A Redeeming Binging I Will Go

Do you Google or Bing? We all like to make a little extra money. Besides the obvious fun aspect of this site, we also are here to see our bank rise a penny here and a penny there. So, if you are Googling instead of Binging when you search online, I can't help but wonder why? Bing, unlike Google, pays you to search using their search engine. Today I was able to redeem three $5 gift cards for Amazon. Yup, that's $15 for those not so good at math. This is not the first time I have redeemed, and I still have enough points earned on Bing to redeem another $10 worth of Amazon gift cards when I am ready. I don't often shop on Amazon, but when I do, it's nice to have some free cash there that I can apply to a purchase. It's like having a big coupon.

Oh. That's a good thing to do as well. I have actually been surprised by how much one can accumulate just doing simple searches. I've been able to cash in about $25 over time, and still have $10 I can still get. It helps I am ALWAYS searching for my job, and so there's an extra payout over time. I don't shop a lot on Amazon, but when I do, it is nice to have a little "coupon" I got from practically nothing to help pay the bill.

@Courage7 Something to look into, I guess. I never have a problem with Bing at all.

Hey, if they are willing to pay you a little bit, and I think India is on the list, why not? If you are going to search you might as well get paid. And we all search for a lot of reasons...so let those pennies come forth.

Bing is paying you to use their search engine? Must be an American thing, haven't heard about it here in Germany...

Can't fight him. No. But you can go with the one that gives a little back, and that would be Bing.

@theend Not sure if they pay in Vietnam, but it might be worth looking into.

Yes I use Bing and Swagbucks and get the $5.00 gift cards. Easy money. Lately I have been getting the WalMart cards to order things like bulk paper towels, etc. You can get good deals in bulk. Although Swagbucks has slowed down because they don't play well with Safari.

I wonder if Bing offers a Walmart card? I am not sure I have seen one. But I could get WAY more use out of a Walmart card than an Amazon card, hands down.

@CarolDM What exactly is Swagbucks? I keep hearing about it, but don't know much about what it is?

You must, you must. Those points add up quickly, especially if you do some of the extras that allow you to accumulate points. I am always searching for something, be it for work or at home, and so it tends to pay off nicely.

It's like free money, especially if you already searching for something. I do a lot of searches for work, and so it's a little bonus.
