Swagbucks

Dear Krazy Coupon Lady,

Thank you! 

Love,

Faithfully Frugal



I love the Krazy Coupon Lady (in case that wasn't already obvious). She recently introduced readers to Swagbucks, and I'm anxious to see how it works. 

So far, I've discovered that it's a mindless, easy way to earn a little extra as you browse the web, watch YouTube videos, and shop. You can also opt in to earn points by taking quick polls, surveys and more. When you collect enough Swagbucks, you can trade them in for gift cards! Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, Starbucks... you name it. Just for signing up, creating a profile, and answering some questions, I have already earned 78 Swagbucks toward my first reward.

Check it out here and let me know what you think!

Once you sign up, be sure Swagbucks is your default search engine. Here's how to make that happen:

Firefox:

1. Download the browser extension (http://www.swagbucks.com/extension) then click on the Swagbucks icon on the top right.
2. Click on the Magnifying glass icon on the left-hand side.
3. Click on Change default search engine.

Chrome:

1. Go to the Customize & settings menu on the top right of the browser (3 horizontal lines).
2. Click on Settings menu item. The 4th option should be Search.
3. Click on Manage search engines.
4. Under the Other Search Engines area, scroll down to Swagbucks (alphabetical order).
5. Click on Make Default (when you hover over Swagbucks.com on the list) and then click Done to close the window.
