3 months into swagbucks

My total points were around 48,000 which is enough for about $400 worth of gift cards. My first two months I spent endless amounts of time on swagbucks and my third month I calmed it down a bit started spending my time elsewhere. So basically this is a great site you can earn a lot of money and you don't have to spend as much time as I did I just liked being on it and every second I felt i was wasting precious swagbucking time!

How to tweet a braggable bargain

Ok something I haven't covered is that you can get 150 swagbucks from just tweeting what the braggable bargain is for that day. This is simple. They pick two winners a day.

First you must have a twitter account! Once you have signed up go to the homepage for swagbucks. Then go to redeem then swag store. Once you are there you will see 4 pages changing every few seconds one of those will be blue with a dragon that says braggable bargain click that page.


It will take you to what is on sale  and right under the review stars it says tweet #braggablebargain press that button.


This will open a new window so you can tweet the easy thing is that it is typed out for you but you have to include your swagbucks name so they know what account to credit it to.  So at the end of what they had typed just write your sb name (see below and pic)


You will not always win but within the first week I did it I won the 150 and it is a very easy way to get points occasionally. If you need any help please leave me a comment :).

Here is an example of what a braggable bargain tweet would look like


You can snag the Gap Options e-Gift Card - $10 for 190 SB off the regular price! http://www.swagbucks.com/p/prize/26818/Gap-Options-e-Gift-Card-10 #BraggableBargain  (Type sb name here)

How to send a ticket for special offers swagbucks.

 How to take and save a screenshot:

While doing an offer it is always best to take a screenshot just in case it does not credit. Here is how to do so.

Press ctrl+print screen on your keyboard

Then go to your start button >go to all programs >accessories >then go to paint.

Once you have opened the paint application you can either press paste or ctrl+V

Then click file in the top left corner and click save as it is best to save them as a JPG file because some walls do not accept png pictures. To change the file type click the drop down for save as type.

Remember to save your picture under something you will remember I save them like this R1dealchicken40 so I save them as the wall type first then by something that describes the offer and then I save it for how much the offer was worth.

Now for the tickets-

How to find where to put in a ticket these are all at the right hand side of the wall

Trialpay- Support
Radiumone- Missing swagbucks
Paymentwall-My account
Super Rewards-Get help
Peanut Labs-Need help?
Sponsor Pay-Support

Some walls do not have a place to insert a screenshot so you will have to go to an image hosting website like tinypic or something else. Also radium one and peanut labs will email you a generated response with a link included and that is what you will have to click to put in your ticket. Both of those have a place to upload a picture though.

Once you find your wall and it doesn't have a place to upload a picture like super rewards for example go to the image hosting website upload the picture (tinypic is free and does not require you to be a member). Once at your image hosting website you will have to click "browse" and find where you saved the screenshot.

Once uploaded it will give you several links I use the "email & IM link". To copy it right click and hold while drag over the link. Once you've copied the whole link let the mouse go and it will now be highlighted. Right click on it again and hit copy. Then go the the wall you want to open a ticket with and right click and hit paste.

I typically type something like I have completed this here is a screenshot. Most of the time you will get an email asking for a confirmation email I resend what I typed the first time.


Swagbucks April 2012

Swagbucks-

The pic below (total $185) is what I earned during the month of April for free. Swagbucks is a legitimate site that allows you to earn points and you can cash them out for gift cards paypal and amazon are my two favorites and the walmart cards are nice too. If you haven't already you can sign up here. It is 100% free to sign up all it asks for name and email when you sign up.Basically to earn gift cards you need to earn points and the many ways to earn points are playing games, answer a poll, do survey's, watch a sponsored video, watch the tv clips, find a code, redeeming coupons (printed and loyalty store card kind like safeway), trading in books, games, consoles etc and so many more ways.


You can read my review of swagbucks here. I am always willing to help you earn points or get started feel free to contact me anytime. I do reside in Spokane so I am willing to meet with you and help you if your in Spokane that is :). Again it is 100% free to sign up and you never have to spend anything if you do not want to.When you sign up visit the homepage go to the earn tab this is where you will earn all your points from. It may seem slow at first but quickly you'll be making enough for a $5 gift card daily in most cases this is at the least. Even if you aren't a hardcore swagger like I am you can still get a good prize monthly even if you spend less than a hour a day. 

If you have any questions feel free to comment below.

