WHAT'S THE CATCH?
There's absolutely no catch. Swagbucks makes money from search engine sponsors, and advertisements. So every time you search, they make money. And every time you search you can get points (aka "swagbucks") to trade in for prizes. It's a win win situation for everyone.
OK, GIVE ME SOME PROOF...
It's ok to be skeptical about winning free stuff on the internet, I was skeptical too. There are way too many people out there posting scams everyday, and it's becoming harder and harder to filter out legit websites.
Well, swagbucks makes it easy for you to decide. They've asked their users to make videos of themselves unboxing their prizes, and also to take pictures of themselves holding their prizes. You can't fake this!
