Online Rewards-Swagbucks Search Engine

Search & Win


Swagbucks Search Engine: I have posted about this before, but this is a good and easy reward.

I search often and will get them randomly, 1-3 times a day.


They also give out random codes (possible via Twitter, the Swagbucks Facebook page, or on the Swagbucks Blog). You can also check the widget that is currently on the very bottom of this blog, as they also give them out there or will tell you where to go to find a code. Sometimes they expire fast.


If you sign up for Swagbucks here today, you start with 30 swagbucks. I save my 'swagbucks' for Amazon money, but there are other prizes in the Swagstore as well.

(If you sign up, (or have already signed up) make sure and get your extra entry into any of the giveaways-put swagbucks in the extra entry spot)

Online Rewards-Opinion Outpost

Opinion Outpost-Answering surveys online




Opinion Outpost pays out as soon as you reach $5- They pay via check or Amazon money. (Amazon $ is instant, the check takes a few weeks). You can also save your money in your account for as long as you want. Sign up for Opinion Outpost here!

They email out survey opportunities based on your profile. The more profile you fill out, the more likely you are to get surveys. You can sign up for Opinion Outpost here.

A little change to the blog + giveaways

We changed the look to the blog...for now. It is nothing fancy, but hopefully, it is a little easier to read with the white background.

With the changes, we thought we would do a few giveaways AND introduce a few websites that are rewarding (paypal, amazon.com gift cards, other gift cards) and only take a few minutes sitting at the computer. This week, I will introduce a few that I have ventured into. All of them are FREE, you can change your subscritions or cancel at any time.


I have a separate email address for the extra stuff...that way, I can check it whenever and let it get full without missing too much.
Have a good week!

For any of the giveaways, you get an extra entry if you have ever shared a deal or giveaway. Make sure you put what deal you shared in the extra entry spot this week. (Abbie, Tricia, Kristi, Raylene, Heather, Suzette...)
Giveaways will end next Monday.
