What are Swagbucks and how do you earn them?

Swagbucks is a form of “internet currency” that you earn by simply searching the web and participating in surverys and offers (if you choose to).  You can then redeem your Swagbucks for prizes such as paypal cash, amazon credit, starbucks gift cards, etc. Trust me when I say – you should SIGN UP!   Swagbucks almost paid for our entire Christmas last year, and a couple of years back I was able to get a FREE iPhone by saving up my Swagbucks to redeem for a Apple Store gift card.

How and when should I spend them?

I do suggest you treat your Swagbucks like you would your budget, make the most of every buck and spend them wisely! With that said, I asked Mr. Frugal to help me figure out just which deals (out of my top 5 favorites) had the best bang for their buck. Basically, what should I save up for first and in what order should I buy them?

He came up with the following chart…

Boy, I can’t belive it’s been months since I last posted about Swagbucks. I feel like I’ve betrayed my long-standing Christmas-Budget-Boosting friend. I took advantage of Swagbucks, then when Christmas rolled around I used my FREE Amazon gift cards and went on my way. Gasp! Horrible I know. So let’s get back at this, because after all Christmas is only 332 days away and we’ve got to start earning those Swagbucks! If you’re new to Swagbucks don’t wait a second longer, get signed up now! You can earn Swagbucks by searching the internet through their toolbar, taking surveys, watching the Swagbucks TV episodes, pariticpating in the special offers, and much more! Trust me on this one, this isn’t just another way to earn a measly $5 this year – you could fund your entire Christmas budget if you wanted to. Here are a few TFF reader comments from past Swagbucks posts…

I usually get two amazon.com giftcards a month. to do that i just watched any “special offer” videos or “like” any fb pages, anything that was free and easy on the special offers. I have recently started doing to trusted suveys and have gotten 2 amazon.com giftcarts this month from doing that. – Treasure I also turn in my children’s old video games and books we no longer need to Amazon and they give me credits. That plus swagbucks paid a lot of my Christmas last Dec. and will help me buy my son his bday present! – Kim Swagbucks itself also has a trade-in program which might be worth checking out. I’ve been using my swagbucks for paypal cash (able to use it more places than just amazon), and in the past month have been able to cash in for $100! It takes a little effort to keep the swagbucks coming in in large enough increments, but it’s so worth it! – Hillary Mine paid for Christmas last year! I bought all my kids presents and a camera for myself with the gift cards I earned for Amazon over 6 months! Can’t wait to start buying for this year! – Corissa
