Have a baby? Why not earn free diapers and other baby products?

Hi readers! My review this week is for my readers with babies still in diapers, or small children. Pampers.com is a great site to go and sign up for a free account! Sign up today and receive 50 bonus points with the code JOINNOW4REWARDS.

PRO 1: Free membership - I LOVE a free site that will also give rewards! This is always a pro in my book!

PRO 2: Points for buying pampers products - If you have a baby in diapers you will find that you rack up the points quickly from this aspect! 

PRO 3: Free points posted on their twitter feed - If you are on twitter you will find random free points posted there! 

PRO 4: Reward types that parents can enjoy - The rewards are good for things from diaper coupons to shutterfly gift codes! It comes in handy since diapers are such a large portion of expenses for babies!

PRO 5: Lots of free advice on raising your baby - You know babies do not come with an instruction manual, but thanks to pampers, you can find lots of information and free advice on raising your baby.

Now on to the cons, because even the best sites do have some cons.

CON 1: Site is not the easiest to navigate - It can be hard to find your way around the site. Once you sign in it is easy enough to find where to put codes in, but to get your rewards it can be a little more difficult to find. 

CON 2: Only a few different types of rewards - I normally prefer to have more rewards to choose from than what is offered on pampers. However that could have something to do with the fact that my daughter is no longer in diapers. 

CON 3: If you wait for only the free points it will take a while to get any reward - This isn't so much a con as one might think. I signed up for pampers while my daughter was still in diapers and while she was in diapers I got many rewards and relatively quickly. However now that she is no longer in diapers and I am no longer buying diapers I don't accrue points as quickly. I only get the free points or the occasional codes from a baby shower gift that I purchase. It takes much longer to save enough points to get any rewards. 


So there you have it, my review shows that this site is definitely worth your time and effort, especially if you have a baby in diapers. Even if your child is no longer in diapers, it can still be a rewarding site, it will just take a little longer to get that reward! Again here is a code to get you started: pampers.com sign up for gifts to grow and then enter code JOINNOW4REWARDS for 50 bonus points!

Swag what? Swagbucks!

I've been trying to contain myself in my excitement over this topic today, but I find myself bursting at the seams! I discovered swagbucks this time 2 years ago and at first was REALLY skeptical, but since I've been doing it for over 2 years now, I can tell you honestly, swagbucks IS worth the time you put into it! 

Here's a referral code to get you started: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/danhagg

Now I'm going to go ahead and jump right into all the GREAT opportunities there are with swagbucks!

PRO 1: Get rewarded for doing things on the internet that you probably were already doing anyway - Swagbucks will reward you for using their search engine, which will give you the same search results as other search engines, BUT you start at the swagbucks page 1st. They will reward you for watching swagTV which has many interesting channels, I prefer the cooking channel but they also have entertainment and music and even some original programs. They will reward you for taking surveys. They will even reward you for printing out coupons and redeeming them at your local grocery store!

PRO 2: Easy to use - This site is awesome because it is VERY user friendly! They WANT you to use it and get rewarded! They have it all set out so that all you have to do is sign in and you can start getting rewards quickly! Want to do a survey? Go over to the answer tab. Want to play a game? Go to the play tab. Want to watch swagTV? Go to the watch tab. It's all set up to be very easy to navigate! 

PRO 3: FREE points just to sign up - You're gonna be SO happy that you signed up for an account with swagbucks, and they are going to be happy you are there too, so just as a welcome gift, swagbucks will give you FREE bonus points when you sign up! Now as I said it's been a while since I've signed up for my account, so I can't remember the exact amount they give you for signing up. However I think it's somewhere around 100, maybe even more! They give you points for adding a picture, inviting some friends from facebook, and installing their toolbar!

PRO 4: Swagcodes almost everyday - "What's a swagcode?" I bet you're asking. Well a swagcode is a string of characters (it could be a real or nonsensical word or a even phrase) that swagbucks puts out nearly everyday that is worth points. And again it's FREE! Somedays they even have swagcode events, where they put out several codes in a day!

PRO 5: Many different reward options in the swagstore - Now you may be wondering, "What do I do with all the points I get?" Well you go over to the swagstore and you cash them in on everything from greeting cards to baby items, from gift cards to electronics! They have TONS of different things you can cash in your points for!

PRO 6: Make the daily goal, get bonus points - Everyday swagbucks gives you a "mini challenge", if you will, and if you make the goal you will be awarded with bonus points for the day! Most days, with a little bit of time you can make that goal with little effort.

PRO 7: FREE swagbucks on your birthday - As if your birthday wasn't sweet enough from all the cards and presents and cake, swagbucks will send you a birthday email with 50 swagbucks in it, all you gotta do is confirm the email! SWEET!

Ok so that's my list of pros, but like everything in the world, there some cons, BUT for this site, there are only a few!

CON 1: Swagbucks can seem like they take a long time to accrue to any value - Sure you get points everyday for doing simple things like searching the internet, answering the daily poll, or using the toolbar, but the few points you get for these will take a while to accrue. The REAL value and potential of this reward site is in the Special Offers. The best part, you DO NOT have to spend any money to see your points add up quickly! There are many free special offers that you can do that will get you a lot of points, such as signing up for a credit card or doing a free trial of something.

CON 2: Prizes take a little while to be sent - Although this is listed as a con, it really is understandable. Swagbucks gets paid when we do an offer or buy something they promote, and in turn they give us a portion of the money they earn (after all we've done the work to get them the money, why shouldn't we be rewarded?) the thing is though, when you get enough points to cash out, you click on the item you want to redeem your points for, say a gift card to Amazon (my personal favorite), you use your points for the gift card, but it can take about 7-14 days to actually get the item from swagbucks. This is understandable to me because wouldn't you want to receive your credit from the company before paying out of pocket to get a prize for your customers? 

So that sums up my swagbucks review! This is by far my favorite reward site because I've made the most money from them, AND they are the easiest to do!
