Get free amazon gift cards by using Swagbucks

 

I mentioned Swagbucks  in a recent post.

Do you ever search the internet?  I assume the answer is yes.  Would you like to get rewarded when you search?  I bet the answer is yes.  I have made over $100 in amazon gift cards just by using Swagbucks as my search engine.

What are Swagbucks?
Swagbucks is a site that lets you earn Swagbucks (points) by literally just searching the web… something we do on a daily basis anyways! They also have an excellent referral program! If you refer someone over to Swagbucks and they earn a Swagbuck, you will earn a Swagbuck too–up to 1000 Swagbucks! So you could potentially earn 1000 Swagbucks from each friend you refer! Plus, once you accumulate enough Swagbucks, you can cash them in for various rewards, including Amazon.com gift cards 9my personal favorite)!

How do you get started?

• Go here and register on Swagbucks by creating an account
• You will get some Swagbucks just for signing up!
• After registering, you can immediately start searching for anything you want on the web just by using the Swagbucks search engine!
• Periodically, while searching, you may see a pop up that says you’ve won anywhere from 1 to 10 or more in Swagbucks. I usually "win" swagbucks twice but sometimes three times a day.
• Another way to earn Swagbucks, is by entering a Swagcode that is released almost everyday. This is a special code that you can enter in the swagcode box and you will instantly earn Swagbucks without having to search for them! How do you get this special code? Go to the Swagbucks homepage, click on “Ways to Earn” in the top left, then click on “Special Offers” and then click on the “No Obligation Offers” blue box on the right.

Once you get to this page, it will state this:
Welcome to Swag Bucks Special Offers. Sign up for the free money-saving offers you like,
feel free to skip the rest, and find a special swag code reward at the end.
Skip ALL the offers by clicking the skip button or the See Next Offer button beneath the advertisement. Finally after about 7 pages you’ll be awarded with a Swagcode! Enter the code in the box provided on the homepage to see how much you’ve earned.

• After you’ve earned enough points, you can click on the upper tab labeled “Prizes”. Scroll down and under the categories section on the left hand side you should see “Gifts and Rewards”–click there. Now you can start scrolling through all the gift cards they have available. The Amazon.com gift card is by far my favorite reward! You can score a $5 Amazon.com gift card with just 45 Swagbucks, so literally in a month (possibly less) you could earn a $5 Amazon.com gift card!

Will you make your living on Swagbucks?  No. Will you make some money? Yes. Is it easy and free?  Yes and yes!!


So far I have earned over $100 in Amazon gift cards.  This won't pay the mortgage but it is something. Get mom and dad on board.  Get your friends on board.  Remember you get matched buck for buck until they reach 1000.  There are tons of other prizes.  I just find that Amazon gets the best bang for my swagbuck. Did you know you can buy groceries on Amazon?  I recommend saving up enough so that you have free shipping. I think your purchase has to be $25 or more.

Here is a recent screen shot of $120 in Amazon gift cards that I have redeemed.

Let me know if you decide to swagbuck!

Free preschool worksheets

My daughter and I have been working on "at" words.  I found these free printable phonics sheets.
These are a great supplement to the kindergarten hooked on phonics books that we are using.  I particularly like the idea of making a memory game out of the at words.  Just print two copies of the at flashcards.  Cut and play.

This site also has some pre-printing practice worksheets that I'm going to print out as well as letter printing worksheets.

Mega Swagbucks Day!

Today and every Friday is Mega Swagbucks Day!
That means it should be even easier to collect your swagbucks and get even more just by doing your searches. I've earned over $50 in free gift cards just by searching with Swagbucks! I don't know how many times I've gotten swagbucks for searching for Facebook or other places I go to regularly.  If you don't know much about swagbucks check out my article on how to get free gift cards with swagbucks.

Safeway I wish you knew your own coupon policies!

So I'm at Safeway tonight with my plan all ready.  They're having this great deal on  Marie's dressing that I was going to get in on.  If you buy 5 then each are only $.99.  I happen to have 5 coupons for these for $1 off making them all free. I packed these into my cart along with some fuji apples that are on sale for .88/lb. The cashier put all my coupons through with no problem and then decided that on second thought she wouldn't take the coupons after all.  She said that since the item was only $.99 she couldn't take $1 off.  I said "well, can't you just take the coupon down to $.99?" and she said no.  Now, since she was the cashier manager (according to her name tag) I didn't really think I could do anything.  So I just paid for my apples and went on my way.  I knew this wasn't quite right so I called corporate at 1-877-723-3929.  I politely asked if it was Safeway's policy to not accept coupons that were higher than the price of the item. She said no. In cases like this the coupon should be adjusted down. So she apologized and talked with my Safeway and then connected me.  My safeway also said that my cashier should have adjusted the coupon down and didn't understand what the issue was.  


I wish I had asked for a manager while I was there or called while I was in the store but I just wanted to get home.  The employees should know the coupon policy as well as their customers.
