Earn free gift cards

Have you heard of Swagbucks? If so, you know how great and easy it is to use! If not, here's the scoop:

Swagbucks is an online portal dedicated to helping you earn digital dollars called "Swag Bucks", which can be redeemed for exclusive swagbucks.com merchandise. I mainly use it when searching the web. When you search using swagbucks, you receive results from Google & Ask.com.

Just go to Swagbucks.com to log in and start searching (or you can download their tool bar and just do your searches through the toolbar). At random times you will have a "swag buck" pop up saying you've won. You accumulate swagbucks to redeem in their online store. You can redeem for merchandise and/or gift cards. It's super easy and it's an easy way to earn free gift cards! (note: it's doesn't take very long for the swag bucks to add up!)

There are other ways to get swag bucks (ie: online shopping and recycling your cell phone). You can go to their website to check it out and/or sign up. I've been doing this for a while and it's super easy.

KFC Free Meal Update

Well, it looks like KFC didn't anticipate people wanting a free meal! Because of the overwhelming response, you can no longer redeem your free meal coupon at KFC. Instead, you need to go to KFC and get a rain check form. Mail in the form and your coupon and they will mail you another one. (Note: it says you can give to the store manger and he/she will mail it in. I would mail it myself).
