HOW DOES IT WORK?
Winning with Swagbucks is very simple. All you need to do is use their search engine.
1. Search the web using http://swagbucks.com/refer/ShaneV and receive results from Google & Ask.com
2. SwagBucks are periodically awarded as you search the web.
3. Redeem your Swag Bucks for exclusive swagbucks.com products and more in the Swag Store.
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!
