Mega Swagbucks Day! Plus… we met HAL!

:: Win MORE Swag TODAY! ::

This is Hal, from Swagbucks… If you are a Swagbucks user you will recognize Hal from the Swagbucks blog and videos! We were in LA, riding on a bus with the Savings.com Deal Pros when all of a sudden, like we had just driven by Brad Pitt, everyone on the right side of the bus started screaming! It was HAL, on the sidewalk, interviewing people as they walked down Santa Monica Blvd. We came to a stop and ran out of the bus to mob this poor man, who had no idea that a bus full of frugal bloggers just recognized him! It was fun! Made his day also!

Right now Swagbucks is running a Swag Mom contest. What is a Swag Mom? Any user who has developed effective strategies for maximizing their Swagbucks experience.  Voting begins on April 30, and culminates on Mother’s Day 2012, when we’ll announce the Grand Prize winner. I found out about this contest from a reader ( thanks John!) who nominated me, thank you, I really appreciate your thoughtfulness!

Swagbucks is basically a search engine that rewards you with “swag” I win Swagbucks and use them to purchase Amazon gift cards to use to pay for my Christmas. Each year when I start in January, and cash them in by December I have about $400 to pay for my kids Christmas presents!
