2013 Freebie Recap

Do you like getting stuff for free?  I know I do!  Here's a recap of everything I got for free in 2013 and how I got it so you can get something for free too.  And if you're interested in seeing what I got for free in 2012, here's my 2012 Freebie Recap.

I used various websites to earn Amazon gift cards online.  Here's what I bought using my gift cards in 2013:

• 10.1 Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 ($349.00)
• Protective case for the tablet ($13.99)
• Masking tape, foam sheets, glitter glue, and contact paper for a project to do with the kids ($21.50)
• Hamilton Beach single serve coffee maker for a Christmas gift for Hubby ($49.00)
• 18 K-cups for the new coffee maker ($15.99)
• Several apps for the new tablet ($10)

That brings me to a grand total of $459.48 in free products.  That doesn't include a few things I bought on Amazon and paid for partially with gift cards.  Here's how I earned that money: 


 
Swagbucks: Earn points that can be redeemed for Amazon gift cards along with many other rewards by using the Swagbucks search engine, completing the daily tasks, watching Swagbucks tv, shopping online through Swagbucks at participating websites, and completing special offers and surveys.  You can sign up for Swagbucks here. 




  MyPoints: Earn points that can be redeemed for Amazon gift cards along with many other rewards by clicking through on the daily emails they send, completing surveys, shopping online through MyPoints at participating websites, using the MyPoints search engine, playing games at MyPoints games (which earn points on MyPoints PLUS rewards points on the game site which can also be turned in for Amazon gift cards making that a double win!), and completing simple offers in the "Easy Points" tab.  Invites are by email only so send me an email at annaliesbabyboutique@yahoo.com if you'd like to join.
 

Listia: Earn credits which you can use to win Amazon gift cards (or just about anything else!) in auctions put up by other members of the site by sharing auctions from the site on Facebook and selling stuff you don't want anymore in your own auctions.  You can sign up for Listia here.    


 
Bing Rewards: Earn points that can be redeemed for Amazon gift cards along with other rewards using the Bing search engine and clicking on a daily offer.  You can sign up for Bing Rewards here. 
   

 

Ebates: Earn Paypal cash (or opt to have the site send you a check in the mail) by shopping online through Ebates at participating websites. You can sign up for Ebates here.






For smartphones and tablets only:

Appnana: Earn "Nanas" by checking into the app daily and installing and opening new apps on your device.  I wait until the Nanas credit to my account. and then I delete the new app from my tablet.  The Nanas can be used to purchased Amazon gift cards, Google play gift cards, Itunes gift cards, Paypal cash, and several other rewards.  Install the app on your device for free and use the code "a753486" for an additional 2500 Nanas.

 Viggle: Earn points by "checking in" to tv shows on your smartphone or tablet.  Some shows are worth extra points plus sometimes there are fun little quizes to play along with the show that earn you extra points.  The rewards change periodically, but I'm waiting until they offer Amazon gift cards again to cash in my points.  You can download the app for free. Send me an email at annaliesbabyboutique@yahoo.com if you'd like to join with my referral link to get an extra 1000 points! 




*Note: When I'm shopping online, I either get free shipping or a percentage off my order by searching for coupon codes at sites like retailmenot.com and coupons.com.  NEVER pay full price when shopping at a big name store online.  Combine those savings with cashback through one of the sites mentioned above and possibly rewards points on your credit card and you can save a lot of money!
