Mega Swagbucks Friday is here! That means all day long you can earn anywhere between 100 and 1000 Swagbucks just for searching the internet! You’ll earn your Swagbucks today in denominations of 100, 200, 500, or 1,000.
What are Swagbucks and how do you earn them?
Swagbucks is a form of “internet currency” that you earn by simply searching the web and participating in surverys and offers (if you choose to). You can then redeem your Swagbucks for prizes such as paypal cash, amazon credit, starbucks gift cards, etc. Trust me when I say – you should SIGN UP! Swagbucks almost paid for our entire Christmas last year, and a couple of years back I was able to get a FREE iPhone by saving up my Swagbucks to redeem for a Apple Store gift card.
How and when should I spend them?
I do suggest you treat your Swagbucks like you would your budget, make the most of every buck and spend them wisely! With that said, I asked Mr. Frugal to help me figure out just which deals (out of my top 5 favorites) had the best bang for their buck. Basically, what should I save up for first and in what order should I buy them?
He came up with the following chart…
| $5 Amazon.com credit | 450 Swagbucks | $1 value = 90 swagbucks |
| $20 Target.com Gift Card | 2350 Swagbucks | $1 value = 117.5 Swagbucks |
| $50 Amazon.com credit | 5900 Swagbucks | $1 value = 118 Swagbucks |
| $10 Starbucks Gift Card | 1300 Swagbucks | $1 value = 130 Swagbucks |
| $5 Paypal credit | 700 Swagbucks | $1 value = 140 Swagbucks |

Just a reminder, this freebie is still going! Mr. Frugal and I just signed up for this completely FREE credit score/report last week and I wanted to mention it because it’s one of the ONLY completely FREE credit reports out there. You’ll have the details in just minutes and you never have to put in a credit card # and there is nothing to cancel. Instant gratification that’s good for your finances, head on over here for your report.
With taxes behind us and house hunting in full swing we decided it was time for our annual credit check (it’s good to keep up on your credit score to make sure there are no surprises, credit theft, etc). We’ve used several different companies in the past, usually having to cancel a service after 30 days so we don’t get charged. This year, we found Credit Sesame, and we couldn’t be happier.
This isn’t a full blown report, but it’s a great start to see where you’re at with absolutely zero obligation.
