SwagBucks

Take a look below at the gift cards I have redeemed in 2011.  So far in 2011, I have earned $35 for Amazon.com and $20 for CVS.  I have started saving for CVS gift cards because I have started back up on my good coupon shopping and can use those as weekly challenges.  Since I am just beginning to use my 2nd CVS gift card, I'm currently saving for either a $25 CVS gift card or a different gift card.  There are a variety of gift card choices including StarBucks, Target, Home Depot, Southwest Airlines, and a few restaurants to just name a few.

Speaking of coupon shopping, they also have coupons you can print directly from SwagBucks!  It is powered through Coupons.com, so they are the exact same.  After the coupon is redeemed, you are supposed to receive 10 SwagBucks per coupon.  Seems interesting since it helps me in both ways (save money on the products I'm purchasing and at the same time earn points for free money!).  I started this in the beginning of May 2011, so I might see a few within the next month or two that were redeemed.

What in the world is this SwagBucks thing everybody is talking about?

That’s what I kept saying too, now it’s my absolute favorite thing. I had heard about it for months, but kept putting it off. Finally I started looking into it and signed up almost two years ago.

 

Swagbucks is an alternative to Googling, but the results are powered by Google. More importantly, you win Swagbucks by searching. You win Swagbucks just for doing something you already were doing anyway – searching the internet.

 

They start you off with free Swagbucks and then you WIN Swagbucks when you search online. After only a few searches the first day, I had already accumulated many Swagbucks. After a couple of weeks, I had earned enough to redeem! Yeah. The best part – you can turn them in for gift cards (or other items).

 

The way I look at it, this is FREE money they are giving me for choosing to “SwagBuck” something instead of “Google”.

 

Reminders:

• Remember to get your 3 daily SwagBucks
• Install the Toolbar
• Vote on the Daily Polls
• Check the Surveys.
• Do random searches daily to win searches.  On average,  you can get 8-11 SwagBucks per day by doing daily searches.  Pick random topics, things in the news, to do your searches!  You will be surprised how quickly you will get your daily search.

Swagbucks Adds More Ways to Redeem Bucks!

Look what I learned about this evening:

Swagbucks has added a ton of new gift cards that you can choose from to redeem your swagbucks!  We used to only work towards Amazon cards, but now you can choose from a number of other places that are just as good.

Some of the new options:

$10 CVS gift card – 1,249 SB
$10 Home Depot gift card – 1,249 SB
$10 Macaroni Grill, On The Border and other Restaurants – 1,195 SB
$10 O’Charley’s gift card – 1,145 SB
$10 Fandango gift card – 1,175 SB

Don’t worry all the old options are still there.

My two favorites:

$10 Starbucks gift card – 1,300 SB
$5 Amazon gift card – 450 SB

These new options are fun to me, because you have a way to use your web searching to pay for things offline.  Think free diapers, paper towels and more using CVS cards!  I'm currently trying to get back into my serious coupon shopping with the economy currently.

New to Swagbucks??

This is a search engine that you register for (free) and then earn swagbucks as you search or even shop online.  Most folks that use it for all their searching can earn probably 50-75 swagbucks per week, that’s  $5 gift card you earn every 5 weeks!

SwagBucks' Summer of Swag (Monday will be HUGE!)

You ought to know by now that there are some things in life that are FREE, unlike the popular saying. Thanks to my using SwagBucks instead of Google to search the internet, I’ve received FREE Amazon.com Giftcards!  However, you can also get Free magazines, Macy’s, Starbucks Gift Cards, Target Giftcards, Lowe's Giftcards, and many others!

If you’ve been neglecting to use SwagBucks as your search engine (remember, it’s powered by Google), be sure to use it this week. It’s a HUGE week to kick off the Summer of Swag!

• Monday (JUNE 7th) is a Swag Code Extravaganza – they are releasing at least 5 Swag Codes throughout the day – that means FREE SwagBucks for you and me.
• Monday (they’ll be awarding many 25 SwagBuck amounts) Every 7th searching win on Swagbucks will be awarded that big bill. Every day will be a different high value. This is HUGE!
