This reminds me very much of a site called utalkback, in which you take surveys to earn points which you use to collect gift cards. I was very surprised to find out it was legitimate, even if it takes 6-8 months to get a 25 dollar gift card, that's still a free ds game every 6-8 months. Now I'll look into this site as well.

Has anyone used their Swagbucks on any of those Amazon.com e-Gift Cards? If so, how exactly does that work? I've never used Amazon.com before, and was wondering if they're worth it.
I get them all the time, But the thing is, the shipping will get you. Shipping on most games is $3.99, and Dvd's is $2.99
So you have to get something for aout a dollar without shipping, But I got some pretty nice dvd's/games even in that range.

Amazon cards are pretty much all I get off of here.
You order the card and within 2 weeks you get a code put into your account page under the "My Gift Cards" section. Just copy and paste the code found there into the Amazon gift card page.

Just in case nobody's noticed, it's cheaper to get the cards all through $5 ones, the other value cards are more expensive than they should be.

After just signing up myself, my first search of Pete Dorr won me 20 swag bucks, with the 30 I got for starting up, that was a quick 50.

Really love this site, been a member for almost a year now and have already gotten lots of stuff. Kinda wish I saved all of it and put it towards a 3DS though... But heres a list of things I've gotten so far:
-Dragonball Z Budokai 1+2 (PS2)
-Overlord (PC)
-Dark Messiah: Might and Magic (PC)
-Forza Motorsport 2 (X360)

and still have $10 left on Amazon.

They have added surveys as well, one of which I completed for 300 swag bucks. I wish I had more time for this, and I've gotten lazy with it as I probably could have had enough points for another amazon gift card by now.

I'm going to cash mine in for two of the $5 Amazon.com gift cards as soon as I figure out what I want to buy (I have 913 SB right now).

These aren't the droids we're looking for.

The only problem I have with the $5 gift cards is that, when I asked about them, I had nearly 3000 Swagbucks, and found out the annoying way that I could only snag 5 items a month xD Oh well, got 5 $5 Amazon gift cards last month and used them to buy the Sly Cooper series; made me pretty happy. Got another $10 in gift cards this month, but I'm letting my dad use them for his Father's Day present. Yep.

Don't forget that the gift card codes are only posted twice a month, so it's a smart idea to redeem them all at once if you want more than one for a purchase, that way you get the codes at the same time in case you redeem one code before a posting date and one code after. I think there should really be larger amounts so you don't have to just buy a handful of 5 dollar ones, and maybe even possibly make it a better deal to hold out for a larger amount.

There are larger amounts on the Swag Store. It's just that the price doesn't equal what it's worth.

A $5 Amazon card goes for 450 SB
A $50 Amazon card goes for 5900 SB

5 X 10 = 50
450 X 10 = 4500
So buying larger values cards doesn't come close to the value of the lower cards

I was unaware of that 50 dollar card, but seeing that its better to buy 10 5 dollars ones, well that's just stupid. They should make it something like the price f 9 of the 5 dollar cards, that way your getting one free for collecting all those swag bucks.

Nope, nothing bad will happen. I've been using it for almost a year now and it's been great.

I don't go as far as to check the blog and install the toolbar, but using the search, doing the daily polls, and taking part in the surveys is good enough for me, and I can assure you nothing "extra" is installed or pops up on your computer. I can't say for sure with the toolbar or whatever it is they have though, as I didn't want to install anything.

go into the "swag store" and check around then select something. There are things like gift cards which are popular because they are somewhat cheap and you can use them how you please, but there are also things like ps3's and what not, but you have to save up a real lot of swag bucks for those. With the gift cards you also don't have to worry about waiting for anything in the mail, being that they send you a coupon code, at least for the amazon ones, which you can just type into the website.

As far as I know shipping is free, because you don't link any type of account to your swag bucks account, however I can't say for certain because I always get the gift cards.
