My Swag Bucks Stats

July has been an awesome swag bucks month for me!!! I earned a total of $275 in Amazon gift cards! I earned (5) $5 cards, (2) $25 cards & (4) $50 cards! This has been my best month yet. I also met my goal and have surpassed 200 referrals! I'm currently at 201. :) I got credited for 2 games I traded in (679 SB's) and did some surveys and special offers to get so many gift cards. That's not to mention all the referral searches in July. I hope August turns out to be just as good!

Happy Swaiggin!

How to win BIG at Swag Bucks!

So many people ask me how I rack up so many swag bucks and so quickly. I've earned over $680 in gift cards in just over 4 months so I am going to tell you just how I do it.

First, in a word (repeated over and over) Referrals, Referrals, Referrals! That is the biggest and best way to rack up those swag bucks. Every one who you refer (your friends, family, co-workers and cyber friends) will earn you up to 1,000 swag bucks each. Every time they do a search, you get the same amount of swag bucks they win. So if they hit a 5, 10, 20, 50 or even 100 search, you will get the same and you will continue to earn their matching swag bucks (through searches only, not when they do offers or with swag codes) up until they reach 1,000 swag bucks. I have earned over 13,000 swag bucks so far just from referrals!

Second, do the special offers! I do them and I do a lot of them. I do not do the ones where you have to download something (unless it's a toolbar, and then I uninstall it when I am credited the swag bucks). There are a ton of special offers that earn you between 15-250 swag bucks that are free. I do a lot of the survey offers and use a special e-mail address when signing up that is just for special offers. This e-mail address gets tons of spam, but I rarely even check it. There are a few offers that I have done that get you tons of swag bucks (1,000 and more) that you have to join a book club, or gamefly (which I wanted to try anyway). I read books so much that I would have bought books anyway. So try the special offers, you will be surprised how fast your swag bucks will add up. Also, the best walls to do them on are Wall 2 (my favorite) and Wall 4. What I like about wall 4 is that users can post reviews about the offer so if it is an offer that takes a while to credit or doesn't credit at all, you will know that before doing the offer.

Third, trade in your used games (DS, Wii, PSP, Gameboy, etc.) for some big swag bucks. I traded in 4 of Amber's used DS games and received appx. 2,000 swag bucks. They even pay for the postage for you to send it to them and it takes between 1-3 weeks to get the credit.

Lastly, here are some other tips to earning daily swag bucks (they may be redundant, but well worth a repeat);

Tip #1
Need to search the web? Do it with Swagbucks.com.
www.swagbucks.com is the only place on the web where you can win exclusive prizes simply by doing the things you do anyway, everyday!

When searching the web, the best way to win Swag Bucks (and the only method we endorse) is to use the engine for genuine search and discovery. Our technology is designed to award users who search naturally — simply utilize our engine the way you would with other search providers.

Doing a ton of searches, or clicking on search results, will not increase your chances of winning in any way.

Tip #2
Get a Toolbar, Stay Connected and Win More.
If you use Internet Explorer or Firefox, the quickest way to win Swag Bucks is to have Swagbucks.com always at your finger tips. The swagbucks.com toolbar resides on the top of your browser and only takes seconds to install.

Tip #3
Invite Your Friends & When They Win, You Win!
The quickest way to win Swag Bucks is to get a little help from your friends! Invite your friends to Swagbucks.com and every Swag Buck they win searching the web, you'll win as well. Win up to 1,000 Swag Bucks per referral!

Tip #4
Want Swag Bucks quickly? Complete A Special Offer!
Got your eye on something special in the Swag Store? If you're saving up Swag Bucks but could use a little help, check out our Special Offers Page. You'll find rewarding promotions from major brands. Sign up only for the offers that sound right for you!

Tip #5
Do you shop online? Visit our Shop & Earn mall before you buy.
Odds are we've got the brands you're already looking for, and we'll give you Swag Bucks when you make your purchase through us!

Tip #6
Earn Swag Bucks and Reduce Your Carbon Footprint.
Got a new phone in the last few years? Then send us your old cell phone and we'll reward you Swag Bucks. Replace your old dust-collecting cellular with an exclusive swagbucks.com prize! There's no limit to how many phones you can recycle!

Tip #7
Make Swagbucks.com Your Home Page.
Click on the 'Make Us Your Home Page' link under the 'More' tab and make it easy to access Swagbucks.com.

