Ive been recently using swagbucks and lockerz and they have proven useful but I was wondering if there were any other non-scam freebie sites that dosnt require you spending cash or a way to get free paypal cash.... Thanks.

I've signed up with these for over a year and had some good stuff.

If you have an Android phone there is always the Amazon App Store. Free app everyday! They're usually great apps too!

Whenever I see "free", I immediately think "scam" and throw it away. I had no clue there were legit freebie sites out there! I'll have to take a look!

Giveaway of the Day is cool, except it doesn't allow you to install the software after the day. Basically it's a one-time install.

That is the drawback and I've missed some good stuff like that.

"Free stuff" sites are never actually "free." They cost you time, not to mention make sure you've got a spam email so that your inbox isn't filled up with 600 emails by the end of the day.

These sites generally require you to fill out surveys, install software (that is normally very difficult to remove), and spend a lot of time. I used to do these sites, and I did get some pretty cool stuff out of it (a green laser pen that actually has a visible beam, still have it, pretty cool).

I simply advise that you do not install the software and / or toolbars offered. They have the highest cash value, but tend to slow down your PC to the point of freezing.

I just now realized I've had a typo in my signature for the past 3 years.