Easy swagbucks

Do this everyday to earn maximum points....

Go to swagbucks.com then go to earn a drop down list will show and this will be the most important tab on the homepage.

1.First thing first start your sbtv! change it every 40 seconds

2. Do searches periodically not too fast you'll win eventually!

3. Go to games every two you get two points (must wait for score to come up) I open crusher and do other stuff until the score pops up. You can do this for up to 10sb

4. Do NOSO and use your toolbar if you have one- equals 3sb daily

5. Check your hompage for video's - I usually have 10 for 1sb each

6. Check your trusted survey's- I usually have nothing

7.  Check your special offer walls for video's or super easy offers- I usally have up to 20sb

8. Check facebook for code actually this should be done sooner I am just to lazy to change this right now :)

9. Back to special offers- do any offers you find interesting or sound easy (I.E. enter zip to be awarded points) that is an easy offer! Make sure to take screenshots on every offer - no offer left uncredited!!!

10. Keep checking facebook if no code was released last time you did, keep changing sbtv, keep doing searches, and keep searching for offers. Also to the right is a link for the facebook page special offers that credit its a great page to find offers that you might have missed or that you passed. I post often of what offers credit for me what tab I found them on and what I had to do for how many sb's most others post that information too.


TIP: The easiest offers for me are the auto insurance ones some pay out really well. Like a 560 one was enter your information get a quote and get rewarded that easy! Also that 560 offer sent an email so if you did have to submit a ticket at least you would have some kind of email to provide for proof of completion. BTW I find my auto insurance quote offers on super rewards tab.

Review swagbucks 1 month almost 20,000

So its after midnight making today my first official month with swagbucks.My lifetime earning is 17,654 sbs and so far I have traded my points in for 2 $50 paypal cards 6 $5 amazon cards and a $10 paypal card and by today I will have two more $5 amazon cards redeemed. So basically $150 in a month but I changed from spending one hour a day to spending like all of my day literally.

At first my hubby was all sour about swagbucks, he got tired of hearing about it until I told him we will have the money in the bank in a few days. He was like uhh what? I thought you were getting amazon cards. I said yep and paypal complain now! He is much more interesting in hearing about it now that he knows I am not just wasting my time. Oh and he started getting excited about the amazon cards he wants some silly super bright headlights for our cadillac lol men :).


Have a good night everyone!

Just to update: At the end of the day of my first official month with swag bucks I had around 18,899 i think gosh I can't remember but I know 4/3 just a month and a day later I had over 20,000 earned so yea its possible with lots of work and special offers I over do things a lot and this is one I am glad I way over did on!

Remember if you need help please contact me! I have a comment box at the bottom (press the blue "comments" or if you want to sign up there is a link to the right.
Also my friend link or name is way2hott4u21 please add me if you are already a member.

Is swagbucks legit? Paypal proof

So excited I received my paypal cards this is the email to one of them. i figured I better block out my last name and the transaction number just in case.


Here is my paypal account




SWAGBUCKS IS LEGIT!!!! I transferred the money to my bank account for free too. Or you can use it for online purchases at most websites (except amazon I believe does not accept paypal) or you can order a paypal card to use.If you are not already a member you can find some very useful links on the right.

Swagbucks awesome day!

Today I am only less than 3 hours into the new day and I have already earned 1,439sb. 1,088 came from one offer which was a total steal! It was an offer for privacy guard a reputable company for a 30 day trial for $1 so I earned $10 in points for a buck and got all three of my credit reports AND scores. My life time is 15,271 so enough for a $100 gift card and maybe enough for a $25 gift card I jumped the gun and started redeeming my points for smaller gift cards so yeah in about a month $125 isn't bad at all :). Right now I am saving for a $50 card I am about 1,000 points away still waiting on $65 worth of others and already received $20 in gc.

End of day 26: 1901 best day ever!
Here is a pic I filtered it to show my total for the day after I completed everything I ended up earning 1901 which puts me a few hundred points away from ordering a $50 card :)

What is swagbucks?

I just realized I haven't covered what swagbucks is

Swagbucks is a free site for 13 and older that I discovered almost 3 weeks ago and I have been hooked! It is a way for you to earn money (yes actual money)/gift cards or merchandise by earning points for doing various things. Most of the ways to earn points do not require a lot of work, time or any personal information. For example the survey's ask for your opinions on products and services or watch a short 30 second video for a few points or use their search just like people use bing or google and occasionally you will win points plus many other ways to earn!

