What is Swagbucks?
Swagbucks is the premier loyalty program on the web. You are rewarded with “Swag Bucks”, a currency which is a little like credit card loyalty points. Through their online loyalty programs, you can earn Swag Bucks for activities that you already do online every day. Members love Swagbucks because they can work from home, all the while earning more Swag Bucks.
After signing up, you are rewarded for answering surveys, playing games, watching videos, discovering offers, and searching the web (all of which you probably do anyway!). Additionally, they reward online shopping. With great online coupons, you can get double swag bucks for the purchases you make from your favorite online shopping sites.
They offer Rewards with no strings attached when redeeming your Swag Bucks. They have a wide variety of Rewards available in the Rewards Store. A lot are focused towards the US market, but there are plentiful options for UK users as well. For example, their most popular Reward is a free Amazon gift card, which can be earned and redeemed in GBP.

I love Swagbucks. For the past two years I have used it to almost completely pay for Christmas presents…no more putting presents on charge cards because I have no money!
