Catherine (Swag Name: FrugalFreebies) is from Ontario, Canada, and has been a Swagbucks member since August 2009.

Here is what she has to say about her Swagbucks Rewarding Moment:

I first found out about Swagbucks in August 2009. I can't recall how I learned about it after all these years, but I do know I signed up immediately when I found out about it!

I love that I was there almost from the beginning! I was always looking for ways to cut costs as a single mom, and knew I wanted to share this great way to earn extra money online with my Frugal Freebies followers.

My favourite way to earn is through referrals - I have referred 1,260 friends to join, and 1,260 have signed up!

Having earned 399,432 SB so far, I have redeemed my SB for mostly Amazon gift cards to enable me to buy great gifts for my family and pets, and occasionally PayPal, to help pay bills.

If you're looking for a way to earn a little extra for your budget, taking Surveys on Swagbucks can be great!

It's effortless: You sign up, confirm your email address, and then use the Survey Dashboard to see current surveys.

You'll see approximately how long each survey takes to complete and how many SB points you'll earn when you complete it.

You can rack up lots of SB points quickly and then redeem them for free gift cards to places like Amazon, Starbucks, and PayPal!

You can fill out a survey profile and then answer additional questions to help Swagbucks deliver surveys you're more likely to complete.

You get 2 SB for every 10 questions you answer!

For even more SB opportunities, click the Peanut Labs surveys tab and select one of these survey options.

You can also download the Swagbucks app for iOS and Android and take surveys from your phone, no matter where you are!

Swagbucks actually works - this month I bought $75 worth of items on Amazon with my free Amazon gift cards, and when I checked today, I have enough for another $25 to spend!!

Let's Get Started!!

At the end of every month, it's time to cash in my SBs - this month I made enough for three $25.00 Amazon gift cards - so it really does work!

I've ordered and received the gift card codes in a couple of days, and included a picture below so you can see!

Now I can take those $25.00 gift cards to Amazon, and stack them - so I have $75.00 off my next order. I haven't decided what I want to order yet, so I am going to hang onto these gift cards until I am ready to shop for free!

So how did I do it, you ask? Well, first I signed up of course!

Then I made the SwagBucks search page my home page, and used it every time I needed to search for something. Rather than go to a web page I regularly checked, I would put the URL in the SwagBucks search bar and search for it first. And sometimes I just put in search words for the fun of it! And I have won lots of SBs that way!

Next I downloaded and installed the SwagBucks SwagButton - it works in Mozilla Firefox. Then every day the SwagButton automatically notifies me if the website I am visiting offers cash back for shopping, if it has any relevant coupons, and gives me Swag code alerts!

 From the SwagButton, I can earn SBs while searching the web or watching videos from all my favorite categories like Entertainment, Fitness, Food, News, and Sports. And get real-time alerts about new earning opportunities!

Every day I look for the Swag Codes to be available and quickly searched for them - I think I found most of them - though I I sometimes miss the ones posted late at night. Anyone else get the late night ones?

Every day I earn SBs for clicking thru the ToDo List, and you can do this every single day to earn SBs!

Here's a picture of my three free Amazon cards order. Have you signed up yet??


If you aren't using Swagbucks (and may I ask why you don't want free money?), here is a helpful recap:

Swagbucks.com is an online portal dedicated to helping you earn digital dollars called SBs, which can be redeemed for exclusive merchandise, gift cards and other prizes. It is a search engine powered by Google and Ask.com.

The important difference is whenever you search on the Swagbucks search engine, you have the chance to win SBs you can turn in for prizes and gift cards. You can easily earn enough points to get a $5 Amazon gift card or more every month - if you use it to do your usual searches!

Swagbucks.com is the only place on the web where you can get FREE gift cards - simply by doing the things you do anyway, every day!

Here are a few tips to help build up your SBs:

1. Search on Friday. It is good to do a search every day, but Friday is Mega Swagbucks Day! That means, your chances of winning the higher value Mega Bills are even higher. You could win up to 100 SBs in a single search!

2. Get a SwagButton, Stay Connected and Win More. The quickest way to win SBs is to have Swagbucks.com always at your finger tips. The Swagbucks.com SwagButton resides on the top of your browser, and only takes seconds to install.

The Swagbucks toolbar is just like a Yahoo or Google toolbar, and makes it more convenient to seach, eliminating your need to visit the Swagbucks website. You will also occasionally get SwagCodes via the toolbar! Check the little message icon on the toolbar every day because Swag Codes are only good for a few hours.

3. Tell your Friends. If you are loving Swagbucks, then you are probably telling your friends already, so why not get some Free SBs for it? The quickest way to win SBs is to get a little help from your friends! Invite your friends to Swagbucks.com and every SB they win searching the web, you'll win as well!

Go to the Swagbucks home page and click Promote at the top. You will be able to email your friends, post a banner or widget on your website or blog, or connect with your Facebook account. When your friend signs up using your unique referral link, you earn SBs every time your friend wins SBs. Double bonus!

