If you haven’t signed up for Swagbucks yet, I don’t know what you are waiting for!
In case you don’t know, Swagbucks is a search engine that rewards you for searching the internet.
Using Swagbucks is easy, you simply sign up, and the next time you need to search for something on the web, instead of going to Google, you go to Swagbucks and use their search engine. About once or twice a day you will randomly win between 1-100 Swagbucks. Accumulate enough Swagbucks, and you can trade them in for great prizes or gift certificates. My favorite is Amazon Gift Certificates, which only cost 45 Swagbucks for a 5 Dollar gift card.
Swagbucks has a great referral program that can really quickly increase your winnings. In the last year I have won hundreds of dollars worth of Prizes and Gift Cards from Swagbucks.
Normally when you sign up for Swagbucks you automatically get 3 Swagbucks to start off. However, this Friday I will post a special code that will give you an additional 2 swagbucks just for signing up! The code is only good for 24 hours, so make sure you stop by on Friday, sign up for Swagbucks and get your extra Swagbucks!

Opinion Square is another survey company that I have been using for a while now. This is another great company to sign up to if you can’t get enough surveys! Points are awarded for completing surveys which can be redeemed for prizes and gift cards. Surveys are comparable in length to other survey companies and survey payout is about average. If you are looking for another solid survey company with more opportunites for rewards, sign up through the link below!
The one think that I will say about Opinion Square is that when you register, they will ask you to install software on your computer that will monitor your online spending. Personally I don’t like this so I chose not to install it. When I signed up, the site did not specifically give me an opportunity to not install the software, but I just closed the browser window when it asked me to install the software. I still received the confirmation email and have had no problems doing normal surveys. You can also uninstall the software at a later time through Windows if you do choose to install it.

My car recently got broken into and whoever did it got away with my stereo and a bunch of stuff. I’ve been dealing with the insurance company and having a bit of a hassle getting some of the stuff replaced, but this last break-in has left my car looking very sad. It now has 150,000 miles on it, has plenty of dents and scratches and now doesn’t even have a stereo.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m extremely happy that I even have a car and that it is paid off and still running. I just have really been thinking that it would be nice to have a new one. Unfortunately with the state of my personal finances at the moment, buying one is definitely out of the question. So what am I going to do? Win one!
Well that’s the plan at least…
I’m going to enter every legitimate contest I can find for a car as often as they will let me. Do I expect to win? Not really. But just like radio contests, you can’t win them unless you enter!
So here is where I need your help.
Since I don’t really have a lot of time to search the internet looking for contests, I’m asking you to find them and send them to me. Anyone that sends me a legitimate contest link will get a free linkback to their blog. I’m going to post the links to all the contests on a special page along with the linkback to the person who sent it to me, that way anyone who wants to try to win too can visit the page and enter as often as they want.
If you send me a link, make sure it follows these criteria:
- Absolutely no cost to enter
- Must be for a new car, doesn’t matter what type
- Must come from a reputable company that won’t steal or sell your information
- Must be open to entries for at least two more weeks
- Not a scam!
Specifically I’m looking for contests from large companies like Coca-Cola or Microsoft, not the scammy websites that promise big rewards for signing up your friends for Blockbuster Online and then don’t actually pay.
All links and linked blogs must be approved by me before I post them and I reserve the right to remove any link for any reason at any time if I choose to.
So leave a comment or hit the contact page and send me your links!