Tip #8
Promote on Your Website, Social Profile, Blog or Email Signature.
Grab a Swagbucks.com banner and spread it around and make it easy for friends to sign up as your Swagbucks.com friend! Remember, each Swag Buck they win, you'll win too!

Tip #9
Keep Up With Our facebook/twitter Account
Discover what the folks behind Swag Bucks are thinking about and working on in real time! Our social media pages feature an informal community setting for you to gain insights and share your opinion. And don't be surprised if you stumble upon the occasional Swag Code!

Tip #10
Receive The Newsletter
Get all the most important updates delivered directly to your inbox with the Prodege monthly newsletter. Every email is packed with important news and tidbits to help you get more out of your Swag Bucks account.

Tip #11
Interact With The Polls

Our weekly polls page features topics and questions that matter to you! From everything Swag Bucks, to popular culture; news, and entertainment, the Polls page is consistently fresh, and always fun. Plus, if you submit a poll and we happen to use it, we'll award you with up to 10 Swag Bucks!

Tip #12

5 Tips to Finding Swagcodes!

1. Read the Blog. They put codes smack dab in the middle of blog posts sometimes, and if they don't put the code there, more times than not they'll post a clue on the blog, especially when the code is hidden elsewhere on the site.

2. Follow Swag Bucks on Twitter. You'll find TSG on Twitter most of the day, chatting it up with us Swaggernauts and letting us know about the goings on at Swagbucks HQ. He'll also tell us lots of times when codes are out and he might even put one out there just for the tweeps!

3. Be a Swag Bucks fan on Facebook. When a code has hit, you'll see the loyal Swaggernauts of Facebook thanking TSG. More than that they're really cool, really welcoming, and really helpful to those having trouble finding a code - they're more than happy to give you a hint if you need it.

4. Install the Toolbar. The toolbar is awesome. I've established that over and over. Sometimes they post codes just for the toolbar folks, so if you DON'T have the Toolbar, you're going to miss it!

5. Use the Swidget. You can see mine at the bottom of my blog. There's a button on the widget that you can use to check for codes! A code button! That tells you when there are codes! CRAZY!!! Not only that, it'll often tell you where to look and sometimes has its own special codes.

I got 12 new referrals this week and another $50 Amazon gift card bringing my total to $555 in gift cards in just 4 months! I actually got that last gift card exactly 4 months (on 7/8) after starting swag bucks. Not bad for 4 months worth of work!! Hopefully by the end of next week I can snag another $50 Amazon card. I'm averaging about $200-225 a month right now. :) You can do this too!!!

I think I may start doing daily stats again. I love to see how much I'm doing every day. I'll probably just post the stats with no comments until Saturday when I do my weekly stats.

Swag Bucks Search the Web & Win FAQ's

Good afternoon Swagernauts! I'm going to start today's blog post with some of the Search & Win Swag Bucks FAQ's

What are Swag Bucks?
Swag Bucks are the web's premier digital dollar. Accumulate at your own pace and redeem them for exclusive swagbucks.com prizes.

How do I win Swag Bucks?
Visit the How It Works page for more information on how to start accumulating Swag Bucks!

How long does it take to redeem prizes?
The frequency with which you use www.swagbucks.com, determines the length of time necessary to win top prizes.

Visit the Winning Tips page, to learn how to maximize your Swag Bucks account.

How are Swag Store prices determined?
The prices of Swag Store items are based on several indicators, including availability; cost of prize acquisition; shipping fees; and the dollar value of Swag Bucks. Swag Bucks do not have a preset value, but like other commodities will fluctuate according to the number in circulation, relative demand, and other external factors.

All items in the Swag Store are issued an "Original Price" at the time of their introduction. While some items may be discounted for temporary, promotional purposes, the price of any given prize will never exceed the "Original Price". Clicking on any item in the Swag Store will take you to a Product Details page, containing the Original Price, Discount Offers, and all other prize-specific information.

I have the Swag Bucks to redeem a prize, but I'm being told that I don't have enough. What's going on?
You can only redeem prizes on the site(s) where you've earned your Swag Bucks. If you've used multiple Swag Bucks-powered sites, you may want to visit the section titled "My Swag Bucks" in your account. There you can find a complete breakdown of your Swag Bucks account and how many Swag Bucks are available for you to spend, and on which particular site.

Can I transfer Swag Bucks from one Search&Win site to another?
Swag Bucks earned on one site cannot be used or transferred to another site. To ensure you are maximizing your Swag Bucks earnings, be sure to use the Search&Win site that has the prizes you want, at the best possible prices.

