I have earned some great gift cards this year – all courtesy of Swagbucks!  Here’s just a few of the gift cards I’ve received from my participation with Swagbucks (through the end of August):

1. $250 worth of Amazon gift cards (and I’ll earn another $250 by the end of the year!)
2. $100 worth of Target gift cards
3. $25 worth of Starbucks gift cards

People are always asking me what Swagbucks is all about.  So, here it is in a nutshell!

Swagbucks is money in your pocket – for doing the things you already do on the computer!

Tips to Maximize Your Swagbucks

• You can get 4 Swagbucks each day just by doing the Bonus Buck Checklist (Daily Poll, No Obligation Special Offer, Use the Toolbar, Sign In For Surveys). 
• Install the Swagbucks toolbar and begin using it for searches.  It’s easy, harmless to your computer and will reap lots of rewards for you!  Generally, you can get Swabucks for at least 3-4 searches a day, which translates to 30-40 Swagbucks on the low end a day for searching. 
• Complete a “NOSO” (No Obligation Special Offer) to get more Swagbucks.   It takes no time to do and you simply “skip” through the ads to claim your Swagbucks. 
• Complete a “Daily Poll” and you’ll get 1 Swagbuck daily.  It’s easy and only takes a minute!
• Sign in to complete a “Trusted Survey” and you’ll receive 1 Swagbuck daily. 
• Check the Swagbucks swidget on our blog.  It’s the black box on the right side of the home page.  It will tell you if there is an active Swagcode and sometimes there is even a code in the swidget.
• Read TSG (the Swag Guy) Blog daily.  You can find it on Swagbucks homepage or on your toolbar.  There are always hints about the current Swagcodes or key information about Swagcodes. 
• Follow Swagbucks on Facebook and Twitter.  You’ll be glad you did because there are codes posted on Twitter and hints posted on Facebook all the time.  Check both pages throughout the day.  Hint:  if you see alot of “Thanks, TSG” postings on Facebook, you’ll know that there is a code out!
• Friday is Mega Swagbucks Day – you get lots more Swagbucks for your searches on the Swagbucks tool bar on Friday!!
• Get 50 Swagbucks on your birthday!  Woo hoo!
• Trade in cell phones, mp3 players, and video equipment and earn Swagbucks.  I haven’t done this but I know people who have and they say it is so easy!
• Shop online!  Use the Shop & Earn feature on Swagbucks and get 2 Swagbucks for each dollar you spend at great online stores.  There are a ton of great online shops to choose from like:  ITunes, Target, Wal-Mart, Macy’s, Kohl’s, Sears, JOS A Bank, Disney Store, Chadwicks, Lillian Vernon, Barnes & Noble, PetCo, Ulta, Avon, Best Buy, Snapfish, Delta Airlines, Dollar Rent A Car, HotWire, Marriott Hotels, and lots more!
• Refer your friends to join Swagbucks.  You earn points from referrals!

Don’t Know What Swagbucks Is?

Still haven’t joined Swagbucks yet?  Why not?!  It is such an easy and fun way to earn rewards like gift cards and merchandise!
