SwagBucks	Available in: US, UK, Canada
When you search with SwagBucks (the web site), you have a chance to win SwagBucks (the digital dollars) every time. SwagBucks are awarded instantly at random times. So what are SwagBucks? They're basically points that you redeem at the SwagBucks store for prizes. You can get songs, books, TV shows, and more. Save enough and you can redeem your SwagBucks for big prizes like game consoles, camcorders, iPods, and the like. You can increase your SwagBucks total by shopping at the site or referring your friends. Every time someone you referred wins SwagBucks, you get the same amount (up to 1000 SwagBucks). Searches bring up results from Google and Ask.com (as well as sponsored results from those sites). Give it a try and win some swag!