My friend registered under me, but I'm not receiving matching Swag Bucks. Why not?
When you refer a friend and they sign up with the link you send them, you are awarded matching Swag Bucks (within 48 hours) only for the Bucks they win while searching (up to a total of 1,000). You are not, however, awarded matching Bucks for those earned as a sign-up bonus, through Shop&Earn, from our trade-in programs, from entering Swag Codes, from Swagstakes, from friends of friends, or from any other method.

How Will I know If I Win Swag Bucks?
If yours is a winning search, you will see a congratulations screen featuring your Swag Bucks award immediately above your search results. You will never be directed away from your search.
Photobucket
Your current total will be automatically updated and displayed in the top bar.

How many Swag Bucks can I win?
You can win multiple Swag Bucks every day. Every search is a chance to win! Swag Bucks can be won in denominations ranging from 1 - 1,000. Refer friends to maximize your winning potential.

Do I need to register?
You do not need to register to receive swagbucks.com search results, however registration is required to begin collecting Swag Bucks. Accumulate Swag Bucks to redeem for exclusive swagbucks.com prizes and sweepstakes.

Do I improve my chances of winning Swag Bucks by using multiple Search&Win sites and/or clicking on links?
Absolutely not.

Will you spam me or track my searches?
NEVER! YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WILL NOT BE REPRODUCED, DIVULGED, OR SOLD!

Why am I being shown the rules screen when I try searching the web?
If our system detects "unnatural" search habits you may be shown the rules screen. This is often an indication that you are searching too frequently. Using swagbucks.com for natural search and discovery is the best way to earn Swag Bucks and avoid our rules page.

So if you have any questions, post them here and I will get an answer for you.

My Swidget

Check your swidget often to see if there are swag codes. :)

Amazon Cards - Now in 10-14 Days!

Well, I'm sure I'm not the only one that got their Amazon cards really late this past redemption period. They were due to us on the 1st of July and several people got them as late as the 5th (including me). Thankfully, they have changed the recemption process and now you will get your Amazon cards 10-14 days after claiming them instead of waiting until the 1st or the 17th. So now everyday is potentially Amazon day!!

Are you getting your 4 Bonus Bucks every day?

Just so you know, you have 4 different ways to earn your Bonus Bucks every day: No Obligation Special Offers (or NOSOs for short - click on the red "Go Now" button), the Swagbucks Toolbar (click the link to install the toolbar), Daily Polls and checking your Survey Dashboard.

Now I'm no math genius, but 4 Bonus Bucks every day means you have a guaranteed 120 bucks (on average) coming your way each month. They're all simple, low impact ways to pad your numbers.

Do you grab all 4 Bonus Bucks every day?

New Swag Bucks Feature - Trusted Surveys

TSG couldn't be more excited to introduce a HUGE new feature that can earn you daily Swag Bucks and give you a chance to earn BIG Swag Bucks every day: Swag Bucks Trusted Surveys!

Many of you are familiar with online surveys, and you may not have the highest opinion of them. Frankly, I don't blame you. Many sites that offer "surveys" are invasive, ugly, and disrespectful with the information they ultimately collect.

Swag Bucks Trusted Surveys are different! All the information that you fill out in the surveys is confidential. Period. They searched the internet far and wide in order to bring you the most reliable, trustworthy platform.

Swag Bucks Trusted Surveys hooks you up in two ways:

1) Visit your Survey dashboard once a day to be eligible to earn a Swag Bucks.

That's right, Trusted Surveys join the Daily Poll, Toolbar, and No Obligation Special Offers (NOSOs) as the fourth way to earn a Swag Buck every day. That's 120 Swag Bucks you can be adding to your account every month.

2) Fill out Profiles and Surveys to receive targeted Surveys which payout BIG Swag Bucks.

Your personalized Survey dashboard is constantly being updated with new opportunities. What you see in the morning, is not necessarily what you'll see in the afternoon, and not what you'll see in the evening.

Here's what else you need to know: Swag Bucks Surveys are open to any user who has been on Swagbucks.com for at least one week's time. If you are brand new to the site, you will need to stick around for at least 7 days to open up this feature, but it's worth the wait!

For everybody else, you can begin earning Swag Bucks NOW. Start by finding the Surveys link under the "Ways To Earn" menu item in the top bar, or the Quick Links on the left hand side of our homepage.

After agreeing to get started, you'll have to fill out a secure information form that they'll use to bring you the surveys that you're most likely to qualify for.

