Are you doing swagbucks? You should be!!!

post #1 of 23
Thread Starter 
I kept hearing about swagbucks and thinking I should do it, but kept putting it off and thinking it was too much trouble. Well I finally bit the bullet about a month ago, and I'm so glad I did!!

In about a month, I've earned enough points for $10 in amazon gift cards. Now you're thinking that's not much! But think about it....in one year I'll earn enough with swagbucks to get $120 worth of Amazon gift cards!! Think about how useful that could be at Christmas. I could buy my DS a video game, some CDs, some DVDs, some books, etc, things I usually buy from amazon anyway.

You don't HAVE to buy amazon gift cards. There are many other gift cards you can get, or items you can purchase, etc. But most people buy the amazon gift cards because they require less bucks to purchase than other items and are a better deal. (You essentially use your earned swagbucks to buy these things).


So, aliadam.....How do I earn these swagbucks??? I'm so glad you asked!

You earn them by searching with their toolbar. You don't HAVE to download their toolbar if you don't want. You can just go to their site and use the toolbar, or even leave the site minimized so you can use their toolbar anytime during the day that you want. But after a few days I did install the toolbar and it's made it way simpler. My DH & DS even use it to surf the web now. It was easy enough to install that even I, the computer challenged, did it in just a few minutes.

You could probably earn more if you search a lot. I really only go to the same few sites most of the time, and so don't use it too much but still have earned that much. You can also shop through a few links and earn some. Also they have twitter and facebook points that people can earn, but since I don't do either of those I haven't gotten them. So you can probably even earn more than I'm doing.

So click on the banner below and go check it out. If you have any question or comments, leave them here, or PM me. Also, post here if you join so I'll know who did! You'll get some extra bucks just for joining with the link.







**Disclosure** I do receive some referral bucks if you join, but HEY! Don't you want to reward me for turning you onto this easy way to earn gift cards? I wouldn't post this just for the referral bucks. I really DO think it's a great way to easily earn gift cards!

One of the MS members, hodgenkc, just PM'd me to tell me she'd earned her first $5 amazon GC in just 10 days!! And she was even gone for a few of the days and unable to earn!!
Congrats hodgenkc!!



Two more helpful hints for those of you who did join and installed the toolbar:

If you installed the tool bars, you'll find swagbucks "hidden" there. Now I'm no expert since I've only been doing it about a month, but here's my hints (again this is if you have the toolbar)

1). Next to the search box you'll see "Pamela you have XX SB". Then next to that you'll see an envelope that says "From TSG(0)". If that ever says (1) or any number except (0) you should check it immediately. It will tell you how to get free swagbucks. Usually there's something most days M-F, but I'm not sure if it's every day or not. I don't remember seeing anything on wknds there, but as I said I'm not really all that familiar myself yet. It's random times and it usually only lasts for a few hours. I tend to miss some of those, but have recently learned to keep an eye out for the (0) to become (1)

2). Further right is the tab that says SB News. If you click on that it goes to the blog. They'll usually post something in the blog just about every day to to get free swagbucks. Today when I checked there was a happy easter greeting. Well yesterday they had a happy passover greeting (Jewish) and when I read it it had a message to get your free swagbucks, so I figured the easter one did too. And it did! I usually just check the SB News blog thing a time or two a day. They only do about 4 posts or less per day so it only takes a minute to see if there's swag codes hidden in them.

I think I mentioned before that there are also ways to get them from facebook and twitter, but since I don't do either of those, I don't get those.

Hope these hints help you earn more!! P.S. I don't get anything extra from you doing these hints or earnings you get from doing them. I'm just being my usual adorable self!!

Don't know if I want to install the toolbar, my dh HATES toolbars from other sites, its an easy way for viruses to invade your puter.

Anyway, I just joined the facegroup group, (just do a search for Swagbucks) and the members there tell of diffrent ways to earn bucks too.

Ooops....didn't notice this until now. I agree that if people are uncomfortable with having a toolbar they shouldn't install it. I've had mine now for about 7wks of so and haven't had any trouble. All those blogs I go to all the time to enter sweepstakes have them and I haven't heard of anyone having any problems, but I guess you never know. I just know for me personally having it there reminds me and other members of my family to use it to search. I'm still earning about $5 every two weeks even without my referral bonuses. I'm going to have bunches of amazon dollars to spend this Christmas. I'm happy!!

If anyone still wants to sign up, clicking the link below will give you 30 swagbucks to start off.

I went ahead and installed the toolbar. I'm hoping to earn a GC soon, I'm only at 199 swagbucks. LOL Seems like its taking me forever to earn them! I do searches, but only earn like 11 or 12 at a time, and only about once or twice a day. I am never fast enough to use one of the codes. And how long does it take to get credit when you shop? I shopped through them this weekend, and spent close to $100 on summer clothes for my kids, but hasn't gotten credit for them yet. I guess I'm supposed to earn 2 swagbucks for every dollar spent?

I'm dying to earn something!! LOL!

I thought you might have installed it. I get a little thing about how much people who joined under me get from searching (not the other points you earn) and noticed you were earning them faster now. You're my 2nd or 3rd place person now since you've installed it. But hodgenkc is still kicking butts. She's earning them searching faster than I am!!

I don't know about the shopping through them. I've not done that yet. But dang, if you get 200 points for just that one purchase, it's pretty good! Let me know when you finally get the 450 & I'll celebrate with you!