So when you get enough points for something you can redeem them for gift cards. Paypal is a gift card they offer which is like cash ( can be transferred to your bank account). There are many other choices for your rewards gift cards to jcpenney, amazon, sears, home depot xbox live, ps3 and so so many more. And in usually 10-14 days you receive your reward. Also there is no minimum for you to redeem your points if you have enough you can redeem at any time. It is really that simple!

The point to $ ratio it is about .01 per point depending on what gift card you want like an $5 amazon card is 450 points but a $5 paypal card is 700 points. I have actually received my rewards so swagbucks is legit.A month and 20 days in I have earned $170 and have almost enough for a $100 card. Even with spending only a little bit of time daily you should be able to earn $25 in amazon  or about $20 in paypal a month easily.I have spent $2 by choice (too good of offers to pass up lol) to earn what I have and all the rest were free.
                                                 Start earning here


Swagbucks VS Bing Rewards (money makers)

So if you have read my other posts swagbucks is legit and a great way to make a little extra income from home. And I love it!Swagbucks is free to use reward and redeem kind of website and there are many many ways to earn points it is really easy.I can vouch for swagbucks I have been paid every time I have ordered and so far I have received $60 in paypal and $30 in amazon. 


So onto Bing- this is a free site to earn rewards for using the bing search
I just signed up today and I actually kind of like it. It was easy to navigate and the searches you get 1 point for every two searches up to 20 points a day. There are sometimes other things you can do for points like view a page for 1-6 points.I did like that the gift cards were a very very reasonable amount for points like $5 is 525 points so it is almost equivalent to 1 point = .10 which is nice and close to swagbucks.The selection of gift cards is limited to 16 choices but another good thing is they had a few charities in there and a redbox rental or xbox 360 points.


So is bing rewards worth it? Compare to swagbucks no way in history!
But in addition to swagbucks yes! 


Update 4/5/2012 I have been signing in everyday and utilizing all the ways I can with bing to earn points and my total is  419 I am saving for a $5 amazon card so I have 106 points to go! I have been a member since this post was written 3/23/2012 So.... I can estimate monthly to earn a $5 card or so not bad for only taking about 2 minutes a day. My secret (bing) is to type in a search for anything say samsung phone then on the left it gives you related searches keep clicking those until you have maxed out of searches. 


4/7/2012  I had enough points for a $5 amazon card I ordered it and received it in my email with in 3 minutes bing is certainly legit.One tip is to wait to redeem your points until your lifetime credits are 750+ because if you cash them out like I did you get moved from bronze to silver status. Then your daily search goes from 20sb a day to 8sb a day so now it is going to take twice as long to get on gold status. Gold status will allow me to get discounts on the gift cards like a amazon would be 450(?) once I reach gold status.

Swagbucks VS Irazoo


Swagbucks

It is easy to use and the amount of ways to earn points is virtually endless. In a day I usually earn the equivalent to a $5 gift card minimum so swagbucks definitely treats it's members well! My only complaint is how hard it is to get credit from some of the special offers sometimes but that is not swagbucks fault and swagbucks support is a 10 out of 10 when it comes to writing them about a problem so that is a plus. I have redeemed for many gift cards already and received them.

Pro's- more ways to win, sbtv, more active members on community page, contests, you have an inbox to receive messages, you can refresh your total instead of refreshing the whole page. There is a better selection of gift cards and you can add coupons to your store reward cards. Paypal is offered as a prize. Survey's credit instantly

Cons- code is not active for very long, special offers can sometimes be a pain, its rare to get more than 3 serach wins, people get deactivated quite a bit.

Irazoo

So this is what I found compared to swagbucks the points for the rewards is a big difference swagbucks $5 amazon card is only 450 points which I easily earn in a day but irazoo is 3000 points. So if you participate in swagbucks and are just discovering irazoo like I did don't be scared of the big difference! Here is why!
Irazoo's payout are much more than swagbucks for everything just about. For example on irazoo I am looking at my dashboard and I see a 12 min survey worth 450 points.On swagbucks I would be lucky if a 12 minute survey was awarded 55 points. Another example is today I got a search win for 62 on irazoo and with swagbucks my normal search win is about 10 points. Irazoo also allows more search wins in a day so far 4 hours into the day and I have won 3 times and on swagbucks I usually spend all day and only end up with 3 wins total.

