It’s Mega Swagbucks Friday!

Search & Win

I love Swagbucks, and I love Fridays on Swagbucks even more because it’s “Mega Swagbucks” day which means you can earn Swagbucks in higher amounts. Typically, Swagbucks are awarded in increments of $1, $2, $3, and $5 but on Fridays, they also give away “Mega Swagbucks” that are worth $10, $20, $50, and $100! Whether you’ve just joined or you’ve been slacking off, today is a great day to start searching and earning those bucks!

And…if you haven’t joined yet, it’s a great day, too! Through 9/10/09, you can earn a total of five Swagbucks if you sign up by clicking on the banner above and then entering the code melissacode (it is case sensitive).

If you’re not familiar with Swagbucks, it is a search engine where you earn “bucks” for searching the web. The bucks can then be exchanged for prizes such as gift cards, Paypal money, and merchandise.

If you feel like you’re always missing the Swag codes when they come out and you haven’t downloaded the new toolbar yet, you should definitely check it out here. I love it because I get a message from TSG (AKA “The Swag Guy”) when a new code is out! It also helps me keep tabs on my Swagbucks and lets me know about other great promotions, too.

Happy Swagging!
