I just want to remind you that today is Mega Swagbucks Friday, which means you may be able to score more Swagbucks than normal just by searching the web, something we all do on a regular basis! If you’re a new member, you’ll start off with 30 Swagbucks just for signing up!

As I mentioned last week, through March 31st, you can now get 3X the Swag Bucks for your Walmart purchase (that’s 6 SB for every dollar spent!). See the Walmart page on Shop & Earn for all the special terms. In addition, Swagbucks is offering a rebate: Snag a $5 Walmart Gift Card in the Rewards Store and make an eligible purchase at Walmart via Shop & Earn by Mar 31st, and they’ll give you a 50 SB rebate. Note that this rebate is not automatic – the 50 SB will be credited to your account on April 7th. Even sweeter, Walmart Gift Cards from the Rewards Store can be used to purchase items via Shop & Earn — and you WILL receive the 3X SB back even if the Walmart purchase was paid via gift card. Awesome!

One easy way to earn daily Swag Bucks is by checking your personal Swagbucks Inbox (just look for the envelope icon on the right hand side of the menu bar like the picture above). Your Inbox will often contain unique survey and offer opportunities to earn various amounts of Swag Bucks. Plus, you’ll occasionally receive alerts about Swagstakes, contests, videos and more. Be sure to check it at least once a day as some messages will expire.

Also, Swagbucks made some improvements to their homepage at the end of last month which should make it easier for you to earn and redeem Swag Bucks! First, the top navigation bar is now home to the Swag Code box – access it by clicking the round button – which means you can redeem your codes anytime, anywhere.

The homepage has now been broken up into three “channels”: On the left is the Accomplishment Channel, where you can check on your Daily Goal Meter, Daily Earning Checklist and connect with Swagbucks on Social Media. The Earning Channel is in the center of the screen and is all about ways that you can earn, from the Search box at the top to the Earning Feed filled with offers, surveys and shopping deals. And when you’re ready to get your rewards, you can use the Rewards Channel on the right – at the top is a Local Deal (where available) and below that are the top 5 items in the Rewards Store – you can snag them right there, or if you don’t have the Swag Bucks it’ll tell you how many more you need to get it.

Here are a few ways to earn Swag Bucks…

* Searching the web
If yours is a winning search, you will see a “Congratulations” screen featuring your Swag Bucks award immediately above your search results; you will never be directed away from your search. You can win multiple Swag Bucks every day; Swag Bucks can be won in denominations ranging from 1 – 1,000.

* Taking Surveys
Each survey that you chose to engage with may have a different Swag Bucks payout. Completing “deeper profiles” helps Swag Bucks alert you only to surveys for which you qualify and typically enables you to complete more targeted surveys which have significantly higher Swag Bucks payouts. Snag 1 Swag Buck per day just for heading over to the Survey page!

* Voting in Daily Polls
Snag 1 Swag Buck per day for voting in the daily poll.

* Watching videos
Swag Bucks are awarded randomly via Swag Bucks TV. Not every video you watch will earn you Swag Bucks, but just like Swag Bucks search, every video you watch is a chance to earn.

* Completing Special Offers
To ensure that an offer has been completed, follow the instructions provided for each individual offer. The offer needs be completed in the same session and all information required to complete the offer MUST be accurate. The majority of offers will credit your Swag Bucks account within 20 minutes. However, the estimated wait time varies from offer to offer. Some may take a few hours or a couple of days before final confirmation is received.

*Playing Games
Swagbucks recently released FREE Swagbucks Games… find a game you like, play for free AND you’ll be eligible to earn bonus Swag Bucks just for playing!! There are two ways to be rewarded for playing games (1) Play games for free and you will randomly earn from 1-5 Swag Bucks (2) Buy into tournaments where you risk a small amount of Swag Bucks for the chance to earn a large amount. Just login or register and click on the “Earn” tab, then in the drop down menu choose “Games”.

* Finding Swag Codes
Swag Codes are strings of alphanumeric text that you can apply for instant Swag Bucks. Swag Codes can appear anywhere, and at any time, throughout the Swag Bucks network including the Swagbucks newsletter, any Swag Bucks powered Search&Win Site; the Official Swag Bucks blog, Facebook Fan Page, Twitter page, Flickr page; and affiliated partner sites. Swag Codes can be redeemed by entering the codes into the Swag Codes box on your My Account page.

How can I use my Swagbucks or what can I purchase?

Swag Bucks can be used to purchase apparel, kitchen items, electronics, gift cards and lots more in the Swag Store! My personal favorite rewards item is a $5 Amazon e-Card for only 450 Swag Bucks! Plus, for the month of September every time you snag an Amazon Gift Card from the Swag Store, you get a bonus $1 Amazon MP3 Promotional Credit (credit valid through October 31st). Sweet!

Other rewards include gift cards to Chili’s, Starbucks (another favorite!), Lowes, Target, Kmart, CVS, Red Robin, Dell, Lands’ End, and many more!

Happy Searching!
