SWAGBUCKS

SWAGbucks is my favorite site ever because you get paid just to search the web! It works just like Google, but every time you search, you have a chance to win "SWAGbucks". which you can cash in for prizes or free giftcards. You can also get more free points by using "swag codes" which are frequently posted on the site's blog and facebook pages. I've only been a member for a few weeks and I already received $25 in free Amazon gift cards.

Get Cash Back on Your Online Shopping Purchases

I love shopping online. But before I make a purchase I always check to make sure I'm not missing out on savings. There are hundreds of stores that you can get online rebates from just by using some of the free sites listed on my blog. The cashback% is calculated on your final order price after any sales or promo codes, but does not include any shipping costs.

Here's some examples of the cash back savings you can accumulate:

On Treasuretrooper you can receive discounts at hundreds of online stores.

Opinion Outpost

Opinion Outpost is easily my favorite survey panel. They have relatively frequent surveys that pay well (anything from $1 to $10 each, depending on the length of the survey). The minimum payout is only $5 (you may choose to be paid by a check in the mail or by Amazon gift certificate). Also, in the event you don't qualify for a particular survey, you have the opportunity to enter a sweepstakes drawing or give a small donation to charity.

FAQ

Does it cost money to use these sites?

No. All the GPT sites I list are 100% free to join. They may have some trial offers that require you to pay shipping / processing fees. However, you always have a choice over which offers you do and can easily earn plenty of money without doing any paid offers. Some sites will give you money back on many of your online purchases too, but this is strictly optional.

How much money can I earn doing this? It really depends on how much time & effort you put into it and also what types of offers you're willing to do. Trial offers generally pay more than freebie offers, but some people may be unwilling or unable to do them. If you become proficient at getting referrals the sky is the limit. You won't get rich, but can definitely earn a decent amount of money for your time.

Are these sites legitimate? Yes. Many companies are willing to pay top dollar for your honest opinion and for trying out their product or service. TV advertising is very expensive and (with the advent of DV-R) increasingly ineffective. Therefore companies are looking for new ways to reach potential customers. In some cases companies are paying simply for your name and email so they can send SPAM (hence why you should create free email/s just for doing offers).
