I’ve shared before about how I love using my Swagbucks toolbar as a search engine so that I can earn points to trade in for Amazon eCards and Target eCards.
So that I’m not repeating myself, you can read more about how Swagbucks works here. And you can read about how I’ve been able to save on organic groceries using Swagbucks here.
This week, Swagbucks is doubling all swag earnings…which I find very exciting!
If you’re new to Swagbucks and sign up now using this code: SWAGNATION5 you’ll receive 50 points just for signing up!
Trust me, there is no catch, you just use Swagbucks as a search engine and earn free money. I love it, which is why I’m sharing it with you!
But I find the fact that they track your searches disturbing. They know how often you search, what you search for, and decide whether you seem to have “normal” searching habits, and they will penalize you or boot you from the system if you don’t line up.
Creepola.
I think they do that only to prevent people from using “bots” to win points.
I love my swagbucks! Just got a great book on amazon, “Putting it up with Honey”, for $0.99 thanks to my swagbucks gift card. For my birthday I saved up my giftcards and bought a set of bamboo crochet hooks for myself.
A side note: I see you have a water filter on your sink. It dawned on me the other day that I’ve put so much emphasis on my food, yet I’ve ignored the quality of my water. Do you have a filter recommendation?
We haven’t done much about our water quality either, we just have a Brita water filter on our sink for drinking water. Thankfully, the water in our town isn’t terrible or we’d do something more.
Alrighty, you’ve mentioned it a lot as do some other blogs I follow. I’ll give it a shot!
Laura, can I use more than one Swagbucks coupon on a single amazon transaction? I see the $5 gift cards are actually cheaper than the $50 gift card… so, I’m wondering – other than only being able to buy a certain number in a day (I think) – what would be the advantage of buying the $50 card? I couldn’t find the answer on their site, but I figured you would know.
Thanks!
Yes, you can use as many cards as you want at one time. I have no idea why the $5 cards are a better deal than the $50 cards. My guess is that they hope people only have $5-$10 in cards and will spend more than that so that they’ll make more money!