I have to emphasize the importance of being thorough and honest when you fill out the information form - if not, you aren't helping anyone because you'll be brought trusted surveys that you'll have a much lower chance of qualifying for, which in turn affects your earning ability. I can't stress enough that you won't get as much out of this if you aren't completely honest.

There is, however, one survey that has a 100% chance of awarding you Swag Bucks, and that's the Swagbucks satisfaction survey that takes about 10 minutes to complete and will earn you 20 Swag Bucks.

Another point to mention: these surveys take time - sometimes up to 45 minutes. And sometimes you can spend 5-10 minutes answering pre-survey questionnaires only to discover that you don't qualify for the survey. I know that's frustrating, but it's the only way to ensure that you are a qualified user. Completing all your profiles honestly and accurately will help reduce the likelihood that they show you the low percentage likelihood surveys.

Ultimately, you need to decide whether these surveys are worth your time. If you decide that it's not, that is fine. Don't participate.

If you want to earn the BIG bucks (which you can, since the trusted surveys dashboard is updated several times a day), being accurate in your answers is the only way.

As soon as you land on the Survey dashboard, you can start earning Bucks right away by completing "profiles". These are general question surveys about your specific interests. The information you complete here is always secure, and NEVER shared with any advertisers. In total, there are 18 profiles that take 10-25 minutes to complete and earn you between 10-25 Swag Bucks. Once you've earned the Bucks for a particular profile you cannot earn them again. Completing these profiles accurately can be doubly rewarding since having that information will help us bring you more targeted Trusted Survey opportunities.

Everyone at Swagbucks Central is really excited to bring you Swagbucks Trusted Surveys - it's going to mean more bucks more often for the Swag Nation.

Is that EVER a bad thing?

Not a bad Swag week last week. I got a lot of new referrals and I didn't do many offers, I think I will quit doing them for a while. Most of the swag bucks came from referral searches. It's nice to not really have to do much to rack up those swag bucks. Amber wants an iPod and I will be able to get her one for FREE on June 17 thanks to Swag Bucks!!

Not a bad week with winning over 3,000 swag bucks! I also snagged 2 more gift cards (a $50 Amazon card and a $5 Amazon card). I hope to snag another $50 Amazon card by the end of next week. Wish me luck!!

As for offers, I finally got credited for the Disney offer (1,110 swag bucks). It only took a MONTH! Other than that I've only done a few little offers this week. Not too many.

So here's to another great Swaggin' week ahead!!

Friday = MEGA Swag Bucks Day!

Don't forget, today is Mega Swag Bucks day. That means you have a better chance of winning Swag Bucks in denominations of 20, 30, 50 and even 100 SB's in a single search!

So...let's get Swaggin'!

And, don't forget to check the Swidget for Swag Codes often throughout the day. :)

How to Win Big at Swag Bucks!

So many people ask me how I rack up so many swag bucks and so quickly. I've earned over $325 in gift cards in just under 3 months so I am going to tell you just how I do it.

First, in a word (repeated over and over) Referrals, Referrals, Referrals! That is the biggest and best way to rack up those swag bucks. Every one who you refer (your friends, family, co-workers and cyber friends) will earn you up to 1,000 swag bucks each. Every time they do a search, you get the same amount of swag bucks they win. So if they hit a 5, 10, 20, 50 or even 100 search, you will get the same and you will continue to earn their matching swag bucks (through searches only, not when they do offers or with swag codes) up until they reach 1,000 swag bucks. I have earned over 13,000 swag bucks so far just from referrals!

Second, do the special offers! I do them and I do a lot of them. I do not do the ones where you have to download something (unless it's a toolbar, and then I uninstall it when I am credited the swag bucks). There are a ton of special offers that earn you between 15-250 swag bucks that are free. I do a lot of the survey offers and use a special e-mail address when signing up that is just for special offers. This e-mail address gets tons of spam, but I rarely even check it. There are a few offers that I have done that get you tons of swag bucks (1,000 and more) that you have to join a book club, or gamefly (which I wanted to try anyway). I read books so much that I would have bought books anyway. So try the special offers, you will be surprised how fast your swag bucks will add up. Also, the best walls to do them on are Wall 2 (my favorite) and Wall 4. What I like about wall 4 is that users can post reviews about the offer so if it is an offer that takes a while to credit or doesn't credit at all, you will know that before doing the offer.

