Also, about once a week Swagbucks will send out a message saying Money Maker on it, offering 5 SB's for simply clicking on the message. This works. Super easy.
Enter a swag code by clicking on your points in the upper right corner of the home page, then on Redeem Swag Code. The Swagbucks program is a super easy way to earn a bit of money. It provides "Bucks" for searches, entering special SwagCodes, doing a daily one question survey (often fun), shopping (a pretty good shopping portal), referring others, interacting on Swagbuck's Facebook page, commenting on Swagbucks's blog, and other stuff. Bucks can be redeemed for a very large selection of gift cards and other goodies.