Pros- More special offers to choose from,  better game selection,code is active for days and you receive an email when there is a code out, more search wins in a day.

Cons- Few ways to earn points, some survey's need to be reviewed it takes 2-4 weeks and you have a chance that you will not receive the points, no tv, no contests, no daily ways to earn like a poll or noso's. There are captcha's on every search win and you only have 100+ seconds to type it in but the add takes forever to load so its an extra task I could live without.


Conclusion
So to me Swagbucks works better and faster to receive rewards but irazoo is well worth a few minutes a day it wouldn't hurt to participate in both.

SWAGBUCKS IS LEGIT ~!

Today I received all four of my gift cards this is the first one I applied to my amazon account. So I would say swagbucks is 100% legit! Have fun swagging!!!
 Ready to sign up? Use me! http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/way2hott4u21

What I do daily to earn SB

Usually I would start on swagbucks tv go to earn sbtv and change it every 40 seconds or whenever the bar goes up 10%. I also use the tv that is in my toolbar because it is a small window and can fit on the page while I do other things.

Then I go to the poll and use my toolbar for 1 point each.

Then you can go to earn NOSO look at the offers click skip if not interested and earn another 2sb's. Then you can go to trusted survey's and try those if you have any.

Then I usually go to special offers and see if there are any easy video ones or other easy offers if not I go to games and for every two you play you get 2 points (leave it on the screen for 1-2 minutes push go back to games repeat 5 times). You are allowed to get 10 points per day from games.

Then I usually check the swagbucks fb page here to see if anyone is posting about a code being out. If there is you can come back here and use the swidget to the right just push swag codes then check if there is a code and if there is one it will give you a hint on where to find it.

In between everything I do daily I search random terms or questions I usually earn 15-30 points a day from this. Then you can check the homepage there is a survey they give you 60 points for scroll down and look for this.


You can do 1 of these per day and it might take 1-5 days to credit or sometimes it credits right away it just depends. 

Then if I have completed all of that I start looking for more difficult offers to do like signing up for something completing 4 pages of information or something else that I know will take a little bit more time.

Periodically I will recheck the trusted survey's to see if I have a new one.

All day I am changing the sbtv and all day I am checking the facebook (people post good offers, fast crediting offers, what they typed to win on a search etc very helpful!) or searching to maximize my earnings.

On average I probably earn 500 points a day some days a lot more depends on what kind of special offers there.

What is a swagbuck search?

A swagbuck search is much like google. You type in a word, phrase or question and every once in awhile you will see a pop up like this.....

  One tip is do not search too fast they will give you a warning and some people have had their accounts deactivated because it looked like they were using a click bot. Also remember the searches are completely random you do not have more chances than any one to win and there is no specific words that trigger a win. If you visit the facebook page I copy and paste others searches usually it has good results.



Gift cards swagbucks

How many gift cards can I redeem with swagbucks?
You can redeem your points for gift cards but there is a limit. The limit is 5 gift cards per the amount of the gift card

So you can redeem monthly
5 $5 cards
5 $10 cards so on so on.

How long does it take?
Usually 7-14 days for most gift cards like a paypal gift card from swagbucks usually takes 7-8 days to be put in my account

When I have enough can I cash out? 
You do not need to have a minimum to redeem your points if you have enough points for a gift card you can order them when ever you would like to. 


You can even redeem your points to donate to a charity I believe they pick a monthly charity to donate to.
Gift cards work in denomination of $5, $10, 20, $25, $50 and $100 and $500

Easy way to earn swagbucks everyday

Do these daily to earn easy points ( to access these go to swagbucks home page and click the earn tab)

Go to games click one ( I pick crusher) wait a minute or two until the game ends and the score pops up then push go back to games for every game. For every two times you do this you will earn 2 points and you can do this until you receive 10sb.

Daily Poll- Answer a question for 1 point just a poll question

NOSO- view the pages click skip-skip and earn 2 points

Search in special offers for videos and the homepage- even if you do not want anything to do with special offers the video's are usually hassle free and you get points for just clicking and leaving it open until the end.

SBTV- watch the swagbucks tv to earn 3 points per 10 video's you watch do this all day long while you do other stuff just change it when you remember and its really easy points they definitely add up.
(Quick tip click on the next video when your percent meter moves up)

Searching- If you do not want to install the toolbar (its been problem free for me) you can just go to the home page swagbucks.com and search for terms on their search bar. 