Third, trade in your used games (DS, Wii, PSP, Gameboy, etc.) for some big swag bucks. I traded in 4 of Amber's used DS games and received appx. 2,000 swag bucks. They even pay for the postage for you to send it to them and it takes between 1-3 weeks to get the credit.

Lastly, here are some other tips to earning daily swag bucks (they may be redundant, but well worth a repeat);

Tip #1
Need to search the web? Do it with Swagbucks.com.
www.swagbucks.com is the only place on the web where you can win exclusive prizes simply by doing the things you do anyway, everyday!

When searching the web, the best way to win Swag Bucks (and the only method we endorse) is to use the engine for genuine search and discovery. Our technology is designed to award users who search naturally — simply utilize our engine the way you would with other search providers.

Doing a ton of searches, or clicking on search results, will not increase your chances of winning in any way.

5 Tips to Finding Swagcodes!

1. Read the Blog. They put codes smack dab in the middle of blog posts sometimes, and if they don't put the code there, more times than not they'll post a clue on the blog, especially when the code is hidden elsewhere on the site.

2. Follow Swag Bucks on Twitter. You'll find TSG on Twitter most of the day, chatting it up with us Swaggernauts and letting us know about the goings on at Swagbucks HQ. He'll also tell us lots of times when codes are out and he might even put one out there just for the tweeps!

3. Be a Swag Bucks fan on Facebook. When a code has hit, you'll see the loyal Swaggernauts of Facebook thanking TSG. More than that they're really cool, really welcoming, and really helpful to those having trouble finding a code - they're more than happy to give you a hint if you need it.

4. Install the Toolbar. The toolbar is awesome. I've established that over and over. Sometimes they post codes just for the toolbar folks, so if you DON'T have the Toolbar, you're going to miss it!

5. Use the Swidget. You can see mine at the bottom of my blog. There's a button on the widget that you can use to check for codes! A code button! That tells you when there are codes! CRAZY!!! Not only that, it'll often tell you where to look and sometimes has its own special codes.

Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I will do better in the weeks to come, I promise. Well, it has been one huge Swaggin' week. In just one week I have earned 5,615 swag bucks! By the end of today I should be able to snag a $50 Amazon e-gift card! Can't wait to spend that (or better yet, save it!). Amber is really bugging me for a DSi which I refuse to buy her when she has a good DS she is using now. So, if I get it for FREE with SB money, then that is much better. She won't get it for nothing though, it will either be for her birthday or Christmas.

Well, I did do a few offers to get some extra swag bucks this week. I did the gamefly offer (had been wanting to try this out anyway) and got 1,020 for it. I also did another book club offer and got 680 swag bucks. Other than that, it has been mostly swag bucks from searches and referral searches. Maybe this weekend I'll post some tips on getting referrals. Oh, yes, I also donated 120 swag bucks to the Nashville flood relief. :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

It's been almost 2 months since I joined and I have already earned so many gift cards! I'm just lovin' this! Since starting I have won nearly 16,000 swag bucks (in just under 2 months!, Wow!). So that's about 8,000 a month and about 1,750 swag bucks in a week. The referrals surely help! Plus I love doing special offers (the free ones mostly). I hope the next two months are just as profitable! Here's to a great Swaggin' week!

A Great Week for Swag Bucks!

THIS week is shaping up to be HUGE for us Swaggernauts, because they're giving away more Swag Bucks all week.

All this week our chances of multiple wins in a day have increased dramatically, so you'll be winning 3, 4 or even 5 times every day this week. Also, there will be more variations on the amounts won - already today I've seen wins for 22, 24 and even 27 Swag Bucks from a SINGLE SEARCH!

Keep Searching, Keep Winning and Keep Sharing!

One last thing, I am going to change my daily updates to weekly (Wendnesday) updates. :)

Winning Tips!

Here are some Swag Bucks "Winning Tips." I thought this was worthy of a re-post. :)

Tip #1
Need to search the web? Do it with Swagbucks.com.
www.swagbucks.com is the only place on the web where you can win exclusive prizes simply by doing the things you do anyway, everyday!

When searching the web, the best way to win Swag Bucks (and the only method we endorse) is to use the engine for genuine search and discovery. Our technology is designed to award users who search naturally — simply utilize our engine the way you would with other search providers.

Doing a ton of searches, or clicking on search results, will not increase your chances of winning in any way.

