Early in 2010, I mentioned that I was going to use Swagbucks as a way to pay for the holidays this year. Many of you decided that you would try to save along with me. I wanted to share some of your success with Swagbucks — and hopefully motivate some of you to start using Swagbucks.
Karen Jane got a GPS for $18.97 : I redeemed all of the Amazon GC I had saved up that I got from swagbucks last night for a GPS! With the free shipping, it only cost me $18.97. Great gift!
Bonnie S. earned a $100.00 Gift Card: I’ve collected 8805 swagbucks this year – which I plan to redeem for Amazon gift cards. I’m hoping to bring it up to 9000 ($100) before the end of the month. Not as much as I hoped for – but I’ll take $100!!
Tiffany earned $150 Amazon Gift Cards – I’ve got over $150 worth of Amazon gift cards and I’m hoping to squeak out $20 more before Christmas!=)
Kim earned a whopping $510 worth Of Amazon Gift Cards – I did really well. I earned $510 worth of Amazon gift cards, $303.88 is left to spend on Christmas (We em it to buy Legos Duplos for our son, in addition to some cake decorating supplies and a dress for me for my Brother-in-law’s wedding). Not too shabby for searching the internet, huh?
So, are you ready to start using Swagbucks in 2011? It is easy to do – Sign up for Swagbucks. Search the Internet (use it when you come to FTM) and earn Swagbucks. Exchange your Swagbucks for gift cards — pay less for your holiday in 2011!

i have swagbucks as my search engine, but often i just click on my favorites list & go to the sites from there. does anyone know if this still counts as using the swagbucks search engine?
kelly says
do the swagbucks expire at the end of the year?
Shannon says
@kelly,
No they do not.
Debby says
I just started using the coupons through swagbucks too, but it is killing me to wait to see the numbers change for weeks and weeks though. It will be a nice boost to my total!!!
Stephanie says
I have been using Swagbucks since this time last year. I have earned a $5 Amazon gift card, 6 $15 ITunes gift cards, and a $25 Disney gift card that we used to buy Disney t-shirts for out Disney trips this year.
We have 8 nieces & nephews…so the ITunes gift cards will be great for the teen/pre-teens girls and I also got 3 $10 GameStop gift cards with My Coke Rewards (going to add $5 to make them even) and give them to the boys!
Thanks for all that you do!
Ginny says
I haven’t only earned about $30 in Amazon gift cards since August i think but I still love it. It is simple and easy and even if its not a lot of money it is still money.
Jaime says
I earned $100 (so far) in Amazon.com gift cards this year, and I purchased a digital rain gauge for my dad, a Dymo label maker for my mom, and 2 CD’s for my 15 year old…all Christmas gifts!
MMcKenna says
I have done Swagbucks and ExpoTv both and made enough to buy presents for my daughters birthday in Nov and have some left for Christmas! So far we got a Leapfrog Explorer, camera for the Explorer, a sleeping bag, dvd, and still have about $50 left!!
I feel like I could do a lot more in 2011 with both programs! I can’t wait to see how far I go! Woohoo!
Judy R says
I signed up and I really didn’t use it that much at first then I made the search page my home page and used it as my search engine….I earned 4 $5.00 gift cards to amazon and a few points from my 5th one! I used 3 of them so far for a subscription to National Geographic for my hubby! Thank you so much for turning me to Swagbucks!
kelly says
OK, so i have been using swagbucks for 10 months, but I only enough for about $30. What are your tips for maximizing your earning swagbucks. I use it for searching and earn about 20-30 per day, but that is it. Oh, and I also use it when i purchase stuff online, but we don’t buy a lot on line so that doesn’t help too much. Any helpful tips would be appreciated.
Sarah says
I am doing something wrong then. I use it as a search engine and do the daily polls, but never seem to be able to get more than 11 swagbucks every once or twice a day. It has taken me about a month to earn under 200 swagbucks. What does everyone else do to earn bucks?
Michele C says
I can’t wait to check out the games when they go live. Having referrals help but swagtv is the best so far. Also I ordered from Ulta and it credit my swag account in 1 day. Most take a month or longer.
kelly says
Hey I just started using this…now.. lol can you only earn one point per day for searching?
Kim F says
How are you all earning so much? I use it very frequently throughout the day but don’t get a lot of payouts. I’m lucky if I get 1 payout per day of 6-11 SB. Do you need to do the search, then click on a website and view it for a certain amount of time before you can search again? Thanks for any insight and congrats to you all for your accomplishments! :)
Jessica says
I dont use swagbucks anymore cause it slowed my comptuer down but I have taken advantage of ExpoTv and i live in NC and my insurance company (blue cross blue shield) offers and rewards system (blue points) for healthy living and I have gotten a kindle ($139 from amazon), $25 to old navy, $25 to bath and body, $100 worth of itunes cards, $50 to amazon (that i got my dad a new pair of shoes with), and 4 books for my grandma (another $50 to amazon).
I started both programs in janurary and im done my christmas shopping for 16 people and spent 90$ this holiday season, which is less then the kindle costs!!
these reward programs are so worth the time and pay out!!
Andrea says
@Andrea,
Jessica;
Do you have the link for it on their website?
Kim says
I used my 10-$5.00 Amazon cards towards $50 off a Nintendo DSi for my daughter for Christmas! Got an amazing deal on it that way! Thank you, Swagbucks!! Oh, & I’ve also used one more $5 gc since then on more gifts & have almost earned another one! Woohoo!
Ryan Fetzer says
I started swagbucks just like 2 weeks ago and have almost 1000 points already I am so excited for christmas next year!
Tina C. says
I started doing swagbucks the end of September after seeing a post from you! I am so swagbucks obsessed!! after 2.5 months I have $50(10 $5) in Amazon cards ready to use! I am so mad I didnt start it sooner, but I am looking forward to all the gift cards I will have saved up for next year!
Tina says
I just started SB a few months ago, so I’m hoping to have plenty of Amazon gift cards for next year. So far I have $40 worth, so next year I should have at least $150 worth for Christmas.
Amy F says
I’ve earned $100 in amazon giftcards this year and plan to continue to 2011!
Karla says
I’m hoping to earn more in 2011. Sometimes Swagbucks daily deals are national Groupon deals. I’m hoping to score big with both!
