If you’re not using Swagbucks, you are missing out on an opportunity to earn Amazon gift cards and more. Want some proof? Check out this email from reader, Sherry…

Over the years of visiting your site, I wondered what in the world was Swagbucks and how can they pay you in gift cards for doing so little. Well, last year I finally decided to see what the fuss was about & was floored at how easy it was to earn gift cards (kicking myself for not starting earlier!) The photo above is just a FEW things I’ve used the Amazon cards for in addition to many other items for my household. As a SAHM it is so nice to be able to contribute to the household “financially” & I have no feelings of guilt if I want to get something new, utilize the deals you post or try a new product. Thank you for continuing to highlight it and I recommend it to my fellow skeptics!

And through June 7th, you can get even more SwagBucks when you invite a friend to join! Just refer someone to Swagbucks between now and the 7th and when your referral earns 300 SwagBucks by the end of June, You AND your referral will both get 300 SwagBucks each! The 300 SwagBuck Bonus will be credited to all eligible members on July 10th. Check out all the details here and then click on “Refer Friends” at the top of the screen to get started!

    I have used Swagbucks for years and really rely on the gift cards and PayPal credit that I earn. Swagbucks has paid for Christmas entirely for several years now. I’d be happy to answer any questions. http://Www.Swagbucks.com/refer/Richmond 282

    Swagbucks used to be my main earning site. But then I found one where you can get your gift cards instantly instead of waiting. It is easier to earn on this site too.

    I have been on swag bucks for years and I’ve never made anything on it because I have no active referrals. If someone could please use my link I would really appreciate it a lot. Thank you in advance.

    My only regret is not learning about swagbucks earlier. I’ve been using mobile swagbucks for a little over 3 yrs and have made over $1500 in amazon and other kinds of gift cards. I have purchased 90% of my kids Christmas and birthdays for using just swagbucks gift cards. My only hope is to get some referrals cause nobody around me wants to earn free money: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/tnmcgough
    Thanks in advance!

    Since I am the one who inspired the post & I have absolutely NO previous referrals since I signed up a year ago, I would GREATLY appreciate anyone signing up. I would’ve posted earlier but away at Medical appts, job of the SAHM.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who found my post helpful! Best of luck!

      Hi Sherry, does it take much time, Is it similar to shopathome?

      • Sherry

        It does take some time, I am in a place where I can do surveys which rack up the points faster but it is much more effective than anything else I’ve done and I’ve done Inbox Dollars which was horrible return in my opinion, I do PineCone & another research company but by far, it pays much faster to do Swagbucks.

      I just went on maternity leave and would love if someone could use my link. I want nothing more than to be a SAHM, the hardest job of all!!! So let’s see what all this swaybacks is about!

        Thank you so much Vivian! I wish I had started when I first went on leave too! I waited til I almost had a 2 yr old. You will be able to do so well, do the surveys when you can’t sleep or searches & the easy stuff you will have the extra bucks in no time! Just don’t give up, it took me a month to get the hang of it and now its so easy! Best of wishes with your coming joy! 🙂

    I earn a consistent $50+ from them just by playing videos on my phone and computer while doing other things! Great site. Since i don’t have any referrals, I suppose I will jump on the bandwagon and share my link. I really appreciate anyone that is willing to use it!!

    Thanks guys!

    Wow! Look at all these referral links! I tried swagbucks and think it is a complete waste of time. You have to outweigh these things. Just giving another perspective. But here’s my referral link, i’d so appreciate it if you’d use it.

    I don’t have any referrals but I have used Swagbucks since 2009. I have redeemed Paypal credit a few times, but would love to earn more. I also follow a blog they have that alerts you to free codes they give out. https://sbcodez.com/

    Please us my referral link if you are new !

    I have been a member of Swagbucks for years and haven’t had one referral yet. I do just about everything the site has to offer except for surveys, maybe. I earn anywhere from $30-$40 a month by clipping coupons, making donations, running the TV apps, doing the noso/engage and more. Please consider signing up under my referral if you are a new user. I would so appreciate it! Thank you so much in advance! 🙂 Here is my link: https://www.swagbucks.com/refer/claudegrizzle

    I save mine throughout the year and then use Amazon gift cards towards Christmas for my boys. Love Swagbucks!

    I absolutely love Swagbucks! I’m a senior in high school and I think most of the things I buy are “wants” and not “needs” so when I buy these items with the money I earn from Swagbucks I feel less guilty! It also feels great to buy these things with my own money instead of asking my parents. It may seem like it takes a while to earn points but a little bit everyday for leaving the videos running on my phone goes a long way! I would really appreciate it if someone signs up from my referral link! http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/CookieMuncher Thank you in advance! Have a wonderful day (:

        Thank you Jean! I think that may not be your referral link. First you should click on the “Refer Friends” button on the top bar (it’s between the rewards and swag codes button). Then you should be able to scroll all the way down and find your referral link below the three social media icons. It should look something like http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/(your choice of username). I hope this helps!

        There are many ways to earn SwagBucks. You can place orders from stores and receive Swagbucks (similar to Ebates, except you receive Swagbucks, rather than cash), take surveys-some as short as a few minutes, play games, watch videos, read articles, etc. When you accumulate Swagbucks, you can use them to purchase gift cards. For example, a $25 amazon card is 2,200 Swagbucks. They can mount up pretty quickly.

    Yes, Swagbucks is great – I average $25 PayPal card per month. My referral link is https://www.swagbucks.com/refer/buyitlow

    Another great site is Perk, you can have up to 5 devices at a time generating points, my referral code is cb4009cc, the website is https://www.perk.com I average a $25 PayPal card per month on this site also.

    Thanks!

    I pay for Christmas each year with nothing but gift cards earned through wagbucks……I am happy to give advice to anyone on the best ways to earn the most swagbucks. Surveys and running the swagbucks tv on your smartphone are great! http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/hdlstn