Toolbar install- You get one daily point for having the toolbar installed and using it daily. 


Swagbucks code-
First check the swidget it will say something like check facebook or check blog. Here is a hint if it says go to the blog then head over to the swagbucks blog and in the search bar type in "code" usually it will pull up which blog post it is in. Another way is to check the facebook page people often give hints. 


To use the swidget push search code > check if there is a code it might say tweet tweet (twitter swagbucks page) or check facebook or something similar.

Special offers and survey's are usually a great way to earn fast sb's. 


So at the very low end you should get about 60 sb per day but that is with very minimal searching and very minimal sbtv and no special offers or survey's.

Ways to earn on swagbucks

Here are the many ways to earn with swagbucks! Don't know what swagbucks is?
                            Swagbucks Link 




Referrals: up to 1000 points per referral you earn points when they win from searches


Daily Poll: Earn 1 swag point for answering a question


Searches: Like google swagbucks has a search engine that if you do your normal daily searches you can randomly earn points. Today I earned 17 points just from searching so that was awesome.


No special obligation offers (NOSO) : Just for looking at the offers you get rewarded usually 2-3 swagbucks


Swagbucks Tv: Watch 1-5 minute shows and after 10 of them you earn 3 swagbucks.


Games: Play games to earn  swagbucks or enter in tournaments win and get lots of swagbucks!
Play two games and get awarded 2 swagbucks you have to push back to games after each one though.


Swagbucks codes: are random codes that appear on the blog, facebook, twitter and other places.  The code usually looks like this booksforSale or with numbers in it and remember is it capital sensitive. My swidget is on the side push check code and if there is a code out there it will tell you.


Coupons:  For sending coupons to your rewards member cards (like safeway or albertsons) and using them in the store you will receive 10 swagbucks per coupon. Its like saving while earning :) You can also clip and print coupons these take 8-10 weeks to credit.


Tasks: This is where you perform tasks to earn swagbucks. I haven't participated in this too much it is a lot of research on the internet and answering questions about a webpage.Some are easy though.


Trade in: This is where you can trade in your old game consoles or books to earn points. A college book I paid $80 for would give  me 3500 points (still debating whether I should do this lol). Oh and shipping is paid.


Trusted Surveys:  This is a bit time consuming for some of them if you qualify but it is really rewarding usually 75-100 per survey. I usually do not qualify so I do not participate in most of them.


Special offers: I have done quite a bit of these actually and most of them are really rewarding. For example one was to sign up for a rush card ( a free prepaid card) and the reward was 140 points. It took about 2 minutes and I was done. Some are just to watch a clip and answer a question or look for the numbers that go across the screen( earns 3 SB).


Daily Deals: Occasionally there will be a groupon in here that you can buy and earn points from usually 150-300 points and then you get a sweet deal with the groupon so its a win win. Daily deals are just getting points for spending money at one of their selected sites.


Swagbucks Toolbar install:
I installed this because for one I got points and two I figure I would give it a try. I have had no problems (I use firefox) and it is really convienient if you access swagbucks more than once a day.

Swagbucks review legit or scam? 2012

So I recently stumbled upon a site called swagbucks. Swagbucks is 100% free earn and reward type of site where you do things like watch tv or play games or do survey's to earn points etc.

I have been a member for 6 days now and I have earned 753 points (and I am still discovering ways to earn points wow!) I can already redeem my points for a $5 amazon gift card for 450 points or a $5 paypal card for 700 points!NO MINIMUM POINT BALANCE REQUIRED meaning if you have enough points for a gift card at any time you can redeem them for that card unlike other sites that require you to have a certain amount before cashing out.
Here is my referral link if you would like to sign up under me :)
             http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/way2hott4u21  
                                     LEGIT

Update: I redeemed my points for some gift cards and received them I applied all of them to my paypal and amazon account with no problems.  You can view my blog on proof here  this is for my paypal. You can also view another blog I posted about receiving my gift cards here this one is about my amazon gift cards. 

Update: One month in I am a little past my one month mark and I have been non stop swagging (literally) my total is a little over 21,000 sb and I have received/spent $85 in gift cards already and I have $75 more ordered! AND have almost enough for another $25 card :)

Again I will say swagbucks is 100% free it is easy to sign up and they do not ask for a bunch of personal information.
I plan on writing more blogs about swagbucks stay tuned.
