Hey Collin,

It seems like everyone is winning 21 SwagBucks for their searches (I won 21 bucks too!!!). This is likely due to the SwagBucks.com difficulties everyone is having today. The site is still working off and on but it’s definitely worth a shot! One of my readers won 21 bucks… 3 times…. within 10 minutes!

Let us know if you win 21 Swagbucks too! 🙂

Here are a few other ways to earn Swagbucks, for those of you just starting out:

You can earn 1 Swagbuck daily by heading to the “Special Offers” section. Just go to the Swagbucks homepage, click on “Ways to Earn” in the top left, then click on “Special Offers” and click on the “View Our No Obligation Offers And WIN Swag Bucks” on the right. One you get to this page, it will state, “Welcome to Swag Bucks Special Offers. Sign up for the free money-saving offers you like, feel free to skip the rest, and find a special swag code reward at the end.” Skip ALL the offers by clicking the skip button or the See Next Offer button beneath the advertisement. Finally after about 4 to 7 pages you’ll be awarded with 1 Swagbuck.

…AND you can earn an additional Swagbuck by doing Trusted Surveys! All you have to do is click on the Trusted Surveys link at the top of the page under “Ways to Earn” and you will score 1 Swagbuck – everyday! Plus, you can also answer the poll of the day daily to score 1 swagbuck!

Also, you can earn additional Swagbucks by joining Swaptree. Check out all the details here. Plus, you can earn 50 FREE Swagbucks on your birthday! …And finally, if you really want to rack up the Swagbucks quickly, then go to the “Special Offers” section and click on “Sign Up For Limited Time Offers And Earn Swag Bucks”. There are lots and lots of limited time offers that you can sign up for to earn Swagbucks. Some of these offers are for free trials and require NO money out of pocket. Some are completely FREE offers. I would take your time and browse through these offers. I’m sure you’ll find a few that you can complete and that will definitely help you earn your first Swagbucks reward pretty quickly!

Remember, it ONLY takes 450 Swagbucks to earn a $5 Amazon gift card!

    I just got 2 back to back (10 SB each)….never had that happen before. Not as good as 21 each, but I’ll take it! 🙂

  2. Sonia

    I think the people who do “midnight bucks” got all the 21s. It looks like 10s this morning, but it’s still good.

    • Rachael

      What are midnight bucks?

  3. bfam

    Only 10 for me, but I’ll take what I can get!

  4. stacy

    10 for me too but points add up.. just cashed in my points for paypal money! sweeeeeeeeeet.. 15 dolla

  5. shannon

    yeah i got 10 also, oh well, ill take it! i thought i saw a restaurant.com gift certificate on swag bucks, has anyone had good experiences with that site?

    • andrea

      I’ve used restaurant.com and been very satisfied. Just read the fine print—usually there’s a minimum spend (ex. for a $25 gift certificate, you must spend $35—but we have a large family so that is never a problem). We’ve tried some restaurants we had never been to before that way.

  6. danielle

    got 10 this morning..better than nothing!

    thanks for posting about the awesomeness of Swagbucks..i’ve been a member for almost a year, but didn’t really use it til March…i’ve been able to get $150 in amazon gift cards since then.

  7. Valerie

    I won 50 SB for my first search!! Yay! 🙂

    • Alea

      I did too – first time EVER!!! 🙂

      • fran

        Way to go, Valerie and Alea 😀

    • Melissa H.

      That’s awsome!

  8. fairydust

    Just got 10 – I’ll take ’em!

  9. brittney

    I’m very frustrated… I got to my 45o swagbucks a while back and submitted for my $5 Amazon.com card and never recieved it. Has anyone else had this problem???

    • Angel

      did you verify the order through your email. You won’t get it until you do that. And they only post 2 times a month. I think the 15th and the 30th

  10. Melissa

    If i cash in and get several of the $5 amazon gift cards can i then use several gift cards for one purchase? I just don’t understand why someone would by the $25 amazon gift card if you can 5 of the $5 gift cards for less points.

    • Beth

      I think the only reason you would get the $25 card is if you can’t get anymore $5 cards for the month. I think the limit is 5. If you are religious about your swagbucks, you will probably have too many to convert all to $5 cards…..

      Also, once you get your gift cards, you can use as many as you want on a transaction. If you have an Amazon account you will just load all of the numbers onto your account and you can choose those as your payment method.

    • fran

      Yes, Melissa, you can use multiple gift cards for one purchase. What you do is, when you get your AGC codes, enter them into your Amazon account, and when you purchase something, it will be deducted from your total in your account.

    • andrea

      I had four $5 Amazon gift cards and applied them all to one purchase. I bought 4 books that were listed in the 4-for-3 titles, which brought the total to a little above $25. I got free shipping on that, and at checkout the price of the fourth book came off so between that promo and my gift cards, I paid something like 80-cents for four American GIrls mystery books that one of my daughters will be receiving for Christmas.

    Has anyone else been having issues searching with their toolbar? I have had problems yesterday and today, where nothing comes up. It works sometimes, but others I get nothing.

    • Histengr

      I’ve been having lots of problems with that, too, over the last couple of days. I read on one of these blogs that swagbucks was working on their site. Maybe that’s why?