Tip #2

Well, I got my 2nd $20 Target card today. Can't wait to spend the $40 and actually hoping to earn one more $20 Target card before the end of the month. $60 will be much more fun to spend. I've done a few speical offers in the last few days that have gotten me some mega swag bucks. One was the Columbia House DVD club offer on wall 3 and another was the BOTM2 offer on wall 2. Both were around 1,000 SB's each! Check out the new special offer wall 4. They have a rating system on each offer so be sure and see what people are saying about the offers before doing them. That way you can tell if you get credited quickly for the swag bucks. Nice new feature!

That is it for this week in my status updates. I will update my SB status again on Monday.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Friday = MEGA Swag Bucks Day!

Don't forget, today is Mega Swag Bucks day. That means you have a better chance of winning Swag Bucks in denominations of 20, 30, 50 and even 100 SB's in a single search!

So...let's get Swaggin'!

And, don't forget to check the Swidget for Swag Codes often throughout the day. :)

Finally got my Target card! :) Can't wait to spend it. I may get another one before the end of the month. I'm hoping you can stack them like you can the Amazon cards. I have 2 new referrals since this time yesterday. I did one offer today and it was the Columbia House offer. I got 920 SB's for it within minutes of completing the offer. Since I started SB's I have earned a total of 8,024 swag bucks! Not bad for a little over a month.

I'm up 307 SB's over this time yesterday. I also have 3 new referrals (thanks!). Those referalls really help in racking in those SB's. I need just 75 more SB's to get a $20 Target giftcard, which I plan on doing either today or tomorrow. I can't get anymore Amazon $5 giftcards this month, so I'm switching to the Target ones for the rest of the month.

Hope everyone is having a great Hump Day!

Up 436 SB's over yesterday at this time. Also have 3 more referrals. I did do one of the auto insurance quote offers today on Wall 1 (free section) and earned 210 SB's. They were credited to my account within 5 minutes!! Since today is a week since I've started taking stats, I'm going to start with my weekly stats. So, since last Tuesday, I've earned 1,686 SB's. I'd like to keep my weekly average around 1,250-1,500 a week. I think I did pretty good this last week!

Go Green & Earn Swag Bucks!

Photobucket

One way to Go Green at Swag Bucks is to trade-in your old cell phones. So many of us are after the next cool phone, so why let your old phone just collect dust when you can do something good for the environment (and your Swag Bucks stash)? Proof positive that you get more more green (and blue) when you Go Green!

Also, the month of April is Green Month!

All through Green Month month Swag Bucks is giving you two major incentives to do the right thing for your planet and your Swag Bucks account.

1) Earn a bonus of 50% above your quoted redemption value on the Go Green page!

Be a responsible citizen and take part in the cellular phone recycling program - you earn Swag Bucks no matter what month it is! However, since this is Green Month at the end of April SB will be awarding everyone who sent in their phone with a one time bonus of 50% more Swag Bucks!

2) Once you've traded in your old cell phone get a new activation through the Swag Bucks Cellular Store and you'll get a bonus of 1,000 Swag Bucks! That's on top of the 50% more you got for your cell phone trade in! And the Swag Bucks keep on rollin'...

This is what Green Month is all about - rewarding you for doing the little things it takes to make big changes.

Did you know you can also trade in your used games for Swag Bucks? I traded in one of Amber's DS games and got 304 Swag Bucks for it (in about 3 weeks after mailing). I also mailed her game for free! You should check out the Trade In page at Swag Bucks if you have games that your child no longer plays.

I think I'm only going to do my stats on weekdays since the weekends seem to be really slow in the Swag Bucks world! Since I can't get anymore $5 Amazon cards this month (I got all 5 of them in the first week of the month!) I may just get a $20 Target card when I have enough. I think you need 2,300 for that. I wonder if you can stack Target cards like you can Amazon. Does anyone know?

Anyway, here's to a great Swaggin' week!

Shop & Earn

Did you know that a lot of the stores that you shop at online could earn you Swag Bucks? There are so many stores in the Swag Bucks Shop & Earn site that you can earn 2 SB's for every dollar you spend! Here are a few of my favorite Shop & Earn stores:

Hanna Andersson
Avon
Barnes & Noble
Macy's
Target
Wal-Mart
Sam's Club
Crocs Footwear
Justice (formerly Limited Too)
Elizabeth Arden
Overstock.com

and the list goes on and on and on...

You may already be shopping at these stores online and didn't even realize you could be earning Swag Bucks while you do it! They also have coupons available for most of the stores that you can use in conjunction with earning Swag Bucks!

