One of my favorite ways to stretch my budget is through the use of Swagbucks.

Swagbucks is a website that allows you to earn free stuff by doing the things you do online every day – searching the web, shopping online, and by engaging in other activities such as playing games, taking surveys, watching videos, and completing special offers.

And starting March 2, 2015, the Swagbucks Rewards Store is getting a makeover that makes it an even better value.

Here are a few of the changes that will be coming:

Each month, you’ll be able to redeem 2200 Swag Bucks for any $25 gift card of your choice (excluding PayPal and gas cards).  There are more than 100 gift cards to choose from at this bargain price – including Target, Walmart and CVS.

Swagbucks is raising the price of a $5 Amazon gift card to 500 Swag Bucks, BUT they’re also adding a $3 Amazon gift card for just 300 Swag Bucks.  That means you’ll be able to earn an Amazon gift card 33 percent faster than you can now.  Or you can get a $25 Amazon gift card for just 2200 Swagbucks – a 20 percent savings over five $5 Amazon gift cards.  I love using my Swag Bucks for Amazon gift cards because I can use them to buy gifts, a treat for myself or household goods.

Swagbucks is also planning to offer more low-cost gift cards in the coming months, which is welcome news for anyone looking to save money on the things they need.

If you aren’t already using Swagbucks, you can sign up for Swagbucks for free and start earning your freebies right away.  Enter the code SKATE70 when you sign up to start out with a bonus 70 Swag Bucks in your account. Swagbucks is fun and easy to use especially when you know how to maximize your Swagbucks earnings.

Swagbucks is one of the few money-saving websites I can honestly say I have used nearly every day for more than 6 years. Since I’ve started using it, I’ve earned hundreds of dollars in gift cards and cash.  I love it, and I think you’ll love it, too!
