Got Swag?!

Since I've been using swagbucks for a couple of weeks now, I thought I'd pop in here with some tips on how to get the most out of your time using this awesome website!

First, head over to www.swagbucks.com to sign up- you'll receive swag bucks simply for signing up!

Once you've signed up there are several easy ways I've found to earn swag bucks:

1. Answer the daily poll- you'll receive 1 swagbuck just for answering one question! 
2. Complete the path of no obligation special offers (NOSO). Just keep clicking on "next offer" or "no thanks" and then enter in a captcha code at the end of the path to receive 2 swag bucks!
3. Surveys. I have found that taking surveys on swagbucks is definitely more worth it then on other survey sites. Often I would find myself taking almost an entire survey on other sites before being rejected. On swagbucks if I am rejected it will happen in a few questions and I will still receive 1 swagbuck for attempting the survey. Often completed surveys give me 50-100 or more swagbucks. So worth it!
4. Watching videos. When I watch videos on swagbucks I rarely pay attention to them, but they play so quickly and the points add up fast!

I'm sure there are many other ways to earn swag bucks but I haven't gotten around to discovering them all yet. I know you can make quite a bit off referrals but I haven't tried that yet!

Right now, after only a couple weeks I have earned over 700 swagbucks, and at 450 you are able to redeem them for a $5 Amazon gift card, 500 gets you other $5 gift cards! I plan on keeping them until my total is up high enough to get a BIG gift card as a reward. 

I think that this could be an amazing way to get your Christmas presents together if you buy a lot of gift cards. You could also use it to purchase gift cards that help with your week to week shopping. You could even purchase amazon gift cards and use those to buy gifts right online! There are tons of ways to use swagbucks to your advantage and I highly recommend you get your butt over there now! 

Happy swagging!

Weekly Couponing Wrapup

This week was very slow in the couponing department. Partly because it was a busy week overall with work and other responsibilities but also because I am still waiting for my new CVS card to come in. I don't want to lose out on any new ECB's due to not having my card so hopefully it will be in soon or I will figure out a way to use it without actually having it. 

I did manage to get a couple great deals this week though. The first was through Birchbox. Since it was my 6 month anniversary with Birchbox they sent me a code for 20% off my order. I decided to order a Boscia skin care item and ended up getting it for only $15. I used my 20% off coupon and also used the $10 I had earned on Birchbox for reviewing items from my boxes. Easy money!

I also found a great deal on Amazon for the limited edition Twilight book set. 

Look how pretty! Amazon has them for a limited time and they aren't too bad, especially if you can find a coupon code on retailmenot.com (a great website!) or go through ebates first so you can get cash back (which I totally forgot to do!)

I also wanted to quickly talk about a website that is awesome. I started using swagbucks and it is so easy to use and you can quickly earn points. When your points have reached a certain amount you are able to cash out and get a gift card for your hard work! I am still working on figuring out the whole site but once I do I'll post a couple tips on it!

Happy Couponing!