I'm up 279 SB's over yesterday at this time. I have 1 more referral. I've redeemed 4,500 swag bucks for $50 in Amazon gift cards. I've already redeemed my 5 for this month so I can't redeem anymore Amazon $5 gift cards until May 1. If I have enough SB's by the end of the month, I could redeem them for a $25 Amazon GC or a $20 Target GC. At this rate, I will definitely have enough.

So far today, I have only gotten 23 SB's in 2 searches. I did one offer today which got me 20 SB's. It was on Wall 3 under "free", the one about signing up to qualify for scholarships. You basically just had to fill out a form to earn the SB's and they were in my account within minutes. :)

Hope everyone is having a great Swaggin' day so far!

Swag Bucks Special Offers

Have you visited the Swag Bucks Special Offers page yet? This is a great way to win tons of Swag Bucks! I think I've earned about 1,000 SB's so far just for doing Special Offers! And the best part is that you can do the offers for FREE!! I haven't paid a cent to do any of the offers. There are 3 walls you can search through to see a special offer that is right for you. Wall #2, by OfferPal is the one I use the most. I always click on "Free" at the top of the wall so that it shows me only the offers that won't cost you any money. I don't usually do the offers where you need to download something, just for fear of malware, etc. being dumped on my harddrive, so do those at your own risk. There are several though that you just need to give your e-mail address to sign up for a newsletter. I've created an e-mail address just for these type of offers. I will post everyday in my "Daily SB Stats" post which special offers I have done that day. I don't do too many a day, and sometimes none a day, but they do help me rack up those SB's and fast! So check out the special offers page and start winning even more Swag Bucks today!!

Oh, one more thing before I close this post. On the Special Offers page, click on "View Our No Obligation Offers And WIN Swag Bucks" daily to earn 2-4 Swag Bucks instantly. You just go through about 6-8 pages of offers that you can click "no thanks" or "skip" on and you will get those Swag Bucks at the end. It's so easy!!

So, let's get our Swag on!

Swag Bucks Search the Web & Win FAQ's

Good morning Swagernauts! I'm going to start today's blog post with some of the Search & Win Swag Bucks FAQ's

What are Swag Bucks?
Swag Bucks are the web's premier digital dollar. Accumulate at your own pace and redeem them for exclusive swagbucks.com prizes.

How do I win Swag Bucks?
Visit the How It Works page for more information on how to start accumulating Swag Bucks!

How long does it take to redeem prizes?
The frequency with which you use www.swagbucks.com, determines the length of time necessary to win top prizes.

Visit the Winning Tips page, to learn how to maximize your Swag Bucks account.

How are Swag Store prices determined?
The prices of Swag Store items are based on several indicators, including availability; cost of prize acquisition; shipping fees; and the dollar value of Swag Bucks. Swag Bucks do not have a preset value, but like other commodities will fluctuate according to the number in circulation, relative demand, and other external factors.

All items in the Swag Store are issued an "Original Price" at the time of their introduction. While some items may be discounted for temporary, promotional purposes, the price of any given prize will never exceed the "Original Price". Clicking on any item in the Swag Store will take you to a Product Details page, containing the Original Price, Discount Offers, and all other prize-specific information.

I have the Swag Bucks to redeem a prize, but I'm being told that I don't have enough. What's going on?
You can only redeem prizes on the site(s) where you've earned your Swag Bucks. If you've used multiple Swag Bucks-powered sites, you may want to visit the section titled "My Swag Bucks" in your account. There you can find a complete breakdown of your Swag Bucks account and how many Swag Bucks are available for you to spend, and on which particular site.

Can I transfer Swag Bucks from one Search&Win site to another?
Swag Bucks earned on one site cannot be used or transferred to another site. To ensure you are maximizing your Swag Bucks earnings, be sure to use the Search&Win site that has the prizes you want, at the best possible prices.

My friend registered under me, but I'm not receiving matching Swag Bucks. Why not?
When you refer a friend and they sign up with the link you send them, you are awarded matching Swag Bucks (within 48 hours) only for the Bucks they win while searching (up to a total of 1,000). You are not, however, awarded matching Bucks for those earned as a sign-up bonus, through Shop&Earn, from our trade-in programs, from entering Swag Codes, from Swagstakes, from friends of friends, or from any other method.

How Will I know If I Win Swag Bucks?
If yours is a winning search, you will see a congratulations screen featuring your Swag Bucks award immediately above your search results. You will never be directed away from your search.
Photobucket
Your current total will be automatically updated and displayed in the top bar.

