I just wanted to remind you that today is Mega Swagbucks Friday, which means you may be able to score more Swagbucks than normal just by searching the web, something we all do on a regular basis! 🙂  If you’re new to Swagbucks, here are a few more ways you can earn Swagbucks…

* Searching the web
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. You can win multiple Swag Bucks every day; Swag Bucks can be won in denominations ranging from 1 – 1,000.

* Taking Surveys
Each survey that you chose to engage with may have a different Swag Bucks payout. Completing “deeper profiles” helps Swag Bucks alert you only to surveys for which you qualify and typically enables you to complete more targeted surveys which have significantly higher Swag Bucks payouts. Snag 1 Swag Buck per day just for heading over to the Survey page!

* Shopping at the Shop & Earn Mall
Select one of the partnering online retailers and earn 2 Swag Buck for every dollar you spend.

* Voting in Daily Polls
Snag 1 Swag Buck per day for voting in the daily poll.

* Watching videos
Swag Bucks are awarded randomly via Swag Bucks TV. Not every video you watch will earn you Swag Bucks, but just like Swag Bucks search, every video you watch is a chance to earn.

* Inviting your friends to join
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!

* Completing Special Offers
To ensure that an offer has been completed, follow the instructions provided for each individual offer. The offer needs be completed in the same session and all information required to complete the offer MUST be accurate. The majority of offers will credit your Swag Bucks account within 20 minutes. However, the estimated wait time varies from offer to offer. Some may take a few hours or a couple of days before final confirmation is received.

*Playing Games
Swagbucks recently released FREE Swagbucks Games… find a game you like, play for free AND you’ll be eligible to earn bonus Swag Bucks just for playing!! There are two ways to be rewarded for playing games (1) Play games for free and you will randomly earn from 1-5 Swag Bucks (2) Buy into tournaments where you risk a small amount of Swag Bucks for the chance to earn a large amount. Just login or register and click on the “Earn” tab, then in the drop down menu choose “Games”.

* Finding Swag Codes
Swag Codes are strings of alphanumeric text that you can apply for instant Swag Bucks. Swag Codes can appear anywhere, and at any time, throughout the Swag Bucks network including the Swagbucks newsletter, any Swag Bucks powered Search&Win Site; the Official Swag Bucks blog, Facebook Fan Page, Twitter page, Flickr page; and affiliated partner sites. Swag Codes can be redeemed by entering the codes into the Swag Codes box on your My Account page.

* Trading in Cell Phones and Video Games
You can earn Swag Bucks for each phone you trade-in up to 3,000 Swag Bucks per phone; there is no limit to how many phones you can recycle.

* Print Coupons
You will earn 10 Swag Bucks for every coupon that you print from Swagbucks.com and use in the store. It can take anywhere from 8-12 weeks for the Swag Bucks to show up in your account.

* Share Your Birthday
Be sure that you enter your birthday in the account details and you’ll snag 50 Swag Bucks on the big day!


You may be wondering, how can I use my Swagbucks or what can I purchase?

Swag Bucks can be used to purchase clothing, items for the kitchen, electronics, gift cards and lots more in the Swag Store!  My personal favorite item is a $5 Amazon e-Card for only 450 Swag Bucks! 🙂

    If you normally purchase items through Groupon, Living Social or other daily deal sites, be sure to go through swagbucks’ Daily Deals….they’ll award you 160+ swagbucks just for purchasing these items their their site.

    As for the Swagbucks TV…normally you have to watch 10 videos to get awarded 3 pts….not a great deal since you have to remember to start up the next video. But if you spend a lot of time on your computer, you can win up to 75 swagbucks a day just by having these videos running on your computer.

    • Kelly

      Should read 3 swagbucks, not 3 pts! sorry!

    • Bonoca

      I’ve noticed that they no longer do the Living Social deals on Swagbucks which bums me out, at least in the Richmond, VA area. I’ve noticed others complain on the SB Facebook page. I’ve redeemed $50 worth of Amazon gift cards and I love this site!

      Thanks!

      • mamabear

        welcome happy friday!! 😀

  4. Kim

    This has nothing to do with Swagbucks but I thought it was a great deal! Toys R Us has Cars and The Incredibles bluray/dvd packs on sale today and tomorrow. I just bought them both for $16.96! They include a free movie theater ticket to see Cars this summer!!

    If you buy both, you get $10 off instantly. Plus, TRU has a sale buy one movie get one 40% off (today and tomorrow only) Then use the $10 and $8 coupons!!

  5. Suzanne

    Where can you enter your birthday? When I go under “Account Details” it only has my name, address, email and password. If anyone knows, please tell me, my bday is in 2 weeks and I’d love to get the SBs!

    • Michelle L.

      I can’t find where to enter birth date either. Can someone please help us locate where to enter this information?

