Free $5 Amazon gift card from Swagbucks!

I've talked about Swagbucks for awhile now, so you may know how great it is to get free gift cards and pay for gifts, big purchases and anything else with them instead of paying out of pocket. They've saved me over $150 just since January through Amazon gift cards!


Well now I have exciting news and a great opportunity for all of you to earn bonus SB -- enough to get a free $5 gift card! Any of my readers who signs up for Swagbucks.com through my link here between now and April 5th is eligible to get a 500 SB bonus! Think of it as a free gift card just for signing up through me.

In order to get the bonus automatically, you must also earn 1500 SB before April 19th. Note that since this is an exclusive offer, you must sign up through this link and earn 1500 SB in order to get your 500 SB bonus. If you sign up elsewhere, or only do one of the two steps, the bonus unfortunately will not be available to you.

So how do you get that 500 SB bonus? Simple: you can earn SB from any of the earning activities found on the homepage or top bar of Swagbucks.com (Shop, Search, Watch, Play, Answer, Discover, NOSO & Daily Poll). I'll be posting periodically ways to help you earn more Swag Bucks so you can hit that 1500 SB mark before April 19th.

In the meantime, if you haven't started earning with Swagbucks yet, now is a great time to sign up and check out all the different ways to earn Bucks -- all so you can get a bunch of free gift cards. Please note that it may take up to 14 business days to credit your account once you have earned 1500 SB.

Swagbucks: Refer and earn 10% for life!

Swagbucks is kicking off their Birthday celebrations a month early with a big referrals promotion. As you know, I often talk about Swagbucks and include a referral link in my posts so I can vouch for how referrals can help you earn SB faster. Well now Swagbucks is doing something even better: From Jan 21 to Feb 25th each new person who signs up as your referral allows you to earn 10% of the Swag Bucks that they earn! Not just in Search wins like before but in almost every earning opportunity! Here’s the best part - you’ll continue earning 10% of their earnings FOR LIFE!

What are the qualified earnings? Anything found along the top menu bar: Shop, Search, Watch, Play, Answer, Discover. But that is not all - every SB earning from a mobile app or from the mobile site contributes too.

For example: You invite Bob today, he signs up and earns 14 SBs in Search, 12 SBs in SBTV, 6 SBs by playing games, 8 from Encrave Activities and 60 for a survey.  His daily earnings: 100 SB.  Your referral earnings from his activity: 10 SB.

Imagine Bob earns 100 SBs each day for a month.  Bob has 3,000 SBs and you have 300 SBs. It's easy as that! So if you'd like to get more Swag Bucks (& who wouldn't?) get started by inviting your friends now.

And if you haven't joined Swagbucks yet, click here to get started!

How I earned 150 Swag Bucks with one click!

Today is Friday! Time to celebrate, get pumped for the weekend and search your way to extra large SB bills. That's right, it's Mega Swag Bucks Day. Simply use the Swagbucks search engine for all your online searches, and you will have better odds of winning larger SB amounts starting at 20 SB and more.

A few days ago, I earned 150 Swag Bucks with just one click.  Here's how!

Every day, I stop by the Swagbucks Rewards Store and check out that day's Braggable Bargain.  Each day, one of the Swagbucks rewards goes on sale!  In the past several days, there have been sales on gift card from Starbucks, Lands' End, Chili's, and L.L. Bean.  Today's Braggable Bargain is a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card for only 2475 Swag Bucks.

Each day, you can tweet the Braggable Bargain for a chance to win 150 Swag Bucks!  Just go to the Swagbucks Rewards Store.  On the front page there are four screens that alternate; one of them is the Braggable Bargain screen as seen above.  Click on it and you'll be brought to that day's deal.

Then click the Tweet #BraggableBargain button.  You'll get a pop-up screen with the tweet.  IMPORTANT: Be sure to add your Swag Name to the tweet!  Otherwise you won't be able to win.  You can do it like this: Swag Name: frugalfollies - or like this: [frugalfollies].  (Of course, put your own Swag Name in instead of mine!)  Then click the Tweet button and you're done!

Two lucky tweeters each day will win 150 Swag Bucks.  I won a few days ago - you can, too!

I've used Swagbucks for close to three years, and so far I've earned over 58,000 Swag Bucks, enough to purchase over $625 in Amazon.com gift codes. You can do the same!

Head on over to the Birthday Blowout page to celebrate.  Here's how it works:

The Swag Nation as a whole is working together to meet five goals: earning Swag Bucks for searches, special offers, surveys, Swagbucks TV, and Invite & Earn.  Each time a member earns points in one of these five categories, the corresponding bar on the right-hand side moves up a little.

As we reach our goals, pieces of the puzzle on the left-hand side will be replaced with Swag Codes, which will last for 30 minutes.  Then a piece of the puzzle will be shown.

By the end of the day, if we meet all of our goals, there will be a rebus puzzle, which can be solved for additional Swag Bucks.
