Take it from penny pincher me: the best way to save money & stretch your dollar further is by joining Swagbucks. It's free, doesn't interfere with rewards programs you have with other stores, has coupons and special offeres, and gives rewards from shopping you already do -- from groeceries and fast food to household repair, clothing, and every sort of product from major retailers and more independent shops. You'll be surprised how much adds up, especially during holiday shopping season, and then you use those rewards to 'buy' giftcards at no cost. You can even choose to use your Swagbucks to donate to charities!
Until you know the program, skip the games and offers, simply upload your receipts from in person shopping and go thru the portal for online shopping...it will take to you the regular website and keep track of how many reward "Swagbucks or SBs" your order accumulates. You can also earn SBs by doing surveys and completing a daily to do list - dead easy and quick.
The best way to describe Swagbucks is as The Ultimate Rewards Program. Have a quick scroll through particpating vendors - you may have to change country as mine is set to Canada - and if you don't find at least a couple of places you regularly shop, there's some monkey out there calling me uncle. Wouldn't it be nice if the purchases you're already making this holiday season end up earning you gift cards for future occasions? Guaranteed, with times being so tough for everybody, you won't regret signing up for Swagbucks and participating HERE.
Once you've joined, be sure to download the Swag Button so you'll automatically be alerted to what SBs are available at any given store. And when you're really ready to have your mind blown on how to stretch a buck even further, I'll be sharing how buying giftcards to make purchases that can add even more rewards to your wallet.
