Swagbucks? Help?

[Doglover8180]

I love Starbucks and saw this deal:

Today swagbucks has the $50 Starbucks gift card on sale for 5599 swagbucks (reg 5829 swagbucks).

What price is that? How does one buy it without having any swagbucks? It's a today only deal so I don't know how to aquire that many swagbucks in one day or what price that even is.

it is a great way to earn points that you can turn into gift cards just by searching the internet (or you can earn more points by shopping certain stores, completing surveys, or doing special offers)

I personally just use the swagbucks toolbar and use it as a means of navigating the web - I type where I want to go into my toolbar and it takes me to a swagbucks results page, and from there I go to the site I intended - many times earning swagbucks along the way with only searching I earn around 450 swagbucks (SB from now on) every two to three weeks, which I then redeem as a $5 giftcard to Amazon - it is the best deal I have seen (dollars to SB) and from amazon you can purchase other giftcards that would have otherwise cost you more SB (for instance the Starbucks card you mention in the OP costs 5829 SB - would only cost 4500 SB if I accumulated it as $5 amazon cards, then went to amazon to purchase he giftcard)

Anyway, to answer you original question - if you join swagbucks, and start completeing offers like a madperson you could theoretically accumulate enough SBs, but if there is a delay in rewarding the offers (which there usally is - anywhere from 5 min to a week) you maynot be able to redeem today.

As to the reliability of Swagbucks - As I said- I only use the toolbar, and in about a year and a half as a member, have redeemed $240 in Amazon gift cards - not shabby at all for just changing the way I navigate the web, and letting it take literally 1.5 seconds longer than typing urls directly

... sorry for writing this a book

Swagbucks is a points program. You download their toolbar and do searches with it and they reward you with points. You can also play games, so surveys, etc to earn points. It's more of an earn over time thing. I don't think you can get that many in one day.

Doglover, there is no way to earn that many quickly. I earn a lotta swagbucks, but 5500 takes me about 1.5 months, maybe more. Someone is brand new with no referrals could take way longer. That being said, you should sign up because it is an easy way to earn! $5 Amazon gcs are the best bang for your buck (pun intended).

450 swagbucks = $5 Amazon (90 bucks per dollar)
5599 swagbucks = $50 Starbucks (112 bucks per dollar)
