I absolutely love innovation! Back in the day, surfing the web was just a nonchalant way to simply find information. Nothing really to woo hoot about. Being paid to surf the web in “yester years” was unheard of. Nobody was earning squat and that’s for darn sure. lol The satisfaction of getting the best search results were basically it. But thank goodness Swag Bucks came along and forever changed the boring, non-rewarding daily search routine!
What is Swag Bucks? That’s the best question of the day so far. I’m so glad you asked and even more glad to provide an exceptional answer in my review …
Swag Bucks is a “Hot & Happenin’” search engine, that pays! Now please don’t think you will be able to getcha swag on in the sassy, classy way that I do. Every member has to do it in his/her own way, but rest assured you will easily earn some nice free “bucks” and prizes doing yo Swag Bucks thang. Personalize it to do you! With Swag Bucks you’ll want to make EVERY search count because you never know which search will be a Swag Buck reward. Swag “bucks” randomly come in a variety of amounts. And, there’s so many other ways to earn Swag Bucks, their site is poppin’!. Your bucks can add up pretty quickly too! So let’s go a little more in depth …
How does it work?
- Simply sign up for free and begin doing all your routine web searching via the Swag Buck site. You’ll be thrilled to know the search results are powered by Google and Ask.com so search results are of good quality.
- You’ll earn Swag Bucks randomly while routinely searching the web like you normally would on any other search engine.
- Your Swag Bucks can be redeemed via the Swag Store in a variety of ways (PayPal, apparel & accessories, books, tech gadgets, music, health & beauty, office & school supplies, and the list goes on!) Lots of great stuff for sure.
So that’s pretty much it. Now that was easy. lol
Maximize your earning potential!
Swag Bucks is loaded! Now check this out … not only will you get paid for surfing the web, but in addition, here are other ways to rake in the bucks …

- Get the easy to download tool bar – Each day you log on, that’s an instant “buck”
- Shop ’til ya drop! – Find hundreds of coupons. Shopping categories range from apparel for the whole fam to weddings/parties. Shop right from the Swag Bucks portal
- Go green! – Recycle old cell phones, MP3 players, etc. Trade in old vid games & consoles. Swag Bucks even pays for the shipping!

The pros rule!
What I love about Swag Bucks:
- The ease of use
- So many ways to earn bucks daily … and it just keeps gettin’ better and better!
- Great customer service
- The blog rocks!
- Ease of redeeming bucks into gifts/prizes
Gotta respect the cons …
What annoys me (like a dang mosquito, lol) about Swag Bucks:
- Credit for Random Searches Only – Unfortunately, Swag Bucks does NOT credit for every search. The system works randomly. I know, I know … it would be great if members were rewarded for EVERY search. lol
- Limited Membership Availability – Swag Bucks is not currently open to countries outside the US. Bummer! I believe in offering something good for everyone.
- Referral Cap – For you super referral peeps out there, Swag Bucks does have a 100 referral limit cap on the program.
- Extensive Wait on PayPal Cash Out Credit – To cash out the minimum $5 takes an annoying 10-15 days which seems like an eternity! I’m used to other programs like MySurvey crediting my PayPal account in 2-5 days. Call me spoiled I guess. lol
- No iTunes Instant eCredit – If you’re a huge iTunes fan as I am, and plan to use Swag Bucks on iTunes credit as I do … no doubt you can appreciate instant iTunes credit rather than waiting on a snail mailed gift card.
- There may be other annoying thingies about the program but hey, I’m not knit picky or maybe it’s just that I’ve not come across anything further yet. But when you join and if you experience something that bugs you, please feel free to share below.
Who can join?
Currently, Swag Bucks accepts free memberships from the US only. Sorry rest of world, I wish you all were included as well. If it were my program, you’d be in! Swag Bucks is definitely moving forward. With that thought in mind, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it’s on their upper agenda to add more countries. We can always hope.
Swag Bucks definitely pays! ~ See Proof …
Now you know my review wouldn’t be complete without payment proof. I ain’t mad atcha for needing to see it. lol Redeeming my Swag Bucks for the Amazon gift card was streamlined and done in a snap! Take a look-see here:

Be sure to immediately load your giftcard reward to Amazon account!
As explained in my proof of payment vid, the Amazon gift cards do have an expiration date!!!! So what you’ll need to do after converting points into the gift card on the Swag Bucks site is to immediately load the gift card onto your Amazon.com account. There’s no worry of it expiring and it’s there when you want to spend it towards your next Amazon.com purchase. Oops! Sorry for not pointing that out in my vid.
Would I recommend Swag Bucks?
You betcha! The program is “hot & happenin”, lots of fun, easy to use, has oh so many ways of earning “bucks”, and they PAY!! So what are you waiting for? Go and getcha’ swag on!
