Today is Swagbucks's 2nd birthday! Apparently, this has sparked a website makeover, including changes to their rewards system, so now, instead of earning 1 or 2 swagbucks per search, you will now be earning 10x that amount. Of course, that means the prizes (gift cards, t-shirts, etc.) are now more expensive in terms of the number of swagbucks required to redeem them, but the frequency of wins is increased, as is the number and variety of prizes available.

If you're new to Swagbucks and are wondering what it is exactly, it's an online website and utility that lets you earn points (i.e. swagbucks) for doing things like searching, blogging, submitting polls, participating in free trial offers, and even shopping or playing games.

You can then redeem your swagbucks for such things as gift cards (Starbucks, amazon.com and amazon.ca, Sephora, restaurant.com, Paypal, itunes, wii, and many more!).