  6. lucy

    I just got 36 sb for searching hip2save. Thanks Colleen!

    • Audra

      I got 12 for searching hip2save too!

    My personal favorite reward is the $5 Amazon.com e-giftcard as well. I always keep one handy (as they take time to redeem). Pair that free $5 gc with some of Amazon’s already crazy low deals and you can get some steals 🙂

    • Audra

      Can you explain the “they take time to redeem” part? Is it not an intant code?

      • Jana

        no, it is not an instant code. I think on average for me it takes 2-3 weeks before they email you the code.

      • Karri

        They only give out the gc codes one the 1st & the 15th of the month so you have to redeem them before these dates or you have to wait. So if you redeem your SB on the 19th you will have to wait until the 1st to get your GC code. Hope this helps.

        • Audra

          Good to know. Thanks!

          • Jen

            But you can store those codes in your Amazon account to use at a later date. Just cash your SB’s in when you get enough for an egift card and then store them in your Amazon account for when you want to use them. Do NOT wait until you find something you want to buy; do it AHEAD of time.

        • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

          That’s not accurate. I’ve already received codes on the 4th, 8th and 12th this month plus I typically receive my code in 7-10 days.

          • Julieanne28

            This is straight from the Swagbucks site.. GIFT CODES ARE POSTED ON YOUR ACCOUNT PROFILE, UNDER “My Gift Cards” WITHIN 10-14 BUSINESS DAYS OF VERIFYING YOUR PURCHASE.

            Hope that helps!

    Friday always seems to be my worst day for winning Swagbucks even though it’s Mega Swagbucks Friday. The other days I usually score multiple times and on Fridays, I’m lucky to win once.

    • Stephanie

      I totally agree lol! But today I did get 50 swagbucks for the very first time! WOOO HOOO!

      • Christy

        That’s awesome Stephanie! You are giving me hope! 🙂 Ha ha!!

    The highest bucks I received was 53. Swag bucks is a great site sometimes and I have earned numerous amazon e cards. Recently it changed somehow so my frequent searches only lead me to the rules. So if you work for DS, then swag bucks might not work for you. Because of this I decided to go back to Google, since I hardly earn doing the surveys on swag bucks anyway. I also didn’t like that I almost didn’t get my swag bucks for shopping through their site. All I can say is try it and I’ve tried it since last year, and have given up on them now.

    • katie

      i hear ya – i’m not really enjoying it either. it takes a lot of work, plus i always miss out on the special codes since i only have my daughter’s naptime to be on the computer. I far prefer MyPoints, i have been a member for years and gotten numerous free things. You get 5 pts for just clicking on the email ads they send you, and then you can delete the email and go on with your day… and they’ll send you multiple ones per day! they also award points printing for coupons.com and have surveys too… i find it much more user friendly and awarding! (Let me know if you want a referral to try it out! WiggleBaby [at] Gmail [dot] com)

    I have been doing swagbucks for almost a year now, because of you Collin. I have got a lot of free stuff from Amazon I love it. Thanks……

  11. Toni S.

    I always print my coupons.com coupons through Swag Bucks when I can. I got a total of 60 SB yesterday for coupons I redeemed. At first it was hard to remember not to go directly to coupons.com, but now its an automatic thing.

  12. holly

    i love swag bucks but i have to log in almost after every search. my toolbar shows me loged in but once i do a search it pops up saying u could be wining if you wre logged in. so i log in and same thing keeps happening… anyone know how to fix this? it drives me nuts having 2 log in over and over and over lol

    • Francoise

      Holly– That sounds really irritating. It might have something to do with your cookies and how they’re enabled.. But I’m not sure. But I bet the problem would be an easy fix for someone more tech savvy than I. Ask around and good luck.

  13. Sara

    I did one of the swagbucks surveys recently on overnight pants for bedwetting and was asked if I’d be willing to have my child test them out so they sent me a free pack! So, I got the SB for doing the survey plus a the free pack!

  14. Eve

    Won 39 swagbucks points today. I was in the hospital for a few days so at least that makes up for some searches I missed out on. 🙂

  15. cristina

    I got 12 SB by searching hip2save website 🙂 thanks 🙂

  16. cristina

  17. TERESA

    i completed a special offer for DMC, i was promised 1224 swagbucks. i have recieved the videos, and emailed them several times, i still have not recieved my bucks. i don’t beleive i will be doing any more special offers.

  18. Dianne W.

    Is it true that the Target e-Gift Card can only be used on Target.com? Aside from Starbucks, are there any physical store gift cards that are worth redeeming points for?

  19. vergin

    Hi,
    I have an account in swagbucks with 1 email address and i have amazon account with another email address. How can i link both if i order amzon egift card.

    Thanks.
