “swagbucks” you earn for prizes like gift cards. You’re searching anyway, might as well get paid for it It’s very easy to register and use, especially if you add the Swag Bucks toolbar to your browser.

I’ve been a member for about a year. While I still return to Google for complicated searches, I use Swag Bucks for most of my searching needs, then redeem my bucks for $5 Amazon gifts cards! (450 swagbucks)

In addition to searching, you can receive swagbucks from entering limited-time codes that can be found from time-to-time on the Swagbucks blog, Swagbucks Facebook, Swagbucks Twitter, and the Swidget:

(Click on “Swag Codes” then “Check if there’s a swag code”)

I don’t have time to check all the sources all the time, so I rely on Coupons and Freebies Mom for alerts about new codes.

The reason for bringing it up is this week has been declared Back-To-School week by Swag Bucks, which is offering a number of opportunities to earn bonus bucks:

If you haven’t joined, you can receive 70 swagbucks credited to your account just for signing up this week! Enter code BackToSchool during the sign-up process (expires Sunday) to receive 40 bonus bucks in addition to the usual 30 awarded to new accounts.

Whether a new or old member, don’t miss the Swag Bucks Extravaganza tomorrow, Thursday – the Swag Bucks team will be releasing at least 5 swag codes!
