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.

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

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

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

Tip #12
Read the Blog

When big news breaks about Swag Bucks, it happens first on the Swag Bucks Blog! Find out about all the newest offers, prizes, and Swag Codes, all in one convenient location. Look for posts by The Swag Guy for exclusive Swag Buck opportunities!

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.

My Weekly Swag Bucks Stats

Account Summary
Swag Bucks: 5,872
Referrals: 61
Prizes Redeemed: 18 (14 $5 Amazon Gift Cards & 4 $20 Target Gift Cards)
Join date: 3/8/10

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!

My Swidget

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. :)