      • Sam

        I was definitely having a lot of problems with this yesterday, which finally I just resorted to using Google. However, last night LATE, I was winning ALL types of Swagbucks. I had never had anything like that happen before! So I guess it made up for it!

    • Christi

      I haven’t been able to do any searches with my swagbucks toolbar or from the website…I don’t know whats wrong with it

  12. fran

    Midnight bucks was crazy last night! I got 21 3 times within 21 minutes. Some were getting 4 wins. Every win was 21, nothing lower. I believe there were a few 50 wins in there also. The wall was moving so fast, with all the wins. It was great!
    And the good thing for me was, I wasn’t able to log into facebook for a week, and last night I was finally able to log into my account, so I was able to share on their wall with the others.

  13. Cindy

    Swagbucks hasn’t been online (for me) in 2 days. Irritating. I can’t use the search bar either. I just get “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.”

    • Kelsey

      Same with me :-/

  14. Pinky

    I just signed up and can not figure out where the instant win is. When I click on offers I don’t see that option. Can anyone help navigate me to the right area?

    • fran

      I’m guessing you mean search wins. If you have the SBs tool bar, you can search from there or you can use the “search the web” box at the top of the home page. You just type in something you want to search, and if you won on that search, you will see “Congratulations, you won ?” One in a while, you will need to do a captcha to claim your bucks. You need to do it in all caps, and you need to do it quickly. You won’t get your bucks unless you do the captcha correctly, which is no big deal…it’s only 3 letters.
      If this doesn’t answer your question, Pinky, let me know and I’ll see if I can help you further.

    swag bucks not working for me….. 🙁

    • Teresa

      Me, either. They had a problem yesterday, too. I was able to get on last night again, but not this morning:(

  16. savdoc2

    I got a 10 this morning but have seen quite a few others post 8’s.

  17. hmolah

    Woohoo! 50 swagbucks! Just for searing the web!?! I have no clue what to search for, but I can search and search! lol

  18. Regina

    I won 50!!!! First time I have ever really did the swagbucks things to!!

  19. Paulette

    I’ve heard Collin talk about swagbucks a lot but never looked into it. I decided to sign up today. I got 30 bucks for signing up, 1 for the toolbar and 20 on my first search…not bad I say!!!

  20. Lori

    Shannon, even thought the restaurant.com certificates are worth $25 they can be bought most of the time at the end of the month for $2 on that site itself. 400 swagbucks for a $2 item seems like a really poor value to me. Just wanted to point that out.

    • andrea

      Yeah, I use mine for Amazon gift cards. It’s going to help pay for Christmas (and for the three of six kids’ birthdays that fall within a month of Christmas). I’ve gotten a lot of great books off Amazon with the gift cards.

  21. Christy

    I got 10 … better than nothing. Just glad it’s working again! I missed my Swag.

  22. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Have you guys been paying attention to see if they are actually added to your account? I just won ten and when I checked the next search page I had the same amount before I won the 10 so they are not adding on.

  23. Anonymous

    the swagbucks site isn’t working at all for me 🙁

  24. Cindy

    The site is down. I was able to get back-to-back wins for 10 SB each earlier this morning. Once the site is up again, don’t forget to look for the videos on the gWallet and Offerpal walls. The ones on gWallet can often be viewed more than once for points.

  25. Natasha

    I alreayd got 10 points 3 times today!

  26. Julie

    Glad to see I’m not the only one having problems with the site! I thought it was just my stupid computer. It was in and out for me yesterday too. I cannot even complain about it because I can’t get the page to load.

  27. Tricia

    SB is off and on for me, and has been for the last couple of days. The latest update on the site says it’s cycling, and they’re working on it. While they are, just keep trying. A lot of winning in between total failures, but some of them flashed on and off the screen instantly. Since they were the ones you have to enter a code for, I didn’t get the Bucks until I hit the back button to return to the page. Still I’ve accrued over 40 SBs this morning, so I’ll forgive them their issues!

  28. Pinky

    Okay so I finally figure out where to go to try and get the swag bucks and how to scroll or skip through the adds but now I am stuck on a Publishers Clearing house add that has no skip???? any advice?

  29. Jennifer

    It wasn’t working for me at first…then I just got a search to go through and 50 SWAGBUCKS!!!

  30. kbmum

    I was able to get in a few minutes ago and scored my third 10 SB for the day (two web searches and one image search). I haven’t had a good day like this with searching since last spring!

  31. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I dont see where it says View Our No Obligation Offers And WIN Swag Bucks?

    • Sarah

      Same here. I do not see for special offers. They changed the format of that page and I have not been able to find it in a while to claim the swagbuck in that section. Can someone please point it out? Is it at the top or bottom of the page?

  32. Nicole

    i got 18 SWAG BACKS (TWICE) within 5 minutes! THANX COLLIN!

  33. Martina

    I know this special day is over… but ever since I am having troubles with swagbucks site – even tried different browsers and nothing helps. When I win something… it starts to load so I see the prize on top partially loaded, it gets stuck without me being able to see the code you need to enter to claim the points… and then in less than a second the whole search result reloads – this time with no prize at all… ;-(
