Swagbucks is a FREE to use site (they also have a mobile app for android, iphone, ipad and ipod touch) that pays you for doing things you likely already do online.
Such examples are:
Watching videos through the swagbucks page, answering surveys, doing searches through the swagbucks search bar (run by Yahoo! so you know it's legitimate) and playing games.
For each action you complete you get a certain amount of "swagbucks". 1 "Swagbuck" is equal to 1 cent. This doesn't sound like much, but it can build up quickly. You are able to cash out in a multitude of ways. The earliest cash out is a $3 Amazon.ca (or .com, if you prefer) egift card. There are other gift cards available too, restaurants, Starbucks, Lowes and Home Depot are just a few examples. My favorite way to redeem my swagbucks is for paypal cash, although the lowest cashout amount for paypal is $25 (or 2,500 swagbucks).
2018 Update: Swagbucks now allows purchases through "Mygiftcardsplus.ca" to qualify for swagbucks. So if you plan to buy gift cards as gifts, or for yourself - this is a great way to get cash back!
I have earned over $500 with Swagbucks in just over a year, and that's with infrequent use. For proof of payment I have included the Email confirmation from both Swagbucks itself and Paypal.
The guaranteed daily SBs are:
Playing the "Swag Jump" game. This is a guaranteed 10SB a day, with 2SB earned every other time you play, up to a maximum of 10SB.
Answering the "Daily Poll" this is a guaranteed 1SB a day.
Clicking on the "Deal of the Day" - 1SB. (All you have to do is follow the link, then close it. No purchase is required).
Additional ways to earn SB:
Shopping online through Swagbucks - Much like ebates.com, Swagbucks will pay you a percentage of your purchase back. These amounts range from 1% back as much as 10% back. Sometimes the rates are even better than ebates and you can cash out a lot faster. Just make sure you go through the Swagbucks "Shop" page to find the online store you wish to shop at.
Watching videos on the "SB Watch" page. Each playlist has a certain amount of clips and at the end will credit you with the SB (usually 6 videos - 1SB, 12 videos = 2SB, 20 videos = 3SB). 2018 Update: Swagbucks has changed the value of playlists. It is now 8 Videos - 1SB, 15 Videos - 2SB and 23 Videos - 3SB.
I will typically put the videos on play in a muted tab, so I can continue to work in quiet while still earning SB, the playlists tend to auto play but you can also help them along if desired.
Watching videos through the Swagbucks Widget. Within the widget there is a "WatchTV" option, that you can open and let the videos play through. Each video will credit 3 or 4%, once you reach 100% you will be rewarded 2SB. These videos also auto play, so you can mute the tab and leave it running to collect Swagbucks without putting in any effort.
Search Bar Wins - Not every search you make through the swagbucks search bar will give you SB, but each unique search has a chance to earn you money. My tip for this is to use the searchbar for as many things as possible. Say for example you want to go to your Gmail account. You'd type "Gmail" into the swagbucks search bar, and it would give you Gmail.com as a top result. That way you get to the page you intended to, but also get a chance to earn some money at the same time.
Swagcodes - Every few days or so Swagbucks posts a secret code somewhere on their social media accounts, and if you download the "SwagButton" widget (available for Firefox, Safari and Chrome) it will notify you of when the code is posted, and where to find it. These codes are typically worth anywhere from 3 to 5SB each, sometimes up to 10SB.
Answering Surveys - Swagbucks works in partnership with several well known survey companies, and will pay you to answer surveys. Mind you, you won't qualify for all of them - but I typically qualify for one per day. These surveys pay anywhere from 35SB to 110SB each. Be as honest as possible because if you are found to be providing inaccurate answers you can be banned from answering further surveys.
