Happy 2nd Birthday, Swag Bucks, and thanks for another day (and another year) of birthday gifts! Swag Bucks, a search portal that pays everyday internet users like you to use their search engine, released Swag Bucks 3.0 today AND…a swag code worth 60 Swag Bucks for new members!! (For those of you who already enjoy the perks of Swag Bucks, SBs are now worth ten times their previous value…though prizes cost ten times more than before, so it all evens out.)
If you’re new to Swag Bucks, click HERE to register (it takes less than a minute), and enter the IMOMMIES1 code to start off with 60 Swag Bucks. (In case you’re wondering, 60 Swag Bucks is enough to purchase one of a couple hundred of the lower end prizes, including a $5 DiNG gift certificate.)
All users can follow Swag Bucks today on their blog, Twitter, and Facebook to earn more free 2nd birthday Swag codes!
What else is new/happening today at Swagbucks.com?
1.) More ways to earn Swag Bucks every day: With Swagbucks.com 3.0 users will be able to earn by logging in to the Swag Bucks toolbar on their browser and also by simply viewing ‘No Obligation’ special offers. This means that in addition to all the regular ways to earn, the more you are engaged with Swagbucks.com, the more you will earn!
2) New look home page, Swag Store, and rewards store: Swagbucks.com 3.0 will include a revamped, cleaner interface that promises to provide a better user experience.
3) Launch of the Swagstakes Portal: Swag Bucks currently runs about a dozen on-going sweepstakes (called Swagstakes) at any given time. With the launch of 3.0, they have a brand new, fully stocked Swagstakes portal in which there will be dozens of Swagstakes running at all times! Some contests will be limited entry (meaning a set number of entries will be offered) so the odds for a user to win are greater. The tentative list of items that will be offered during initial launch include: $100 Amazon Gift Cards, Sony Bravia 32″ TV, Amazon Kindle, Apple iPod Touch, Flip Ultra HD Camera, Panasonic Blu Ray with Remote, Apple iPad, Sopranos Complete Series Box Set, Rachel Ray 10 piece cookware set, Playstation 3 system + games bundle, Canon Powershot Camera, Seinfeld Complete Series DVD box Set, Vizio 22″ LCD TV and plenty more!
It’s a “Swaggy” September with promotions for both new AND existing SwagBucks members!
New Members: If you haven’t already signed up with SwagBucks, you have until September 10th to earn a free $5 gift card just for registering (3 SwagBucks for registering plus 2 SwagBucks for the promotion code)! Click HERE (iMommies referral link) to register, enter the “imommycode” registration code, check your email for registration confirmation, and then download the search toolbar in one click. (The registration code expires at 12pm PST on Thursday, September 10th.) In about 30 seconds, you’ll earn enough SwagBucks to purchase a free $5 gift card…or you can save those SwagBucks and earn other items.
All Members: A brand new search toolbar was released yesterday, and those who download the toolbar will receive a SwagCode every single day throughout the month of September! The only way to get the daily code is by having the toolbar installed, but by the end of the “Swagtember”…you should have enough SwagBucks to purchase six $5 gift cards! Click HERE to download the new search toolbar.
In addition to the toolbar, Swago (the SwagBuck’s version of online Bingo) has arrived! From now through the end of 2009, you’ll receive a Swago game piece in the mail along with your prize, when you redeem prizes from select categories on Swagbucks.com. If you can manage to connect 5 board pieces in a row, you win the Grand Prize of 1,000 Swag Bucks!
If you’re a Qwest High-Speed Internet customer, sign up for Fast Forward Life, “an e-newsletter of tips, tricks, and high-speed how-to’s”, and receive a free $50 gift certificate from Restaurant.com.

If you missed the last Chase enrollment bonus, here’s the new offer. Chase Bank offers rewards to Chase Visa debit card holders via a point system. Each dollar spent is worth one point, and as those points add up, you can redeem them to purchase products or gift certificates from an online catalog. (Chase actually has two reward programs and this one is completely free…the other program rewards three points for each dollar spent, though there is a small monthly fee.)
Enroll your Chase Visa debit card in the Chase Visa Extras free reward program and receive 5,500 free points as an enrollment bonus. The bonus will be added to your point balance no later than October 31, 2009, and can be redeemed at any point after that. What’s an extra 5,500 points worth? A free $10 gift card to CVS, Target, JC Penney, Chili’s, Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, etc.!
In addition to the free 5,500 points, you’ll automatically earn a point for every dollar spent when using the “Credit” option during any transaction.
If you haven’t yet signed up with SwagBucks, this weekend is the time to do so! It takes about 30 seconds, and with a registration code, you’ll earn enough SwagBucks to purchase a free $5 gift card just for registering. No catch! Technically, you could register for a SwagBucks account, redeem your SwagBucks for a free gift card, and never use their site again.
But seriously…why would you want to do that?!

For the next 24 hours, use the IMOMMIES code to register for a SwagBucks account and receive a total of 5 SwagBucks (3 SwagBucks are awarded to each new member, and an additional 2 SwagBucks are awarded with the IMOMMIES code)!
What can you do with 5 SwagBucks? To start, you could redeem them immediately after registering to purchase one of three different $5 gift cards. On the other hand, you could also use them to start building your SwagBucks “savings” account, to purchase higher-value items later.
If you missed the $15 off $15 promotion at the end of February… it’s back again. Combine a $5 Rewards Certificate with a $10 coupon code and take $15 off any purchase of $15 or more. You will have to cover the shipping charges ($4.50 to ship to your local store or $5.95 for standard delivery).
If you’re a first-time Ebates customer, you’ll earn an additional $5 bonus reward, which is just about the right amount to cover those shipping fees!