How many Swag Bucks can I win?
You can win multiple Swag Bucks every day. Every search is a chance to win! Swag Bucks can be won in denominations ranging from 1 - 1,000. Refer friends to maximize your winning potential.

Do I need to register?
You do not need to register to receive swagbucks.com search results, however registration is required to begin collecting Swag Bucks. Accumulate Swag Bucks to redeem for exclusive swagbucks.com prizes and sweepstakes.

Do I improve my chances of winning Swag Bucks by using multiple Search&Win sites and/or clicking on links?
Absolutely not.

Will you spam me or track my searches?
NEVER! YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WILL NOT BE REPRODUCED, DIVULGED, OR SOLD!

Why am I being shown the rules screen when I try searching the web?
If our system detects "unnatural" search habits you may be shown the rules screen. This is often an indication that you are searching too frequently. Using swagbucks.com for natural search and discovery is the best way to earn Swag Bucks and avoid our rules page.

My Daily 2:00 p.m. SB Stats!

Ok, as of right now I have 476 SB's. That's up 194 SB's from yesterday at 2:00 p.m. :) So far it has been a slow day today. I've only gotten 20 SB's from 2 searches. No Swag Codes as of yet either! I will post if there is one. :)

5 Tips for finding Swag Codes!

This is worth a repost! :)

1. Read the Blog. They put codes smack dab in the middle of blog posts sometimes, and if they don't put the code there, more times than not they'll post a clue on the blog, especially when the code is hidden elsewhere on the site.

2. Follow Swag Bucks on Twitter. You'll find TSG on Twitter most of the day, chatting it up with us Swaggernauts and letting us know about the goings on at Swagbucks HQ. He'll also tell us lots of times when codes are out and he might even put one out there just for the tweeps!

3. Be a Swag Bucks fan on Facebook. When a code has hit, you'll see the loyal Swaggernauts of Facebook thanking TSG. More than that they're really cool, really welcoming, and really helpful to those having trouble finding a code - they're more than happy to give you a hint if you need it.

4. Install the Toolbar. The toolbar is awesome. I've established that over and over. Sometimes they post codes just for the toolbar folks, so if you DON'T have the Toolbar, you're going to miss it!

5. Use the Swidget. You can see mine at the bottom of my blog. There's a button on the widget that you can use to check for codes! A code button! That tells you when there are codes! CRAZY!!! Not only that, it'll often tell you where to look and sometimes has its own special codes.

Introducing Amber

Just wanted to introduce everyone to my reason for everything! This is my daughter, Amber Nicole, who is 9 years old and in the 3rd grade. She benefits from all of my Amazon spending with Swag Bucks! LOL She loves History, gymnastics, swimming & ice skating. She is the reason behind my Gymboree addiction although she doesn't wear it as much as she used to. I'm trying to keep her in Gymbo for as long as I can though!!

Swag Bucks!!

Just one month ago, on March 8, I discovered Swag Bucks!! Now I want to blog about my journey to FREE stuff! In just a month I have earned $50 in Amazon gift cards and I will admit, I've already spent $25 of it! My daughter, Amber, will be pleased when she gets her package in the mail. It is SO easy to get free gift cards just by searching the web, so let me tell you all about it!!

Swagbucks.com is an online portal dedicated to helping you earn digital dollars called "Swag Bucks", which can be redeemed for exclusive swagbucks.com merchandise. You can earn gift cards (Amazon, Target, Macy's, JC Penney, etc.), PayPal $$ deposited right into your PayPal account, trading cards, electronics, the list goes on and on. The easiest way to earn Swag Bucks is by searching the web. You are already going to do this anyway, right, so just use the Swag Bucks search engine and earn swags bucks along the way. You don't earn swag bucks with every search, but when you do you earn demoniations of 10 - 100 swag bucks (SB's) at a time! You can also shop their list of so many online stores and earn 2 SB's for ever $1 you spend at such shops as Target, Hanna Andersson, Game Stop, Wal-Mart, etc. Then you can also earn SB's by doing special offers (and most are FREE to do) and you get LOTS of SB's when doing them!

It is just so easy, it's a no brainer! Like I said, I've been doing it for just 1 month and have already earned $50 in Amazon $$! You can too!! Click on the link below to sign up now!!

Search & Win

I will post daily with my SB's earnings, redemptions, and Swag Codes which you can use to earn even more FREE swag bucks!

Today, at 2:00 p.m., I have 282 SB's. I've redeemed 4,500 so far for $50 in Gift Cards at Amazon!
