Do you like websites that give you credits for prizes rather then money?

For instance, swagbucks. There, you search to earn "swag bucks" and redeem them in their pretty big shop for all kinds of things from electronics, to comic books, to music downloads. That particular website has been around for a while, and I signed up recently and made 70 bucks fairly quickly (as I do a lot of researching) and redeemed them for a $5 pay pal gift card. It took 2 weeks, but today I just received it and did a little happy dance! I'm not sure if there is a limit to how many you can redeem, but that was easier and quicker then any pay to click, survey, emails ect. website I've ever tried. Also, I got an email from my friend the other day for a new website similar in concept called lockerz. But instead of searching you participate in daily polls, which I'm not sure I've figured out how they are making money off that, they don't have any or little advertisements and the poll takes a mere second to do. Since the website is new, they are only allowing people to sign up from an email invite, and you get to do a mini game which gives you some starter points (a good chunk of them) and the store is small, but it opens tomorrow and they are starting the prices very low. I'm already eligible to redeem my points for a 1gig usb drive in the shape of a pizza or cheeseburger (haha) and lots of xbox 360 games. I'm not sure if it's a scam, or going to flop when it opens to the public but it's fun and doesn't take that much time. Anyway, sorry to ramble, my question to you is do you prefer to click ads to make money to pay for stuff, or do you just get a kick out of getting free stuff from the internet, like these prize websites, or raffles, or online samples? I got a cupon for a free Starbucks ice cream, and I did another happy dance haha. I love free stuff and prizes in my mailbox. (and if you want more info on those two websites I mentioned say so, or message me. I can invite you if you would like to try lockers. Swagbucks doesn't need an invite but if you want to use my referral link that's cool too :) http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/kidswanttechn0 )