4. Modify your Search. If I do a search and don't win a Swagbuck, I will often change my search term slightly to see if I can win.

Example: I search for freebies and win nothing, so I add the word Canadian to make it Canadian freebies or Freebies Canadian (either way) and search again. For some reason, I usually win some SBs by doing this!

5. Search for Images or Video. This works about the same as modifying your search (above). After you search Canadian freebies or US freebies and don't win, click on Images or Video at the top of the page to see if you can win some SBs that way.

6. Search Daily. This might seem obvious, yet it is the one some people always forget! Searching daily builds SBs faster than any other method.

Those 10-20 SBs per day add up quickly! If you can't think of anything to search for, search for something you already know. For example, instead of typing Frugal-Freebies.com in your address bar to come to my site, you could type it in on Swagbucks. You will still get to my site, just with a small detour and a chance to win a few SBs!

7. Want SBs quickly? Complete A Special Offer! Got your eye on something special in the Swag Store? If you're saving up SBs but could use a little help, check out their Discover Page. You'll find rewarding promotions from major brands. Sign up only for the offers that sound right for you!

8. Do you shop online? Visit the Shop and Earn mall before you buy. Odds are they have the brands you're already looking for, and they will give you SBs for every dollar you spend when you make your purchase through SwagBucks.com! You will also find 100s of coupons listed there.

9. Earn SBs and Reduce Your Carbon Footprint. Got a new phone in the last few years? Then send in your old cell phone and they will reward you in SB. Replace your old dust-collecting cellular with an exclusive swagbucks.com prize! There's no limit to how many phones you can recycle!

10. Interact With The Polls. Their daily polls page features topics and questions that matter to you! From popular culture; news, and entertainment, the Polls page is consistently fresh, and always fun. Plus, if you submit a poll and they happen to use it, they will award you with up to 10 SBs!

11. Receive The Newsletter - Get all the most important updates delivered directly to your inbox with the monthly newsletter. Every email is packed with important news and tidbits to help you get more out of your SwagBucks account.

12. Read the Blog - When big news breaks about SwagBucks, it happens first on the SBs Blog! Find out about all the newest offers, prizes, and Swag Codes, all in one convenient location. Look for posts by The Swag Guy for exclusive SB opportunities!

So have you signed up yet??

NOTE - When searching the web, the best way to win SBs (and the only method we endorse) is to use the engine for genuine search and discovery. Doing a ton of searches, or clicking on search results, will not increase your chances of winning in any way.

According to a recent survey of Swagbucks members, over 30% weren't afraid of no ghosts and would be willing to pursue a career as a Ghostbuster!

Pretty surprising though, considering all the positive press Ghostbusting has been getting in preparation for Ghostbusters debut in theaters July 15th.

However, the real costs of bustin' may put it outside of their price range even if you save on movie tickets with a Cineplex Gift Card...




Jumpsuit – $29.99
– The most affordable part of Ghostbusting, even if you shelled out a little extra for patches and name tags. [ Ghostbuster Jumpsuit ]




Startup Fees – Approx. $2,000
– Starting a new business is never cheap. The Ghostbusters operate out of The Big Apple, one of America's most expensive cities. [ Business Start-ups Books ]



Custom Hearse – $7,000
– The new Ghostbusters are rolling in style with a custom 1980s Cadillac Hearse. You'll have to spend extra for all the bells and whistles. [ Ghostbuster Hearse ]

Firehouse Rental – $910,600

– You can't be a true Ghostbuster with no Head Quarters! Unfortunately, leasing costs are pretty high in Tribeca, where the building from the 1984 film still stands. [ Ghostbuster Firehouse ]



Proton Pack $20,000,000
– Those hefty backpacks worn by the Ghostbusters are basically unlicensed nuclear accelerators, and those do not come cheap. Might be time to take out a small business loan. [ Ghostbuster Proton Pack ]




Master Containment Unit – $14,000,000,000
– The closest you'll get to a working model is ITER, an international large-scale science experiment to build a fusion generator. While it'd be strong enough to hold a ghost, it'll also do quite a number on your bank account. [ Ghostbuster Master Containment Unit ]




Proton Wand and Muon Trap – $125,000,000,000,000
– Ignoring the fact stable antimatter doesn't exist in our universe, the price of antimatter is $62,500,000,000,000 per gram, and we're guessing it'd take more than 2 grams of antimatter to catch and hold a ghost indefinitely. [ Ghostbuster Proton Wand and Muon Trap ]


Total Cost = $125,014,020,919,629.99
Now that's expensive! I don't want to slime all of your hopes and dreams, but I think it's safe to say you would be better off sticking with your day job.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't stop dreaming, and what better way to dream of Ghostbusting then enjoying a night at the movies with a Cineplex Gift Card.
