Anyone used SwagBucks?

It's not a very consistent way to earn freebies (outside of referals, everything seems to be based on a "random chance" to get picked to then earn a "random number (between 1 and 1000) of "swagbucks" - I got picked 3 times in around 35 searches and earned a total of 20 or so points) However, you earn points just by using their search engine (and refering friends, doing offers, and watching videos that were pushed by major sites like zoo.com) and you can get $25 giftcards for Amazon.com iirc 3100 points or so (some even less, $25 card for Restaraunt.com is only 400 points!) they also offer other items at various point-prices.

swagbucks.com

(no, there is no referal link, I saw the rules forbid apparent "fishing" for referals, so this is just the root site URL)

I used to use it in the past... My little brother uses it and every now and then gets £5 amazon vouchers from them.

Good to know it's legit. It looks good to just set it as homepage/search and get a little $$$ off Xmas presents ^_^

Ive used it before. Its not that bad actually It just takes a while to accumulate enough points to get something decent. Ive gotten $15 in amazon gift cards from them.

Ive gotten $30 paypal in total. It was all automated via a facebook group. I think i have 250 referrers there so every now and then i can get a $5. But to be honest the rewards arent that great.

They're nice to just get something for doing searches. (though if you know of a better pay-or-gift-for-searching-site I'm all ears)
