Swagbucks has to be one of my FAVORITE ways to earn “FREE” gift cards toward places like Amazon, Target, Overstock, and more. By simply searching the web (as I would already do) I am rewarded with Swag Bucks to put toward items I want.

What Is Swagbucks?

First, it is EASY and FREE to join Swagbucks. Consider it like a “frequent flyer” program for surfing the web. With components like email, Facebook, Twitter, and more, most of us tend to be on the internet at some point in the day. The easiest place to run is Google.com to find URL or links to places we need to go. Instead I use Swagbucks.com to earn Swag Bucks. Note: When you join, you get 30 instant Swag Bucks.

How Do You Earn?

The easiest way to earn Swag Bucks is to download the tool bar to your browser. This allows you to search online without having to go directly to Swagbucks.com. The tool bar also gives you exclusive messages and Swag Codes.You can also win by entering polls, submitting codes, surveys, etc.

What Can you “Win?”

When you accumulate enough Swag Bucks, there are endless things for which to trade in your bucks. Everything from sports memorabilia, to kids toys, jewelry, and my favorite $5 Amazon Gift Cards (450 Swag Bucks). This offsets my online shopping at my favorite site – Amazon!

With the concept Search, Earn, Redeem – it really doesn’t cost you anything extra to get FREE stuff while searching the web (you were doing that anyways.)

Head over to Swagbucks for a look!

Some of you may be like me, you have a hard time placing a stamp and writing an address on an envelope to celebrate a birthday/holiday or some other occasion. I am ashamed to admit that my daughter’s birth announcements went out in the same envelope as our 2010 Christmas cards (she was born in 2009!) At least they got out, right?

While looking for alternative Valentine ideas, I came across American Greetings – a site perfect for sending eCards. They are cute, have many options and are VERY easy to do.  Right now you can get a FREE 7-day trial! You do need to cancel or your are charged for a subscription, but I found the prices to be very reasonable. One month is $3.99 (or the price of a nice, store card) – plus you can send endless cards a month. If you choose a year subscription it is $19.99 and two years is $29.99 – that comes down to $1.25/month – a HUGE savings compared to store bought cards!

I also checked out Blue Mountain, their one month is only $2.99 and year and two year plans fall the same.

Head to Blue Mountain or American Greetings to start your trail. Mark down in TWO PLACES to cancel your trial in 6-days if you decide not to keep. I write it on my wall calendar and also place it on my phone calendar. When you sign up, at least sign up for one month. That way if you wanted to cancel and forgot, you are at most charged $3.99.

I bet you could get some nice Valentine cards sent for your entire family!
