Did You Know… You can earn BONUS cash by clipping coupons?

Coupons are a great way to save money, right?

Well, what if I told you that in addition to the money you save when you REDEEM those coupons at your local grocery store, that there are also a few ways to earn BONUS money and rewards for clipping coupons too??

How to Earn Rewards from your Coupon Clipping:

You earn 10 Swagbucks for EVERY coupon that you print out from their site and redeem!!! There are great ones too:

$1.00 off Skittles
$1.00 off 1 Minute Maid Juice Box 10-pk
$1.50 off any TWO (2) Ziploc Containers
$1.00 off TWO Clorox Clean-Up products
.75 cents off 1 package of PHILADELPHIA Cooking Creme
and TONS more!

What the points are worth:

You can get a $5 Amazon gift card every time you reach 450 points, {or one of thousands of other rewards, this one is just my favorite.}, which means each coupon is worth about .10 cents in Amazon bucks. You’re going to clip coupons anyway, so this is an AMAZING way to add some extra savings!! You can find the coupon printing app right on the home page, right side. LOVE this!!

**********

Another way to earn some bonus rewards with coupons is to use Inbox Dollars to print coupons. Every coupon you print and redeem here will earn you .10 cents cash!!

They deposit it right into your Inbox Dollars account, and you can request a check when you reach $30. And they are VERY accurate, I’ve been using it for years, and have never had any problems. There are a ton of other ways to earn here too, plus you get a FREE $5 bucks today when you sign up!!

**********

MyPoints rewards you with points that you can also use towards FREE gift cards!! You earn 10 points for every Coupons.com coupon that you print and redeem. Plus, earn 25 BONUS Points when you print and redeem and 10 or more Coupons.com, Smartsource.com coupons or when you save and redeem any 10 or more Cellfire coupons in a month!

Your points can be redeemed for 100% free gift cards- A few examples:

1,650 points = $10 The Cheesecake Factory Gift Card
1,700 points = $10 CVS/pharmacy® Gift Card
3,950 points = $25 Amazon.com Gift Cert. Claim Code
6,850 points = $50 Old Navy Gift Card
8,950 points = $50 into your PayPal account

I like to save up all of the gift cards that I earn all year, and use them at the holidays, to make most of my shopping free!

How the Savings add up:

Many of these coupons are similar to what you’ll find on Coupons.com, or RedPlum, or what you can load digitally to your cards on Cellfire. The big difference is that you are getting PAID bonus rewards or cash when you use them… Which you don’t get when you use coupons from other sites! Think of it this way…

EVERY 10 COUPONS YOU PRINT EARNS YOU AN EXTRA $1 DOLLAR!!! WOW, RIGHT???

That adds up quick! Plus, if you usually print coupons from the other sites, there is a limit to how many copies you can print. So head to one of these sites to print more, to stock up on great deals!!

You can also earn with Online Coupon Codes:

Sign up for an account at CouponChief.com, then add the best online coupon codes you find each day. You can share your link with friends, {mine is SunandSipCups if you want to check it out… I haven’t used it in awhile, so the codes are probably old. But I’m going to be getting started with this again very soon!} or if you’re a blogger, add the widget right on your site, and share your Top 5 Coupon Codes directly with your readers!

You earn 2% of the purchase price, every time someone makes a purchase with YOUR coupon code!! Awesome, right?

Get signed up today, and start earning more money!!

Remember, sign up at Swagbucks to earn points for every coupon you print and redeem, which you can use to get FREE gift cards and other rewards!! Sign up at Inbox Dollars too, and earn FREE CASH for every coupon you redeem!!! And if you shop online a lot, share those cool coupon codes you find on CouponChief.com, and earn more cash that way too!!

This is a great way to earn a little {or a LOT if you’re a big coupon junkie} extra money for your family….

Is Swagbucks a Scam?

I get asked all of the time, “Is Swagbucks a Scam?” To which I’ll answer- “No WAY!!!” I have used Swagbucks for about 2 years, and it is one of THE VERY BEST ways to earn free rewards online. Seriously.

«Previous	Page 1 of 96	Next»

These are the Swagbucks that I’ve earned!

Notice how it says on the bottom, “Page 1 of 96”?? Yep, that’s how many points I’ve earned. Every 450 points earns me another FREE $5 Amazon gift card!! I earn $100’s in cards each year, which is an amazing help for my family, and is what I use to buy diapers for the baby- FREE. Awesome, right? And going into the holidays, it’s a great way to do your shopping for free. {Get 15 more ways to shop online for free here too.}

How do you earn points?

Add their toolbar. This is super easy, I promise. I’m not a skilled technology person, but this was simple to do. Then, use the toolbar for your regular searches, and you randomly get points added to your account. Seriously, what could be easier?
To boost your points, you can do more activities: The surveys can earn you 50-150 points each, which can add up SUPER fast!! There are tons of other ways to earn- daily polls, games, offers, etc.
Refer your friends. You can connect your Swagbucks to your Facebook account, and it will automatically share on your wall when you get new points, so that you’re friends want to check it out too! Then, when they earn points, so do you!! {I only have 4 referrals, but even that small amount gives me a big boost!}
Watch for SwagCodes while searching, or that other bloggers post. Then enter them in your account for MORE bonus points!!
Tons more ways to earn too: Coupons, Shopping, Daily Deals, Games, Videos, and loads more!

Tons of Rewards Available:

There are literally thousands of different rewards to choose from: gift cards, donations, products, sweepstakes entries, and more.

I redeem almost all of my points for Amazon.com Gift Cards, since that’s where I do all of my baby shopping. Every time you get a new gift card, you can add the code to your Amazon account, and let them add up until you’re ready to use ’em. Love it. Plus, since some of my favorite survey sites reward with Amazon gift cards too, I can get most of what I buy there for free each month.

Other great rewards available:

Gift Cards from sites like Cookies Kids, Gourmet Gift Baskets, EcoMom, Frecklebox, and Restaurant.com.
You can use small amounts of points to make donations to charities like Lupus Foundation of America.
You can get FREE products, from games and toys to magazines and home decor.
Your points can be used to enter Swagstakes giveaways too! You use the points as entries, and there are so many giveaways to win!

Swagbucks ROCKS my SOCKS!

I recommend this site to everyone, and it’s hard to understand why you wouldn’t want to use it! Even if all you do is add the toolbar, you’ll earn points with NO effort at all. It’ll take you longer to earn rewards, but heck, they’ll be free when you do earn ’em, so why not??

If you’re using Swagbucks too, leave a comment to tell me your best tip, or favorite feature of the site!!
