Websites that can get you free stuff.

I've been trying out some of those 'win free stuff' sites over the last few months, and it does turn out that some of them do work. Most of these are trying to establish a user base by rewarding users from using their searchengine/site. Sites are listed from best to worse.


1. Swag Bucks
Site : swagbucks.com
Time to get a reward: About 1-2 weeks for a $5 amazon gift card.
Ship time: Less than a week.

Swag bucks offers a wide variety of prizes. You earn 2-4 points a day for using their search engine. It took me about 2 weeks to get my first gift card from them, and I cashed it in to confirm that its a valid amazon card. Highly Recomended


2. PikaGames
Site : www.pikagames.com
Time to get a reward: 2-3 months for a copy of fallout 3, much longer for anything else.
Ship time: unknown.

PikaGames is a flash game host much like newgrounds, you get one point each time you play a game, with a maximimum of about 40 points a day. It also features a nice facebook/myspace like area for making friends to talk to while playing the games. There are two problems with this site, however. First, It takes a fairly long time to get anything worth while. Secondly, because the site is so new, I haven't been able to find any accounts of people getting anything yet, so I cannot confirm if this site is legit. Its still fun to play flash games, even if you don't get anything, so I'm recomending it.

3. E-rewards/ U.Talk.Back
Site: Invite only, sorry
Time to get a reward: about 3 months for a $25 gift card.
Ship time: A month

These two sites are survey sites hosted by the company that owns gamestop. Its not too bad, except alot of times the surveys will take a long time to do, only to have it say that it cannot be accepted because you don't fit who they're trying to test. Still worth while, however there are alot better sites out there.

4. Microsoft's Live Search Club
Site: club.live.com
Time to get a reward: one day to 3 months, depending on the reward / how much time put in each day
Ship time: A month to 3 months to never

This site offers alot of really nice free stuff, but you really have to work for it. It sounds really nice, but its really flawed. Shipping times are way too long, and I still haven't recieved half of the stuff I ordered back in december. Their Support E-mail does nothing but send a blanket statement about their site. Not recomended.

5. PrizeRebel
Site:prizerebel.com
Time to get a reward: Unknown
Ship time: Unknown

This site seems pretty old, it has a ton of 'free offers' that you have to give your email for, or something to that extent. This site has a huge problem in that its really up to luck on wether or not you'll actually get credited for the things you do. In the 5 months I used this site, I didn't get enough credits for one single thing!
